The Centre For Applied Neuroscience Courses

Privacy policy

This information refers to the CAN Courses site as it relates to registered users.

We are grateful you are here, and engaging with us.  It is important to us that we honor that relationship and what you decide to share with us.

Site Security 

We have secured the site through the company we host with, InMotion Hosting. Their team monitors for abnormal access and will alert us if there are any breaches.  We use more complex passwords, to try and prevent breaches.  Users are manually registered to limit access.  We do regular site and course back-ups.  While these are downloaded to our administrator's computer, they are uploaded to our Google Drive for security. 

Cookies

Cookies are used to facilitate your experience logging into and using the site.  There may be files placed in your browser that assist with the following:

• Cookies authenticate users and prevent fraudulent access to accounts.
• Tracking site navigation allows our teachers to monitor if class content is being accessed by students confirming progression or alerting them to any need for adjustments to better the student experience.
• Cookies are also responsible for customizing your experience by acknowledging your return and saving your site settings.

You can check with your browser help pages regarding deletion or refusal.  This may affect your experience on the site.

Your Information

You have been added to this site as a result of an accepted offer to join either a Centre for Applied Neuroscience (CAN) program/course or a partnering associate (i.e., Bethany Perry's Life Coach Training program).  As a result of previous communication(s), we have manually entered you as a user with basic profile name, email, and temporary password information (you will be prompted to choose your own secure password upon initial login), and enrolled in your chosen program/course.

Your teacher(s), fellow classmates, and site managers will have access to whatever you decide to share on your profile, and post in class activities like forums, or wikis.  Any assignment submissions, activity logs, grades, and teacher feedback are restricted to you, the teachers, and site managers.

We do not share your information with any outside parties with two exceptions.  We do create a student mailing list with MailChimp (their privacy policy) in order to communicate course-related announcements and follow-up support and resources.  We also store our site and course backups on the CAN Google Drive (their terms of service and privacy policy).

Access And Requests

You will continue to have access to this and all policy information through your profile page.  You will also be able to contact your Data Protection Officer or request a copy or deletion of your information.
