Information We Collect

We collect information that helps us provide better education and support. This happens in a few different ways, and we want to be transparent about what we gather and why.

Personal Information You Provide

When you sign up for courses or contact us, you share certain details voluntarily. This includes your name, email address, phone number, and payment information. We also collect information about your educational background when relevant to course enrollment.

• Contact details like email and phone numbers you provide during registration
• Payment information processed securely through our payment partners
• Educational background and professional experience shared during course applications
• Communication preferences and feedback you provide through surveys or support tickets

Automatically Collected Information

Our website collects some technical information automatically. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you interact with our site. We use this data to improve user experience and troubleshoot technical issues.

How We Use Your Information

Your information serves specific purposes tied directly to delivering our educational services. We don't use your data for unrelated activities or share it carelessly with others.

1. Delivering course content, assignments, and educational materials through our platform
2. Processing payments and managing your enrollment status in programs
3. Sending important updates about your courses, schedule changes, or platform updates
4. Responding to your questions and providing technical or educational support
5. Improving our courses based on aggregated usage patterns and feedback
6. Complying with legal requirements under Philippine law and regulations

Data Storage and Security

Protecting your information isn't just about following regulations. It's about respecting the trust you place in us when you share personal details.

We store your data on secure servers with encryption both in transit and at rest. Access to personal information is restricted to employees who need it to perform their jobs. Our team undergoes regular training on data protection practices.

Security Measures We Implement

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments of our systems
• Multi-factor authentication for staff accessing sensitive information
• Automated backup systems with encrypted storage for data recovery
• Incident response procedures in case of any security breaches

Despite our best efforts, no system is completely immune to security risks. If we detect any breach affecting your information, we'll notify you promptly as required by Philippine data protection laws.

Your Rights Under Philippine Law

The Data Privacy Act of 2012 gives you specific rights regarding your personal information. We respect these rights and have processes in place to help you exercise them.

To exercise any of these rights, send us a written request to our contact email. We'll respond within fifteen days as required by law. Some requests may require identity verification to prevent unauthorized access to your information.

Sharing Information With Third Parties

We work with selected service providers who help us deliver our educational programs. These partners only receive information necessary for their specific functions.

Service Providers We Work With

• Payment processors who handle transactions securely on our behalf
• Email service providers who help us send course updates and communications
• Cloud hosting providers where our educational platform operates
• Analytics services that help us understand website usage patterns

All third-party providers sign contracts requiring them to protect your information and use it only for specified purposes. They cannot use your data for their own marketing or other unrelated activities.

We may also disclose information when legally required by Philippine authorities or to protect our rights and property. But we'll only share what's absolutely necessary in such situations.

Data Retention Periods

We keep your information only as long as necessary for educational purposes and legal compliance. Different types of data have different retention schedules.

Course enrollment records and payment information are kept for seven years to comply with Philippine tax and accounting regulations. Your learning progress and course materials remain accessible while you maintain an active account.

If you close your account, we'll delete most personal information within 90 days. Some data may be retained longer if required for legal purposes or legitimate business interests, like resolving disputes or enforcing agreements.

Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for adults pursuing professional education in financial modeling. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 years old without parental consent.

If you're under 18 and interested in our courses, please have a parent or guardian contact us to discuss enrollment options and provide necessary consent.

Changes to This Policy

Privacy practices evolve as technology and regulations change. We update this policy periodically to reflect those changes and will notify you of significant updates.

Check this page occasionally to stay informed about how we protect your information. The date at the top shows when we last made changes. Continuing to use our services after updates means you accept the revised terms.

International Data Transfers

While we primarily serve students in the Philippines, some of our service providers operate servers in other countries. When data crosses borders, we ensure it receives adequate protection through contractual safeguards.

We only work with providers in countries that meet international data protection standards or who agree to follow Philippine data privacy requirements for your information.
