NCAIS Privacy Policy for Online Courses hosted through Thinkific
What information do we collect and what do we do with it?
When you log on our Thinkific platform and enter an NCAIS course, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name and email address.
We may send you emails about our site, registration, course content, your course progress or other updates. We may also use your email to inform you about changes to the course, survey you about your usage, or collect your opinion.
2. How do you get my consent?
When you provide us with personal information to become a learner on our site, make a purchase, or participate in the course, you imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to say no.
3. How do I withdraw my consent?
If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us via email at [email protected] or by mail at NCAIS, P.O. 4601, Greensboro, NC 27404.
