Our Commitment to Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. This notice will explain our privacy practices, such as the data we collect, what we do with the data, and the options you have regarding your personal data. This privacy policy applies to the eLearning site.
What We Collect
In order to register an account on the eLearning site, we must collect the following information:
- Email address
- Organization ID
This data is necessary for identifying users on the learning management system. The Organization ID is a unique identifier that should have been provided to you by your organization.
In addition, your organization may request that we collect additional information, such as:
- Work location
- Employee ID
- Department
- Position
- Rank
The specifics of such data are dependent upon your organization. Contact your organization’s administrator for details.
While using the system, we also keep track of the courses you have taken, when you started them, when you finished them, and your score, if any.
In addition, we keep track of your current progress through a course in a cookie file in your browser.
How We Use the Information
The data we collect are necessary for the operation of the learning management system or the generation of learning status reports for your organization. This data will not be shared with anyone else besides those in your organization responsible for administrating your learning.
We use your first and last name, email address, and organization ID to register your account on the learning management system.
Depending on what your organization requests, we use a combination of all your data to generate learning reports for your organization’s administrator. This means your progress (in terms of courses taken and finished) may be monitored by your organization.
Your current progress through a course allows us to load the course from where you left off. This information is stored in your browser via a file called a cookie. You can clear this information by clearing the cookies on your browser.
Security of Your Information
We have put in place appropriate technical and organizational processes to prevent unauthorized access or modification of your personal data and to ensure correct usage of your information.
In addition, authorized external accesses to your information, such as those done by your organization’s administrator, will be logged. We can provide a record of such accesses upon your request.
Should the case arise in which the security of your personal data is breached and your personal data are compromised, we will notify you as expediently as possible.
