c) Allow Users to register with a Group on the Platform and create a personal account: the Processing of Personal Data is necessary to allow Users to access to the Platform and, subsequently, use the License and any refusal prevents the User from using the License according to the provisions of the General Terms and Conditions.

k) Perform statistical analysis, market research, improve the use of the License and the Services of WeSchool by Users. Where possible, to achieve this purpose WeSchool uses anonymous data (data that do not identify or make Users identifiable and which, therefore, do not constitute Personal Data): the Processing of Personal Data is optional and any refusal by the User prevents the latter from using the License and WeSchool’s Services more akin to User’s own preferences, without prejudice to the use of the License. 

l) Comply with legal obligations and enable WeSchool to ascertain, exercise and defend its rights in court or before any other competent authority: the Processing of Personal Data is necessary to protect the legal position, rights and interests of WeSchool with regards to the execution, interpretation and fulfilment of the General Terms and Conditions.

Once these terms expired, WeSchool will automatically erase the Personal Data collected or transform it into an irreversibly anonymous form.

Profiling is carried out by WeSchool as follows:

 

a) context: Profiling can be associated both with WeSchool’s offering the Services on the Platform (by means of, for example, personalised Didactic Communication) and with the performance of marketing activities relating to WeSchool and/or third parties, as better described in point 4 above. Therefore, if the User accesses the Platform exclusively to use the Services and objects to WeSchool marketing (point 4 lett. f) or has not consented to third-party marketing (point 4 lett. h), the Profiling will only be carried out in connection with the Services, for improving for example the content of the Didactic Communication;

 

b) object: information concerning Users, e.g. age, education, location of the School of reference (where available), the type of Services used (e.g. educational courses);

 

c) legal basis: consent expressed, for example, by Teachers, Adult Learners, and Parents (on behalf of the Young Learners) flagging a box on the Platform;

 

d) rationale of Processing: (i) analysis and evaluation of the information collected regarding the Users as per letter b) on a statistical basis through the processing and comparison of all User Personal Data on the Platform; and (ii) classification of Users within homogeneous categories of Users to analyse or make predictions regarding their possible preferences;

 

e) purpose: to customise the Services and marketing activities based on User possible preferences and, therefore, improve Users’ degree of satisfaction with the Services provided on the Platform and in receiving WeSchool and/or third-party commercial and promotional communications. Profiling is therefore aimed at making predictions regarding the preferences and the future choices of the Users, based on the didactic content of the Platform;

 

f) effects for Users: use of the Services on the Platform or receipt of commercial communications that are in line with the interests and preferences expressed by Users in browsing the Platform and using the Services. In no way does WeSchool Profiling: i) constitute an automated decision-making process whereby legal or similarly significant effects derive for Users; ii) affect the behaviour and training or purchasing choices of Users; iii) have a prolonged and permanent impact for Users, considering that Personal Data collected by WeSchool can be independently updated at any time by Users; or iv) discriminate against Users.

In accordance with the GDPR, Users, in particular a Parent in the Parent’s and the Young Learner’s name and on their behalf, have the right, for the period as per point 8 of this Privacy Policy, to:

b) ask WeSchool for access to the Personal Data and information regarding the Processing, as well as request an electronic copy, unless otherwise specifically requested by the User (Article 15 of the GDPR);

d) request, for specific reasons (e.g. unlawful processing, withdrawal of consent, non-existence of the purpose for processing), the erasure of the Personal Data without undue delay (Article 17 of the GDPR);

 

e) in certain circumstances (e.g. inaccurate Personal Data, unlawful processing, exercise of a right before court) request that the Processing be restricted (Article 18 of the GDPR);

 

f) with reference to the Processing under point 4 f) and i) (in the latter case, if anonymous data were not used), object to the Processing of the Personal Data at any time by sending an email to WeSchool (Article 21 of the GDPR);

 

g) in cases of automated processing, receive the Personal Data in a readable format, for the purpose of communicating them to a third party, or, where technically feasible, request that WeSchool send the Personal Data directly to the third party (right to Personal Data portability – Article 20 of the GDPR);

 

h) be informed by WeSchool without undue delay of any breaches or unauthorised access by third parties to WeSchool’s systems that contain the Personal Data (data breaches – Article 34 of the GDPR);

 

i) lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of the EU country where the User resides, works or where the User believes that his or her rights have been breached (Article 77 of the GDPR).

 

For additional information on the terms and conditions for exercising their rights, Users can consult the GDPR at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=OJ:L:2016:119:TOC, or contact WeSchool as per point 2 of this Privacy Policy.
