At Dublin Coding School, accessible from dublincoding.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors and customers. The Privacy Policy outlined below contains the types of information that is collected and recorded by Dublin Coding School and how we use it.

 

What type of information do we collect?

There are three types of information that Dublin CODING School collects.

• Information which is generated by our systems (or those of third parties) is collected to track the traffic of our website. This allows us to customise and adapt our marketing solutions.
• Personal information such as contact information, and occasionally billing details, financial and credit information (depending on whether you purchase a product through Dublin CODING School website).
• Information given to us through surveys, registration forms etc.

The type of information that Dublin CODING School collects depends on the type of services that you opt for on our website, on the phone, through sales and in-person at Dublin CODING School events.

In general, the information that we collect is not sensitive information. For example, we do not collect information regarding religion, sexual preference, race, or ethnic origin. Our purpose for collecting information is to provide you with a service or a product.

If it occurs that we require such information to supply a product to you, we will only request that information with your consent.

 

How we use aggregate data

Dublin CODING School collects non-personal information as aggregate data like, how users utilise our website. For example, we monitor the number of visits to our website; we track the number of visits to certain pages and the domain names of our users’ internet service provider.

This aggregate data allows us to study trends and collect insights that would not be readable if the elements of data were viewed in isolation. Gathering this data allows us to understand the workings of our website and services, and in turn, this allows us to improve and enhance our services. We may also use this data with our partners to improve our educational and employment services.
