2. What Data We Collect

We collect certain data from you directly, like the information you enter yourself, data about your participation in courses, and data from third-party platforms you connect with Great Learning. We also collect some data automatically, like information about your device and what parts of our Services you interact with or spend time using.

2.1 Data You Provide to Us
We may collect different data from or about you depending on how you use the Services. Below are some examples to help you better understand the data we collect.
When you create an account and/or use the Services, including through a third-party platform, we collect the following data:

Account and Related Data	In order to use certain features (like applying for a program), you need to create a user account. When you create or update your account, or provide your information via any other forms or means, we collect and store the data you provide, like your name, email address, password, city, age, guardian name, residential and contact details (if required), date of birth, program/courses you like to learn, IP address, educational qualification, work experience, salary, resume, gender, socio-economic status, industry where you work, job title, company name, photograph, signature, phone number, and assign you a unique identifying number (“Account Data”). If you are a registered user, we may also have access to your login credentials.
Profile Data	You can also choose to provide profile information like a photo, social media profile, or other data. Your Profile Data will be publicly viewable by others.
Other Identification Data	In order to provide our Services, we may request you to provide certain other identification details such as Social security, tax, Permanent Account Number, Aadhar Card number, or such similar identification details.
Shared Content	Parts of the Services let you interact with other users or share content publicly, including by sharing your e-portfolio, sharing your testimonial, sending messages to program managers, or posting photos or other work you upload. Such shared content may be publicly viewable by others depending on where it is posted.
Program Data	When you enroll into a program, we collect certain data including without limitation which program, courses, assignments and quizzes you’ve started and completed; your exchanges with instructors, teaching assistants, and other students; and essays, answers to questions, other items submitted to satisfy course requirements, web-cam recordings, posts made to public forums through our Services. To clarify, Great Learning, or its educational partners and third-party service providers may also collect certain information from you in conjunction with enrolment, admission, assignments, exams and other assessments related to the programs. For example, as part of a proctored exam for a course, Great Learning (or its third-party service providers) may collect certain personally identifiable data from you in order to (a) verify or authenticate your identity or submissions made by you, such as a signature for a test or an assignment log, a photograph or a recording of you (e.g., using a webcam) or information included on a photo identification card or document, or (b) monitor your performance during an exam to confirm that you are abiding by the applicable test rules or requirements (e.g., confirming that you are not using prohibited resources). Great Learning may also collect information from you or about your performance or your accomplishments, such as quiz/exam scores, grades, project evaluations, teacher evaluations and other evaluations of your performance or accomplishments.
Student Payment Data	If you make payments, we collect certain data about your payment (such as your name and email id) as necessary to process your payment. You must provide certain payment and billing data directly to our payment processing partners, including your name, credit card information, billing address, and zip code. For security, Great Learning does not collect or store sensitive cardholder data, such as full credit card numbers or card authentication data. However, in the case of scholarships, refunds or referrals, we may collect your bank account, payment gateway or e-wallet account related information.
Instructor and Moderator Payment Data	If you are an instructor or a Moderator, you should create an account with us where we collect your email address, phone number, social media profile, physical address, PAN, GSTIN, bank details or other data necessary for us to send payments to you. The collection, use, and disclosure of your payment and billing data is subject to the privacy policy and other terms of your payment account provider.
Data About Your Accounts on Other Services	We may obtain certain information through your social media or other online accounts if they are connected to your Great Learning account. If you log in to Great Learning via LinkedIn or another third-party platform or service, we ask for your permission to access certain information about that other account. For example, depending on the platform or service we may collect your name, educational details, professional details, account ID number, login email address, physical address etc. Those platforms and services make information available to us through their APIs. The information we receive depends on what information you (via your privacy settings) or the platform or service decide to give us. If you access or use our Services through a third-party platform or service, or click on any third-party links, the collection, use, and sharing of your data will also be subject to the privacy policies and other agreements of that third party.
Sweepstakes, Promotions, and Surveys	We may invite you to complete a survey or participate in a promotion (like a contest, sweepstakes, or challenge), either through the Services or a third-party platform. If you participate, we will collect and store the data you provide as part of participation, such as your name, email address, or phone number. That data is subject to this Privacy Policy unless otherwise stated in the official rules of the promotion or in another privacy policy. The data collected will be used to administer the promotion or survey, including for notifying winners and distributing rewards. To receive a reward, you may be required to allow us to post some of your information publicly (like on a winner’s page). Where we use a third-party platform to administer a survey or promotion, the third party’s privacy policy will apply.
Communications and Support	If you contact us for support or to report a problem or concern (regardless of whether you have created an account), we collect and store your contact information, messages, and other data about you like your name, email address, location, operating system, IP address, and any other data you provide or that we collect through automated means (which we cover below). We use this data to respond to you and research your question or concern, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In order to have a record of our communication with you and for internal training and quality maintenance purposes, we may also record your calls with us.
Third Parties	We are also working closely with third parties (including, for example, educational partners, scholarship providers, marketing partners, sales affiliates, subcontractors in technical/advertising networks, analytics providers, and search information providers) and may receive information about you from such sources. We may also receive your information from your employers, educational institution or scholarship providers, where your program is partly or fully sponsored by such a third-party. The third-party sponsoring your participation in the programs may provide us your information, subject to our agreement with them and, therefore, the third-party sponsor may be the controller with respect to such data. In cases where you have been referred under any referral scheme, we will receive your information from the referrer.
Behavioural Data	Data inferred or assumed information relating to your behaviour and interests based on your online activity on our sites, which may be derived from the Usage Data (mentioned below).

