How we protect and handle your personal information

Last updated: March 15, 2025

Introduction and Scope

At Zyntraxeu, we take your privacy seriously. This comprehensive privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you interact with our video editing learning platform at zyntraxeu.com. We believe transparency is essential, which is why we've made this policy as clear and detailed as possible.

This policy applies to all users of our platform, whether you're browsing our content, enrolled in our courses, or simply visiting our website. By using our services, you agree to the practices described in this policy. We encourage you to read through each section carefully – your privacy matters to us, and we want you to understand exactly how we handle your data.

We operate under UK data protection laws and follow industry best practices to keep your information secure

Information We Collect

We collect different types of information to provide you with the best possible learning experience. Here's what we gather and why:

Personal Information You Provide

  • Name and email address when you create an account or contact us
  • Payment information when you enroll in paid courses (processed securely through third-party providers)
  • Profile information you choose to share, including your learning goals and experience level
  • Communications you send us, including support requests and feedback
  • Survey responses and course evaluations you voluntarily complete

Automatically Collected Information

  • Device information including browser type, operating system, and screen resolution
  • Usage data such as pages visited, time spent on lessons, and course progress
  • IP address and general location information for security and analytics purposes
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience
  • Performance data to help us optimize our platform and content delivery

We only collect information that's necessary to provide our services effectively. For instance, tracking your course progress helps us recommend relevant content and ensures you can pick up where you left off. We never collect sensitive personal information unless specifically required for our services.

How We Use Your Information

Your information helps us create a personalized and effective learning environment. We use the data we collect in several important ways:

Core Platform Functions

  • Delivering course content and tracking your learning progress
  • Personalizing your dashboard and recommending relevant lessons
  • Processing payments and managing your subscription or course access
  • Providing customer support and responding to your inquiries
  • Sending important updates about your courses or account

Platform Improvement and Analytics

  • Analyzing usage patterns to improve our course content and platform functionality
  • Identifying technical issues and optimizing performance across different devices
  • Understanding which learning materials are most effective for our users
  • Developing new features and courses based on user behavior and feedback
  • Ensuring platform security and preventing fraudulent activities

We also use aggregated, anonymized data to understand broader trends in video editing education. This helps us stay current with industry needs and create content that's truly valuable. Rest assured, we never use your personal information for purposes you haven't consented to.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We're committed to keeping your personal information private. We don't sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties for marketing purposes. However, there are specific circumstances where we may share information:

Trusted Service Providers

  • Payment processors who handle transactions securely and in compliance with financial regulations
  • Email service providers for sending course updates and important communications
  • Cloud hosting services that store our platform data with enterprise-grade security
  • Analytics services that help us understand platform usage (data is anonymized)
  • Customer support tools that help us respond to your inquiries effectively

All our service providers are carefully vetted and bound by strict confidentiality agreements. They can only use your information for the specific services they provide to us, never for their own purposes. We also ensure they meet our high standards for data protection and security.

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or in the event of a business transfer

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your information is one of our top priorities. We've implemented comprehensive security measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Technical Security Measures

  • SSL encryption for all data transmission between your device and our servers
  • Secure data centers with 24/7 monitoring and access controls
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
  • Encrypted database storage for all sensitive personal information
  • Multi-factor authentication for administrative access to our systems
  • Regular backups stored in geographically separate, secure locations

Organizational Security Practices

  • Employee training on data privacy and security best practices
  • Limited access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
  • Regular review and updating of our privacy and security policies
  • Incident response procedures for any potential security breaches
  • Compliance monitoring to ensure we meet all applicable regulations

While we implement industry-leading security measures, no system is completely immune to threats. We continuously monitor for potential vulnerabilities and update our security practices accordingly. If we ever detect a security incident that could affect your personal information, we'll notify you promptly and take immediate action to resolve the issue.

Your Rights and Choices

You have significant control over your personal information. Under UK data protection laws, you have several important rights regarding how we handle your data:

Access and Control Rights

  • Access: Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you
  • Correction: Update or correct any inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal requirements)
  • Portability: Receive your data in a commonly used, machine-readable format
  • Restriction: Limit how we process your information in certain circumstances
  • Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for marketing purposes

To exercise any of these rights, simply contact us using the information provided at the end of this policy. We'll respond to your request within 30 days and guide you through the process. Most account information can be updated directly through your profile settings, giving you immediate control over your data.

Communication Preferences

  • Opt out of marketing emails while still receiving important course updates
  • Choose which types of notifications you'd like to receive
  • Adjust frequency of progress reports and learning reminders
  • Unsubscribe from all non-essential communications at any time

Data Retention and International Transfers

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Here's how we determine retention periods:

Retention Periods

  • Active account data: Retained while your account remains active
  • Course progress: Kept for 3 years after course completion to support certificates
  • Financial records: Maintained for 7 years as required by UK tax and accounting laws
  • Support communications: Stored for 2 years to help resolve ongoing issues
  • Marketing data: Deleted within 30 days of unsubscribing from communications

When we delete your information, we ensure it's completely removed from our active systems and backups within a reasonable timeframe. Some information may persist in our logs for security purposes, but this data is anonymized and cannot be linked back to you.

Our primary data processing occurs within the UK and European Union. However, some of our trusted service providers may process data in other countries with adequate data protection standards. When international transfers are necessary, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through standard contractual clauses or other approved mechanisms.
