Lockdown University is committed to the lawful and transparent collection and use of data you provide to us through interaction with our Site. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains what information we collect and why we collect it, how we use that information, and your options for controlling and updating your information.
By visiting our Site, you agree to be legally bound by this Policy and the Terms of Use. If you do not agree to this Policy or cannot form a legally binding contract, you may not use this Site.
Lockdown University collects, stores, uses and processes personal information in accordance with this Policy and the legislative and regulatory requirements in force from time to time and applicable to it relating to the collection, storage, use and processing of personal data including the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”), the British Virgin Islands Data Protection Act No 3 of 2021 and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, in force from 1 September 2023, and any successor legislation (together the “Applicable Data Protection Laws”). Lockdown University processes personal information as a “Controller” or “data controller” as these terms are defined in the Applicable Data Protection Laws).
Information Collected
This Site collects two types of information from you (1) personal information voluntarily provided by you (“Personal Information”), and (2) non-identifying data about your use of our Site (“General Information”). We do not collect Personal Information unless you choose to provide it to us.
Personal Information
It is always your choice, or the choice of anyone acting for you, whether to provide Personal Information. However, some information must be provided to participate in certain programs or activities so the decision not to provide information might limit or eliminate certain functions of the Site or the ability to participate.
Lockdown University may collect the following Personal Information from you, for example, through our Site’s email links / contact form:
- Name
- E-mail address
- Country
How Information is Used
In general, we use Personal Information we collect from these forms for the purpose for which it was collected.
Personal Information may be disclosed to trusted persons working together with Lockdown University if they are involved in the completion, delivery or customer support of the services offered through the Site. Examples include third parties who assist in hosting our web servers, analyzing data and providing customer service. We also may share aggregated anonymous information about visitors to the Site with third parties so that they can understand the kinds of visitors to the Site and how those visitors use the Site.
By utilizing the Site, or expressly opting in when presented with choices, you have consented for us to use your information, subject to local law, in at least the following ways: to contact you about any Site updates or service-related issues, including important security updates; to provide you additional communications, information, and promotions such as newsletters; to provide the services requested by you or to fulfill the purpose for which you provide it; in other ways we may describe when you provide the information or later consent; to enable you to provide feedback, to contact us and for us to respond to you; and to generate internal reports about the use of our Site.
We disclose information if legally required to do so or if requested to do so by a governmental entity.
We may disclose and transfer such information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial portion of Lockdown University’s business, whether such acquisition is by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of all or a substantial portion of our assets. In addition, in the event Lockdown University becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, Lockdown University or its liquidator, administrator, receiver or administrative receiver may sell, license or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction approved by the court.
In each of these situations, the recipients of your data may potentially be located in countries whose data protection legislation is different from your country. If you are a resident in any EU member state, for example, you must be aware that the EU authorities do not generally consider that the regulations of non-EU countries ensure an adequate or equivalent level of protection as compared to the EU data protection regulations.
Public Posting of Personal Information
Please remember that any information you share in public areas, such as message boards or feedback sections, becomes public and may be collected and used by others over whom Lockdown University has no control. This Policy does not apply to any information that you choose to make public. Accordingly, please be careful about what you publicly disclose, and do not post any Personal Information that you expect to keep private.
How Long We Keep Personal Information
Typically, we keep Personal Information as long as you are actively accessing the Site and using its services and after the end of that relationship for as long as necessary to perform purposes set out in this Policy, to protect Lockdown University from legal claims and administer our business. Lockdown University will perform periodic checks for inactivity and remove your information when it is determined that you have been inactive for at least one year. When we no longer need to use Personal Information, we will delete it from our systems and records or take steps to anonymize the data unless we need to keep it longer to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Cookies
Like many websites, we use “cookies,” which are small text files that are stored on your computer or equipment when you visit certain online pages that record your preferences. We use cookies to track use of our Site and online services. We may also use cookies to monitor traffic, improve the Site and make it easier and/or relevant for your use, by for example, allowing you to visit any member-only parts of the Site or content without re-registering. Cookies cannot retrieve any other data from a hard drive or obtain an e-mail address. Although a user has the ability to modify most browsers to either accept all cookies, notify the user when a cookie is sent, or reject all cookies, it may not be possible to use certain services on this Site if cookies are not accepted.
Web Beacons
Like some websites, we may use web beacons or flash cookies. A web beacon or flash cookie (also known as “action tags,” “tracer tags” or “single-pixel gifs”) is an invisible graphic on a web page or e-mail newsletter that is programmed to collect non-personally identifiable information about your use of a given website or newsletter, e.g. whether you opened the e-mail. Like cookies, web beacons allow Lockdown University and its technology providers to summarize overall usage patterns for our analysis and provide personalized services to you. We do not share or provide Personal Information we may collect through such web beacons, such as names or e-mail addresses without your express permission.

Before providing you with a copy of your Personal Information or correcting, updating or deleting such information, we reserve the right to verify and authenticate your identity and the Personal Information to which you have requested access.
If you delete or close your account or account profile information with Lockdown University altogether, Lockdown University may retain an archival copy which is not accessible by you or third parties on the Internet. The archival copy is retained only for as long as Lockdown University reasonably considers necessary for audit and record purposes. We will retain logs, demographic, indirect, and statistical information about you and keep an archival copy of this information in an anonymous form. We will also retain aggregate anonymized information. If your Personal Information was previously accessed by others using our Site, we are not able to delete the information or copies thereof from their systems.
Your Rights Under the GDPR and Applicable Data Protection Laws
In accordance with Article 77 of the GDPR individuals in the EU also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular, in the Member State of your habitual residence or place of work of an alleged infringement of the GDPR. Individuals in countries outside the EU have similar rights under the Applicable Data Protection Legislation.
