You can discontinue the functionality of this email account by contacting us as specified herein below.

Use of Our Visa Processing Services: We provide students with the option of processing their Canada student visas through ImmiEd.

Posts Published on ImmiEd Website, Social Media Channels, or Direct Messages: You can post information (e.g., queries, comments, and opinions) through ImmiEd’s Services, on ImmiEd Website or on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, YouTube or Instagram. You may also send direct messages to us through these platforms. Please be aware that any personal information you voluntarily publish to any public forum will be displayed to other people, and you should use caution before posting any personal information. The content you send to third-party websites (such as different social media websites) is subject to the privacy policies of those third-party websites.

You are governed by their privacy rules when you use these payment service providers directly to make a payment. They are separate from ImmiEd, and ImmiEd is not liable for their privacy practices.

Our applications have been designed to link customers to the PCI-certified payment processor directly in a secure, transparent, and encrypted manner. This makes it easier for us to guarantee the confidentiality of your financial transactions. ImmiEd receives a transaction number and status from the payment processor. These details are frequently required for visa applications as evidence of program payment and as a show of the student's commitment to the program of choice. ImmiEd keeps a list of payment processors and other third-party service providers that we might utilize to handle payments to independent service providers and/or third-party or outside contractors that we hire in connection with providing the Services.

Register for Marketing Emails and Other Communications: We may give you the option to register to receive marketing and promotional emails from ImmiEd on the Website, on other websites (including social media sites), or at conferences and other learning opportunities. In certain situations, we gather specific personal information from you (including your full name, electronic mail ID, or contact number), which we will use to send you emails and other messages with ImmiEd updates, advice, and other material that may be of interest to you. By following the "opt-out" or "unsubscribe" options given in your emails or text messages or by contacting us as detailed below, you can choose not to receive promotional emails from us. Please keep in mind that you may continue to receive messages from us about your application, as well as other transactional and account-related electronic messages.

To manage your participation in the competition or campaign, we utilize this information.

At What Situations Do We Disclose Your Information

As shown in the table below, we disclose the personal data you provide with us to third parties such as service providers, regulated institutions (such as financial institutions), affiliated companies, and business partners.

We have also listed our reasons for sharing your personal information with third parties in the section below.

With Whom and Why We Disclose Your Information

With whom we Disclose your personal information	The Purpose of Disclosure
Educational Institutions	The educational institutions you are applying to (either directly or with the help of a third party on your behalf, within Canada or abroad) receive the information from your application that we have provided. ImmiEd does not have any control over how these educational institutions use the information it has given them for your application for admission, so if you have any concerns about how your personal information is handled, it is advised that you get in touch with the respective educational institutions directly.
Service Providers	We may transfer or otherwise make available your personal data or information to third parties who perform services for us. For instance, we may use service providers like cloud providers to operate some aspects of the Website, host the Website and data (including cloud providers), deliver our emails, and customer relationship management tool service providers. Other service providers might help us with a variety of tasks, including the provision of services, identity verification, fraud prevention, abuse detection, internal research, analytical assessments, processing of transactions, account maintenance, and customer service.

Your personal information may be stored and processed by third-party service providers in other countries. We provide only the data necessary for our service providers to carry out their assigned tasks; we do not permit them to use or disclose your personal information for their own marketing or other reasons.
Parties involved in an ImmiEd business transaction	In the event of a merger, sale, or other corporate reorganization involving all or a portion of ImmiEd, whether contemplated or actualized (including transfers made in connection with insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings), we reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you as an asset.
Individuals involved in Research and Development	With your permission, ImmiEd makes use of your data internally for research and development to enhance our current Services and/or develop new features to serve you better. ImmiEd also uses non-personal data ("Metadata") for this purpose. In order to enhance our current Services and/or develop new features to better serve you, we may share your personal information with third parties engaged in research and development with your permission. These third parties could be academics, educational institutions, or other professionals in related fields.
Legal Professionals, Lawyers, Courts, and Law Enforcement Agencies	ImmiEd and our Canadian, UK, and all other service providers may disclose your personal information to a third party in response to a search warrant or other legally recognized inquiry or order or to an entity in the event of a contract violation or other illegal activity, as well as in other circumstances as stipulated or permitted by applicable Canadian, UK, or other law. Additionally, we reserve the right to reveal personal information when it is required for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, to identify, stop, or avert fraud, or to look into potential damage or loss to people or property. For legal, regulatory, and/or compliance reasons, we might need to get in touch with you directly to check the specific information you gave in connection with your application process if you hired a recruitment partner or counsellor to submit your application to ImmiEd.

