How Do We Share Your Data

We will not sell, rent, or share Personal Data with third parties outside of our company without your consent, except in the following ways:

Customers.  Our service involves providing a platform to present knowledge base and course content from Customers to End Users.  This involves presenting the content and ensuring that certain End Users have accessed and reviewed the content for the benefit of both the Customer and End User.  As such, we share End User contact information and applicable  End User search history and End User Program Information access history with Customers to confirm End User attendance and review of the content.

Comments.  If you post a comment, it will be shared with other End Users accessing the Programming Information and the Customer that posted the Programming Information. Once posted, comments cannot be edited, but may be deleted by contacting the Customer that is providing the Programming Information.

Charging for Services. When you enter your credit card information, we transmit your information to Chargebee for processing, but Company does not store any credit card data associated with any purchases processed on the Site.

Law Enforcement and Internal Operations

Personal Data may be provided where we are required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that it is reasonably necessary (i) to respond to claims asserted against Company or to comply with the legal process (for example, discovery requests, subpoenas or warrants); (ii) to enforce or administer our policies and agreements with users; (iii) for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation, customer support, product development and de-bugging purposes; or (iv) to protect the rights, property or safety of Company, its users or members of the general public. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify users about law enforcement or court ordered requests for data unless otherwise prohibited by law.
