The policy relates to the Alison platform and all user data collected and managed through the platform to deliver Alison Services. If you use Alison Services (a “User”) this policy applies to you and you are bound by it. If you disagree you must stop using Alison Services and close your account.
Capernaum Limited trades as “Alison”, and is located in Galway, Ireland. Alison respects User’s rights regarding their privacy and information, taking great care with any personally identifying information. As an Irish domiciled entity, the Alison platform is subject to the laws of Ireland and regulations of the E.U. The General Data Protection Regulation (effective from May 2018) and Data Protection Acts 1988-2018 in Ireland apply to the safeguarding and processing of personal data that could be used to identify any citizens of the E.U.. Alison is committed to complying with its legal obligations in this regard, not just to data subjects (Users) in the E.U. but to extend the same courtesy to all Alison Users worldwide.
This policy is based on obligations created through General Data Protection Regulation in the E.U. and other equivalent legislation worldwide such as the California Consumer Privacy Act in the US
The Alison platform may collect and process personal data relating to past and present users and learners in the course of business. Alison collects data directly from the User input but also in automated ways such as through system logs, cookies, web beacons and integration with third party service providers. Processing of data includes: collecting; recording; storing; altering; disclosing; destroying; and blocking. This policy governs Alison’s approach to data and does not apply to any third party organisations which may have integrated their systems to the Alison platform.
Personally Identifying Information (PII) may be required to uniquely identify a User upon Registration (e.g. a personal email address) and other information may be required to complete purchases and receive certification if requested. You may also be invited to create a personal profile and resumé (including date of birth, existing education, work experience and career ambitions) and to generate or supply other personal information (such as completing personality, psychometric and workplace assessments) to build out your profile to determine your suitability for different careers, job opportunities and to establish your own tailored learning pathway. You will have the option to share or unshared some or all of this information in your own public profile.
Personal data is stored within your User account on the platform and access is completely restricted via encrypted networks and access permissions in order to ensure the highest levels of confidentiality and protection. No personal data is available to download or remove from the platform by employees or third parties, and Alison ensures that only authorised personnel have online access to a User’s account data.
Users may decide to post comments on the Alison Blog or interact with other Users in a way which is public or widely available to Alison Users through postings, sharing, course reviews, direct communications, giving testimonials, uploading photos or commenting on different parts of the Alison platform (“Shared Content” or “Public Posting”). Alison will collect and store Public Postings and Shared Content which will become publicly available or viewable by others. When you share content or make a public posting you are consenting to granting Alison a non-exclusive right and license to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, offer, market and otherwise use and exploit the Public Postings and Shared Content. However Alison is not responsible for how other Users may use such publicly available information or otherwise accessible to others who have access to the Services. Users are expected to use their discretion when making such posts. In the event that a User is selected as "Learner of the Day" or "Learner of the Month", the User agrees to allow Alison to publish their Registration Information (except for your email address), Profile Information, and Course Information as well as your response to the accolade for marketing purposes and/or via Alison Services.
After registration, a User can enroll in a course offered by Alison or its affiliated Publishers. Aggregated data on age, gender (where available) and country of origin is shared with affiliated Publishers relating to the Users enrolled on the courses they teach, and is subject to a legal agreement between Alison and each individual Publisher. There is no way for a Publisher to access or derive User level information from this aggregated information.
Alison processes certain data relevant to the publication and playback of course content by publishers and learners. Certain data is collected to ensure Users, publishers and learner progress are uniquely identified and accurate records are maintained in order to deliver the Alison learning service and to comply with relevant legal obligations. This will include regular emails to keep Users informed of their progress and make various suggestions and recommendations. Patterns of usage behaviour and course content evaluation is also collected and stored as metadata to help Alison and Publishers improve the services and offer the most appropriate content and courses to registered Users.
All User personal data is stored securely on third party cloud-based electronic storage and safeguarded. User purchases of physical goods require a home delivery address to process orders. Alison uses payment processing and fulfilment partners who will receive sensitive PII to enable payment collection and when necessary, physical fulfilment. Highly sensitive data, such as credit card information and passwords are never received by Alison (e.g. when you allow third party authentication via your social media sign-on, or by choosing third party payment providers such as Paypal or Stripe, that isolate Alison from your payment details). Recurring payment details are stored by a third party payment provider that you choose and not by Alison. Although Alison allows Users to register with their social media single sign-on (such as Facebook, Google, Linked-in etc.) the information available on these third party platforms is governed by their terms and information sharing practices. Alison only takes necessary information from these social platforms (i.e. your name, email address, and country for legitimate purposes) and does NOT take any other personal or social information on your friends and contacts from these platforms.
Alison tests and operates a number of analytical tags, scripts and tracking pixels (also known as web beacons) from third party providers such as Google, Facebook, Bing, and Hotjar) to enable browser and mobile analytics that measure page views and sessions. This helps Alison understand User behaviours as the visit, navigate and leave the Alison platform.
Alison provides free learning supported through advertising services managed by third parties. Alison both buys online ads and sells online ads through third party providers (e.g. Google AdWords, Bing, Facebook Ads and Google AdSense). Cookies and tracking pixels are used by advertising service providers as independent third party data controllers to enable personalised advertising to the User based on intent, search history and demographics built up by advertising service providers over time. Alison has no access to these third party cookies or tracking technology nor any control over how third party advertising service providers use the data they collect.
As an internet based service, web server log files are also collected and monitored for usage and behaviour patterns over time. User device information and IP addresses are also collected to understand platform traffic flows how each User interacts with Alison Services and to ensure the right balance of technical support, customer service resources and device expertise is available to Users.
