Third-Party Services

Our Platform integrates with trusted third-party service providers to deliver course content and process transactions. These partners may receive limited data necessary to perform their services:

  • Udemy — Our primary course hosting platform. When you click an enrollment link, you are redirected to Udemy's platform and subject to their Privacy Policy.

⚠️ We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party platforms. We encourage you to review their privacy policies independently before providing personal information directly to them.

Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their own marketing purposes. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

  1. Service Providers: We share data with vetted vendors who help us operate the Platform (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, email delivery). All vendors are bound by data processing agreements.
  2. Legal Compliance: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, government request, or to protect the legal rights, safety, or property of Emenwaglobal, our students, or the public.
  3. Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.
  4. With Your Consent: We may share your information for any other purpose with your explicit prior consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
07

Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement a range of technical and organizational measures to protect it against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction:

  • All data transmissions between your browser and our servers are encrypted using TLS 1.3 / SSL protocols.
  • Payment data is handled exclusively by PCI-DSS compliant payment processors. We never store raw card numbers.
  • Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel on a strict need-to-know basis, enforced with role-based access controls.
  • We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments of our Platform infrastructure.
  • User passwords are hashed using industry-standard bcrypt algorithms — we cannot read your password.
⚠️

While we employ best-practice security measures, no system is 100% impenetrable. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your rights, we will notify you and relevant authorities within 72 hours in accordance with applicable law.

08
