How Learn and Thrive protects your personal data
Learn and Thrive will take appropriate measures to protect personal data consistent with applicable privacy and data security laws.
When Learn and Thrive uses a third-party service provider, (eg, email providers, online banking, social media platforms) that provider will be required to use appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality and security of personal data.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet is 100 percent secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, Learn and Thrive cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
Sharing personal data with third parties
Learn and Thrive may share the personal data of a data subject in compliance with applicable law.
In certain special cases where permitted by applicable law, Learn and Thrive may disclose your personal data:
when Learn and Thrive has reason to believe that disclosure of this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to you or otherwise injuring or interfering with Learn and Thrive’s rights, property, or operations, other users of this website or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities;
when Learn and Thrive believes that applicable law requires it, or in response to any demand by law enforcement authorities.
Unless otherwise specified on the website or by directly asking your permission, Learn and Thrive will not pass your personal data to other third parties.
Sometimes Learn and Thrive uses selected third parties to provide support services in the normal course of business (eg, Google for email, online banking portals etc). These parties may, from time to time, have access to your personal data to enable them to provide those services to Learn and Thrive. Learn and Thrive requires all third parties providing such support services to meet the same standards of the Act. Any third party will be prohibited from using your personal data for that third party’s own purposes. In particular, Learn and Thrive will not allow service providers to use your personal data for the marketing activities of that service provider.
