Although we exercise reasonable care in providing secure transmission of information and storage of the information provide us through the Services, no method of transmission over the Internet, and no means of electronic or physical storage, is absolutely secure. Accordingly, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.

Your Choices Regarding Your Personal Information

Certain local laws establish rights for consumers who are subject to their protections. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation provides for the following rights for individuals whose data is collected in the EU:

Right to request access to your personal data
Right to request correction or deletion of your personal data
Right to object to our use and processing of your personal data
Right to request that we limit our use and processing of your personal data and
Right to request portability of your personal data

While these rights are not absolute – e.g., we do not have to delete your data if we need the data for compliance with a legal obligation – and they are not legally required in every jurisdiction in which we collect data, Digilego wants to make it easy and straightforward for all our users to enjoy these rights, we provide you the ability to exercise certain controls regarding our collection, use, and sharing of your information. Consistent with that approach, we provide you with several choices when it comes to information about you:

Opt-Out of Electronic Communications: You by default opt out of receiving messages from Digilego. If you opt-in you can opt-out in the same manner.
Set Your Browser to Reject Cookies: As mentioned above, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using Digilego’s services, with the drawback that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Close Your Account: If you created a profile or account with us, you can contact us at info@digilego.eu to request that we close a specific digilego account. Please keep in mind that we may continue to retain and use your information, such as your OERs, after you close your account as described in this Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions or otherwise would like to contact us about one of these rights, you can email info@digilego.eu to ask a question or request to exercise one of your rights. We will consider all requests and provide our response within the time period stated by applicable law. We may request you provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to your request – this is solely to protect you, and we will not use any of the information you provide us to confirm your identity for anything other than confirming your identity. In some functions of the Services you may exercise these controls via your account settings in addition to contacting us at the email address above. However, not all of our Services allow you to access, correct, or delete your personal data within your account settings. If applicable, you can make a complaint to the government supervisory authority of your jurisdiction.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Some Services, due to OERs linking to external resources, may include links to third-party websites and services that are not owned or controlled by us, such as GitHub, YouTube, or social media platforms. While digilego members self-moderate the service, some external content provides value that comes at the cost of including third-party websites, services, or content over which Digilego has no control, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. If you choose to use any third-party websites or services, the collection, use, and disclosure of your information on those websites will be subject to the privacy policies of these websites and services.
