This Privacy Policy sets forth the ways in which BEaprende, a United States-based learning management system (“LMS”) dedicated to providing professional development courses, collects, uses, discloses, safeguards, and otherwise processes the personal data of individuals who access or use our websites, mobile applications, application programming interfaces, or any related services that reference this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”). By visiting or using the Services, you signify that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Services immediately.

I. Data We Collect

BEaprende collects personal data that you provide directly, as well as data automatically generated through your use of the Services. When you create an account, we collect information such as your name, email address, password, and any additional details you provide that help us personalize your experience. Learners may voluntarily share professional information and interests relevant to their educational goals. Instructors may furnish verification documents, government-issued identification, tax-related details, and financial account information to facilitate payments. Learners who purchase courses or subscriptions will be required to provide billing and payment-related information, though sensitive financial details, such as full credit card numbers, are not stored directly on our servers but rather by trusted payment service providers.

We gather information generated as you use our platform, including the courses you enroll in, your progress and completion status, the assignments you submit, and any content you post publicly, such as questions, feedback, or reviews. We also collect technical data when you access our Services, including the type of device you are using, its operating system, your IP address, browser details, approximate geographic location inferred from your IP address, and usage patterns associated with the features you engage. To enhance your experience, we may deploy cookies and similar technologies to remember your settings, analyze traffic, secure our Services, and serve content that may be more relevant to you. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though certain aspects of the Services may not function optimally if you choose to disable them.

II. How We Collect Your Data

We obtain personal data directly from you when you register, purchase courses, submit assignments, or interact with instructors, other learners, or our support team. We may also receive data from third parties if, for instance, you log in to our Services through a social media account or another platform that shares authorized information with us. Furthermore, we gather data automatically as you navigate the Services, using server logs, cookies, and similar tools to understand how you interact with our content, measure what features are most useful, enhance the security of our systems, and troubleshoot technical issues that may arise.

III. How We Use Your Data

BEaprende uses your personal data for several purposes necessary to provide and improve the Services. We use it to facilitate the delivery of educational content, verify the identities of learners and instructors, issue completion certificates, process payments and related transactions, and otherwise maintain the integrity and reliability of the learning environment. Your data enables us to administer user accounts, respond to inquiries and support requests, send updates regarding your account or courses, and communicate changes to this Privacy Policy or other important platform policies. We may also use your personal data, where lawful and appropriate, for marketing and promotional activities, such as informing you of new courses, features, or discounts that might be of interest, and you may opt out of receiving these communications at any time.

We continually evaluate our systems to improve their performance, security, and user experience. Your data assists in refining our course offerings, developing new products or features, conducting analytics to understand usage patterns and user preferences, and supporting our compliance, legal, and regulatory obligations. We may use and store anonymized or de-identified data, derived from your personal data, for research or statistical purposes, provided that such data no longer identifies you as an individual.

IV. Who We Share Your Data With

BEaprende shares your personal data only as necessary and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may disclose certain details, excluding your email address, to instructors whose courses you enroll in so they can better understand their audience and enhance their educational materials. Any content you post publicly on the platform, such as questions, reviews, or forum contributions, will be visible to other learners and instructors. We engage reputable third-party service providers for critical operational functions, such as payment processing, analytics, email delivery, technical support, hosting, and marketing services. These third parties are contractually obligated to safeguard your personal data and to use it solely for the services requested by BEaprende.

We may share your data if required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests, and to enforce our rights, investigate violations of our Terms of Use, or detect, prevent, or address fraud, security issues, or other potential harm. In the event of a corporate transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the conditions of this Privacy Policy.

V. Security

We understand the importance of security and take commercially reasonable measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. BEaprende employs appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, and we routinely review and update our security practices as the threat landscape evolves. Nevertheless, no method of online transmission or storage is entirely foolproof, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. To help protect your data, we encourage you to maintain the confidentiality of your password and to alert our support team immediately if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

VI. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your data, as well as the right to object to certain activities or request data portability. Residents of California may enjoy additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know how we have collected, used, and shared their personal information, and to request its deletion or opt out of certain types of data sharing. Individuals in Nevada and other U.S. states may have similar rights under their respective laws. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region that provides privacy protections, you may be entitled to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we have not adhered to applicable data protection laws. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email or mailing address provided below. We may request that you verify your identity before acting on your request, in accordance with applicable law.

VII. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not intended for use by individuals below the age at which they can lawfully consent to online data processing in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under such ages. If we determine that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child not legally permitted to provide consent, we will take steps to promptly delete this data from our records. Parents or guardians who believe that their child may have provided personal data to us without appropriate consent should contact us so that we can address the situation.

VIII. International Users

BEaprende is based in the United States and processes data there. By using the Services, you understand and agree that your personal data may be transferred to and stored on servers located in the United States or in other countries outside your home jurisdiction. These countries may have data protection laws different from those of your own jurisdiction. In all cases, we will take appropriate measures to protect your personal data in compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

IX. Updates to This Privacy Policy

From time to time, we may modify this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes in our data handling practices. If we make material changes that affect your rights or obligations, we will notify you by an appropriate method, such as posting a notice within the Services or sending you an email. Your continued use of the Services after any changes become effective will constitute your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.

X. Contact Information
