This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information for visitors to this training site. We are committed to respecting user privacy and providing transparent information about data practices. This policy applies to information collected through the website and any related learning resources made available here.
We collect only the information necessary to operate and improve the training resources. Typical data categories include:
Usage data: aggregated, anonymized metrics about site visits, page views, and download counts to understand which materials are most useful.
Submitted materials: if you choose to submit log files or project work for workshop review, those files will be handled according to the guidelines provided during submission. Avoid sending sensitive or personally identifiable information unless explicitly requested with clear instructions and consent.
Contact information: if you submit an inquiry or sign up for notifications, we collect the contact details you provide (name and email) to respond to your request.
Collected information is used to operate the site, deliver training materials, respond to inquiries, and improve content. Usage data helps prioritize updates to modules and lab datasets. Submitted project materials are used only for the purpose described at submission time and are retained for the period required to provide feedback or certification assessments.
We use cookies and similar technologies to improve user experience and gather anonymous analytics. Cookies may be used to remember user preferences and calculate aggregate usage statistics. You can configure your browser to block or clear cookies, although some features of the site may not function correctly without them.
We may use third-party analytics and hosting services to operate the site. These services may collect aggregated, anonymized usage data. Examples include analytics platforms and content hosting providers. We evaluate third-party partners for privacy and security practices and limit the data shared to what is necessary for service delivery.
Usage data is retained for an aggregated analysis period to inform improvements. Contact submissions and any files provided for workshop review are retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the requested service or provide certification feedback. If you request deletion of your contact information or submitted materials, we will remove them from active systems and inform you about any retained backups according to our retention schedule.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access or disclosure. While we strive to protect data, no system can guarantee absolute security. If a security issue arises, we will follow responsible disclosure practices and notify affected parties according to applicable laws.
The site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided personal information without parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in practices or legal requirements. Significant changes will be announced on the site. Continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have questions or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, contact the site administrator through the contact channels provided on the About page. We will respond to requests in a timely manner and provide options for data access or deletion where applicable.
