Privacy Policy
We believe in being transparent about how we handle your information. This policy explains what we collect, why we need it, and how we protect it.
Last Updated: This privacy policy reflects our current practices as of 2025. We founded Selovarix in 2017 with a commitment to protecting student privacy.
What Information We Collect
When you use our online programming courses, we collect information that helps us deliver a better learning experience. Here's what we gather and why it matters:
Account Information
When you sign up, we need your name, email address, and a password you create. This lets you access your courses, track your progress, and get support when you need it.
Learning Activity
We track which lessons you've completed, quiz scores, time spent on materials, and areas where you might be struggling. This helps us understand how you learn and where we can improve our content.
Payment Details
If you enroll in paid courses, we collect billing information through secure payment processors. We don't store your full credit card details on our servers.
Technical Data
Like most websites, we collect IP addresses, browser types, device information, and how you navigate through our platform. This helps us fix bugs and optimize performance.
How We Use Your Information
Your data serves specific purposes that directly benefit your learning experience:
- Delivering course content and tracking your progress through lessons
- Sending important updates about courses you're enrolled in
- Providing technical support when you run into issues
- Improving our courses based on how students interact with material
- Preventing fraud and maintaining platform security
- Analyzing which topics students find most challenging
We don't sell your personal information to third parties. We're not in the data business—we're in the education business.
Information Sharing
We share your information only in limited circumstances:
Service Providers
We work with companies that help us run the platform—payment processors, email services, hosting providers. These partners can only use your data to provide services to us, not for their own purposes.
Legal Requirements
If we're legally required to disclose information (court orders, government requests), we'll do so. We'll notify you when possible unless prohibited by law.
Business Transfers
If Selovarix is acquired or merged with another company, your information would transfer as part of that transaction. You'd be notified of any such change.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. This includes:
- Encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all data transmission
- Regular security audits and vulnerability testing
- Limited employee access to personal data
- Secure backup systems for disaster recovery
No system is perfectly secure. If we discover a data breach affecting your information, we'll notify you promptly and explain what happened.
Your Rights and Choices
You have control over your personal information:
| Right | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Access | Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you |
| Correction | Update or fix inaccurate information in your account |
| Deletion | Request removal of your account and associated data |
| Opt-out | Unsubscribe from marketing emails (course updates still sent) |

To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below. We'll respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the platform. You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features won't work properly.
We use analytics tools to see which pages students visit most and where they spend time. This helps us know what's working and what isn't. These tools don't identify you personally—they show us patterns across all users.
Student Data Protection
Since we serve students from various regions across Australia, we comply with relevant privacy regulations. For students under 18, we require parental consent before collecting personal information.
Course instructors can see limited information about students enrolled in their courses—names, progress data, and submitted assignments. They can't access your payment information or other personal details.
Data Retention
We keep your information as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we'll delete most personal data within 90 days. Some information might be retained longer for legal compliance or to resolve disputes.
Course completion records are kept to verify certificates and credentials. Even if you delete your account, these records remain in our system.
Changes to This Policy
We update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect new features or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email and post the updated policy on this page.
The date at the top shows when this policy was last revised. Continuing to use Selovarix after changes means you accept the updated terms.
Third-Party Links
Our courses sometimes link to external resources—documentation sites, coding tools, reference materials. We're not responsible for how these third-party sites handle your information. Check their privacy policies before sharing data.
