Information Collection Practices

When you join Izar Stellaxis or browse our platform, we gather different types of information to make your learning experience work smoothly. Some of this you give us directly—like when you create an account or enroll in a course. Other data gets collected automatically as you navigate through our educational content and interact with various features.

We categorize the information we collect into several distinct types, each serving specific purposes within our educational ecosystem. Understanding what we collect helps you make informed decisions about your participation on our platform.

• Registration forms capture your basic profile information when you sign up for an account, including optional demographic data that helps us understand our learner community better.
• Learning management system interactions record every step of your educational journey, from video watch times to interactive exercise attempts, building a comprehensive picture of your progress.
• Cookies and local storage enable essential functionality like staying logged in, remembering your theme preferences, and tracking which parts of a course you've already completed.
• Analytics tools help us understand how learners navigate our platform, which features get used most, and where people might be encountering difficulties or confusion.
• Payment processing data includes billing information when you purchase courses or subscriptions, though we don't store complete credit card numbers on our servers.

Data Usage Purposes

Every piece of information we collect serves a purpose—we're not gathering data just for the sake of it. The primary reason we need your information is to deliver the educational services you've signed up for. Without knowing who you are and tracking your progress, we couldn't provide personalized learning experiences or save your work.

Beyond the basics, we use your data to make Izar Stellaxis better over time. This means analyzing patterns to improve our course design, identifying technical issues before they affect many users, and tailoring content recommendations to match your learning style and interests. We also use aggregated, anonymized data to understand broader trends in online education.

• Account management and authentication ensures you can securely access your courses and personal information whenever you log in, while preventing unauthorized access to your account.
• Course delivery and progress tracking allows us to present lessons in the right sequence, remember where you left off, and provide accurate completion statistics and achievement badges.
• Communication and notifications keeps you informed about course updates, new content releases, deadline reminders, and important platform announcements through email or in-app messages.
• Personalization and recommendations uses your learning history and preferences to suggest relevant courses, highlight content that matches your skill level, and customize your dashboard view.
• Security monitoring and fraud prevention helps us detect unusual activity patterns, prevent unauthorized account access, and protect against spam or malicious behavior on our platform.
• Analytics and platform improvement involves analyzing user behavior patterns to identify confusing navigation flows, optimize page load times, and develop new features that address actual learner needs.

Third-Party Data Collection Tools

Running a modern educational platform means working with specialized service providers—we can't build everything ourselves. Some of these third-party tools have their own data collection practices, and while we're careful about who we partner with, you should know that these external services operate under their own privacy policies.

We've chosen partners who share our commitment to data protection, but once information passes to their systems, they become responsible for handling it according to their own standards and legal obligations. In most cases, these tools only receive limited data necessary for their specific function.

• Analytics providers help us understand how learners interact with our platform by tracking page views, click patterns, and feature usage—though we configure these tools to anonymize IP addresses and respect do-not-track signals when possible.
• Learning management system components include specialized tools for video hosting, interactive quizzes, coding exercises, and collaborative projects that each collect usage data to function properly.
• Payment processors handle financial transactions when you purchase courses or subscriptions, collecting billing information and processing payments through secure, encrypted channels separate from our main platform.
• Cloud infrastructure providers host our servers and databases, meaning they technically have access to stored data, though they're contractually obligated to maintain strict security standards and data isolation.
• Communication services power our email notifications, discussion forums, and customer support ticketing system, requiring access to your contact information and message content to deliver these features.
• Authentication services enable social login options if you choose to sign up using existing accounts from other platforms, sharing only the basic profile information you authorize during that connection process.

Data Security and Privacy

Protecting your information isn't just a legal requirement for us—it's a fundamental responsibility we take seriously. We've put multiple layers of security in place to guard against unauthorized access, data breaches, and accidental loss. That said, no system is completely impenetrable, and we can't guarantee absolute security in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

Our security approach combines technical safeguards like encryption and access controls with organizational policies that limit who can view personal data and under what circumstances. We regularly review and update our security measures to address emerging threats and incorporate industry best practices.

• Access restrictions limit which employees and contractors can view personal information, granting permissions only when necessary for specific job functions and requiring multi-factor authentication for administrative access.
• Data encryption protects information both during transmission and while stored on our servers, using current cryptographic standards that would take impractical amounts of time and computing power to break.
• Regular security audits involve both automated scanning for vulnerabilities and periodic manual reviews by security professionals who test our defenses and recommend improvements.
• Incident response procedures outline exactly what we'll do if a data breach occurs, including how quickly we'll notify affected users, what steps we'll take to contain the damage, and how we'll prevent similar incidents.
• Data minimization practices mean we only collect and retain information that serves a clear purpose, regularly purging old data that's no longer needed for operational or legal reasons.

Your Data Rights

Your personal information belongs to you—we're just temporary custodians of it. You have significant rights regarding how we handle your data, and we've built tools into our platform to help you exercise those rights without jumping through bureaucratic hoops.

Depending on where you live, specific privacy regulations like GDPR, CCPA, or other regional laws may grant you additional protections beyond what we describe here. We aim to extend the strongest protections to all users regardless of location, though some features may be limited by technical or legal constraints.

• Access and portability rights allow you to request a complete copy of all personal information we hold about you, delivered in a structured, commonly-used format that you can transfer to another service if desired.
• Correction and update capabilities let you modify inaccurate information through your account settings, ensuring our records reflect current and correct details about your profile and preferences.
• Deletion requests enable you to ask us to erase your personal data, which we'll honor unless we have legitimate legal or operational reasons to retain certain information, like tax records or fraud prevention logs.
• Processing restrictions give you the option to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances, such as when you're disputing information accuracy or objecting to particular processing activities.
• Objection rights mean you can oppose specific uses of your information, particularly for marketing purposes or automated decision-making that significantly affects you.
• Consent withdrawal allows you to revoke previously-granted permissions at any time, though this might limit your access to features that require that data to function properly.

External Website Links

Our educational content sometimes includes links to external websites—maybe a news article that illustrates a concept, a research paper with deeper background, or a tool that complements what you're learning. These external sites operate independently of Izar Stellaxis, and we don't control their privacy practices or content.

When you click through to another website, you're leaving our platform and entering someone else's domain. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit, as they may collect information about you in ways that differ from our practices. Just because we link to something doesn't mean we endorse their data handling approaches.

Privacy Policy Updates

This policy isn't set in stone—we update it occasionally to reflect new features, changing legal requirements, or evolving best practices in data protection. When we make minor clarifications or administrative changes, we'll simply post the updated version with a new effective date. For significant revisions that materially affect your rights or how we handle data, we'll notify you directly through email or a prominent notice on the platform.

We recommend checking back periodically to stay informed about our current practices. The date at the bottom of this document shows when we last modified the policy, giving you a reference point for what's changed since you last reviewed it.

Additional Policies

Certain features or user groups may have supplementary privacy provisions that work alongside this main policy. For instance, if your school or employer has enrolled you in courses through an enterprise agreement, additional terms might govern how they can access your learning data. Similarly, if you participate in research studies or beta testing programs, those activities may involve separate consent processes with specific data handling rules.

Parents and guardians should review our child protection guidelines if minors are using the platform under their supervision. We take extra precautions when collecting information from users under the age of consent in their jurisdiction, limiting data collection and obtaining appropriate parental permissions as required by law.