3. How We Get Data About You

We use tools like cookies, web beacons, analytics services, and advertising providers to gather the data listed above. Some of these tools offer you the ability to opt out of data collection.

3.1 Cookies and Data Collection Tools
As detailed in our Cookie Policy, Great Learning and service providers acting on our behalf (like Google Analytics and third-party advertisers) use server log files and automated data collection tools like cookies, tags, scripts, customized links, device or browser fingerprints, and web beacons (together, “Data Collection Tools”) when you access and use the Services. These Data Collection Tools automatically track and collect certain System Data and Usage Data (as detailed in Section 2.2) when you use the Services. In some cases, we tie data gathered through those Data Collection Tools to other data that we collect as described in this Privacy Policy.

We use cookies (small files that websites send to your device to uniquely identify your browser or device or to store data in your browser) for things like analyzing your use of the Services, personalizing your experience, making it easier to log into the Services, and recognizing you when you return. We use web beacons (small objects that allow us to measure the actions of visitors and users using the Services) for things like identifying whether a page was visited, identifying whether an email was opened, and advertising more efficiently by excluding current users from certain promotional messages or identifying the source of a new page visit.

Great Learning uses the following types of cookies:

• Preferences: cookies that remember data about your browser and preferred settings that affect the appearance and behavior of the Services (like your preferred language).
• Security: cookies used to enable you to log in and access the Services; protect against fraudulent logins; and help detect and prevent abuse or unauthorized use of your account.
• Functional: cookies that store functional settings (like the volume level you set for video playback).
• Session State: cookies that track your interactions with the Services to help us improve the Services and your browsing experience, remember your login details, and enable processing of your course purchases. These are strictly necessary for the Services to work properly, so if you disable them then certain functionalities will break or be unavailable.

You can set your web browser to alert you about attempts to place cookies on your computer, limit the types of cookies you allow, or refuse cookies altogether. If you do, you may not be able to use some or all features of the Services, and your experience may be different or less functional.

Some of the third-party partners who provide certain features on our site may also use Local Storage Objects (also known as flash cookies or LSOs) to collect and store data.

3.2 Analytics
We use the 3rd-party browser and mobile analytics services like Google Analytics, Hotjar, GetSiteControl, Mixpanel, WebEngage, Wistia, YouTube and Drift on the Services. These services use Data Collection Tools to help us analyze your use of the Services, including information like the third-party website you arrive from, how often you visit, events within the Services, usage and performance data. We use this data to improve the Services, better understand how the Services perform on different devices and provide information that may be of interest to you.

3.3 Online Advertising
We use third-party advertising services like Facebook, Google’s ad services, and other ad networks and ad servers to deliver advertising about our Services on other websites and applications you use. The ads may be based on things we know about you, like your Usage Data and System Data (as detailed in Section 2.2), and things that these ad service providers know about you based on their tracking data. The ads can be based on your recent activity or activity over time and across other sites and services and may be tailored to your interests.

Depending on the types of advertising services we use, they may place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, phone, or other devices to collect data about your use of our Services, and may access those tracking technologies in order to serve these tailored advertisements to you. To help deliver tailored advertising, we may provide the service providers with your email address and content that you share publicly on the Services. Additionally, we have third-party sales and marketing affiliates who may collect your information through one of the various channels owned by them and share this information with us, based on your interest in our Services. For example, an affiliate may hold an event and share the details of the attendees with Great Learning. Please note that any third parties, including third parties mentioned in Section 2, are not permitted by Great Learning to sell or share your data as part of this process.

6. Security

We use appropriate security based on the type and sensitivity of data being stored. As with any internet-enabled system, there is always a risk of unauthorized access, so it’s important to protect your password and to contact us if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.

These measures vary based on the type and sensitivity of the data. Unfortunately, however, no system can be 100% secured, so we cannot guarantee that communications between you and Great Learning, the Services, or any information provided to us in connection with the data we collect through the Services will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. Your password is an important part of our security system, and it is your responsibility to protect it. You should not share your password with any third party, and if you believe your password or account has been compromised, you should change it immediately.

7.5 Our Policy Concerning Children
We recognize the privacy interests of children and encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests.

If we learn that we’ve collected personal data from a child under those ages without verified parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. Parents or guardians who believe that Great Learning may have collected personal data from a child under those ages can submit a request that it be removed to legal@greatlearning.in

All users who are minors in the jurisdiction in which they reside (generally under the age of 18) may not set up an account and have a parent or a guardian open an account for them, and must have the permission of, and be directly supervised by, their parent or guardian to use the Services. Additionally, this privacy policy should also be read in the presence of such parent/guardian.
