Privacy & Security
Privacy Policy
Our commitment to protecting your personal data while you advance your education and career.
Welcome to the Thomson Learning Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal information when you use our educational platforms and skill development services, effective as of October 2023.
Information We Collect
When you create a student account, enroll in our coding bootcamps, or subscribe to our professional development newsletters, Thomson Learning collects information such as your name, email address, educational background, and payment details. We also gather data on your coursework progress, quiz submissions, and interactions with our digital learning platforms.
How We Use It
We use your data to deliver tailored educational content, track your certification progress, and provide career coaching services. Thomson Learning relies on this information to evaluate academic performance, issue credentials, and improve our teaching methodologies and curriculum offerings.
Cookies and Analytics
To enhance your digital learning experience, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. These tools help us analyze visitor traffic to our course catalogs, understand which educational resources are most popular, and remember your platform preferences for future study sessions.
Third-Party Services
Thomson Learning integrates with various third-party applications to support your learning journey, including video conferencing tools for live tutoring and cloud-based assessment platforms. These partners have their own data practices, and we encourage you to review their privacy statements when utilizing integrated learning tools.
How We Share Information
We may share your information with trusted partners who assist us in operating our educational platforms, processing secure payments, or providing specialized vocational training. Thomson Learning will not sell your personal data to external marketers or unauthorized third parties.
How Long We Keep It
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to maintain your academic records, verify your certifications, and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Once your data is no longer required for educational administration or legal compliance, we securely delete or anonymize it.
Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of your personal data stored within the Thomson Learning system. You may also update your communication preferences or opt out of marketing emails regarding new degree programs and corporate training opportunities at any time through your account settings.
Children's Privacy
While we offer resources for early childhood education and homeschooling curriculums, our direct digital platforms are designed for adult learners, educators, and parents. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of thirteen without verified parental consent.
Changes to This Policy
As our educational technologies and program offerings evolve, we may update this privacy policy to reflect new data practices. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the revised version on our website and updating the effective date.
