This Privacy Policy explains how Farmer Notebook processes personal data in connection with its website and online courses on IT security and digital literacy. It applies to visitors, registered users, and other individuals who interact with the site.
Subject to applicable law, individuals may request access to their personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion where appropriate, or restriction of certain processing. Users may also object to processing based on legitimate interests in cases where that ground is used. Where consent is the basis for processing, it may be withdrawn for future processing.
To protect privacy and security, we may ask for information needed to verify a request before acting on it. We will respond within a reasonable period and in accordance with applicable legal requirements. If a request cannot be fully granted, we will explain the main reason where permitted.
Retention periods depend on the type of data and the reason it was collected. Account and course records are kept while the account or service relationship remains active and for a reasonable period afterward. Technical logs and similar records are retained for security, troubleshooting, and audit purposes, then deleted or anonymized when they are no longer needed.
When we make material changes, we will update the policy on the website and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The revised version applies from its stated effective date.
Privacy overview
This section outlines the main categories of information processed, where it may come from, the cookie technologies in use, and the choices available to users.
We may collect identification details, contact information, account credentials, course enrollment records, payment-related information if applicable, communications sent to us, and technical data such as device, browser, and usage information. We also process content submitted through forms, quizzes, support requests, and other interactions with the website.
We receive data directly from users when they create an account, register for courses, submit forms, or contact us. We also obtain technical and usage data automatically through the website and cookies. In some cases, we receive limited information from payment processors, hosting providers, analytics services, or other operational partners acting on our behalf.
The website may use session cookies, persistent cookies, and similar technologies. These may be used to keep the site functioning, remember settings, support login and course access, and understand how the site is used. Where analytics or similar tools are enabled, they are used in a limited way to improve performance and content structure.
Users may manage cookies through their browser settings and, where available, through on-site preference controls. Blocking or removing cookies may affect site functions, saved preferences, and access to some course features. Essential cookies may still be used where needed to operate the website securely and reliably.
Use the contact details below for questions about this policy or the handling of personal data.
We use personal data to provide course access, manage accounts, process registrations, respond to inquiries, maintain the website, improve content and functionality, monitor security, prevent abuse, meet legal obligations, and keep records related to transactions and support. We may also use data to communicate service notices and administrative updates connected to the user’s relationship with the site.
We may share personal data with service providers that support hosting, maintenance, analytics, communications, payment processing, security, or course delivery. These parties are expected to use the data only for the services they provide and to apply appropriate confidentiality and security measures. If business operations are reorganized, relevant data may be transferred as part of that process subject to applicable safeguards.
We may disclose personal data where necessary to comply with law, court orders, or lawful requests from public authorities. We may also share information to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, to investigate fraud or misuse, or to protect the security of users, the website, and our operations.
