Privacy Policy

First and foremost: You own your data. We don’t sell your data. Ever.

Like the postal service, we deliver information that belongs to you and your survey respondents, not us. We’ve created this privacy policy to explain how Simplylearn AS handles your data and your personal information.

This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide to us when you visit the Simplylearn AS websites or use our services located at Simplylearn.net, Simplylearn.co and Simplylearn.no (Websites). If your learning platform is on a mapped domain or Enterprise domain the information will be stored on the same Simplylearn AS application, and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting and disclosing such information.

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect:

(i) through our Services, and

(ii) in text and electronic messages between you and our Services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other services or any information collected by us offline or via third-party sites that may be accessed through hyperlinks on our Services.

For users based in the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and Switzerland (the “Designated Countries”): We enable the transfer of personal data from

By accessing or using our application and service you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

We collect several types of information about visitors and/or users of our Services. We may collect this information either directly when you provide it to us or automatically as you navigate through the Websites or App.

(a) We will collect and process your personal data when you register for a Service/create an account, subscribe to a newsletter, submit feedback, enter a contest, fill out a survey, or send us a comment. When ordering products or services on the Websites or App, you may also be asked to provide a credit card number and other payment-related information. Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is required to use the Services (e.g. registering an account) and some is voluntary. If you do not provide data when needed for a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.

We also collect your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers and/or software, to administer our Services, and to gather demographic information.

(b) We may collect certain information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. Such information tells us about your equipment, browsing actions, and the resources that you access and use through the Services, such as your operating system and browser type. We use analytics and similar services, as explained in our Cookie Policy, to help us to deliver a better and more personalized service to users by enabling us to estimate usage patterns, customize our Services according to your individual preferences, and speed up your searches.

(c) When you download our App and use our Services, we automatically collect information on the type of device you use and the operating system version, so we know the best version of the application to provide you. We do not ask you for, access, or track any location-based information from your mobile device at any time while downloading or using our App or Services.

(d) When you contact us for customer support we may collect additional information to resolve your issue and may request you to bind your Lynda account with your LinkedIn account to improve your customer service experience. However, if you elect not to bind, you will still be able to receive customer service.

(e) We are not a site targeted at children or those under the age of 16. If you are a school and you use a Simplylearn service for children under the age of 16, or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction, you are responsible for obtaining consent from the parents/legal guardians of each child you wish to allow to participate in using any of our Services. A child using our Services will be able to participate in certain limited activities (such as taking online educational and informational courses).
