Core-Tieup Data Tracking Policy
At Core-Tieup, we are committed to protecting the privacy and data of our users while delivering a seamless and personalized educational experience. This document explains how we
collect, manage, and utilize tracking technologies on our platform, ensuring transparency and compliance with relevant regulations. By understanding this policy, you can make informed
decisions about your privacy preferences while using our services.
Technology Usage
To provide an engaging and efficient learning experience, Core-Tieup employs various tracking technologies. These tools are essential for enhancing platform functionality, improving
performance, and tailoring content to individual needs. Below, we outline the categories of technologies we use and their purposes.
Introduction to Tracking Technology
Tracking technologies have become a cornerstone of modern websites, enabling platforms to understand user behavior, optimize features, and deliver tailored experiences. For an
online education platform like Core-Tieup, these tools help us ensure our courses, resources, and support systems meet the diverse needs of our users.
Necessary Technologies
Some tracking tools are fundamental to the operation of our platform. For example, session cookies maintain user logins during class sessions, ensuring uninterrupted access to
course materials. Without these technologies, critical functions like secure login and progress tracking would be impossible.
Performance Tracking
Performance technologies help us analyze how users interact with our platform. By monitoring page load times, video playback quality, and other metrics, we can identify and address
technical issues. This ensures that educational content is delivered smoothly, even during high-traffic periods.
Functional Technologies
Functional tools store preferences such as language settings, accessibility features, and notification choices. These technologies allow users to customize their experience, making
learning more intuitive and enjoyable. For instance, they ensure that a student with visual impairments can access content in their preferred format seamlessly.
Customization Methods
Our platform uses personalization technologies to recommend courses and resources based on user interests and past interactions. For example, a student studying mathematics may see
suggestions for advanced algebra or calculus courses, creating a tailored educational journey.
Data Ecosystem Overview
These technologies work together within a broader ecosystem to offer a cohesive experience. By integrating necessary, performance, functional, and customization tools, Core-Tieup
can deliver a platform that is both reliable and responsive to individual needs.
Usage Limitations
We respect your right to control how tracking technologies interact with your data. Below, we explain the options available to you and the potential impact of your selections on the
Core-Tieup platform.
User Rights and Privacy Regulations
You have the right to manage your data preferences in line with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA. These regulations empower you to control how your data is collected, stored, and
used. At Core-Tieup, we fully support these rights and aim to provide accessible tools for managing your privacy.
Managing Preferences in Browsers
Most browsers allow you to manage cookies and other tracking technologies through their settings. For instance, in Google Chrome, you can navigate to "Settings > Privacy and
Security > Cookies and Other Site Data" to block or delete cookies. Other browsers like Firefox and Safari offer similar options.
Opt-Out Mechanisms
Core-Tieup provides a dedicated preference center where you can opt out of non-essential tracking. This tool lets you customize which cookies and trackers are active during your
sessions, offering greater control over your privacy.
Consequences of Disabling Tracking
While disabling certain technologies may enhance privacy, it can also limit functionality. For example, turning off necessary cookies may prevent you from logging in, while
disabling performance tools could result in slower page load times or interrupted video playback.
Third-Party Tools
Several third-party tools, such as browser extensions, can help manage tracking technologies. Options like Privacy Badger or Ghostery allow you to block trackers across multiple
sites, including Core-Tieup. However, these tools may also affect the functionality of our platform.
Balancing Privacy and Functionality
Finding the right balance between privacy and usability is crucial. We recommend adjusting settings to suit your comfort level while ensuring you can still access the features that
matter most to your educational experience.
Further Considerations
Retention Schedules
Core-Tieup retains user data based on specific timeframes. For instance, session cookies expire after each login, while preferences for customizable features may be stored for up to
a year. Data no longer required is securely deleted to minimize risks.
Security Measures
We employ a range of safeguards to protect user data, including encryption, firewalls, and access controls. Organizational measures, such as regular staff training and audits,
further enhance our commitment to security.
Data Integration
In some cases, Core-Tieup integrates data from external sources to improve services. For example, integrating enrollment data from partner institutions can streamline the onboarding
process for new students.
Regulatory Compliance
Our platform adheres to global privacy frameworks, including GDPR for EU users and FERPA for educational institutions in the US. These regulations guide our data practices and
ensure user rights are respected.
International Considerations
For users outside the United States, we implement region-specific protocols to meet local privacy standards. For example, data from EU users is processed in compliance with GDPR’s
data transfer requirements.
External Providers
Core-Tieup collaborates with selected partners to enhance platform functionality and support services. Below, we detail the types of providers involved and how they interact with
user data.
Types of Partners
Our partners include analytics providers, payment processors, and content delivery networks. Each plays a specific role in ensuring the smooth operation of our platform.
Data Collection
These providers may collect data such as IP addresses, transaction details, and usage patterns. This information helps them perform their functions efficiently and securely.
Data Usage
For example, analytics providers use data to generate insights about platform performance, while payment processors utilize transaction details to complete purchases securely.
User Control
You can manage interactions with these providers through our privacy settings. Opt-out options are available for non-essential data sharing, ensuring you retain control over your
information.
Safeguards
We enforce strict contractual and technical measures to protect your data during interactions with partners. These include data encryption, confidentiality agreements, and periodic
compliance reviews.
Other Methods
Web Beacons and Pixels
These small, transparent images track user interactions, such as email opens or website visits. They help us measure engagement and refine our communication strategies.
Local and Session Storage
We use these tools to temporarily store data like login states and user preferences. Local storage may retain data for extended periods, while session storage clears automatically
when the browser is closed.
Device Recognition
Device recognition technologies identify user devices to enhance security and deliver personalized experiences. For instance, recognizing a returning device can streamline the login
process.
Server-Side Methods
Our servers collect data like IP addresses and error logs to maintain platform stability. This information enables us to diagnose issues and improve performance.
User Control
We provide tools for managing these methods, ensuring you can adjust settings based on your privacy preferences. Detailed instructions are available in our preference center.
Policy Updates
Core-Tieup periodically reviews this policy to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or our practices. Updates occur at least annually or when significant changes arise.
We notify users of major changes through email or in-platform notifications, typically providing at least 30 days' notice. Minor updates may be noted in the policy without
additional alerts.
Previous versions of this document are available upon request. Contact us if you wish to review historical policies for comparison or reference.
Significant changes include updates to data-sharing practices or the introduction of new tracking technologies, while minor edits may involve clarifications or formatting
