Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy was last updated on June 14, 2020.

Introduction

This Privacy Policy covers the data collection practices of joydemy llc (“joydemy,” “we,” “us”) and describes your rights to access, correct, or restrict our use of your personal data. This Privacy Policy applies when you visit or use the joydemy website or access its print or electronic materials in any other way (the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Data you provide to us

Account data

When you create a user account, we collect and store the data you provide, such as your email address and password.

Profile data

You may choose to provide profile information such as a photo, screen name, and other data. Your profile data information can be publicly viewable by other users.

Shared content

The Services allow you to interact with other users or share content with them, such as by asking or answering questions, sending messages to students or instructors, or posting images or videos. This shared content can be publicly viewable by other users.

Course data

When you take a course, we collect comments, questions, images, videos, and other information that you upload.

Purchase data

If you make purchases, we collect certain data about your purchase (such as your name and zip code) as necessary to process your order. You must provide certain payment and billing data directly to our payment processing partners, including your name, credit card information, billing address, and zip code. For security, joydemy does not collect or store sensitive cardholder data, such as full credit card numbers or card authentication data.

Communications and support data

If you sign up for marketing emails or contact us for support, information you provide will be stored and used in our communications with you. Polling data will be used for business planning and marketing.

Automated data collection

Through our website's scripts, server logs, and third parties such as Google Analytics (as described in our Cookie Policy), we collect data by automated means.

System data

We collect technical data about your device, such as your device type, browser, platform, third-party website that direct you to our site, times of visits, how often you visit, IP address, and events within the Services.

Usage data

When you take a course, we collect data about your usage of that course including information about time spent on each lesson, viewing videos, quiz answers, and viewing and downloading additional information.

What we use your data for

We use your data to:

  • Provide and administer the Services
  • Process purchases
  • Communicate with you about your account
  • Sending you marketing information
  • Managing account preferences
  • Improve our Services

Data locations

We and our service providers store and process your data on computer equipment such as servers owned by our service providers. This equipment is located around the world. By submitting your data or using our Services, you consent to this transfer, storage, and processing by us and our service providers in any country.

Who we share your data with

We do not give, sell, rent, share, or otherwise provide your data to other organizations for marketing purposes.

We may share data with the following third parties:

  • Instructors and subject matter experts.
  • Other students, in the case of data you have elected to make publicly visible.
  • Service providers and contractors, such as payment processors, email services, and web hosting services.
  • Social media companies, in order to implement social media features in the Services (like a Facebook Like button). Using these features may allow the third-party social media provider to collect things like your IP address and which page of the Services you’re visiting, and to set a cookie to enable the feature. Your interactions with these features are governed by the third-party company’s privacy policy.
  • Parties participating in a change in control. If joydemy undergoes a business transaction like a merger, acquisition, corporate divestiture, or dissolution (including bankruptcy), or a sale of all or some of its assets, we may share, disclose, or transfer all of your data to the successor organization during such transition or in contemplation of a transition (including during due diligence).
  • Google Analytics, which collects visitor data on our behalf.
  • Google reCAPTCHA v2 and/or v3 is used to fight spam and abuse on the website. The use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

Security

We take appropriate security based on the type of data being stored. As with any internet-enabled system, there is always a risk of unauthorized access. No system can be 100% secured, so we cannot guarantee that communications between us, the Services, or any information provided to us in connection with the data we collect through the Services will be free from unauthorized access by third parties.

You should follow these security practices for this and other websites you use:

  • Use a unique password that is not reused on other websites.
  • Protect your password and do not share it with anyone else.
  • If you suspect any unauthorized access to your account, change your password and contact us at support@joydemy.com.

Your rights

To stop receiving promotional communications from us, you can opt out by using the unsubscribe mechanism in the promotional communication you receive.

The browser or device you use may allow you to control cookies and other types of local data storage. Your wireless device may also allow you to control whether location or other data is collected and shared.

To opt out of Google Analytics, use its browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

You may update or terminate your account by visiting your account settings page.

Parents who believe that we may have collected personal data from a child under age 16 can submit a request that it be removed to support@joydemy.com.

Updates to this policy

When we make a material change to this policy, we’ll notify users via email, in-product notice, or another mechanism required by law. Changes become effective the day they’re posted. As permitted by applicable law, if you continue to use the Services after the effective date of any change, then your access and/or use will be deemed an acceptance of (and agreement to follow and be bound by) the revised Privacy Policy. The revised Privacy Policy supersedes all previous Privacy Policies. Please contact us at support@joydemy.com with any questions, concerns, or disputes.
