When you use our website, or apply for our services, you trust us with your information. There are many ways this information can help us to make our service better, for instance, we can remember your details so it’s easier for you to use the service/website.

But we respect your privacy and we value the trust you’ve placed in us by sharing your information. This privacy policy sets out the way we use your information arising from your use of our websites and our apps or purchase or use of our products and/or services, as well as registering an account with us: including what we collect, how we collect it, how we use it, why we use it, who we share it with and the rights to which you may be entitled.

We have tried to keep this document as clear and direct as possible, however there are contact details at the end of this policy if you have any questions or anything is unclear.

We may also collect information about you from other sources, such as orders placed by you or from third-party mailing lists. Our partners who obtain this information will have informed you, at the point of collection, that they are collecting the information (in part) for us and that the information will be provided to us. Any of your personal information we collect from other sources will be stored and used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We maintain your information securely in our customer database and will only store it for a reasonable period of time, which if you have an account with us will be duration of your subscription to our service and for six years thereafter.

Use of Information

This information is used:

  • to provide the service or product requested;
  • to enable billing and shipping;
  • to personalize our service;
  • to analyze and report on your and other students’ performance;
  • to provide you with information about related products and services, based on the preferences you have indicated;
  • to improve our website;
  • for the development of new products and services; and
  • for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes.

If you have inquired about, applied for, or enrolled in an P2P course or scholarship program, we may occasionally update you on our latest policies, products/services, news and special offers via e-mail. At the bottom of any electronic communication you receive from us or one of our group companies, you will have an option to unsubscribe and opt-out of receiving further marketing communications.

Your information may be shared with some third-parties with whom we work. Please note:

  1. We will not share your credit card number with parties outside of our group of companies, or the payment processor.
  2. Basic demographic data including name, address, phone, email, company, title, school, graduation data, course for which you are registered, and related information may be disclosed to marketing partners (including but not limited to Google ‘Adwords’, Facebook ‘Ads’ and LinkedIn ‘Insights’ and BARBRI Law Preview). You can prohibit this using the steps set out in the “How to prohibit sharing to our marketing partners” section.
  3. Information concerning your usage of our site and your progress with our programming/materials may be disclosed to third parties such as educational institutions, professors, and product development partners. If your company, law firm or school has sponsored your attendance or certification, we will also share progress (started, in progress, completed) course data, and successful certification outcomes.

Our marketing partners and other third-parties who we may share your information with will be required to meet our standards on processing information and security. The information we provide them, including your information, will only be provided in connection with the performance of their function.

Your personal information may be transferred to other third party organizations in certain scenarios:

  • if we’re discussing selling or transferring part or all of our business – the information may be transferred to prospective purchasers under suitable terms as to confidentiality;
  • if we are reorganized or sold, information may be transferred to a buyer who can continue to provide services to you;
  • if we’re required to by law, or under any regulatory code or practice we follow, or if we are asked by any public or regulatory authority – for example the Police; or
  • if we are defending a legal claim your information may be transferred as required in connection with defending such claim.

Your personal information may be shared if it is made anonymous and aggregated, as in such circumstances the information will cease to be personal data.

Why we use your information

We use the information we collect about you in the manner set out above either because it is necessary to perform the contract between us (providing the products or services ordered from us or opening and maintaining your account with us) or because we have a legitimate business interest. Our legitimate business interests include but are not limited to:

  • ensuring we continue to improve our service and better understand our users and customers and how you use our website, our apps and our products and services;
  • ensuring we can communicate with you and you can easily communicate with us and amend your preferences from time-to-time; and
  • ensuring we develop and maintain strong relationships with our suppliers and partners.

Our marketing partners use your information because they believe they have legitimate business interests to do so as they think you would be interested in hearing from them about similar products and services to those we provide. If you wish to prohibit us sharing your personal information to our marketing partners, please follow the process set out in the “How to prohibit sharing to our marketing partners” section below.

The employer, educational institutions, professors, and product development partners to which we may share your information also use your information on the basis that they have legitimate interests as they process your data to analyze and improve team cohesion, reduce errors, speed onboarding and other improvements, and for the development of new products and services.

Google Analytics

Our websites and apps use the web analytics service Google Analytics that is provided by Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer which allow analyzing how you use the platform. The information generated by the cookie on your use of the platform will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. We have activated the so called “IP-anonymization” which means that your IP address will be truncated within the area of the European Union or the European Economic Area before being transferred to the United States. Only in exceptional cases the entire (ie. non-truncated) IP address will be transferred to a Google server in the US and truncated there. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the platform, compiling reports on platform activity and providing other services relating to platform and internet usage. Google does not provide us with data that we may link back particularly to you. Your truncated IP address that is transferred to Google will not be associated with any other data held by Google. You may refuse accepting cookies by selecting the relevant settings of your browser. However, please note that if you do so you may not be able to use the full functionality of the platform. You can also opt out from being tracked via Google Analytics with effect for the future by downloading and installing Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

However, if you want to refuse or delete any cookies (or similar technologies), please refer to the help and support area on your internet browser for instructions on how to block or delete cookies (for example: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Safari).
