Selling with Trust Information on Privacy Policy Requirements for Course Creators -

Get ready. It's time to understand the reason why websites built on course content may require privacy policies.

It's probably not the most exciting subject, but it's one of the most important.

Privacy is becoming a bigger and greater issue. Customers are demanding that webmasters be able to safeguard their privacy. If they do not manage to do so, it could be very costly for not disclosing the privacy policies for your website.

If the site of your school has collected data under the guidelines, you're legally required to give specific details in order to make sure that visitors know what you're doing with the information they provide.

This article (and the webinar) will provide course creators with essential information required to create guidelines for their websites should they're required by certain course-creator websites, and also the most effective way to put the appropriate policy in the first place (and make sure you ensure they are up-to-date in the process of time).

Before we you begin, be sure to keep in mind that this webinar and document does not constitute legal advice, and only serves as informational purposes. Contact an attorney in the area you live in for help for your legal compliance requirements.

What are the data that are subject to regulation?

Names, email addresses and IP addresses are being regulated by a variety of privacy laws throughout the world. If you're collecting these kinds of data classified as private, it's possible that you need to have an Privacy Policy regardless of the country you're situated in.

It's already a major conclusion: the governments who create privacy laws do not take into account which part of the globe the business you operate in. They're focused on protecting the privacy of their customers. So if you're collecting regulated data from many sources, you could be necessary to adhere to various privacy laws, and provide the required declarations under each (yes every privacy law differs).

Do you think the collection of information under regulations is a bad decision?

Not at all! The only thing is making an announcement of the event.

Data collection including email addresses, names, and IP addresses helps your users enjoy a great experience when visiting your website. Additionally, it helps enhance your website to make your site in the future.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the fact that you must be aware of the privacy practices you employ and make sure your policies are specific to your site that contain the proper data you're specifically bound to submit according to the law(s) pertinent for your website.

Does your website course collect regulated data?

Virtually all modern websites collect limited data. This is necessary for ensuring that spammers aren't attempting to use contact forms to obtain information as it is impossible to process payments in an alternative method. Thus, the collection of data is typical on websites and is likely to be more prevalent than you imagine.

   Common attributes of platforms that gather the following information that is required to be protected by regulation:  

• Memberships and registration for courses.
• Accepting and processing payment
• Videos embedded by 3rd company companies
• Use triggers to engage
• Rewarding your Learners
• Email drips
• Discussion forums
• Integrity
• Quizzes

HTML0 Common integrations where course creators can share their information with the third-party:

• Embedding 3rd party videos in lessons (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.)
• Integrations from payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, etc.)
• Automatic renewal notifications (Mailgun, ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp and others.)
• Email newsletter subscription forms (Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Constant Contact, etc.)
• Data transfer providers (Zapier, etc.)

Why should I be concerned?

It's simple to set up policies for your website to boost revenue while staying out of non-compliance with the law or legal action. Your policies that you put in your website can help to build trust and help comply with the law.

Privacy won't go out of fashion (if ever it is important) and the inability to implement a completely compliant Privacy Policy could put webmasters in trouble with regard to privacy law (where the penalties begin at $2500 per site visitor who's rights have been violated by you).

Consider going to the webinar. We'll teach you the fundamentals of web-related guidelines and the most efficient method to get the most appropriate guidelines and how to keep them up date!

So what can you do?
