Third Party Links
Occasionally, We may include or offer third party products or services on Our Platform. As such, Our Platform may contain links to websites owned and operated by third parties. These third-party websites may have their own separate and independent privacy policies, which may govern the collection and processing of your personal data. We urge you to review these privacy policies – because this Notice will not apply. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content, activities and privacy practices of such third-party websites.
Cookies Our Website uses cookies (small files containing a string of characters), which We place on your computer, if you agree. These cookies allow us to uniquely identify your browser and to distinguish you from other users of Our Website. This enables us to track your preferences and provide you with a personalized and smooth experience when you browse Our Website. The cookies We use are “analytical” cookies.
They allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the Website when they are using it.
This helps us to improve the way Our Website works, for example by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. We do not share the information the cookies collect with any third parties.

User Profiles

Every registered user has a unique personal profile. Each profile is assigned a unique personal identification number, which helps us ensure that only you can access your profile.
When you register, We create your profile, assign a personal identification number, (your User ID) then send this personal identification number back your email address with an activation link for the activation of your profile.
This code is uniquely yours. It is your passport to seamless travel across Our Platform, allowing you to use Our Platform without having to fill out registration forms with information you’ve already provided.
Even if you switch computers, you won’t have to re-register – just use your User ID to identify yourself.
Retention of Personal Information We will keep your personal information for as long as it is required and in accordance with the purpose it is being processed for, or for tax, accounting, regulatory, or legal purposes. We will keep the personal data for a period which enables us to handle or respond to any complaints, queries or concerns relating to Our relationship with you. Related to this, We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if We reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to Our relationship with you.
You may notify us whenever you no longer wish to hear from us and We will keep minimum information upon receipt of such notice to ensure that no future contact is made by us. We will actively review the personal information We hold and delete it securely, or in some cases anonymize it, when there is no longer a legal, business or user need for it to be retained.

Your Legal Rights
You have the right to:
• request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information We hold about you and check that We are lawfully processing it. Please note that a data subject access request may attract an administrative fee;
• request correction of the personal data that We hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data We hold about you corrected, though We may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us;
• request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where We may have processed your information unlawfully or where We are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note however, that We may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request;
• object to processing of your personal data where We are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where We are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, We may demonstrate that We have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms;
• request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where We used the information to perform a contract with you. Please note that this request may also attract an administrative fee;
• withdraw consent at any time where We are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, We may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Security

At Western Pinnacle University Network, we implement a variety of reasonable security measures to protect the security and integrity of your personal information.
To prevent unauthorized access to your information, We have implemented strong controls and security safeguards at the technical and operational levels. Our Platform uses Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) to ensure secure transmission of your personal data. You should see the padlock symbol in your URL address bar once you are successfully logged into the platform. The URL address will also start with https:// depicting a secure Webpage.
Please note that you also have a significant role in protecting your information. No one can see or edit your personal information without knowing your username and password, so do not share these with others. However, as the internet is not a secure medium, We cannot guarantee that security breaches will never occur. Accordingly, We are not responsible for the matters, which include actions of hackers and other unauthorized third parties that breach Our reasonable security procedure.
