Collection of information
Information you provide
Corrections Learning Academy collects information from you when you choose to provide it to us. For example, we may collect your information when you submit an online form requesting information about one of our course offerings (“Course”), otherwise provide information to us through the Websites, or otherwise contact us.
The information we collect may include personal information – name, email address, telephone number, date of birth, prior employment background information, work experience, and the content of any communications that we exchange, as well as non-personal information. In some cases, we require your personal information to comply with a legal obligation.
Failure to provide personal information
Failure to provide certain information may make it difficult or impossible for you to access some services through the Websites (for example, to register for and complete Courses). You should ensure that personal information submitted to us is accurate and up-to-date. For example, we need a current email address to communicate with you about the Course in which you choose to enrol.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Information security
We are committed to protecting the security of your information.

The accuracy, safety, and security of your information also depend on you.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If you are enrolled in a Course, you may access and/or update your personal information through your user profile and if you have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