Please get in touch with us using one of the many channels of communication provided in the section below titled "Contact Us, Questions, Updating Your Info, Opting Out" if you do not want us to use your personal information to market to you or to share with third parties for marketing purposes. A link included in any marketing emails that ImmiEd sends to you will allow you to unsubscribe from those emails. We will never sell your personal information.

Locations of Our Data Storage

The servers of our cloud service providers are where we store all the data you give us. We make a good faith effort to guarantee that our service providers follow the security guidelines we have established for your information. All payment transactions will be encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. Any password we have provided you (or that you have chosen) for access to particular areas of our Website is your responsibility to keep confidential. We kindly ask you not to reveal your password to anyone.

Our service providers are mostly based outside of Canada, and their servers are mostly located in India and a few in Canada. We utilize the required security measures to protect your information. Since the laws and regulations outside of Canada may differ from those in Canada, authorities in those other countries may be able to access your information in compliance with their local laws.

Security measures/ Safeguards

ImmiEd considers very seriously its responsibility to safeguard your personal information. In an effort to stop any unauthorized access, modification, use, and disclosure of your personal data in our control and custody, we have put in place all reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards. These measures include limiting access to our database to authorized users, using device encryption, and using version tracking.

However, online data transfer is not entirely safe. Although we will try our best to safeguard your personal information, we cannot ensure the complete security of any data transferred to our Website and hence, any transmission is done at your own risk. Once we obtain your information, we will do our best to prevent unauthorized access by following tight protocols and utilizing security features.

Instances that raise questions about or show evidence of unlawful access to or handling of personal data are swiftly investigated by ImmiEd, and swift action is taken. We will notify you right away if we learn about a security breach that resulted in unauthorized access to, use of, modification of, or disclosure of your personal information that is in our possession or under our control. As soon as we learn about the breach or have a reasonable opportunity to do so, we shall, to the extent authorized by law, promptly inform you of it.

Defining Your Rights

Subject to regional data protection legislation, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. In accordance with the laws that are in force, your rights may include the right to:

Use of Cookies and Similar Tracking Mechanisms

To keep track of information about how you use our Website and Services, both we and our third-party service providers employ cookies and other tracking techniques, such as tracking technology created for mobile applications. We may combine this data with other personal data we have about you (or on our behalf, our third-party service providers may combine it).

Cookies. Cookies are small identifiers that include pieces of text in alphabetical and numerical that we transfer to the hard drive of your system through your web browser for the purpose of preserving records. Some cookies help us make our Website and Services easier for you to use, while others help us track your activity on our Website and Services or make the login process go more quickly.

Cookies could lead to the transmission of information between you and us, between you and us directly, between us and another party working on our behalf, or between us and another party in line with that other party's privacy policy. To combine the data we get about you, we might utilize cookies. You have the option of having your device notify you each time a cookie is transmitted, or you may decide to disable all cookies. Your browser's settings are where you do this. If you disable our cookies, you will not be able to access many features that improve the efficiency of your visit, and some of our Services won't work properly. For further information on how to control or disable browser cookies, please refer to the Policy's last section.

Cookies fall into a number of categories, and they all serve various purposes. Visit an informational page to learn more about cookies and their general purposes.

