Information Sharing and Disclosure

FlashSmartConnect maintains strict policies regarding when and how we share your personal information. We believe in transparency about our data sharing practices and want you to understand exactly who has access to your information.

We may share your personal data with carefully selected third-party service providers who help us deliver our educational services. These include cloud hosting providers for our learning management system, email service providers for course communications, and analytics tools that help us understand how students interact with our content.

In certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your information to comply with legal obligations, such as responding to valid court orders or government requests made under Philippine law. We will always notify you of such requests unless legally prohibited from doing so.

If FlashSmartConnect undergoes a business transition, such as a merger or acquisition, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your data is transferred and becomes subject to different privacy practices.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your personal information is one of our highest priorities. We implement multiple layers of security to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.

Our platform uses industry-standard encryption protocols to protect data transmission between your device and our servers. All sensitive information is encrypted both in transit and at rest using advanced cryptographic methods that meet international security standards.

Access to your personal data is strictly limited to authorized personnel who need this information to provide educational services or technical support. Our team members undergo regular security training and sign confidentiality agreements to ensure your information remains protected.

We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential security risks. Our systems are monitored continuously for unusual activity, and we have incident response procedures in place to quickly address any security concerns.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Philippine data protection laws, you have several important rights regarding your personal information. We respect these rights and provide clear procedures for exercising them.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this policy. We will respond to your request within 30 days and may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Different types of information are kept for different periods based on their purpose and legal requirements.

Account information and course progress data are typically retained for the duration of your active participation in our educational programs plus an additional three years. This allows us to provide ongoing support and maintain records of your educational achievements.

Technical logs and analytics data are usually retained for 12 months to help us improve platform performance and security. Marketing communication preferences are kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion of your data.

When we no longer need your personal information, we securely delete it using industry-standard data destruction methods. This includes both digital deletion and physical destruction of any backup media containing your information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

FlashSmartConnect uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your learning experience and gather insights about platform usage. These small data files help us remember your preferences and provide personalized content.

Essential cookies are necessary for basic platform functionality, such as maintaining your login session and remembering your course progress. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting the platform's core educational features.

Analytics cookies help us understand how students interact with our educational content, which lessons are most effective, and where we can improve the learning experience. You can opt out of these cookies through your browser settings without affecting your ability to access course materials.

We do not use cookies for advertising purposes or share cookie data with third-party advertising networks. Our tracking is focused solely on improving educational outcomes and platform performance.

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers may be located outside the Philippines, which means your personal data might be transferred to and processed in other countries. We ensure that any international transfers comply with Philippine data protection laws and provide adequate protection for your information.

When we transfer data internationally, we use legal mechanisms such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other approved transfer methods to ensure your data receives the same level of protection it would have in the Philippines.

We carefully evaluate the data protection laws and practices of any country where your data might be processed to ensure they meet our security standards and legal requirements.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through email or a prominent notice on our platform.

Minor updates, such as clarifications or contact information changes, will be posted on our website with an updated "last modified" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.

Your continued use of our platform after any changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated privacy policy. If you disagree with any changes, you may close your account and stop using our services.
