    INFORMATION THAT ecuni.org COLLECTS FROM YOU (INCLUDING PERSONAL INFORMATION)<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    ecuni.org directly collects information when you:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • sign up for an ecuni.org user account and create an ecuni.org user profile;<\/li>\n
    • enroll and participate in online courses;<\/li>\n

      ecuni.org also indirectly collects usage information about your visit to the ecuni.org Site, as explained in the section below titled Cookies and Tracking Technologies<\/p>\n

      ecuni.org does not itself collect or store financial account numbers or identification issued by a governmental entity, employer, or other authority. Instead, if you choose to make a purchase on the ecuni.org Site, for example a Verified Certificate, you will be directed to ecuni.org\u2019s third-party payment processor and ecuni.org\u2019s third-party ID verification service provider. If you do not wish to submit the required authentication or payment information, then you will not be able to obtain a certificate via the ecuni.org Site.<\/p>\n

      ecuni.org requires your Personal Information only in limited circumstances when you:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • sign up for an ecuni.org user account (name, username, email address);<\/li>\n
      • purchase a Verified Certificate (so that ecuni.org\u2019s third-party vendor can authenticate your identity) or other product or service (so that ecuni.org\u2019s third-party vendor can process payment);<\/li>\n
      • participate in remote proctoring or other course facilitation processes (so that ecuni.org\u2019s third-party vendor can monitor and assess the integrity of your course activity); or<\/li>\n
      • earn a Verified Certificate (the certificate will have your name on it).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        To the extent that ecuni.org associates the information that ecuni.org collects directly or indirectly with an individual (for example, you), the association is based on Personal Information in your account profile.<\/p>\n

        You may voluntarily choose to share additional Personal Information on the ecuni.org Site, for example:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • in your ecuni.org account profile (and you may display a limited or full profile to other ecuni.org Site users);<\/li>\n
        • in applying for financial assistance; or<\/li>\n
        • when participating in a course, forum, webinar, or other interactive experience on the ecuni.org Site (noting that in some cases, this information is shared with a third party that provides tools or other assistance for the ecuni.org Site or a course).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          ecuni.org encourages you to use discretion before voluntarily sharing additional Personal Information on the ecuni.org Site. (If you later choose to delete your ecuni.org account, deletion of your Personal Information will be subject to the process and limits outlined below.)<\/p>\n

          Members do not receive your Personal Information unless and until you enroll in a course. If you enroll in a course, the Member that offers the course will receive Personal Information from your ecuni.org account profile plus the information that ecuni.org collects about your activity and performance in the course in which you enrolled.<\/p>\n

              You have some options for managing Cookies and other Tracking Technologies. These include:<\/p>\n

              • Opting-out of certain third-party tracking and advertising: Some of the third parties used by ecuni.org or a Member for Cookies and Tracking Technologies offer the ability to opt-out from their tracking by following processes described on their websites.

                  HOW YOUR INFORMATION IS SHARED<\/strong><\/h4>\n

                  ecuni.org and Members share information, including Personal Information, with third parties for the following purposes:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • With service providers, contractors, and other third parties that help carry out the uses described above \u2013 ecuni.org requires third parties to: (1) abide by this Privacy Policy and applicable law; (2) handle Personal Information in a confidential manner and maintain adequate security; and (3) use Personal Information only as needed to fulfill the relevant purpose(s). In some cases, the ecuni.org Site and individual courses are integrated with third-party services or contain links to websites published by third parties, including other content providers as well as service providers. These third parties are responsible for their own privacy practices, so you should pay attention anytime you are redirected to a third-party website and be sure to review its privacy policy.<\/li>\n

This also includes providing opportunities for you to communicate with other users who may have similar interests or educational goals, for instance, recommending specific study partners or connecting potential student mentees and mentors. In such cases, ecuni.org and each Member that offers a course in which you enrolled may use all information collected about you to determine who might be interested in communicating with you, but will only provide others your username (for clarity, no disclosure of your real name or email address).<\/li>\n

                  • With affiliates of ecuni.org or a Member, or with successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or reorganization, for their use consistent with this Privacy Policy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    ecuni.org or a Member may also seek your consent for additional disclosures of information, including Personal Information, and will share it only as described to you.

