diaLearn’s commitment to Data Privacy Protection

Protecting the security and privacy of your personal data is very important to diaLearn. For this reason, we run diaLearn in compliance with Germany's laws on data privacy protection and data security. We hope the policy outlined below will help you understand what data diaLearn may collect and how it uses and safeguards that data.

Personal data

diaLearn will not collect any personal data about you (e.g. your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address), unless you explicitly choose to provide us with it (e.g. by registration, survey), or provide your consent, or unless otherwise permitted by applicable laws and regulations for the protection of your personal data.

Purpose of use

When you provide us with personal data, we use it to achieve the objectives described in our mission statement and in particular to draw your attention and give you access to new information available in diaLearn. In order to support our relationship with you:

• we may store and process personal data to better understand your knowledge and learning needs and how we can improve diaLearn’s services; or
• we may use personal data to contact you about a diaLearn offer in support of your knowledge and learning needs or to conduct online surveys to understand your needs better.

If you choose not to have your personal data used to support diaLearn’s relationship with you in the way described, we will respect your choice. We do not sell or otherwise market your personal data to third parties.

Purpose limitation

diaLearn will collect, use or disclose personal data supplied by you online only for the purposes made known to you, unless the disclosure:

• is a use of the personal data for any additional purpose that is directly related to the original purpose for which the personal data was collected,
• is necessary to prepare, negotiate and perform a contract with you,
• is required by law,
• is necessary to establish or preserve legal claim or defence,
• is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activities, such as wilful attacks on diaLearn's information technology systems.

Communication or utilization data

Through your use of telecommunication services to access diaLearn, your communication data (e.g. IP address) or utilization data (e.g. information on the beginning, end and extent of each access, and information on the telecommunication services you accessed) are technically generated and could conceivably relate to personal data. To the extent that there is a compelling necessity, the collection, processing and use of your communication or utilization data will occur and will be performed in accordance with the applicable data privacy protection legal framework.

Non-personal data collected automatically

When you access diaLearn, we may automatically (i.e. not by registration) collect non-personal data (e.g. type of Internet browser and operating system used, domain name of the website from which you accessed our site, number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc.). We may use this data to monitor the attractiveness of diaLearn and improve its performance or content.

Cookies

When you access diaLearn, we may store some data on your computer in the form of a cookie to recognize automatically your PC next time you visit. Cookies can help us in many ways, for example, by allowing us to tailor diaLearn to your needs and interests or to store your password to save you having to re-enter it each time. If you do not wish to receive cookies, please configure your Internet browser to erase all cookies from your computer's hard drive, block all cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

Children

diaLearn will not knowingly collect personal data from children without insisting that they seek prior parental consent if required by law. We will only use or disclose personal data about a child to the extent permitted by law, to seek parental consent pursuant to local law and regulations or to protect a child. The definition of "child" or "children" should take into account applicable laws as well as national and regional cultural customs.

Security

To protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration and against unauthorized disclosure or access, diaLearn uses technical and organizational security measures.

The diaLearn web site contains links to other websites. diaLearn is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of other websites.

Questions and comments

diaLearn will respond to reasonable requests to review your personal data and to correct, amend or delete any inaccuracies. If you have any questions or comments about this Data Privacy Protection Policy (e.g. to review and update your personal data), please get in touch with us. As the Internet matures and legal requirements change, so will our Data Privacy Protection Policy. We will post changes to our Data Privacy Protection Policy here.
