We collect personal information only when there is a legitimate reason to do so. The types of information we may collect include:
Information you provide directly: When you create an account, submit a profile, apply for a position, enroll in a course, fill out a contact form, or subscribe to our newsletter, you provide us with information such as your full name, email address, phone number, mailing address, resume or curriculum vitae, teaching certifications, employment history, educational background, professional references, and billing information for paid courses.
Information collected automatically: When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical data through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time spent on pages, and device identifiers. This data helps us understand how our platform is used and where we can improve the experience.
Information from third parties: If you connect a third-party account such as LinkedIn or Google to your Learning Capital profile, we may receive information from those platforms in accordance with their own privacy policies and your privacy settings on those services.
Communications data: When you contact our support team, respond to surveys, or participate in community forums, we retain records of those communications to improve our service and resolve disputes.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not purchase data from data brokers to build profiles on our users.
The personal information we collect is used for specific, clearly defined purposes. We use your data to:
Operate and maintain your account and provide access to the features and services you have requested. Match your educator profile with relevant job listings based on your qualifications, location preferences, subject expertise, and career goals. Process course enrollments and payments, including issuing receipts and managing refunds where applicable. Send you transactional emails such as application confirmations, interview scheduling notices, and course completion certificates. Send you marketing communications, newsletters, and platform updates — but only where you have given us your consent, and always with a clear option to unsubscribe. Analyze platform usage patterns to improve our website, job matching algorithms, course content, and user experience. Comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests from government authorities, and enforce our terms of service. Prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorized access, and other potentially illegal conduct on our platform. Conduct internal research and analytics to understand trends in educator employment and professional development.
We will never use your information for purposes that are incompatible with those listed above without first obtaining your explicit consent.
We share your personal information only in the following limited circumstances:
With partner institutions and employers: When you apply for a position listed on our platform or make your profile visible to institutions, we share the relevant portions of your profile — such as your resume, certifications, and contact information — with the institution or employer you have indicated interest in. You control the visibility of your profile at all times through your account settings.
With service providers: We work with trusted third-party vendors who help us operate our platform, including cloud hosting providers, payment processors, email delivery services, analytics platforms, and customer support tools. These providers are contractually obligated to use your data only to perform services on our behalf and to maintain appropriate security standards.
In the event of a business transaction: If Learning Capital is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar transaction, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify users by email and through a prominent notice on our website prior to any such transfer.
When required by law: We may disclose your information in response to valid legal process, such as a court order, subpoena, or government investigation, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Learning Capital, our users, or the public.
We do not share your personal data with advertisers or allow third parties to use your data for their own marketing purposes.
We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide our services. Specifically:
Active account data is retained for the duration of your account and for up to two years following account closure, to allow for account reactivation and to resolve any outstanding disputes or legal matters. Job application data is retained for up to three years to maintain records of placements and support any employment verification requests. Course enrollment and completion records are retained indefinitely to support transcript requests and professional certification verification. Financial transaction records are retained for seven years in compliance with applicable tax and accounting regulations. Data collected for marketing purposes is retained only for as long as you remain subscribed. Upon unsubscribing, your marketing preferences are updated immediately.
You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at support@learningcapital.site. We will process deletion requests within thirty days, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain certain records.

Learning Capital is intended for use by individuals who are at least 18 years of age. Our platform is designed for working professionals and job seekers in the education sector. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our systems. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at support@learningcapital.site.

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement a range of technical and organizational measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
Encryption of data in transit using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols. Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including passwords and payment information. Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing of our platform infrastructure. Access controls that limit employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis. Incident response procedures to detect, investigate, and notify affected users in the event of a data breach, as required by applicable law.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account and to contact us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or business operations. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by sending an email to the address associated with your account and by posting a prominent notice on our website for at least thirty days before the changes take effect.