                    HOW TO MANAGE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION<\/strong><\/h4>\n

                    You can manage your Personal Information through learner features on the ecuni.org Site and requests to the ecuni.org learner support team. If your request involves information controlled by a Member, ecuni.org learner support will notify and coordinate with the appropriate Member to address your request. ecuni.org will provide support to the extent required by applicable law (for example, learners in the European Union) and more broadly when possible, as a courtesy in our sole discretion. ecuni.org will notify you in the event that ecuni.org is unable to meet a request that is not legally required. Similarly, Members will only be obligated to comply with requests to the extent legally required, but may choose to comply with other requests in their sole discretion.<\/p>\n

                    Access and correct your Personal Information<\/u><\/p>\n

                    Much of your Personal Information is available in your ecuni.org account.

                    • Usernames cannot ever be changed. This is an ecuni.org system restriction. Because usernames identify you in courses and elsewhere on the ecuni.org Site, ecuni.org encourages you to use discretion in choosing your username. If you want to protect your identity, do not use your real name or a name identifiable to you as your username.<\/li>\n
                    • ecuni.org does not track or index every time or every place on the ecuni.org Site when or where a learner may volunteer Personal Information, so neither ecuni.org nor Members will be able to help you locate or manage all such instances. ecuni.org encourages you to use discretion before volunteering Personal Information on the ecuni.org Site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      Restrict or object to the processing of Personal Information<\/u><\/p>\n

Please note that if you choose to restrict ecuni.org\u2019s or a Member\u2019s ability to process Personal Information, and the processing is otherwise required to provide you with various services and products offered on the ecuni.org Site, you may not be able to establish an ecuni.org user account or enroll for a course, and ecuni.org or a Member may not be able to provide you with those services or products.<\/p>\n

                      Delete account and Personal Information<\/u><\/p>\n

                      To request deletion of your ecuni.org account and Personal Information, you should click the button labeled \u201cDelete my account\u201d in your ecuni.org account settings. Because deletion on the ecuni.org system is a permanent action and cannot be reversed, ecuni.org may ask you to complete a process that aims to confirm your authority to manage the ecuni.org account affected by your request.<\/p>\n

                      With respect to your ecuni.org account, ecuni.org will permanently:<\/p>\n

                        As noted above, to the extent that ecuni.org associates the information that ecuni.org collects directly or indirectly with an individual (for example, you), the association is based on Personal Information in your ecuni.org account profile. By erasing the Personal Information in your ecuni.org account profile, the remaining information about your activity on the ecuni.org Site will no longer be associated with you, except as noted below.<\/p>\n

                        These changes will be applied to data stores that are used for operation of the ecuni.org Site including course administration by Members. If you enrolled in any courses on the ecuni.org Site, the ecuni.org learner support team will share your request with the Members that offered those courses.<\/p>\n

                        Exceptions<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        • Deletion will not apply to historical activity logs or archives unless and until these logs and data naturally \u201cage-off\u201d the ecuni.org system.<\/li>\n
                        • ecuni.org does not track or index every time or every place on the ecuni.org Site when or where a learner may volunteer Personal Information, so neither ecuni.org nor Members will be able to help you locate or manage all such instances. ecuni.org encourages you to use discretion before voluntarily sharing your Personal Information on the ecuni.org Site.<\/li>\n
                        • ecuni.org will archive course data (in a manner and to the extent permitted under applicable law) to serve its mission to enable scientific research on cognitive science and education. These archives are used to produce encrypted research data packages for Members, and Personal Information may not be deleted from research data packages retained by Members.<\/li>\n
                        • ecuni.org and each applicable Member cannot always delete records of past interactions and transactions. For example, records relating to previous purchases on the ecuni.org Site must be retained for financial reporting, audit, and compliance reasons.<\/li>\n
                        • ecuni.org and each Member will retain and use Personal Information as necessary to comply with its legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce its agreements, and as otherwise permitted by applicable law.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                          Data retention<\/u><\/p>\n

                          ecuni.org will retain your Personal Information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with services; to maintain a record of your transactions for financial reporting, audit, and compliance purposes; and to comply with ecuni.org\u2019s legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce its agreements, and as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
