We respect your privacy
Your privacy is important to us, and we recognise and respect your right to privacy. We understand you have a right to control how your personal information is collected and used and that you may be entrusting us with personal information – a responsibility we take seriously.
This policy limits our ability to use your information as set out below.
This notice applies across our website that we own and operate, the services we provide, including our online platforms and any other apps, products or services we may offer (including events or training).
Cybring respects your right to privacy and is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our customers and website visitors. This policy sets out how we collect and treat your personal information.
When we say ‘personal data’ or ‘personal information’ we mean identifiable information about you, like your name, email, address, telephone number, bank account details, payment information, support queries, community comments and so on. This information is identifiable as being about you.
Cybring does not always have the need to collect personal data to provide you with products or services. In these cases, when we cannot identify you, then this notice does not apply.
Who we are
When we refer to “we”, “us” or “Cybring” we are referring to Cybring Academy and subsidiaries which may operate under different entities across different parts of the world.
Collection of personal information
Information you provide to us directly: When you visit or use some parts of our websites and/or platforms or services we might ask you to provide personal data to us. For example, we may ask for your full name, last name and email address on setting up a login to our platform, or we may request that you provide more information to us in response to a job advertisement, or perhaps for a free promotional offer you may be asked to participate in a social media activity or event activity. If you don’t want to provide us with personal data, you don’t have to, but it might mean you can’t use some parts of our websites or services
Information we collect automatically: We may collect some information about you automatically when you visit our websites or use our services, like your IP address and device type.
