How We Use Your Information

Your information helps us deliver quality education and maintain effective communication. Here's how we use different types of data:

  • Providing access to course materials, assignments, and educational resources
  • Tracking your progress through our financial modeling curriculum
  • Sending important updates about your enrollment, schedule changes, or new course offerings
  • Responding to your questions and providing technical support
  • Improving our educational content based on student feedback and performance data
  • Maintaining security and preventing unauthorized access to our platform
  • Conducting research to enhance our teaching methods (with anonymized data only)
  • Sending periodic newsletters about industry trends and additional learning opportunities (with your consent)

We base our data processing on several legal grounds under Canadian privacy law, including your consent, our legitimate business interests in providing education services, and contractual necessity to fulfill our obligations to students.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We maintain strict control over your personal information and only share data when necessary to provide our services or comply with legal requirements.

All third-party providers are carefully vetted and required to maintain appropriate security measures. We never sell your personal information to marketers, data brokers, or other commercial entities.

We may disclose information if required by Canadian law, court order, or to protect the safety and rights of our students and staff. In such cases, we'll notify you unless legally prohibited from doing so.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Canadian privacy legislation, including PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), you have several important rights regarding your personal information:

Access and Portability

Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you, including your educational records and progress data. We'll provide this information within 30 days of your request.

Correction and Updates

Request corrections to inaccurate or outdated information. You can update most information directly through your student portal or by contacting our support team.

Data Deletion

Request deletion of your personal information, subject to our legal obligations to maintain educational records. We'll explain any limitations and delete what we legally can.

Processing Restrictions

Request that we limit how we use your information, such as opting out of marketing communications while maintaining access to course materials.

Consent Withdrawal

Withdraw consent for specific uses of your information, though this may affect our ability to provide certain services or communications.

Complaint Process

File complaints about our privacy practices with our privacy officer or directly with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below. We'll respond promptly and guide you through the process.

Data Security and Protection

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

  • End-to-end encryption for all data transmission and storage
  • Multi-factor authentication for staff access to student information
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
  • Secure, Canadian-based data centers with physical access controls
  • Employee training on privacy and security best practices
  • Automated backup systems with encrypted off-site storage
  • Network monitoring and intrusion detection systems
  • Regular software updates and security patch management

While we maintain robust security measures, no system is completely immune to threats. We continuously monitor and improve our security practices to stay ahead of emerging risks.

If we experience any security incident affecting your personal information, we'll notify you within 72 hours and provide details about what happened and steps we're taking to address the situation.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Different types of information have different retention periods:

Payment and billing information 7 years Tax and accounting requirements
Marketing communications preferences Until withdrawal of consent Ongoing communication management
Technical logs and security data 2 years Security monitoring and compliance

After retention periods expire, we securely delete information using industry-standard data destruction methods. You can request earlier deletion in many cases, subject to our legal obligations.

International Data Transfers

We primarily store and process your information within Canada using Canadian-based service providers. However, some of our technology partners may process data outside Canada.

When we do transfer information internationally, we ensure adequate protection through:

  • Contractual safeguards requiring equivalent privacy protection
  • Verification of adequate privacy laws in destination countries
  • Additional encryption and security measures during transfer
  • Regular monitoring of international partners' privacy practices

You have the right to know when your information is transferred outside Canada and can request details about the safeguards in place.

  • Essential cookies: Required for basic website functionality and security
  • Performance cookies: Help us understand which pages are most useful
