Information we collect and how we use it:

We offer a number of services that do not require you to register for an account or provide any personal information to us. In order to provide our full range of services, we may collect the following types of information:

  • Information you provide – When you sign up for a SolidProfessor Account or other SolidProfessor service or promotion that requires registration, we ask you for personal information (such as your name, email address and an account password). For certain services, we also request credit card or other payment account information which we maintain in encrypted form on secure servers. We may combine the information you submit under your account with information from other SolidProfessor services or third parties in order to provide you with a better experience and to improve the quality of our services. For certain services, we may give you the opportunity to opt out of combining such information.
  • SolidProfessor cookies – When you visit SolidProfessor, we send one or more cookies – a small file containing a string of characters – to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing user preferences and tracking user trends, such as how people search. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
  • User communications – When you send email or other communication to SolidProfessor, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests, and improve our services.
  • Affiliated sites – We offer some of our services in connection with other websites. Personal information that you provide to those sites may be sent to SolidProfessor in order to deliver the service. We process such information in accordance with this Policy. The affiliated sites may have different privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
  • Links – SolidProfessor may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed.
  • Other sites – This Privacy Policy applies to websites and services that are owned and operated by SolidProfessor. We do not exercise control over the sites displayed as search results or links from within our various services. These other sites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data, or solicit personal information from you.

SolidProfessor processes personal information on our servers in the United States of America.

Choices for personal information

When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration, we ask you to provide personal information. SolidProfessor may use the personal information you provide us for a variety of purposes, including registration, authentication, and marketing purposes. We may use the information to inform you of special offers, upgrades, and other products and services that may be of interest to you.

If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for those other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent.

You can decline to submit personal information to any of our services, in which case SolidProfessor may not be able to provide those services to you.

Information security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices, and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.

We restrict access to personal information to SolidProfessor employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

Data integrity

SolidProfessor processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected, and in accordance with this Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage, and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store, and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary.

Accessing and updating personal information

When you use SolidProfessor services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information, either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected, or removed before processing such requests.

SolidProfessor regularly reviews its compliance with this Policy. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding this Policy or SolidProfessor’s treatment of personal information by contacting us at: https://www.solidprofessor.com/contact-us/. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between SolidProfessor and an individual.

Changes to this policy

Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Policy without your explicit consent, and we expect most changes to be minor. Regardless, we will post any Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Policy changes).

Section 508 compliance

SolidProfessor is committed to providing Section 508 accessibility for our member community to ensure they have an enjoyable learning experience. In 2011, we started adding closed captioning in our course material, and as of 2016, we’ve committed to including closed captioning in all of our new course releases.

Closed captioning allows members with hearing loss to learn and engage in our course material. Additionally, our hands-on exercises and downloadable materials include descriptions and other aids to help users complete the lessons through written instruction.

SolidProfessor is committed to continually investigating and initiating new technologies to support 508 compliance in our online, video-based training. Our goal is to provide the best learning experience for all of our members.
