What Data We Collect

We collect data that is necessary to provide courses, operate the learning platform, and support case-based instruction. Data collection is described below, separated into information you provide, data collected automatically, and data obtained from third parties.

Data You Provide

When enrolling, participating in labs or communicating with support, you supply data required to manage your account and learning progress. Examples highlight why each item is used in practice.

  • Registration details: name, email address and chosen username to create your learner profile and assign scenario groups.
  • Billing information: invoice address and payment details necessary to process course fees and issue receipts.
  • Course content: code submissions, project files and notes uploaded as part of practical labs and case studies.
  • Communications: messages platform with instructors or support to resolve issues in real training scenarios.
  • Feedback and assessments: course evaluations and peer review comments used to improve scenario exercises and learning outcomes.
  • Optional profile data: professional background, skills and consented CV data used to match participants to relevant case studies.

Data Collected Automatically

Technical and usage information is collected automatically to operate the platform, secure content, and analyze how scenario modules are used so we can refine practical exercises.

  • Device and browser information such as browser type and version, operating system and device model.
  • IP address and approximate geolocation to support session security and localize content for Swiss participants.
  • Usage data: pages visited, time spent on scenario modules, and interaction with lab resources.
  • Performance logs and error reports to troubleshoot issues with notebooks, deployment exercises and simulation environments.
  • Cookie identifiers used to maintain session state and remember learning preferences.
  • Aggregated analytics used to evaluate the effectiveness of specific case studies and course pathways.

Third-Party Data

We may receive personal data from authorized third parties to support course delivery, compliance and community functions. Transfers are limited to necessary content and service provisioning.

  • Payment processors that handle billing and invoicing information securely on our behalf.
  • Learning platform providers hosting labs and notebooks required to run scenario-based exercises.
  • Identity verification services used in specific professional training tracks where identity proof is required.
3

Purposes of Processing

Collected data is processed only for explicit, specified purposes related to course delivery, administration and improvement of scenario-based learning experiences.

  • Account creation and management to enable participation in practical modules and instructor interactions.
  • Course delivery: providing access to labs, recordings and scenario materials appropriate to your enrolled track.
  • Billing and tax compliance for invoice issuance and record keeping in Switzerland.
  • Support and incident resolution for technical issues with notebooks, datasets and deployment exercises.
  • Quality improvement by analysing anonymized usage patterns of case studies and adjusting content accordingly.
  • Security and fraud prevention to detect unauthorized access and protect participant data.
  • Legal compliance: responding to lawful requests from authorities where required.
  • Optional communications, such as course updates or related opportunities, where explicit consent has been obtained.
4

Legal Basis for Processing

Processing activities are based on applicable legal grounds such as performance of contract, legitimate interests, legal obligations and consent where appropriate. Examples illustrate which basis applies in practical scenarios.

  • Performance of a contract — processing necessary to provide the course you enrolled in, for example granting access to labs and materials.
  • Legitimate interests — analysing anonymized usage metrics to improve scenario-based learning while assessing and balancing participant privacy.
  • Legal obligation — retention of certain billing records and compliance data in accordance with Swiss law.
  • Consent — for marketing communications or optional profile details that enhance scenario matching when you explicitly agree.
5

Data Protection and Compliance

If you are an EU or EEA resident, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Below are practical descriptions of those rights and how to exercise them in the context of training and case work.

  • Right of access — you can request a copy of personal data we hold about you, such as registration and submitted project files.
  • Right to rectification — you may ask us to correct inaccurate information in your profile or billing details.
  • Right to erasure — you can request deletion of your personal data where retention is no longer necessary for the purposes described, subject to legal and contractual limitations.
  • Right to restriction of processing — you may request limits on processing while disputes about accuracy or legality of processing are resolved.
  • Right to data portability — where applicable, you can request a machine-readable copy of data you provided, for example course submissions and profile contents.
  • Right to object — you can object to certain processing based on legitimate interests, such as profiling for optional marketing, and we will assess and respond based on legal requirements.

International Data Transfers

Where data is transferred outside Switzerland or the EEA to subprocessors, we ensure appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections. Transfers are limited and tied to specific operational needs like hosting or analytics.

Typical safeguards include data processing agreements, encryption in transit and at rest, and contractual commitments to uphold privacy standards consistent with Swiss and EU requirements.

9

Data Retention

Data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described, for operational needs and legal obligations. Retention periods are defined with reference to course lifecycle and regulatory requirements.

Account records and profile information are retained for the duration of your active participation and for a defined archival period thereafter to meet administrative needs and legal requirements.

Support and instructor communications are retained for a limited period to enable follow-up on course issues and quality assessments.

System logs and access records required for security and incident analysis are retained according to operational policies and legal obligations.

Upon valid request for deletion, we remove personal data subject to any necessary retention for legal compliance or to complete an active contractual obligation such as issuing final course certificates.

How to exercise your data rights

To exercise any of the data subject rights listed above, submit a request to our privacy team describing the specific right you wish to exercise and the data involved. Include copies of any identification documents if needed to verify your identity. Requests are reviewed by our data protection lead and handled in accordance with applicable Swiss data protection principles. In practice we use case-based steps: we log each request, map the systems involved, run a targeted data search, and then provide the outcome along with a record of actions taken.

[email protected]

We aim to acknowledge receipt of rights requests within 7 business days and to provide a substantive response or next steps within 30 calendar days of verification. Complex requests requiring extended analysis may require additional time; in such cases we will explain the reasons for delay and an estimated completion date.

Marketing and communications

DataNowKurs uses contact details provided during registration to send course updates, schedules, case-study invitations, and occasional offers relevant to Data and AI workflow training. Communications focus on scenarios, practical exercises, and invitations to cohort case reviews. We tailor content based on the learning path you choose and interactions with our platform.

To stop marketing emails, use the unsubscribe link in any marketing message or update your communication preferences in your account settings on DataNowKurs.link. You may also contact our support team to adjust your subscriptions.

Children's privacy

DataNowKurs is designed for adult learners and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 without verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided personal data without consent, we will take steps to delete the information in accordance with applicable rules.

Third-party links and services

Our site and course materials may include links to third-party services, tools, or case study repositories. These third parties have their own privacy terms and practices; DataNowKurs is not responsible for their content or privacy handling.
