Movana Privacy Policy

We know privacy can be a big, sometimes confusing topic—especially in the fast-moving world of online education. At Movana, we're committed to making our privacy practices simple to understand and transparent, so you can focus on learning with confidence. This policy covers how we collect, use, and protect your personal data while you’re using Movana’s services. Whether you’re a student, instructor, or just browsing, your trust matters to us.

Throughout this document, you’ll find detailed information on what kinds of data we collect, how we put that information to use, and the steps we take to keep it safe. We’ve tried to avoid legal jargon wherever possible—if you still have questions, don’t worry, there are ways to reach out for more details. Our aim is to respect your privacy rights while giving you a smooth, enriching educational experience.

As you read through, you’ll notice sections on third-party tools, how we meet regulatory requirements, and special rules that might apply to certain users. We invite you to review this policy regularly, as we update it from time to time to reflect new features, changes in the law, or just a better way to explain things.

When you interact with Movana, we gather a variety of information to help deliver our services, improve your learning journey, and make sure our platform works as intended. Some of this information comes directly from you, while other data is gathered automatically as you use our website or mobile app. We might also receive certain details about you from trusted third-party partners.

Our platform collects information in several ways. For instance, when you create an account or enroll in a course, you’ll be asked for details like your name, username, password, and sometimes your date of birth. We also track your progress, quiz results, and participation in learning activities to provide the resources you need.

Usage data is gathered automatically as you browse or learn with us. This might include device information, browser type, IP address, and the actions you take on the platform—like which courses you view or how often you log in. Sometimes, if you link a third-party service (like a social login), we collect certain information from that service as well, with your permission of course.

• Account and Profile Details: When you register, we ask for essential info such as your email address, display name, and a secure password. If you choose, you can add more optional details to personalize your profile for other learners.
• Learning Activity Records: To provide your educational experience, we collect data on your course enrollments, lesson completions, quiz attempts, discussion participation, and feedback you give. This helps us track your progress and recommend relevant content.
• Technical and Usage Data: Every time you visit Movana, certain data is recorded automatically—things like your device ID, browser type, operating system, and activity logs. This assists us in keeping the platform secure and running smoothly.
• Third-Party Information: If you sign up or log in using Google, Facebook, or another partner, we may receive information from them—such as your name or profile picture—based on your privacy settings with those providers.

We only collect information that’s necessary for the purposes explained in this policy. And, whenever possible, we let you know why we’re asking for certain details before you hand them over. If you ever feel unsure about what’s being collected, you’re always welcome to review your settings or ask for clarification.

At Movana, your data isn’t just sitting around unused—it’s essential for making your learning experience meaningful and secure. We use the information you share with us, as well as details we collect behind the scenes, for a range of reasons related to education, platform improvement, and legal compliance.

First and foremost, we need your personal data to create and manage your Movana account, authenticate your logins, and deliver the courses and resources you’ve signed up for. Our system uses your activity and progress data to recommend personalized content, track your achievements, and help you reach your educational goals.

Occasionally, we use the data to analyze trends, spot areas where learners might struggle, and make improvements to our platform. We might also use your info to communicate updates, send reminders, or respond to your requests—always with the intention of helping you get the most out of Movana.

• Providing Educational Services: We use your details to set up your account, enroll you in courses, and make sure your learning materials are accessible and relevant. Without this, you wouldn’t be able to take full advantage of our resources.
• Improving the Platform: By reviewing aggregated usage data, we’re able to fix bugs, roll out new features, and make the site more user-friendly. Occasionally, we conduct surveys or seek direct feedback to guide these improvements.
• Personalizing Your Experience: Using your learning history, quiz results, and preferences, we can suggest courses or resources that are better suited to your interests and current skill level.
• Legal and Compliance Purposes: Sometimes, we need to keep and review certain records to meet local or international laws, resolve disputes, or enforce our Terms of Service. This is done carefully and only when truly necessary.

We never use your personal data for unrelated marketing or sell it to third parties. If our reasons for using your data ever change in a significant way, we’ll make sure to notify you and, where required, ask for your permission again.

Movana works with a handful of trusted third-party partners to make the platform work better, keep things secure, and give you access to extra features. These outside services might collect some data from you, either directly or through your interactions with Movana. We do our best to work only with partners that share our respect for privacy and follow strong data protection standards.