Cookies are classified into four types:

Cookies that are absolutely necessary	These are cookies that are necessary for our Website to function. For instance, they contain cookies that let visitors sign into our Website's secure areas.
Performance / analytical cookies.	These cookie types help us identify visitors, track their numbers, and monitor their online activity on our Website. This helps us improve how our Website functions, for example, by making sure you can quickly find what you are looking for.
Functionality cookies.	When you return to our Website, these cookies help us recognize you. They make it possible to customize content, identify users, and remember user preferences (such as your preferred language or location).
Targeting cookies.	Targeting cookies track your visit to our Website, the web pages you browse, and the links you click. If the cookie is set by a third party (such as an advertising network) that also analyses traffic on other sites, this type of cookie may be used to track your travels between multiple websites and to construct profiles of your general online behaviour. Online advertising frequently uses the data gathered by tracking cookies to target specific consumers.

The four types of cookies mentioned above are either session cookies or persistent cookies.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are only present during an online session. They vanish from your computer when you close your browser or turn it off. We use session cookies to exclusively identify you during a session or while you are logged into our Services or Website. This enables us to conduct your e-commerce transactions and requests and authenticate your identity when you navigate through our Website or Services after you have logged in.

Persistent Cookies

After you have closed your browser or powered off your computer, persistent cookies continue to exist on your system. We use persistent cookies in order to save your user information, preferences, and activities so that we can provide our Services to you the next time you visit our Website or use our Services. We also employ persistent cookies to track collective and statistical data about user activities, which we may combine with other user data.

HTML5 data storage. We may also utilize HTML5 to save your user information and Website options locally within your web browser.

Pixel tags, clear GIFs, and other technologies. Clear GIFs are small visuals or graphics with a unique identifier that act similarly to cookies. Unlike cookies, which are saved on your computer's hard drive, clear GIFs are inserted on web pages secretively. Clear GIFs, also known as web bugs, pixel tags, or web beacons, may be used in connection with our Website or Services to track the actions of Website visitors, assist us in managing content, and compile statistics regarding Website and Service usage. Clear GIFs are also used by us and our third-party service providers to send emails in HTML format to ImmiEd customers to help us track email reply rates, find when our emails are seen, and determine whether our emails are forwarded.

Changing or Disabling Cookie Preferences. The majority of web browsers, by default, permit cookies, but you could change your web browser settings to stop them from being accepted in the future. The Help sections in most browsers will explain to you the steps to prevent your computer or system from accepting new cookies, how to inform the browser about receiving a new cookie, or the steps to disable cookies entirely. Visitors to our Website who block their web browsers' capacity to accept cookies will be able to view the Website; however, most site features will not function if cookies are disabled, and you will be unable to log in to utilize our Services. You can withdraw your agreement to the setting of cookies at any time by visiting our Website's Privacy Preference Centre and selecting "Cookies Settings." Please keep in mind that in order to erase all cookies across all of your devices, you must modify your cookie settings independently for each device.

Do Not Follow. Currently, our systems do not accept browser "do-not-track" requests. However, you may block certain tracking as stated above (e.g., by disabling Cookies); you may also opt out of Third-Party Analytics or targeted marketing by following the instructions provided in the Third-Party Advertisement Networks section below.

Social media: We may provide you with the option to interact with our content on or through social networking sites, applications, and plug-ins operated by third parties. You may give us permission to access certain information from your social media account (such as your name, email address, username, and profile picture) when you engage with ImmiEd content on or via third-party social networking websites, applications, and plug-ins. This access is necessary to deliver the content to you or to maintain the functionality of the website, application, and plug-in. We may utilize the information you supply from your social media account to tailor your experience on the Website and on third-party social networking websites, applications, and plug-ins, as well as to offer you additional products or services you may request.

Links to Other Websites: The ImmiEd Website might also include links to other domains that ImmiEd does not control or maintain, such as those of our business partners. Additionally, other websites that we advertise on may contain links to our Website. We will not disclose any of your personal information to these third parties without your permission, with the exception of what is stated in this clause. As a service to the user, we offer connections to websites operated by third parties. These links are not meant to be recommendations or endorsements of the connected websites. We advise you to carefully read the privacy statements, notices, and terms of use on the linked websites since they are different and independent from one another.

