We collect personal data, including your name, email, contact information, academic records, and payment details when you register for courses or interact with our site. Additionally, we gather non-personal data such as IP addresses, browsing activity, and cookie preferences to optimize the user experience.
We use the collected information to process applications, provide course materials, offer academic support, and send updates about new programs, services, and promotional offers. Non-personal data is used to enhance our website's performance, user engagement, and overall functionality.
SFU does not share your personal data with third parties unless necessary for academic or payment-related services, or as required by law. In cases where third-party service providers are involved, they are contractually obligated to safeguard your information and use it solely for the services requested.
We implement security protocols to protect your data, including encryption technologies, secure storage, and restricted access. However, no online platform is completely secure, and we encourage users to take appropriate steps to protect their accounts and information.
You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information at any time. Requests for data modification or removal can be made through our support team. You can also opt out of marketing communications by following the instructions in our emails.
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for academic purposes or to meet legal obligations. Once the data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
SFU reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy periodically. Significant changes will be communicated through our website or by email.
