Hukhta Privacy Policy

This privacy policy describes the personal data we collect, the purposes for which it is used, and your choices regarding its use.

Personal Data We Collect

We will not collect additional categories of personal data or use the personal data we collected for materially different, unrelated or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

Information That is Not Personal Data

We may create and use aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized data from personal data we collect for business purposes, such as service improvement and promotion, without sharing information that identifies you.

Tracking Tools, Interest Based Advertising And Opt-Out

Hukhta and our third-party providers use cookies and other tracking technologies (“Cookies”) on the Services to collect information. Detailed information about the Cookies used (including the purpose for using them), interest-based advertising, how to manage Cookies, and do-not-track signals, can be found in each Hukhta’s respective Cookie Policy, which is linked in the respective company’s privacy statement.

Why We Share Your Personal Data Amongst Company

Hukhta share your personal data amongst each other:

To co-market, co-promote and cross sell our Services to you.
To learn how you use and interact with our Services, for the purposes of improving our Services, including by gathering commercial data and internal analytics on those unique users that subscribe to all or more than one of our Services, and gathering internal analytics on how you engage with one Service when integrated on another Service.
To measure our progress towards corporate goals and key performance indicators, including gathering commercial data related to our subscription Services.
To allow users to sign up for and sign in to multiple Services across Hukhta at one time.
To respond to customer inquiries about our Services, including customer support requests.
To respond to data subject requests under applicable privacy laws.
To distribute and display your content, which may include your username, across one or more of our Services. “Your content”, for purposes of this paragraph, refers only to user generated content you post on our Services. For example, if you post a question or answer on coursehero.com, it may be distributed and displayed on another Hukhta Service, and may include your username.
To protect the rights, property or safety of you, Hukhta, or another party, including doing fraud protection, security and debugging.
To analyze a Hukhta’s IT and IT security infrastructure, to assess compliance with Hukhta security standards and data migration.

Data Security

We seek to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use and disclosure using appropriate physical, technical, organizational and administrative security measures based on the type of personal data and how we are processing that data. You should also help protect your data by appropriately selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-on mechanism; limiting access to your computer or device and browser; and signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Although we work to protect the security of your account and other data that we hold in our records, please be aware that no method of transmitting data over the internet or storing data is completely secure.

Examples of data security measures include scanning our Services on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to or use of our Services as safe as possible; maintaining your personal data behind secured networks that are only accessible by a limited number of persons with special access rights to such systems and who are under obligation to keep the information confidential; and implementing a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal data.

Data Retention

For Services requiring an account, the relevant Hukhta will retain your personal data for as long as you have an open account or as otherwise necessary to provide you with Services. In some cases we retain personal data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. We may further retain information indefinitely in a de-identified, anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally, as described in the policy and permitted under applicable privacy laws.

Changes To This Privacy Policy

We are constantly improving our Services, so we may need to change this policy from time to time, but we will alert you to any material changes by placing a notice on the product specific website to which the changes apply, by sending you an email and/or by some other reasonable means.

Rights Under Effective US State Laws

Exercising Your US State Privacy Rights. To exercise the rights described above, you or your Authorized Agent (defined below) must send us a request that (1) provides sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we have collected personal data, and (2) describes your request in sufficient detail to allow us to understand, evaluate and respond to it. Each request that meets both criteria will be considered a “Valid Request.” We may deny requests that do not meet these criteria. You may appeal any denial by contacting the Hukhta relevant to your request; you can find the contact details for the relevant company in Part Two below. We will only use personal data provided in a Valid Request to verify your identity and complete your request. You do not need an account to submit a Valid Request. We will not charge you a fee for making a Valid Request unless your Valid Request(s) is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that your Valid Request warrants a fee, we will notify you of the fee and explain that decision before completing your request. Please see the Contact Us section for where to submit a Valid Request.

Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under applicable US State privacy laws. We will not deny you our goods or services, charge you different prices or rates, or provide you a lower quality of goods and services if you exercise your rights. However, we may offer different tiers of our Services as allowed by applicable data privacy laws with varying prices, rates or levels of quality of the goods or services you receive related to the value of personal data that we receive from you.