Third-Party Analytics

ImmiEd gathers common internet log data using the online analytics services provided by Google Analytics, Hubspot, Walkme, Hellobar, OneTrust, Mixpanel, and Freshpaint. These tools may make use of cookies to assist us in studying how users interact with the Website. For instance, if you use Google Analytics, a Google server will receive and store the data the cookie creates on how you use the Website (including your IP address). This information is used by Google to analyze the way you use the Website, prepare reports on all website activity for website owners, and perform all other services for website owners related to website activity and internet usage.

You will be able to stop Google from storing data or information in connection with your use of the Website and generated by the cookie (which includes your IP address), and you can also disable Google from processing this data by downloading and then installing the browser plug-in mentioned at the following link: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on Download Page.

If you require any additional information on Google Analytics data collection and processing, as well as data privacy and security, it can be found at the below links: https://support.google.com/analytics/topic/2919631 and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

ImmiEd also uses Google Optical Character Recognition (Google OCR) to convert the images you upload into text for data import into your chosen ImmiEd applications, with the goal of eradicating processing errors and reducing processing times.

Third-Party Advertising Networks

Third parties, such as network advertisers, sponsors, and other marketing agencies, are used to display advertisements on our Website, assist us in displaying advertisements on third-party websites, and analyze the success of our advertising campaigns. Network advertisers are third-party companies that display adverts based on your visits to our Website and other unrelated websites. This would allow us and these third parties to advertise for products and services in which you may be interested. JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), cookies, Flash LSOs, and other related technologies used by third-party ad network providers, sponsors, advertisers, and/or traffic measurement services to measure the performance of their ads and to tailor advertising material to you. These cookies of third parties and other technologies are subject to the privacy policies of each individual third party, not this one. We might give these third-party advertisers details about how you use our Website and Services, as well as general or non-identifiable personal data about users of our Website and of our Service.

Choosing not to receive interest-based advertising: Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada website at https://youradchoices.ca/ for more information about interest-based advertising and to learn about your options, including how to choose not to receive behavioural ads from third-party advertising companies that are members of the alliance.

• You will still see ads from us even if you opt out of interest-based advertising from third parties, but they will not be targeted based on your behaviour and may be less relevant to you and your interests. Please note that even if you choose to opt out of analytics, these tracking technologies may still collect data for other purposes.
• Your cookies must have been enabled in your web browser in order to correctly opt out; for more information on cookies and how to activate them, check the instructions for your browser. You must opt out of each online browser on each computer you use because your opt-out only applies to the web browser you are currently using. You will have to opt out again if you clear the cookies that your browser has saved after opting out.

Custom Audience: We may also use third-party platform services (such as social networking and other websites) to show you or other people targeted advertisements on those platforms. To do so, we may give the platform provider a brief version of your email address or other required information. Please get in touch with us at info@immied.com if you would prefer that we not utilize your information for such purposes.

Data Storage

ImmiEd will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary to achieve the goals for which it was acquired or as otherwise allowed or required by law or contract (which may continue after our relationship with you has ended).

Personal data is typically kept for up to a year after we last communicated with you or as long as you are enrolled in the institutional program you applied to. We might keep some information if it is necessary:

• for lawful commercial objectives, such as account recovery and auditing;
• if mandated by relevant national/federal, state/provincial, local/territorial, or other legislation/laws;
• to stop fraud or abuse in the future or
• by agreement with an individual or partner and/or organization or institution.

Every single piece of saved personal information is handled in line with this Policy.

Due to existing technological and regulatory limitations, we cannot entirely delete all your personal data if you ask for it to be removed from our databases and/or systems. However, we will be taking reasonable steps to ensure that the information is securely destroyed, deidentified, and/or anonymized as needed.

If you ask ImmiEd for more Services that are governed by this Policy, you will be giving your consent to an expansion of the company's data collecting and/or processing goals.
