7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, misuse, or destruction.

Certain courses, payment, transaction, accounting, legal, security, fraud-prevention, or other records may need to be retained where required or permitted by law. Where information is retained, it will continue to be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Google's account-deletion requirement specifically applies to apps that allow users to create accounts in the app. Your mobile app does not provide account creation, but your policy should still explain how an existing student's account/data deletion request can be made.

Some S-Tec courses may be suitable for students under the age of 18.

Where applicable, registration, enrollment, or participation by a minor may require involvement or consent from a parent or legal guardian in accordance with applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect children's personal information in circumstances where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

12. International Data Processing

Depending on the service providers we use, personal information may be processed or stored in locations outside your country.

Where required by applicable law, we take appropriate measures when transferring personal information across jurisdictions.
