This is the Privacy Policy of Chestford Academy (hereinafter referred to as “Chestford Academy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a company having its address at Statendam 9, 2134WX Hoofddorp, The Netherlands. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information in relation to our website https://www.chestford.com (the “Service”). We collect this information when you visit our website using your computer, tablet, or mobile phone (“Computer”). We process personal data in a manner that is in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), GDPR-based legislation, and other applicable privacy laws.

By using the Service, you understand and agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service (“Users”).

What kinds of information do we collect?

Information you provide

We collect the following information that you provide directly to us:

• a. Your name;
• b. Your phone number;
• c. Communications between you and Chestford Academy (e.g., Service-related emails).

Log file information

We collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Service. This log file information may include details such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.

Analytics services (non-personally identifiable information only)

We use third-party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your device or our Service, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assists us in improving the Service. The tools use ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your device, to collect log information and behavior information in an anonymous form. We collect and use this analytics information with analytics information from other Users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual User.

Google Analytics: Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits by disabling cookies.

Remarketing

Chestford Academy uses remarketing services to advertise on third-party websites to you after you visited our Service. We, and our third-party vendors, use cookies to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past visits to our Service.

• Google: Google AdWords remarketing service is provided by Google Inc. You can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads by visiting the Google Ads Settings page. Google also recommends installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for your web browser. This provides visitors with the ability to prevent their data from being collected and used by Google Analytics. For more information on Google’s privacy practices, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page.
• LinkedIn Insight Tag: The LinkedIn Insight Tag is a piece of lightweight JavaScript code that we have added to our websites to enable in-depth campaign reporting and help us unlock valuable insights about our website visitors. We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to track conversions, retarget website visitors, and unlock additional insights about members interacting with our LinkedIn ads. The LinkedIn Insight Tag enables the collection of metadata such as IP address information, timestamps, and events such as page views. All data is encrypted. The LinkedIn browser cookie is stored in a visitor’s browser until they delete the cookie or it expires. You can opt out of cookies from LinkedIn on your LinkedIn settings page, and we recommend you read their Cookie Policy for more information.
• Facebook Pixel: We use the “visitor action pixels” from Facebook Inc. on our website. This allows us to track user behavior after they have been redirected to our website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us; we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which is why we are informing you based on our knowledge of the situation. Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Usage Policy. You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. You can object to the collection of your data by Facebook Pixel, or to the use of your data for the purpose of displaying Facebook ads in your account settings. Facebook is certified under the US-EU Privacy Shield Agreement and thus guarantees compliance with European data protection legislation.
