Last Modified on Mar 9th, 2020

Welcome to LifeLearn Inc. (“LifeLearn”, “we”, “us” and “our” as context dictates). We are committed to preserving the privacy of all individuals, including you (“you” or “your” as the context dictates), who utilize our website and any of its subdomains (including lifelearn.com, lifelearn-cliented.com, sofie.lifelearn.com and lifelearn-ce.com) (our “Website”) to avail communication, collection, payment, content accessing and sharing and other features and benefits (the “Services”). Accordingly, this privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) is designed to help you understand how your personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) is collected, used, stored and disclosed when you engage with us and access the Services.

Before registering, submitting any content or Personal Information, or otherwise engaging with us on our Website, please make sure that you read and understand this Privacy Policy as well as our Terms of Use (together with such other documents, our “Terms”). https://www.lifelearn.com/terms-of-use/

This Privacy Policy applies to the Personal Information you provide us when using the Services or submitting information to us. In the course of engaging with us, we may also use a third party’s intellectual property, tool or resources (e.g., for payment processing such as Moneris) and such third party’s privacy policy may also apply to you. We encourage you to read and review each privacy policy that applies to you as our Privacy Policy terms may differ from the terms contained in third parties’ privacy policies. Notwithstanding any other sections of this Privacy Policy, LifeLearn shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss suffered by you which is caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with third parties’ privacy policies.

You are under no obligation to provide Personal Information, with the caveat that your refusal to do so may prevent you from using certain portions of the Services. LifeLearn does not collect, use, store or disclose Personal Information without your consent, except as required by law or as set out below.

If you have any objections to the terms in this Privacy Policy, you should not use the Services or provide us with any of your Personal Information, as by providing your Personal Information to us, you will be deemed to have consented to the processing of such data. If you have any hesitations or are unsure about any of the terms contained herein, we invite you to connect with us at the contact details provided below.

 

PART A – COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our collection of Personal Information is limited to that which is reasonable under the circumstances, and we only collect your Personal Information with your consent pursuant to our Terms.

  1. Information You Provide
  • Identity Data. We collect the Personal Information that you provide to us, which may include, but is not limited to: (i) basic Personal Information, including your first and last name, date of birth, contact information such as address and telephone number, payment information; (ii) information about your use of the Services; and (iii) analytical information, including, but not limited to, your login data, browser type and version, time zone settling and location, browser plug-in and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access our Website.
  • Account information. When you use the Services as a registered user, you need to create an account with us. In order to create a registered user account, you will need to provide us with login credentials (which include your email address and password), your name, and certain other information.
  • Communication. You can post comments, leave feedback, correspond with a person on and through our Website. Content, including such comments, feedback, and notes you choose to post through our Website may be occasionally available to the public. You may also contact us via a contact form, email, or by other means (for example, with questions about the Services, for customer support, or to let us know your ideas for new products or modifications to existing products). When you do so, we collect the information you choose to provide us, such as your contact details, any images you choose to upload and the contents and nature of your message. Any information that is disclosed in any publicly visible areas becomes public information for both us and other users to use and share.
  • Information about Others. You may decide to provide us third party information, such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers of persons who you would like to utilize the Services (collectively, “Third-Party Data”).

If you use any feature of the Services that allows you to communicate with third parties (such as to refer a third party to the Services or to communicate with them for certain other purposes), either by submitting Third-Party Data to us or otherwise permitting our systems to automatically access Third-Party Data in your possession, you acknowledge and agree that you have the authority of the relevant third party for us to access and use the relevant Third-Party Data and that you have notified these third parties and informed them how their information is collected and used by LifeLearn to provide the Services.

We use Third-Party Data to (i) contact such third party using the Third-Party Data provided, and/or (ii) provide you with an editable template message designed to facilitate communication between you and such third party through the Services. In addition to sending the foregoing communications, we may also send reminders or related messages to you and to third parties on your behalf from time to time where permitted by applicable law. In each case, any such communications sent to third parties using Third-Party Data will provide a means to “opt out” of receiving further communication of the same nature.

When you use our Website, we collect certain information by automated means (“Automatic Information”), such as through server log files, cookies (described further below), web beacons (also known as clear GIFs and pixel tags, which may be used to transmit information back to our Website), and embedded scripts (programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with our Website, such as the links you click on). Automatic Information will not be published or made public through the Services.

Our Website and Services are not intended for use by persons under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or use any Personal Information from any persons under 13 years of age. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 13, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete such Personal Information from our database.

 

PART E – TRANSFERS AND DISCLOSURES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Other than as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose Personal Information to any external organization without your consent unless we are required or permitted to do so by law, including in the event of a corporate amalgamation, reorganization, change of control or sale.

Your Personal Information may be stored, processed or otherwise used by us, our affiliates, our partners or our service providers, both inside and outside of Canada. As a result, that country’s courts, governments or law enforcement agencies could obtain disclosure of your information in accordance with that country’s laws. Whenever we use other organizations to provide support services, they will be required to implement proper security measures to safeguard Personal Information, comply with the same obligations as those required of LifeLearn and to allow us to audit them for compliance.

We conduct audits and monitor compliance with our privacy practices.

We only retain Personal Information for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. When we no longer are required to retain the information, we will destroy, erase, or de-identify the information. Legal requirements, however, may require us to retain some or all of the Personal Information we hold for a period of time that is longer than that for which we might otherwise hold.

 

PART G – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time as we add new products and services, as we improve our current offerings, and as technologies change.
