How We Use Your Information

Every piece of information we collect serves specific purposes related to your digital illustration career development. We never use your data for unrelated commercial purposes or share it unnecessarily.

Program Delivery and Personalization

Your personal information enables us to create tailored learning experiences that match your career goals in digital illustration. We analyze your skill assessments, portfolio submissions, and learning preferences to recommend appropriate courses, connect you with relevant mentors, and adjust program difficulty levels.

We also use this information to track your progress, provide meaningful feedback on your creative work, and identify areas where additional support might benefit your career development journey.

Communication and Support

We use your contact information to send program updates, deadline reminders, and important announcements about the digital illustration industry. You'll receive personalized feedback on assignments, invitations to portfolio reviews, and notifications about networking opportunities with industry professionals.

Our support team accesses your information when you request help, ensuring they understand your program status and can provide relevant assistance quickly.

Platform Improvement and Research

We analyze aggregated, anonymized data to understand how students progress through our programs, which teaching methods prove most effective, and where curriculum improvements might benefit future learners. This research directly improves our ability to help students succeed in digital illustration careers.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We operate on a principle of minimal sharing. Your personal information stays within our organization unless specific circumstances require limited disclosure for your benefit or legal compliance.

Service Providers and Partners

Certain trusted partners help us deliver our programs effectively. These include payment processors for enrollment transactions, email service providers for program communications, and cloud storage providers for secure data backup. Each partner signs strict confidentiality agreements and can only use your information for specified services.

Industry mentors and guest instructors may access limited information about participating students—typically just names, program status, and relevant portfolio pieces—to provide meaningful guidance during workshops or one-on-one sessions.

Legal Requirements and Safety

We may disclose personal information when required by Denmark law, court orders, or government regulations. We'll notify you of such requests unless legally prohibited. In rare cases involving immediate safety concerns, we may share information with appropriate authorities to protect you or others from harm.

Business Transfers

Should Kreativ Webskole be acquired by or merge with another educational organization, student information would transfer to ensure program continuity. We'd notify all affected students and ensure the new organization maintains equivalent privacy protections.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your information requires multiple layers of security, from technical safeguards to staff training. We've invested significantly in security measures that exceed industry standards for educational institutions.

Technical Safeguards

All personal information is encrypted during transmission and storage using advanced encryption standards. Our servers are housed in secure Denmark data centers with 24/7 monitoring, redundant backups, and strict access controls. Regular security audits and penetration testing help us identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they become risks.

We use multi-factor authentication for all staff accounts and maintain detailed access logs to track who accesses what information and when.

Administrative Safeguards

Only essential staff members have access to personal information, and access levels are strictly limited based on job responsibilities. All employees undergo comprehensive privacy training and sign confidentiality agreements. We conduct regular privacy impact assessments and update our procedures based on emerging best practices.

Incident Response

Despite our best efforts, security incidents can occur. We maintain a detailed incident response plan that includes immediate containment, thorough investigation, affected party notification, and corrective measures. Any security incident affecting personal information will be reported to affected individuals within 72 hours and to relevant authorities as required by law.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

You maintain significant control over your personal information throughout your relationship with Kreativ Webskole. These rights aren't just theoretical—we've built systems to make exercising them straightforward and responsive.

Access and Portability

You can request a complete copy of all personal information we hold about you at any time. This includes your enrollment details, progress records, portfolio submissions, communication history, and any assessments or feedback. We'll provide this information in a commonly used, machine-readable format within 30 days of your request.

If you're transferring to another educational program, we can provide your information in formats that make the transition smoother while respecting both institutions' privacy requirements.

Correction and Updates

You can update your personal information through your student portal at any time. For more significant changes or corrections to academic records, contact our student services team. We'll update your information promptly and notify any third parties who received the incorrect information if necessary for their legitimate purposes.

Deletion and Retention

You can request deletion of your personal information, though we may need to retain certain records for legitimate educational or legal purposes. Academic transcripts, for example, may be retained permanently to verify your program completion for future employers or other educational institutions.

We'll explain what information we can delete immediately, what we must retain and why, and how long retention periods last. Most marketing and communication preferences can be deleted immediately, while academic records follow established retention schedules.

Communication Preferences

You control how and when we communicate with you. Opt out of marketing emails while continuing to receive essential program updates, or adjust notification frequencies to match your preferences. Emergency communications and essential program information may continue even if you opt out of other communications.

International Students and Data Transfers

While Kreativ Webskole operates primarily in Denmark, we welcome international students into our digital illustration programs. This sometimes requires careful handling of cross-border data transfers to ensure your privacy rights remain protected regardless of your location.

Cross-Border Protections

When we work with international students or service providers, we ensure equivalent privacy protections through contractual agreements, adequacy decisions, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms. Your information receives the same level of protection whether it's processed in Denmark or, when necessary, in other jurisdictions with adequate privacy laws.

Regional Privacy Rights

Students from regions with specific privacy regulations (such as the European Union's GDPR) retain those privacy rights when participating in our programs. We honor deletion requests, data portability rights, and other regional requirements regardless of where program delivery occurs.

Children's Privacy

Our digital illustration programs are designed for adult learners aged 18 and older. We don't knowingly collect personal information from minors under 18 without explicit parental consent. If we discover we've inadvertently collected information from someone under 18, we'll delete it immediately unless we have documented parental consent.

Parents or guardians who believe we may have collected information from their minor child should contact us immediately. We'll investigate and take appropriate action to protect the child's privacy.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website and learning platform use various technologies to enhance your experience and improve our services. You have choices about how these technologies interact with your devices and what information they collect.

Essential Cookies

Some cookies are necessary for basic website functionality—keeping you logged in, remembering your language preferences, and maintaining your shopping cart during enrollment. These essential cookies don't track you across other websites and contain minimal personal information.

Analytics and Performance

We use analytics tools to understand how students navigate our platform, which resources prove most helpful, and where technical improvements might enhance the learning experience. This information is aggregated and anonymized before analysis.

Your Cookie Choices

Most browsers allow you to control cookie settings, block certain types of cookies, or delete existing cookies. Be aware that disabling certain cookies might limit website functionality or require you to re-enter information more frequently.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

Privacy laws, technology, and our programs evolve over time. We'll update this privacy policy as needed to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Significant changes will be communicated directly to active students and posted prominently on our website.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially before sharing new types of information or participating in new program components. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when the most recent changes were made.

Continued use of our services after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with significant changes, contact us to discuss your options, which may include data deletion or program withdrawal with appropriate refunds.
