2.1 Cookies and Data
As

our behalf (like Google Analytics and third-party advertisers) use
server log files and automated data collection tools like cookies, tags,

and data enrichment providers, your social media providers, companies
helping us run promotions and surveys, and advertising companies who
help us promote our Services. We may also share your data as needed for
security, legal compliance, or as part of a corporate restructuring.
Lastly, we can share data in other ways if it is aggregated or
de-identified or if we get your consent.
We may share your data with third parties under the following circumstances or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy:
*
With Your Instructors: We share data that we have about you (except
your email address) with instructors or teaching assistants for courses
you enrol in or request information about, so they can improve their
courses for you and other students. This data may include things like
your city, country, browser language, operating system, device settings,
the site that brought you to Rolonet, and your activities on Rolonet.
If we collect additional data about you (like age or gender), we may
share that too. We will not share your email address with instructors or
teaching assistants. We also enable our instructors to implement Google
Analytics on their course pages to track sources of traffic to their
courses and optimize their course pages.

Instructors: Depending on your settings, your shared content and profile
data maybe publicly viewable, including to other students and
instructors. If you ask a question to an instructor or teaching
assistant, your information (including your name) may also be publicly
viewable by other users depending on your settings.

companies who perform services on our behalf, like payment processing,
data analysis, marketing and advertising services (including retargeted
advertising), email and hosting services, and customer services and
support. These service providers may access your personal data and are
required to use it solely as we direct, to provide our requested
service.
* With Business Partners: We have agreements with other
websites and platforms to distribute our Services and drive traffic to
Rolonet. Depending on your location, we may share your data with these
partners.

our use of third-party analytics tools like Google Analytics and data
enrichment services like Clearbit, we share certain contact information,
Account Data, System Data, Usage Data (as detailed in Section 1), or
de-identified data as needed. De-identified data means data where we’ve
removed things like your name and email address and replaced it with a
token ID. This allows these providers to provide analytics services or
match your data with publicly-available database information (including
contact and social information from other sources). We do this to
communicate with you in a more effective and customized manner.
* To
Power Social Media Features: The social media features in the Services
(like the Facebook Like button) may allow the third-party social media
provider to collect things like your IP address and which page of the
Services you’re visiting, and to set a cookie to enable the feature.
Your interactions with these features are governed by the third-party
company’s privacy policy.
* To Administer Promotions and Surveys: we
may share your data as necessary to administer, market, or sponsor
promotions and surveys you choose to participate in, as required by
applicable law (like to provide a winners list or make required
filings), or in accordance with the rules of the promotion or survey.
*
For Advertising: If we decide to offer to advertise in the future, we
may use and share certain System Data and Usage Data with third-party
advertisers and networks to show general demographic and preference
information among our users. We may also allow advertisers to collect
System Data through Data Collection Tools (as detailed in Section 2.1),
and to use this data to offer you targeted ad delivery to personalize
your user experience (through behavioral advertising) and undertake web
analytics. Advertisers may also share with us the data they collect
about you. To learn more or opt-out from participating ad networks’
behavioral advertising, see Section 6.1 (Your Choices About the Use of
Your Data) below. Note that if you opt-out, you’ll continue to be served

* Reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and other legal agreements;

potential violations of law (or rule or regulation), or security or
technical issues; or
* Reasonably necessary in our discretion to
protect against imminent harm to the rights, property, or safety of
Rolonet, our users, employees, members of the public, or our Services.
* We may also disclose data about you to our auditors and legal
advisors in order to assess our disclosure obligations and rights under
this Privacy Policy.
* During a Change in Control: If Rolonet
undergoes a business transaction like a merger, acquisition, corporate
divestiture, or dissolution (including bankruptcy), or a sale of all or
some of its assets, we may share, disclose, or transfer all of your data

against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of
your personal data that we collect and store. These measures vary based

free from unauthorized access by third parties. Your password is an an
important part of our security system, and it is your responsibility to

Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy was last updated on Dec 5, 2019
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser as you browse the Internet. They can be used to collect, store, and share data about your activities across websites, including on Rolonet. Cookies also allow us to remember things about your visits to Rolonet, like your preferred language, and to make the site easier to use.
We use both session cookies, which expire after a short time or when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain stored in your browser for a set period of time. We use session cookies to identify you during a single browsing session, like when you log into Rolonet. We use persistent cookies where we need to identify you over a longer period, like when you request that we keep you signed in.
Why does Rolonet use cookies and similar technologies?
We use cookies and similar technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, or local shared objects (“flash cookies”), to deliver, measure, and improve our services in various ways. We use these cookies both when you visit our site and services through a browser and through our mobile app. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional data through other methods.
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Authentication and security • To log you into Rolonet
• To protect your security
• To help detect and fight spam, abuse, and other activities that violate Rolonet’s agreements
For example, cookies help authenticate your access to Rolonet and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your accounts.
Preferences • To remember data about your browser and your preferences
• To remember your settings and other choices you’ve made
For example, cookies help us remember your preferred language or the country you’re in, so we can provide content in your preferred language without asking each time you visit.
Analytics and research • To help us improve and understand how people use Rolonet
For example, cookies help us test different versions of Rolonet to see which features or content users prefer, web beacons help us determine which email messages are opened, and cookies help us see how you interact with Rolonet, like the links you click on.
We also work with a number of analytics partners, including Google Analytics and Mixpanel, who use cookies and similar technologies to help us analyze how users use the Services, including by noting the sites from which you arrive. Those service providers may either collect that data themselves or we may disclose it to them.
You can opt-out of some of these services through tools like the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on and Hotjar Opt-Out Cookie.
Personalized content • To customize Rolonet with more relevant content
For example, cookies help us show a personalized list of recommended courses on the homepage.
Advertising • To provide you with more relevant advertising

Please note that where advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertising on other websites and applications, but it will not be tailored to your interests.
When using mobile applications you may also receive tailored in-app advertisements. Apple iOS, Android OS and Microsoft Windows each provide its own instructions on how to control in-app tailored advertising. For other devices and operating systems, you should review your privacy settings or contact your platform operator.
Your privacy options?
