2. Scope of this policy

When this Privacy Policy applies

This Privacy Policy applies when you visit the website, create a learner account, log in, access PageTurners, use your learner dashboard, complete learning activities, contact us or interact with other functions of the platform.

Separate privacy information may be provided where a specific Erasmus+ activity, event, pilot activity, questionnaire, research process or project activity requires additional personal data processing.

3. Personal data we may collect

Categories of personal data

The personal data processed depends on how you use the platform and which functions you access.

Account and registration data

Information submitted when creating or managing a learner account, such as your name, username, email address and other information requested by the registration form.

Authentication data

Information needed to manage login and account security. Passwords are intended to be protected through appropriate technical security measures rather than stored as readable plain text.

Learning and course data

Information connected with PageTurners access and participation, such as enrolment, lesson progress, completed activities, quiz results, completion status and other learning records where these functions are enabled.

Technical and log data

Technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, access time, requested pages, error information and security logs may be processed when you use the website.

Communication data

Information you provide when contacting us, requesting support or communicating about your account, PageTurners access or learning activities.

Cookie and preference data

Information about cookie preferences, consent choices and related technical records may be processed through the website’s consent management system.

4. Why we process personal data

Purposes of processing

Provide platform access

To create and manage learner accounts, support login and provide access to the learning environment.

Deliver PageTurners

To provide access to PageTurners, lessons, activities, learning materials and other enabled educational functions.

Support learning progress

To record progress and allow learners to continue their learning where course tracking functions are enabled.

Maintain security

To prevent misuse, protect accounts, investigate technical problems and maintain the security and integrity of the platform.

Provide support

To answer questions, resolve account problems and respond to requests concerning access to the platform or PageTurners.

Manage preferences

To remember privacy and cookie choices and manage consent where consent is required.

Meet legal obligations

To comply with applicable legal, regulatory, security or data protection obligations.

Improve the service

Where legally permitted, to understand technical performance, identify problems and improve accessibility and functionality.

5. Legal bases

Our legal basis for processing

We process personal data only where an appropriate legal basis applies. Depending on the specific purpose, processing may rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

Performance of a contract

Where processing is necessary to provide a service you request, such as creating and managing access to your learner account and learning environment.

Legitimate interests

Where processing is necessary for legitimate interests such as website security, fraud prevention, service administration, troubleshooting and appropriate improvement of the platform, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Legal obligation

Where processing is necessary to comply with an obligation imposed by applicable law.

Consent

Where you have freely given consent for a specific purpose, for example where consent is required for non-essential cookies or another optional processing activity.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

6. Learner accounts

Registration, login and dashboard use

When you register for a learner account, we process information needed to create, administer and secure that account.

After logging in, information about your access to PageTurners and your learning activity may be associated with your account where the platform’s course tracking functions are enabled.

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for notifying us if you believe your account has been accessed without authorisation.

7. PageTurners learning data

Data processed during course participation

PageTurners is a self-paced online learning course. Depending on the functions enabled on the platform, we may process information about course access, lesson completion, activity participation, quiz results and overall progress.

This information is used to operate the learning environment, allow learners to continue their course and provide enabled learning functions.

We do not ask learners to submit special categories of personal data as part of ordinary course participation unless a separate activity clearly explains why such information is required and identifies an appropriate legal basis.

8. Young learners

Privacy of children and young people

This educational platform and the PageTurners course may be relevant to young people. We recognise that personal data relating to children and young people requires particular care and clear information.

We aim to collect only information that is reasonably necessary for account administration, learning access, security and enabled educational functions.

Where consent is relied upon as the legal basis for an online service offered directly to a child, applicable age and parental authorisation requirements will be respected.

Parents, guardians and young users may contact the PageTurners Erasmus+ project team using the privacy contact details in this policy if they have questions about personal data processing.

9. Cookies and similar technologies

How cookies are used

The website may use cookies and similar technologies for functions such as security, login sessions, language preferences, consent management and other website features.

Where non-essential cookies or similar technologies require consent, they should not be activated until an appropriate consent choice has been made.

