Lastly, we can share data for other business purposes only if we have your exclusive consent. The list of sub-processors is provided in the separate DPA annex.

5. Security

   We use appropriate security based on the type and sensitivity of data being stored. As with any internet-enabled system, there is always a risk of unauthorized access, so it’s important to protect your password and to contact us if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account. Mini Course Generator urges its admins and learners to enforce strong password policies. Mini Course Generator strongly urges its customer organizations to integrate SSO with the application for a better access management system.

   Mini Course Generator takes appropriate organizational and technical security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal data that we collect and store. Mini Course Generator deploys industry-standard security solutions and measures for data privacy and security. Mini Course Generator complies with privacy laws like GDPR. Personal data is processed in EU and in case data gets processed by our sub-processor in a non-EU country, DPA with EU standard contractual clauses is in place.

   These measures vary based on the type and sensitivity of the data. Unfortunately, however, no system can be 100% secured, so we cannot guarantee that communications between you and Mini Course Generator, the services, or any information provided to us in connection with the data we collect through the services will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. Your credentials are an important part of our security system, and it is your responsibility to protect it.
