This policy explains what personal data the TIU e-learning platform collects, why it is collected, who can see it and what you can ask us to do with it. It applies to every page of this website.

Who runs the platform

The platform is run by Tashkent International University. You will find the current e-mail address and phone number on the Contact page of this website; please use them for any question about your data.

What we collect

  • Account details you give us when you register: first name, last name, user name, e-mail address, phone number and a password. The password itself is never stored — only a cryptographic hash of it.
  • Learning records created while you study: which courses you started, which lessons you opened and completed, your test attempts with the number of correct answers, and the certificates issued to you (your name, the course, the date and the certificate number).
  • Things you send us: messages from the contact form (name, e-mail, phone, text), an e-mail address if you subscribe to the newsletter, comments under blog posts and reviews of courses.
  • Technical data: cookies that are needed to keep you signed in (the session cookie, the “remember me” cookie and the security token), and server records of requests, which may include the IP address, the browser and the time of the request.

Why we collect it

To give you access to the courses and video lessons, to record your progress and show it to you, to grade tests and issue certificates, to answer your messages, to send the newsletter if you asked for it, and to keep the platform working and secure.

Who can see your data

Only the platform administrators, and only as much as their work requires. We do not sell personal data, we do not pass it to advertisers, and we do not use advertising or analytics trackers. Data is given to state bodies only when the law obliges us to do so.

Services outside the platform

  • Pages load their typefaces from Google Fonts. When a page opens, your browser sends a request to Google’s servers, and that request carries your IP address and browser details.
  • Some lessons are videos embedded from an external service. Opening such a lesson sends a request to that service, which may set its own cookies. Those services have their own privacy policies.

How long we keep it

Account and learning records are kept while your account exists. Certificates and the test results behind them are kept as proof that a course was completed. Contact messages and newsletter subscriptions are kept until you ask us to remove them. Technical server records are kept for a short period and are used only to investigate faults and attacks.

Your rights

You may ask us what data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete your account and the data in it, or unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Write to the address on the Contact page; we answer in the same way the request arrives.

Security

Passwords are stored as hashes, the website is served over an encrypted connection, and the administration panel is open only to a limited number of staff accounts. No system is perfectly safe, so please choose a password you do not use anywhere else.

Children

The platform is intended for adult learners and students. If you are under eighteen, use it with the knowledge of a parent or guardian.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new text appears on this page and the date above is updated.

Applicable law

Personal data is processed under the law of the Republic of Uzbekistan, including the Law “On Personal Data” (ZRU-547 of 2 July 2019).
