At BrainLight, we prioritize the privacy and trust of our users while delivering an engaging and effective educational experience. This policy explains how we use data, the technologies we employ to enhance your experience, and the options available to you for managing your privacy preferences. By being transparent about our practices, we aim to empower users to make informed decisions while benefiting from the full range of features BrainLight offers.
We use various tracking technologies to enhance your educational experience, streamline our platform, and ensure it functions efficiently. These technologies are common across modern websites and play a critical role in enabling personalized and effective online learning environments.
Tracking technologies, such as cookies and similar tools, are small files or scripts stored on your device. They help us remember your preferences, measure how you interact with our platform, and provide insights to improve our services. For example, when you revisit BrainLight, these tools can remember your last accessed course module, saving you time and effort.
Certain tracking technologies are essential for the core functionality of the BrainLight platform. Without them, many basic operations would be impossible. For instance, they enable secure logins, ensure that your progress in courses is saved, and maintain the stability of our site. Disabling these technologies would mean features like resuming videos where you left off or completing assessments accurately would no longer work.
Performance tracking tools help us understand how the platform is being used and identify areas for improvement. They collect anonymized data on things like how long users spend on a particular lesson or which areas of the site are accessed most frequently. For example, if we notice that students are spending more time on specific topics, we can refine those sections to make them even more helpful and engaging.
Functional technologies enhance the user experience by storing your preferences and adapting the platform to suit your needs. For instance, they can remember your language setting or whether you prefer dark mode for late-night study sessions. These tools ensure that your BrainLight experience is smooth and tailored to your preferences each time you log in.
Customization technologies enable us to create a truly personalized learning experience. By analyzing your interaction with the platform, we can recommend courses, highlight relevant resources, or suggest study schedules that fit your habits. For example, if you’ve shown interest in a particular subject, we might recommend related advanced courses to help you deepen your knowledge.
All these technologies work together as part of a broader data ecosystem. Necessary tools ensure the platform operates correctly, performance tracking highlights areas for improvement, functional tools make your experience enjoyable, and customization methods provide a tailored learning journey. Together, they optimize BrainLight while respecting your privacy and preferences.
We respect your rights to control how your data is used and provide mechanisms to help you manage these choices. However, it’s important to understand the potential impact of your decisions on the functionality and experience of the BrainLight platform.
As a user, you have the right to control the data collected about your activities. This includes the ability to decline non-essential tracking technologies and request details about how your data is used. Depending on your location, additional rights may apply under frameworks like the GDPR or CCPA, which empower you to access, correct, or delete your information.
You can manage your tracking preferences directly through your browser. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via settings menus. For example:
BrainLight also provides built-in tools to manage your preferences. By accessing our preference center, you can customize which types of tracking technologies are enabled. For instance, you might choose to allow functional cookies for a smoother experience while declining performance tracking tools.
Disabling certain types of tracking may limit the functionality of BrainLight. For example:
If you’re concerned about privacy but still want to access essential features, consider using privacy-focused browser extensions or settings that block non-essential tracking while allowing necessary functionality.
Balancing privacy and functionality is a personal choice. We encourage you to review your options carefully and make decisions that align with your priorities while ensuring an optimal learning experience on BrainLight.
In addition to the technologies we use, BrainLight is committed to broader privacy and security practices that protect your data and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
We retain different types of data for varying periods depending on its purpose. For example, course progress data may be stored as long as your account is active, while session data might be deleted within 30 days. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
We use a combination of technical and organizational safeguards to protect your data. This includes encryption for data in transit, secure servers for storage, and strict access controls to ensure only authorized personnel can access sensitive information.
To enhance your learning experience, we may combine data you provide with publicly available resources or third-party educational tools. For example, if you enroll in a course that uses external simulations, we may integrate these tools seamlessly into the BrainLight platform.
BrainLight complies with all applicable data protection laws, such as the GDPR for users in Europe and the CCPA for users in California. This ensures your rights are upheld and your data is handled responsibly.
For users outside our primary region, we implement measures to comply with local regulations. This includes adjusting our data handling practices to align with regional laws and ensuring cross-border data transfers are secure and lawful.
BrainLight partners with selected third-party providers to enhance your experience, but we take care to ensure your data is protected and used responsibly.
Our partners include analytics providers, payment processors, and educational content creators. For example, we might work with an analytics service to understand how users interact with our platform or an external educator to provide specialized course material.
These providers may collect information such as your device type, browser, or interaction with specific features. For instance, an analytics provider might record how long users spend viewing video lessons to help us optimize content delivery.
Partner data helps us improve the platform and offer additional features. For example, payment processors ensure your transactions are secure, while content creators help expand our course offerings with high-quality material.
You can control how data is shared with third parties by adjusting your preferences in our settings. Additionally, many external providers offer opt-out mechanisms, which you can use to manage your privacy choices.
We implement strict contractual and technical measures to ensure your data is handled responsibly. This includes limiting the data shared with partners and requiring them to comply with our high standards for security and privacy.