You can use the cookie consent controls available on the website to manage your preferences. More detailed information is available in our Cookie Policy.

10. Who may receive personal data?

Service providers and recipients

We may use carefully selected service providers to support the operation of the website and learning platform. Depending on the services actually used, these may include:

Hosting and infrastructure providers

Providers supporting website hosting, storage, technical infrastructure, backups and platform availability.

Website and learning technology

Technical systems used to operate website accounts, authentication, PageTurners delivery and enabled learning functions.

Email and communication providers

Providers used for account-related messages, email confirmation, support or other necessary communications.

Security and technical support

Providers or authorised specialists supporting security, maintenance, troubleshooting and protection of the platform.

Consent management services

Tools used to record and manage cookie or privacy preferences where applicable.

Public authorities

Authorities, courts or other bodies where disclosure is required by applicable law or a valid legal process.

Service providers should process personal data only for authorised purposes and subject to appropriate contractual, confidentiality and security requirements where required by law.

11. Erasmus+ project context

Project partners and educational cooperation

The platform contains educational resources developed through the PageTurners Erasmus+ project and European cooperation activities.

The fact that an organisation is a PageTurners or Erasmus+ project partner does not automatically mean that it receives personal data from learner accounts.

Personal data will only be shared with a project partner or another organisation where there is a defined purpose, an appropriate legal basis and any other safeguards required by applicable law.

12. International data transfers

Processing outside the European Economic Area

Some technical service providers may process personal data in countries outside the European Economic Area.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, appropriate steps are taken as required by applicable data protection law. Depending on the circumstances, safeguards may include an adequacy decision, approved Standard Contractual Clauses or another legally recognised transfer mechanism.

13. How long we keep data

Data retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal, contractual, security and accountability requirements.

Active account data

Generally retained while an account remains active and for an appropriate period afterwards where necessary for administration, security or legal obligations.

Learning records

Retained for the period necessary to provide learning functions and support appropriate PageTurners course administration.

Technical and security logs

Retained for an appropriate limited period based on security, troubleshooting and technical requirements.

Consent records

Retained where necessary to demonstrate consent choices, manage preferences and meet accountability requirements.

Support communications

Retained for as long as reasonably necessary to resolve the request and manage related follow-up or legal requirements.

Legally required records

Retained for the period required under applicable law where a specific statutory retention obligation applies.

15. Exercising your rights

How to contact us about your data

To exercise a data protection right or ask a privacy-related question, contact:

Organisation: LIFE4YOU Slovenia

Project: PageTurners Erasmus+ project

Privacy contact: PageTurners Erasmus+ project team

Email: life.reborn82@gmail.com

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify identity before acting on a request. This helps protect personal data from unauthorised disclosure or alteration.

16. Right to complain

Supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes applicable data protection law.

In Slovenia, the competent supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia.

You may also have the right to contact another competent supervisory authority, particularly in the European Union Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.

17. Is providing data mandatory?

Information needed to use the platform

Some personal data is necessary to create and manage a learner account, authenticate users, provide requested PageTurners learning functions or maintain platform security.

Where required information is not provided, it may not be possible to create an account, log in, access particular functions or provide the requested service.

Optional information will be identified as optional where appropriate.

18. Automated decision-making

Profiling and automated decisions

We do not currently use learner data to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects on individuals.

If this changes, we will provide appropriate information about the logic involved, the significance and the expected consequences of such processing where required by law.

19. Data security

How we protect personal data

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or unauthorised access.

Security measures are reviewed in light of the nature of the processing, available technology, risks and operational requirements.

No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. Users should also protect their passwords and account credentials and contact us if they suspect unauthorised access.

20. External websites and services

Links to third-party content

The platform may contain links to external websites, Erasmus+ project resources or third-party services.

External websites operate under their own privacy practices and policies. We encourage users to review the privacy information provided by those services before submitting personal data.

21. Changes to this policy

Updates to the Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the platform, processing activities, service providers or applicable legal requirements change.

The date shown at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last updated. Significant changes may be communicated through the website or another appropriate method where required.
