Use by Third Parties
Construct Education uses the HubSpot Subscription Service to generate marketing campaigns that people can use to learn more about our business. HubSpot processes our customers’ information in accordance with our agreements and directives, but HubSpot does not have control over our data collection or management. Our agreements with HubSpot prohibit them from using that information, except as necessary to provide and improve the subscription service, as permitted by HubSpot’s Privacy Policy, and as required by law.
You are free to explore the websites without providing any personal information about yourself. When you visit the websites, we request that you provide personal information about yourself, and we collect navigational information.
Personal Information
This refers to any information that you voluntarily submit to us and that identifies you personally, including contact information, such as your name, e-mail address, company name, address, phone number, and other information about yourself or your business. Personal information can also include information about any transactions, both free and paid, that you enter into on the websites, and information about you that is available on the internet, such as from Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google, or publicly available information that we acquire from service providers.
Personal information also includes navigational information where such information can directly or indirectly identify an individual. Navigational information refers to information about your computer and your visits to this website such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit, and pages viewed. Please see the “Navigation Information” section below.

This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, internet service provider (ISP), the files viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system, clickstream data, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used by Construct Education to maintain the quality of our marketing services and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the website(s). For these purposes, we do link this automatically-collected data to personal information such as name, email address, address, and phone number.
Information we Collect From Third Parties
From time to time, we may receive personal information about you from third-party sources including partners with which we offer co-branded services or engage in joint marketing activities, and publicly available sources such as social media websites or through webinars.
Information About Children
The websites are not intended for or targeted at children under 16, and we do not knowingly or intentionally collect information about children under 16. If you believe that we have collected information about a child under 16, please contact us at generalcounsel@constructeducation.com, so that we may delete the information.
We use the information we collect only in compliance with this Privacy Policy.
We never sell your personal information to any third party.
In addition to the uses identified elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we may use your personal information to:
We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering or event that may be of interest to you. In those cases, we do not transfer your personal information to a third party.
Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you.
If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information). Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.
We use navigational information to operate and improve the websites. We may also use navigational information alone or in combination with personal information to provide you with personalized information about Construct Education.
We post customer testimonials and comments on our Websites, which may contain personal information. We obtain each customer’s consent via email prior to posting the customer’s name and testimonial.
In general, personal information is requested when you contact us to look for employment or to search for a candidate to fill a job opening. We ask applicants for their names, addresses, and other personal information such as work experience, education, and skills. When hiring employees, we may also request personal information that is considered “sensitive,” such as information necessary to provide health benefits.
When you apply using our electronic application or through an external website which then forwards your data to Construct Education, we may ask you for your name, e-mail address, or other personal information such as work experience, education, and skills. We may use this information to assess your qualifications and/or contact you.
We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
Our websites include social media features, such as the Facebook like button and widgets, and the “Share This button” or interactive mini-programs that run on our sites. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our sites, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these features. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy and other policies of the companies providing them.
Our websites provide links to other websites. We do not control and are not responsible for the content or practices of these other websites. Our provision of such links does not constitute our endorsement of these other websites, their content, their owners, or their practices. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these other websites, which are subject to any privacy and other policies they may have.
How long we keep the information we collect about you depends on the type of information, as described in further detail below.
We retain personal information that you provide to us where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, as long as it is required in order to contact you about our services, or as needed to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we securely delete the information or anonymize it or, if this is not possible, then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. We will delete this information from the servers at an earlier date if you so request, as described in “To Unsubscribe from Our Communications” below.
If you have elected to receive marketing communications from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences for a reasonable period of time from the date you last expressed interest in our content, products, or services, such as when you last opened an email from us. We retain information derived from cookies and other tracking technologies for a reasonable period of time from the date such information was created.
We employ other companies and people to provide services to visitors to our websites and may need to share your information with them to provide information, products, or services to you. Examples may include removing repetitive information from prospect lists, analyzing data or performing statistical analysis, providing marketing assistance, supplementing the information you provide us in order to provide you with better service, and providing customer service or support. In all cases where we share your information with such agents, we explicitly require the agent to acknowledge and adhere to our privacy and customer data handling policies.
We may share data with trusted partners to contact you based on your request to receive such communications, help us perform statistical analysis, or provide customer support. Such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except for these purposes, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
Occasionally, we may partner with trusted third parties to provide you with co-marketing content that we think may be relevant to you. When you engage with these co-marketing partners, we will tell you who we are sharing data with, and provide a link to the co-marketing partner’s privacy policy so you can learn more about how to opt out of the partner’s communications.
If we (or our assets) are acquired by another company, whether by merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or otherwise, that company would receive all information gathered by Construct Education via our websites. In this event, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website, of any change in ownership, uses of your personal information, and choices you may have regarding your personal information.
We reserve the right to use or disclose your personal information if required by law or if we reasonably believe that use or disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or comply with a law, court order, or legal process.
