Fenrasto Lomeria Data Usage Policy

Technology Usage

At Fenrasto Lomeria, we rely on tracking technologies to deliver an engaging and effective online education experience. These tools enable us to personalize content, analyze usage patterns, and ensure that our platform operates smoothly. While some of these technologies are essential for functionality, others enhance the learning experience by tailoring it to individual users. Let’s break down the categories of tracking technologies we use and why they matter.

Necessary Technologies

Necessary technologies are the backbone of our website’s functionality. Without them, the platform simply wouldn't work as intended. For example, these tools manage essential processes such as user authentication—ensuring that only registered students and educators can access their respective accounts. They also track session continuity, allowing users to remain logged in as they navigate through courses or access resources.

Another example is content delivery. If you’re watching a lecture video or downloading a worksheet, necessary tracking ensures that the content reaches you without interruptions or errors. These technologies also manage basic security measures, helping protect sensitive educational data like assignment submissions or grades from unauthorized access.

Performance Tracking

Performance tracking helps us understand how well our website and services function. These tools collect anonymous data about page load times, server response rates, and how users interact with different features. For instance, if students frequently experience delays when accessing live quiz modules, performance data can help us pinpoint and address the technical bottlenecks causing the issue.

This category also helps us identify which resources are most popular or underutilized. For example, if data shows that a specific tutorial video has high engagement but another isn’t watched as often, we might investigate whether the less popular video needs updating or better placement within the curriculum.

Functional Technologies

Functional tracking technologies enhance the usability of our platform by remembering user preferences and settings. For instance, they might store your preferred language selection or remember where you left off in a course, allowing you to seamlessly resume your learning journey. These technologies are not strictly necessary for basic functionality, but they provide a smoother and more intuitive experience.

For example, a student who adjusts their font size for easier reading or switches to dark mode for late-night study sessions benefits from functional tracking that remembers these choices across visits. Without these tools, users would need to reconfigure their settings every time they log in, which could disrupt the learning flow.

Customization

Customization tools take personalization to the next level by tailoring content and recommendations to individual users. For example, if a student frequently explores courses in biology, the system may suggest additional biology-related resources, such as articles, practice quizzes, or advanced course options. This ensures that students discover material most relevant to their academic goals.

In the context of group learning, customization can also support educators by suggesting collaborative tools or activities based on the course structure and student engagement levels. This helps create a dynamic and adaptive educational environment.

Data Ecosystem

It’s important to understand that these different types of technologies don’t operate in isolation. Together, they form a cohesive data ecosystem designed to provide a seamless and effective learning experience. For instance, data collected by performance trackers can inform functional features—like adjusting video quality automatically based on a user's internet speed.

We are committed to using this ecosystem responsibly, ensuring that all technologies work together to serve our educational mission while respecting user privacy and preferences.

Restrictions

We believe that every user has the right to control their data and make informed choices about their privacy. This section explains how you can manage tracking technologies, the potential impact of disabling them, and how to strike a balance between privacy and functionality.

User Rights

As a user, you have the right to know what data is collected about you, how it’s used, and how you can control it. Many of these rights are outlined in global data protection frameworks like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These frameworks give you the ability to access, correct, or delete your data, as well as to opt out of certain types of tracking.

Managing Settings in Browsers

In Google Chrome, navigate to "Settings" > "Privacy and Security" > "Cookies and other site data" to manage permissions.
In Mozilla Firefox, go to "Settings" > "Privacy & Security" > "Cookies and Site Data" to adjust your preferences.
For Safari users, visit "Preferences" > "Privacy" to block or enable cookies selectively.

Remember, disabling certain types of tracking may affect website functionality, as outlined below.

First-Party Management Tools

Fenrasto Lomeria also provides its own tools to manage your preferences directly on our platform. Through our preference center, you can opt in or out of non-essential tracking categories, such as performance or customization technologies. This allows you to tailor your experience without compromising on essential features.

Consequences of Disabling Tracking

Disabling different categories of tracking may limit certain features. For instance:

Without necessary technologies, features like logging in or submitting assignments may not function properly.
Disabling performance tracking could result in slower page loads or less accurate troubleshooting if issues arise.
Turning off functional technologies may mean resetting preferences, like language settings, every time you visit.
Opting out of customization tools may lead to less personalized recommendations and a more generic learning experience.

By understanding these trade-offs, you can make decisions that align with your privacy preferences while maintaining an optimal educational experience.

Further Considerations

Retention Policies

We retain data only for as long as necessary to fulfill its purpose. For example, login data might be stored for the duration of a course, while performance metrics may be anonymized and retained for long-term analysis. Once data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted following industry best practices.

Security Measures

To protect your data, we implement a combination of technical and organizational measures. This includes encryption of sensitive data, regular security audits, and staff training to ensure compliance with privacy standards. For instance, all user passwords are hashed and stored securely, preventing unauthorized access even in the unlikely event of a breach.

Integration with Other Sources

Occasionally, we integrate data from third-party platforms—such as online libraries or learning tools—to provide a richer educational experience. For example, if a student accesses an external video tutorial linked within a course, some interaction data may be shared to track progress across resources.

Regulatory Compliance

Fenrasto Lomeria complies with all relevant data protection laws, including GDPR and other frameworks applicable to educational services. This ensures that we handle your data transparently and in line with legal requirements.

International Users

For users outside our primary region, we adhere to local data protection laws. For instance, we adjust our data handling processes to comply with regulations in the United States, Canada, or other jurisdictions.

External Providers

We work with carefully selected partners to enhance our platform. These partners may assist with hosting, analytics, or content delivery, among other services. Below, we outline the types of data they collect and how it’s used.

Partners may collect data such as IP addresses, device types, or browsing behavior to ensure smooth delivery of content.
This data is often used to optimize performance, such as improving video streaming quality or analyzing site traffic patterns.
You have control over this data collection through opt-out mechanisms provided within our platform or directly through the partner’s tools.
To protect your data, we establish contracts with partners that include strict confidentiality and security clauses.

Changes to This Policy

We review this policy periodically—usually annually or when significant changes occur. Updates are communicated through email notifications, banners on our website, or in your account dashboard. These notifications are sent at least 30 days before changes take effect.

We also maintain a version history of our policies, accessible through your account settings, so you can review past versions. If an update significantly alters how we collect or use data, we will request your consent again to ensure you remain informed and in control of your choices.
