This Privacy Policy explains how Retire Match handles personal data on retirematch.space in connection with its courses on IT security and digital literacy. It describes what we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices available to users.
This summary highlights how to navigate the information provided in this policy.
We use personal data to provide and manage accounts, enroll users in courses, deliver learning content, process transactions, respond to inquiries, maintain security, prevent fraud or misuse, analyze site performance, and meet legal or accounting obligations. We may also use data to improve course structure and support internal administration.
We may share personal data with hosting providers, analytics services, payment processors, communication tools, and other vendors that support site operations. These parties act under contractual or similar obligations and may use the data only for the services they provide to us. We do not authorize them to use personal data for their own unrelated purposes.
We may share personal data with courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other authorities when required to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights, or address security incidents. We may also disclose information where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Subject to legal limits, you may request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of data that is no longer needed, or restriction of certain processing. You may also object to processing in some cases. Where consent is used as a basis for processing, you may withdraw it for future processing.
To make a privacy request, provide enough information for us to identify the relevant record and describe the change or action you want. We may ask for additional details to verify identity and protect against unauthorized disclosure. If we cannot fully honor a request, we will explain the reason where permitted by law.
Retention periods vary by data type and purpose. Account and course records are kept while the account or enrollment remains active and for a reasonable period afterward for administration, security, and recordkeeping. Technical logs are kept for a shorter period unless needed for investigation, compliance, or dispute handling. When data is no longer required, we delete it or anonymize it where appropriate.
When we make material changes, we will post the revised policy on this page and indicate the updated effective date where appropriate. Continued use of the site after an update means the revised policy applies to your use of the website.
We may collect identifiers such as name or contact details, account and enrollment information, course activity records, payment-related information if applicable, device and browser data, IP address, and communications sent to us. We also process technical logs and usage data that help us operate the site, maintain security, and understand how our IT security and digital literacy courses are used.
We collect data when you create an account, register for a course, submit forms, contact us, or otherwise use the website. Some information is generated automatically through your device, browser, and session activity. We may also receive limited information from service providers that help us host the site, process transactions, or support analytics and security functions.
Our site may use essential cookies to support core functions, preference cookies to remember selected settings, and analytics cookies to understand general site performance and course usage. Cookies may be session-based or persistent. We use them to keep the site secure, improve usability, and measure whether content is working as intended.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through on-site preference tools. Blocking some cookies may affect site functions, including login, course access, and security features. We do not rely on cookie settings to override choices required by law or necessary for essential site operation.
