Last updated: 28Sep2023

Applicability

THIS PRIVACY POLICY IS APPLICABLE TO ALL MAINEX ACADEMY WEBSITES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MAINEXACAD.COM, MAINEXACADEMY.COM, AND MAINEX.COM.

Your Privacy Matters

We value your privacy, and this Privacy Policy governs your use of our Services. It outlines our practices concerning the collection, usage, protection, and disclosure of information that we receive from users of our Services.

Please Read Carefully

Please take the time to thoroughly read this Privacy Policy. By accessing and/or using our Services, you indicate your acceptance and agreement to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please refrain from accessing or using our Services. We may periodically amend this Privacy Policy, and in case of significant changes, we will provide appropriate notifications. Continued use of our Services after we publish or communicate any changes to this Privacy Policy signifies your acceptance of those changes. By accessing and/or using our Services, you accept and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy and our "Terms of Use," available at [Insert Terms of Use Link].

Information We Collect

When you use our Services, we collect the following types of information:

Information About You

We may gather automatic and anonymous information, such as your browser type and version, browser language, operating system, platform, and the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet. This information is categorized as "Non-Personal Information" because it does not personally identify you. Instead, it comprises statistical data used for analytical purposes and aids us in providing more relevant services to users. For instance, we may use this information to manage and troubleshoot service-related issues, such as site administration, or to analyze specific trends in site usage.

Automated Information Collection Tools

We employ automated information collection tools, including Cookies, Tracking Pixels, and Web Beacons, to capture various types of Non-Personal Information.

Our technology for gathering this information includes the use of cookies, which are small files stored on your computer's hard drive to recognize you when you visit a website. You have the option to decline cookies by adjusting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, please be aware that disabling or rejecting cookies may render certain parts of our sites inaccessible or non-functional. Unless you modify your browser settings to reject cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Sites. We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction, to better understand our customers and their needs.

Tracking Pixels

We may also collect anonymous information through the use of tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a webpage and, in combination with a cookie, allows for the collection of information regarding the use of the webpage that contains the tracking pixel. We use tracking pixels to tell when you have clicked on certain website features or otherwise interacted with those features, and use that information to learn about visitor use. In some cases, we use third-party service providers to help us collect and analyze this anonymous information.

Web Beacons

Web Beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Services for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Services, and to monitor how many visitors view our Services. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on the device, Web Beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages or in an email.

Information You Provide

We gather various kinds of information from our Services users. Although many Services features can be used anonymously, certain personally identifiable information may be required to access specific content or services. This information is known as "Personal Information" because it can identify you. It may encompass, but is not limited to, details like your name, email address, mailing address, and phone number. For instance, when you complete forms on our Services, you may be asked to provide Personal Information for contact or identification purposes. This includes information you submit when using our Services or seeking information about Mainex Academy's offerings. By filling out forms like the "Register Now" or "Contact" forms, you consent to sharing any provided Personal Information and data with us. When you submit Personal Information through our Services, you also agree to receive emails or relevant information from us.

Throughout this Privacy Policy, Personal Information and Non-Personal Information are collectively referred to as "Information."

In certain jurisdictions, such as the United States, an IP address may be considered Non-Personal Information. However, in the European Economic Area (EEA), for instance, an IP address is considered Personal Information under applicable data protection laws. If this is the case, we process Non-Personal Information for the same purposes as Personal Information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Geolocation Information

You have the option to grant the Site access to your location when prompted or through your device's location services settings. You can modify these settings on your device. When you connect to our Services, we can detect the IP address of the computer providing your internet access. This IP address may be used for diagnosing server issues or administering our Services. It may also be utilized to gather general demographic data. However, your IP address is never linked to your individual identity and is never shared with any other company or organization.

Third-Party Social Networking Service(s)

If you decide to use any third-party social networking service(s) integrated with our Services, we may receive your Personal Information and other details about you and your device, such as your computer or mobile device, that you have made available to those social networking services. This includes information about your contacts within those services. For example, some social networking services enable you to share content from our Services with your contacts or access information about your contacts to connect with them through our Services. Additionally, some social networking services may facilitate registration or enhance your experience on our Services. Your choice to use a social networking service in conjunction with our Services is voluntary. However, you should ensure your comfort with the information these third-party social networking services may provide by reviewing their privacy policies or adjusting your privacy settings directly on those networking sites or services.

Information from Third Parties

We may acquire Information, including Personal Information, from third parties and sources outside the Site, such as our partners or advertisers. If we combine or associate information from other sources with Personal Information collected through our Services, we will treat the combined Information as Personal Information in accordance with this Policy.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We may disclose Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy for the following purposes:

For Legitimate Interests

We do not trade or lease your Information to third parties. We utilize data collected through clickstream data collection, web pixels, and cookies for various purposes, including saving your preferences, enhancing website navigation, offering personalized features and services, generating statistical insights, monitoring and analyzing user traffic and usage patterns, preventing fraud, investigating complaints and potential policy violations, improving our content, and managing and enhancing the Site.

We may identify you through your Personal Information and merge or combine Personal Information and Non-Personal Information for lawful business objectives. When you provide registration information, cookies may also be employed to recognize you upon logging into the Site.