For example, we may use analytics tools to understand how people use our platform, video streaming services to deliver course content, or payment processors to handle course purchases. Each of these third parties might collect information like your IP address, device type, or interaction history in order to provide their service or improve ours.

While we aim to control what’s shared as much as possible, some of these providers collect data independently, according to their own policies. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any external service you interact with through Movana, especially if you sign in using social media or use integrated features.

• Analytics and Tracking: We use services like Google Analytics to see which pages are most popular or where users might get stuck. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies to gather usage data, which helps us improve the learning experience without identifying you personally.
• Content Delivery Partners: Some videos, files, or interactive lessons are hosted or streamed through third-party platforms. These services may track when you access content or how long you engage with it, to ensure smooth delivery and monitor for technical issues.
• Social and Login Integrations: If you choose to sign in with a Google, Facebook, or other social account, those companies may share basic profile info with us, but they may also collect data about your Movana activity for their own purposes.
• Payment Processors: When you purchase a course or subscription, payment information is handled directly by secure third-party processors. We never store your full credit card details on our servers, but may keep transaction history or payment status as part of your account record.

Whenever possible, we only share the minimum data required for these third parties to do their job. We carefully review their privacy practices before integrating any external service, and we do not let them use your data for marketing without your express consent.

Your trust is important to us, and protecting your personal information is one of our top priorities. Movana uses a layered approach to security, combining modern technology, staff awareness, and clear procedures to help keep your data safe from unauthorized access or misuse.

We store your data in secure environments, using encryption and access controls to make sure only the right people can see or change your information. Our team receives regular training on privacy and security, so they know how to handle sensitive details responsibly and spot potential risks before they become problems.

In the unlikely event of a data breach or security incident, we have response plans in place to act quickly, minimize harm, and notify affected users as required by law. We also conduct routine audits to check that our systems are working as they should and that your data remains protected at all times.

• Secure Systems and Encryption: All personal data is stored behind strong firewalls, and sensitive information—like passwords or payment data—is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols.
• Staff Training and Access Controls: Only authorized employees can access personal data, and only when absolutely necessary for their job. We regularly train our staff to recognize privacy issues and handle data with care.
• Ongoing Audits and Testing: We routinely review our security practices, test our systems for vulnerabilities, and make improvements based on the latest best practices in data protection.
• Incident Response Plans: If something ever goes wrong, we have detailed procedures for investigating, containing, and reporting security incidents so we can act fast and transparently.

While no online service can promise absolute security, we do everything in our power to reduce risks and stay ahead of potential threats. If you notice anything suspicious or have concerns about your data, we encourage you to let us know right away.

Our platform sometimes includes links to other websites or resources that aren’t operated by Movana. These might be recommended readings, partner sites, or external tools you’ll find useful in your studies. While we only share links we believe are safe and relevant, we don’t control the privacy practices of those sites.

If you click through to another website, their privacy policies will apply to any data you provide there—not ours. We strongly suggest taking a moment to review the privacy policy of any third-party site before sharing your personal details or signing up for their services. Not all sites treat your information the same way we do.

Movana isn’t responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of external sites. If you ever have questions or concerns about a linked website, please reach out to their support team directly for more information.

Certain services or features on Movana may have extra rules or privacy guidelines. For example, courses designed specifically for minors might include additional parental consent requirements or restrictions on how data is collected and used. Enterprise or institutional clients may have custom agreements that outline different data handling practices.

If you’re participating in a special program, contest, or research study through Movana, you may be asked to review and agree to additional terms. These will be provided clearly before you participate, so you can make an informed choice about your involvement.

We do our best to highlight whenever extra policies apply. If something isn’t clear, or if you need more details about how your information is handled in a specific context, please consult the relevant rules or reach out for clarification.

Movana is committed to respecting your privacy rights and meeting the requirements of all relevant data protection laws. We follow the rules set out by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and other applicable laws wherever our services are offered.

We take your rights seriously, including your right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. If you’re located in a region with specific privacy protections, we provide the necessary options and information to help you exercise those rights. Our team routinely reviews legal updates to keep our practices in line with current standards.

Whenever required, we’ll ask for your explicit consent before collecting or processing sensitive information. We also respect requests to limit, withdraw, or restrict the use of your data, provided these choices don’t conflict with our legal obligations or the security of our services.

If you have concerns about how Movana handles your personal information or believe your privacy rights have been violated, you have the right to raise the issue with the appropriate data protection authority. We want to work with you to resolve any concerns openly and fairly.
