If that is the case, we will put in place reasonable measures to ensure that your personal data will be protected to a standard that is comparable to those laws and will comply with applicable data protection laws in relation to the transborder flows of personal data.
Your personal data may therefore be accessible to law enforcement and/or regulatory authorities in such foreign jurisdictions according to the applicable laws of such jurisdictions.
If you are based in the UK or the EU, we will only transfer your personal data out of the UK or the European Economic Area ("EEA") (as the case may be) if:
  • the destination jurisdiction has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission; or
  • where legally required, we enter into data transfer arrangements based on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent means required by applicable laws. You are entitled to receive a copy of any documentation showing that appropriate safeguards have been taken to protect your personal data regarding the disclosures and transfers mentioned by making a request (see "Contact us" below).
Where South African data protection laws apply, to the extent that we transfer any special personal data or personal data relating to children to third parties located in jurisdictions that do not have adequate data protection laws as provided for under the jurisdiction in which you live, we shall do so only with the requisite prior authorisation of the data protection authority, in circumstances where required.

5.Retaining your personal data

It is important to let us know if there are changes to your personal data (e.g. if you move house). Please see "Contact Us" below.
We keep personal data of applicants during the application process, and for two years afterwards for unsuccessful applicant or for such longer period as may be permitted or required by applicable law.
We keep personal data of students for the duration of the service contract and thereafter for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data was collected or used or for such longer period as may be permitted or required by applicable law.
We keep personal data of other users of the tutorJr Platform for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and used (or a directly related purpose) or for such longer period as may be permitted or required by applicable law.

6.Security

We are committed to keeping the personal data provided to us secure and we have implemented measures to protect the personal data that we have under our control from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification and unlawful destruction or accidental loss. However, no data security measures can guarantee security.

7.Automated decision-making

We may use automated decision-making, if it is authorized by legislation, if you have provided an explicit consent or if it is necessary for the performance of a contract. You can always request a manual decision- making process instead, express your opinion or contest decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, if such a decision would produce legal effects or otherwise similarly significantly affect you.

8.Links to other websites

The tutorJr Platform may contain links to other sites whose information practices may be different from ours. You should consult the other sites' privacy notices as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.

They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide web services and functionalities for users. For example, they enable you to improve your experience on the tutorJr Platform and enable the tutorJr Platform to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the tutorJr Platform or browse from one page to another.

Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. The tutorJr Platform uses both persistent and session cookies.

A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which allows us to collect and analyze (on an anonymous basis) traffic and use of the tutorJr Platform, monitor the system and improve operating performance, for example, store your preferences to enhance your subsequent visits. It will not be automatically deleted when the browser is closed but is stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date).

1.3.2 Other tracking technologies
Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer's hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with the tutorJr Platform and services to, among other things, track the activities of visitors and users of tutorJr Platform, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage of tutorJr Platform. We and our third party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

Local Storage Objects. We may use Flash Local Storage Objects ("Flash LSOs") to store your preferences on tutorJr Platform and to personalize your visit. Flash LSOs are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data stored. Typically, you cannot control, delete, or disable the acceptance of Flash LSOs through your web browser. For more information on Flash LSOs, or to learn how to manage your settings for Flash LSOs, go to the Adobe Flash Player Help Page, choose "Global Storage Settings Panel" and follow the instructions.

This enables these third parties to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party's specific privacy or cookies policy, not this one.
1.3.3 Our use of cookies
We do not automatically capture or store personal information from browsers to the tutorJr Platform, other than to log your IP address (which in certain circumstances will be your personal data) and session information such as the duration of the visit to our site and the nature of the browser used. This information is used only for administration of the tutorJr Platform and in the compilation of statistics which we use for analysis in order to improve the tutorJr Platform and understand in general terms who uses our Website.
Cookies may be required to allow you to access and participate in certain areas of the tutorJr Platform. Once you have closed your browser, this type of cookie is deactivated. Like all cookies, you are able to remove or block particular cookies at any time (see below).

The majority of browsers will allow you to alter the settings used for cookies and to disable and enable them as you require.

You can reject all cookies (except strictly necessary cookies) in case you prefer not to receive them, and you can have your computer warn you whenever cookies are being used. You can delete the cookies that are already on your computer and you can set your browser to prevent them from being placed. Disabling cookies may, however, prevent some web services (including on tutorJr Platform) from working correctly. Please be aware that when you have set your computer to reject cookies, it can limit the functionality of the tutorJr Platform and it is possible then that you will not have access to some of the features on the tutorJr Platform.

To disable cookies, or to receive a warning whenever cookies are being used, you have to adjust your browser settings. You can adjust your browser settings to delete certain cookies. Visit the "help" section of your browser for how to manage your cookie settings, or follow the links below:

Opting-out of Third Party Ad Networks. You have the ability to opt out of many third-party ad networks. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by DAA companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by NAI members.

Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies' delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Website or on other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt out may not be effective.
