Personal identification information
Our primary purpose in collecting information from or about you is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Depending on the manner in which you use our Services, we collect information about you that we deem necessary for providing Services and features that optimize, secure, and ease your user experience. We may collect personal identification information from Students in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Students enroll in the School or a Course within the School, subscribe to a newsletter, and in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available in our School. Students may visit the School anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from Students only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Students can refuse to supply personal identification information but doing so may prevent them from engaging in certain School related activities. For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. 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.

Data retention
We will save your PII until you erase or delete your account or otherwise exercise your right to erase your PII.
Access to Your Information and other rights
You are, at any time and free of charge, entitled to receive a copy of the PII that the School and Teachable.com holds about you and information about the processing thereof. Please note that The School and/or Teachable.com needs to be able to determine your identity in order to be able to respond to your request.
If you believe that any PII we are holding is incorrect or incomplete please send an email with your specific request to [email protected]. We will work with you to make any corrections deemed necessary. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
You have the right to request that the School and Teachable.com restricts the processing of your PII under certain conditions. For example, if you contest the accuracy of the PII, the processing may be restricted for a period enabling the School and/or Teachable.com to verify the accuracy of the PII or if the School and Teachable.com no longer needs the PII for the purposes of the processing but you require the PII for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
You have the right to have your PII deleted without undue delay and the School and Teachable.com is obliged to delete your PII without undue delay if, for example, the PII is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was collected or otherwise processed. Please note that the School and Teachable.com is not obliged to delete the PII if the School and Teachable.com can show that the processing is necessary, for example, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of a legal claim.
If you provide your email address to the School and/or Teachable.com, you will always have the opportunity to opt out of receiving email newsletters and promotions through the unsubscribe link in the email communications or by logging into and changing the preferences for your user account. We may send you other types of transactional and relationship e-mail communications, such as service announcements, administrative notices, and surveys, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them. Please note that changing information in your account, or otherwise opting out of receipt of promotional email communications will only affect future activities or communications from us. If we have already provided your information to a third party (such as a credit card processing partner) before you changed your preferences or updated your information, you may have to change your preferences directly with that third party.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the School and/or Teachable.com processing of your PII if the processing is based on, for example, legitimate interests. If you object to such processing, the School and/or Teachable.com will no longer be entitled to process your PII based on such legal basis, unless the School and Teachable.com can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which overrides your interests, rights, and freedom or if it is conducted for the establishment, exercise, or defense of a legal claim.
You have, under certain conditions, the right to receive the PII concerning you and which you have provided to the School and/or Teachable.com, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit such PII to another data controller without the School and/or Teachable.com trying to prevent this, where the School's and/or Teachable.com's processing of your PII is based on a contract or consent and the processing is carried out by automated means. In such case you have the right to request that the PII shall be transmitted from the School and/pr Teachable.com directly to another data controller, where technically feasible.
You also have the right to withdraw your consent, if applicable. If you withdraw your consent, please note that this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on your consent before its withdrawal and that the School and Teachable.com may, under certain circumstances, have another legal ground for the processing and therefore may be entitled to continue the processing.
