The security of your information is very important to us. Find out how we keep your details safe.
Anglo Linguist LLP (hereinafter referred to as “Anglolinguist“) has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this web site: www.anglolinguist.com.
YOUR PERSONAL PROFILE
When we ask information of you, our primary interest is to provide you with more personalized service. We respect your privacy and do not sell, rent or trade your name or personal details to other organizations except as outlined in this policy.
By providing your personal information and photo, you understand and consent to Anglolinguist using your image, photo, video, and comments. This information is displayed as part of your public profile in our community and can be seen by others. From time to time we may use some of our customer information in our marketing materials. However, we will never do this without contacting you first and receiving your prior written and explicit consent.
SECURITY MEASURES
The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
If you ever discover a fraudulent charge from Anglolinguist on your billing statement, please contact us and you must report it immediately to your credit card provider, in accordance with their standard procedures.
This site makes use of forums, bulletin boards and chat rooms. Please remember that any information you disclose in these areas becomes public. You should always be cautious about the amount of personal information you give to anyone in this context.
We also insist on password verification at sign-in to protect against unauthorized access to your personal profile and course history.
Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Despite these security procedures and practices, as is the case with all computer networks connected to the Internet, Anglolinguist cannot guarantee the security of your personal information or any other information provided over the Internet and will not be responsible for breaches of security.
No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