Alison also stores and uses cookie information (a piece of text saved on each User’s device) to help track unique user sessions, to personalise Alison Services for the User. Alison stores Preference, Security, Functional and Session cookies to tailor the usage experience, securely automate User login and enable purchase transactions. Alison uses web beacons to help monitor email communications with our registered Users to understand which messages are successfully delivered and read.
By using Alison Services and directly inputting your information on the platform, you the User are consenting to the collection and use of your data by Alison. You have full access to your information through your user account, and are responsible for ensuring that you keep your personal details up-to-date through the platform. You have the power to modify your personal data and the power to deactivate your account and request the removal of your personally identifiable information when you delete your account. You may modify your email client, browser settings or use browser add-ons to control how cookies, beacons and other third party services work. Privacy settings are also provided on your mobile device operating system to give you more control over your data. Reducing the level of data shared and advertising options may reduce the quality of, or disable, some or all Alison services.
To understand and control how the digital advertising industry uses your data please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link . These help you to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, You can visit the Google Ads Settings page. Opting out means that your personal data is not used to personalise ads. Opting out does not mean you will not receive ads. Alison has no affiliation nor control over these industry initiatives and how you use these tools is your own responsibility.
Alison recognises the privacy interests of children. Parents and guardians need to take an active role in their children's online activities and interests. Digital consent is generally not legally recognised for children under the age of 13, or under the age of 16 where such children reside in the European Economic Area. Parents and legal guardians should not allow their children defined as such to register, enrol and learn on the Alison platform without full time supervision. Alison reserves the right to delete any User account that we discover was created by a child unable to give digital consent. If a parent or guardian discovers that Alison has unlawfully collected the personal information from a child please contact our data protection officers who will take all reasonable steps to delete such information promptly.
Alison is under a legal obligation to keep certain data for a specified period of time. Furthermore Alison aggregates data and anonymises User accounts that are deleted so that it is no longer reasonably associated with an identified or identifiable natural person. Such Other Information is used by Alison for other relevant business purposes for as long as necessary. This may include keeping Other Information after the User has deleted their account for whatever period of time needed for Alison to pursue its legitimate business interests, conduct audits, comply with (and demonstrate compliance with) legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce commercial agreements.
The organisation will take all reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are in place to protect the confidentiality of electronically stored data. The platform is large and public and subject to regular attack by hackers. The platform has been hardened extensively over time however no online system is perfect or immune from breach. Alison has appropriate security measures in place to protect against unauthorised access. Safeguards are applied to the processing and retention of data. These include:
1. Limitations on access to prevent unauthorised consultation, alteration, disclosure or erasure of personal data.
1.1 Strict time limits for erasure of personal data in line with our retention policy.
1.2 Logging mechanisms to permit verification of whether and by whom personal data has been consulted, altered, disclosed or erased.
1.3 Pseudonymisation, anonymisation and encryption.
1.4 The platform databases are not accessible directly by employees or software developers other than authorised DevOps administrators. Multi factor authentication is required for all authorised DevOps administrators to ensure access to sensitive data is restricted to the maximum possible.
1.5 Security measures will be reviewed from time to time, having regard to the technology available, the cost and the risk of unauthorised access.
Customer Support employees will have access to a certain amount of personal data relating to users and other third parties. Employees must not disclose User’s personal data, except where necessary in the course of their employment or in accordance with law. They must not remove or destroy personal data except for lawful reasons and with the permission of the organisation. Any breach of the data protection principles is a serious matter and may lead to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. All Alison employees must adhere to the following data protection principles:
2. Process data fairly, lawfully and transparently.
2.1 Keep data only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes.
2.3 Process data only in ways which are compatible with the purposes for which it was given.

The organisation will, in most circumstances, provide this data within one month. In some cases, due to the complexity of the request or the number of requests being handled by the organisation, the organisation may require a further two months to provide this data.
Users are only entitled to access data about themselves and will not be provided with data relating to other users or third parties. However some user data may have been disclosed publicly on Alison forums for example. It may be possible to block out User data relating to a third party or conceal the User’s identity, and where this is possible the organisation will endeavour to do so.

Users may have the right to object to data processing that is causing them distress and/or to make corrections to personal data which is inaccurate. Where such objection is justified, the organisation will cease processing the data unless it has a legitimate interest that prevents this. Alison will make every effort to alleviate the distress caused to the individual. An objection should be made in writing to the Data Protection Officer, outlining the data in question and the harm being caused.
Based in the Republic of Ireland, Alison operates on a global basis and it may be necessary in the course of business to collect or transfer User personal data across state boundaries, to share data with other group companies in countries outside the European Economic Area, and to share information with third party service providers. The transfer of such data is deemed necessary for the management and administration of your User Account and delivery of Alison Services. Some states do not have comparable data protection laws to Ireland or the EU. When data transfer is necessary, Alison will take steps to ensure that the data has an equal level of protection as it would in Ireland or as expected within other leading international jurisdictions. Furthermore Alison will only transmit data to companies that agree to guarantee the same level of protection. For more information, please contact Alison’s Data Protection Officers.
Alison has completed a Data Protection Impact Assessment and put the necessary policy and procedures in place to minimise risks to users data privacy and maximise data protection. This policy will be reviewed from time to time to take into account changes in the law and the experience of the policy in practice. Updates will be posted to the website when available. Material updates will be circulated to each User via the registered User email on the User Account. Continued usage of the Alison Service is deemed to be User acceptance of this policy as permitted by applicable law.
