Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
At Qylextarian, we believe your privacy matters. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our investment analysis education platform. We're committed to transparency and giving you control over your data under Canadian privacy laws, including PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act).
Information We Collect
When you interact with Qylextarian, we collect several types of information to provide you with our educational services and improve your learning experience.
Personal Information You Provide
You directly share information when you create an account, enroll in programs, or contact us. This includes your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. Sometimes you'll share payment information when purchasing courses or materials, though we process this through secure third-party payment processors.
When you participate in discussions, complete assignments, or interact with course materials, we collect that content too. It helps us understand your progress and tailor our educational approach.
Automatically Collected Data
Our systems automatically gather technical information about how you use our platform. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and operating system. We track which pages you visit, how long you spend on different sections, and what features you use most.
Cookies and similar technologies help us remember your preferences and keep you logged in. You can manage cookie settings through your browser, but some features may not work properly if you disable them.
| Data Type | Collection Method | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Contact Information | Registration forms, profile updates | Account management, communication |
| Learning Progress | Course interactions, assessments | Track progress, provide feedback |
| Technical Data | Automatic collection via cookies | Platform optimization, security |
| Payment Information | Checkout process | Process transactions, maintain records |
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to run our educational platform and serve you better. Every piece of data has a specific purpose, and we don't use it for things you haven't agreed to.
- Delivering course content and tracking your progress through our investment analysis programs
- Communicating about your account, upcoming courses, and platform updates
- Processing payments and maintaining transaction records for accounting purposes
- Improving our educational content based on how students interact with materials
- Providing technical support and responding to your questions
- Preventing fraud, protecting security, and ensuring platform stability
- Sending occasional emails about new courses or features you might find useful
- Analyzing usage patterns to make our platform easier to navigate
Marketing Communications: We'll send you educational updates and course announcements. You can opt out anytime by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails or adjusting your account preferences. But we'll still send you essential messages about your account or courses you're enrolled in.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We don't sell your personal information. Period. But we do share data with specific partners who help us run our platform and deliver our services.
Service Providers
We work with companies that handle specific functions like payment processing, email delivery, cloud hosting, and customer support tools. These providers only access the information they need to do their job, and they're required to protect it under strict contracts.
Legal Requirements
Sometimes we're legally required to share information with government authorities or law enforcement. This happens when we receive valid legal requests, need to protect our rights, or have to enforce our terms of service. We only share what's legally required and nothing more.
Business Transfers
If Qylextarian merges with another company or sells assets, your information might be transferred as part of that transaction. You'd be notified beforehand, and the new owner would have to honor this privacy policy.
Educational Partners: We occasionally work with guest instructors or educational institutions. When relevant to your learning experience, we may share limited information like your course enrollment status or progress. You'll always know when this happens.
Your Privacy Rights Under Canadian Law
Canadian privacy law gives you significant control over your personal information. Here's what you can do and how to exercise these rights.
Access Your Data
You can request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide it in a readable format within 30 days of your request.
Correct Information
Found something wrong in your profile? You can update most information directly through your account settings or ask us to correct it.
Delete Your Account
You can request deletion of your account and associated data. We'll remove it within 30 days, though some information must be retained for legal compliance.
Withdraw Consent
You can withdraw consent for certain data processing activities. This might affect which services we can provide, but we'll explain the consequences.
Data Portability
Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format that you can transfer to another service provider if you choose.
Object to Processing
You can object to how we process your data for specific purposes like marketing. We'll honor your request unless we have compelling legal grounds.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at help@qylextarian.info or write to us at 27 Canadian Oaks Dr, Whitby, ON L1N 6X4, Canada. We'll verify your identity and respond within 30 days. There's no charge for reasonable requests, but we may charge a fee for excessive or repetitive inquiries.
Data Security Measures
We take protecting your information seriously. Our security practices combine technical safeguards, organizational policies, and regular audits to keep your data safe.
Technical Protections
- All data transmissions use TLS encryption to prevent interception
- Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms
- Regular security patches and system updates across all infrastructure
- Firewall protection and intrusion detection systems monitor threats
- Automated backups with encrypted storage in secure Canadian data centers
- Access controls limit who can view or modify your information
Our team receives regular security training, and we conduct annual security audits. We test our systems for vulnerabilities and have an incident response plan ready if something goes wrong.
Despite our best efforts, no system is completely secure. If we detect a breach that affects your information, we'll notify you and relevant authorities as required by Canadian law, typically within 72 hours of discovering the incident.
Data Retention and Deletion
We don't keep your information forever. How long we retain data depends on why we collected it and what legal requirements apply.
Active Accounts
While your account is active, we keep the information needed to provide our services. This includes your profile, course progress, and communication history. You can update or delete most of this through your account settings.
Inactive Accounts
If you haven't logged in for three years, we'll send you an email asking if you want to keep your account. No response means we'll delete your account and most associated data within 90 days. Course completion records may be retained longer for educational accreditation purposes.
Legal Retention Requirements
Canadian law requires us to keep certain records for specific periods. Financial records must be retained for seven years for tax purposes. Records related to legal disputes are kept until the matter is resolved. We delete this information as soon as the legal requirement expires.
Deletion Exceptions: Some information can't be fully deleted because it's part of anonymized analytics, backup systems, or legal archives. When you request deletion, we make your data inaccessible and mark it for removal from all active systems.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to make our platform work properly and understand how you use it. Here's what's running and why.
Essential Cookies
These keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and make sure the platform functions correctly. You can't opt out of these because they're necessary for basic operation.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools to understand which features get used, where students struggle, and how to improve the platform. This data is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally. You can opt out through your account settings.
Managing Cookies
Your browser lets you block or delete cookies. Most browsers have settings where you can refuse cookies or get alerts when sites try to set them. Keep in mind that blocking cookies might break some features or require you to log in more frequently.
Children's Privacy
Our platform is designed for adults learning about investment analysis. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16 years old. If you're under 16, please don't create an account or provide us with any personal information.
If we discover that we've accidentally collected data from someone under 16, we'll delete it immediately. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with information should contact us right away at help@qylextarian.info.
International Data Transfers
Your data is primarily stored on servers located in Canada. However, some of our service providers operate internationally, which means your information might be processed in other countries with different privacy laws.
When we transfer data outside Canada, we use standard contractual clauses and other legal mechanisms to ensure your information receives adequate protection. These providers must maintain security standards equivalent to Canadian requirements.
Changes to This Policy
We update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email and post a notice on our platform.
The date at the top shows when this policy was last updated. We encourage you to review it periodically. Continuing to use our services after changes means you accept the updated policy.
Privacy Officer and Complaints
We've designated a Privacy Officer responsible for ensuring compliance with Canadian privacy laws and handling your privacy concerns. If you have questions or complaints about how we handle your information, contact our Privacy Officer first.
If you're not satisfied with our response, you have the right to file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. They're an independent organization that investigates privacy complaints and can be reached at priv.gc.ca.
