Learnion - Mobile Game Engine Development Education

Information We Collect

When you use Learnion's mobile game engine learning platform, we collect several types of information to provide you with the best educational experience. Personal information includes your name, email address, phone number, and educational background when you register for courses or contact us.

We also gather technical data about how you interact with our platform – which courses you access, time spent on different modules, quiz results, and project submissions. This helps us understand your learning progress and improve our content delivery.

Location data is collected only when you enable location services, primarily for connecting you with local study groups or Australian game development meetups. You can disable this feature at any time through your account settings.

Cookie data and device information help us remember your preferences and ensure our platform works smoothly across different devices and browsers.

How We Use Your Information

Your personal data serves multiple purposes within our educational ecosystem. We use your information to create personalized learning paths based on your skill level and interests in mobile game development.

Communication is another key use – we'll send you course updates, assignment deadlines, and important announcements about your enrolled programs. Our instructors access your progress data to provide meaningful feedback on your game development projects.

We analyze aggregated, anonymized data to improve our curriculum and understand which game engine topics our students find most challenging. This research helps us develop better learning materials and teaching methods.

For students in Australia, we may use your information to comply with educational reporting requirements and to offer region-specific opportunities like internships with Australian game studios.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Learnion takes a conservative approach to sharing your personal information. We never sell your data to third parties or use it for advertising purposes outside our educational mission.

Limited sharing occurs with our educational partners – game development studios that offer internships, guest lecturers who provide specialized workshops, and certification bodies that validate your completed courses. These partners sign strict confidentiality agreements.

In some cases, we may share anonymous performance data with game engine companies like Unity or Unreal Engine to help them improve their educational resources. No personally identifiable information is included in these reports.

Legal compliance may require us to disclose information when requested by Australian authorities, particularly in cases involving student safety or suspected academic misconduct.

Your Privacy Rights Under Australian Law

As an Australian-operated educational platform, Learnion complies with the Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles. You have comprehensive rights regarding your personal information.

1

Access Right: Request a complete copy of all personal information we hold about you, including learning progress, submitted assignments, and communication history. We provide this within 30 days at no charge.

2

Correction Right: Update any incorrect personal information in your account. You can modify most details directly through your student portal, or contact our support team for assistance with complex changes.

3

Deletion Right: Request removal of your personal data, though we may retain certain information for legitimate educational purposes, such as academic transcripts or certification records.

4

Complaint Right: Lodge complaints about our privacy practices with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) or contact our privacy officer directly.

5

Consent Withdrawal: Revoke consent for optional data processing activities, such as marketing communications or participation in learning analytics research.

To exercise these rights, contact our privacy team using the details provided below. We'll verify your identity and process requests promptly according to Australian privacy law requirements.

Data Security and Protection Measures

Protecting your educational data is fundamental to our operations. Learnion employs multiple layers of security to safeguard your information against unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure.

Technical safeguards include encrypted data transmission using TLS 1.3 protocols, secure server environments with regular security updates, and multi-factor authentication for administrative access. All student projects and assignments are stored on secured servers located within Australia.

Our staff undergo regular privacy training and sign confidentiality agreements. Access to student data is restricted on a need-to-know basis, with detailed logging of all data access for audit purposes.

While we implement robust security measures, no system is completely immune to threats. We maintain incident response procedures and will notify affected users within 72 hours if a data breach occurs that could impact their personal information.

Regular security audits and penetration testing help us identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for legitimate educational purposes or as required by Australian law. Different types of data have varying retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements.

Active student records are maintained throughout your enrollment and for three years after course completion. This allows us to provide transcripts, certificates, and academic references when needed.

Learning analytics data, including quiz scores and progress tracking, is retained for two years to help improve our courses. After this period, the data is either anonymized for research purposes or permanently deleted.

Communication records and support tickets are kept for one year after resolution, while financial transaction records are retained for seven years to comply with Australian taxation requirements.

You can request early deletion of certain data types, though we may need to retain some information for legal compliance or legitimate educational interests, such as maintaining academic integrity records.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Learnion uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your learning experience and maintain platform functionality. Understanding how these work helps you make informed decisions about your privacy preferences.

Essential cookies enable core platform features like user authentication, course progress tracking, and security functions. These cannot be disabled without compromising platform functionality.

Analytics cookies help us understand how students interact with our content, which lessons are most effective, and where learners encounter difficulties. This information guides our curriculum development efforts.

Preference cookies remember your settings, such as preferred programming languages, notification preferences, and accessibility options. These enhance your user experience by maintaining consistent settings across sessions.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or our cookie preference center, accessible from any page on our platform. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality.

International Data Transfers

While Learnion primarily operates within Australia, some educational services involve international data transfers. We take careful steps to ensure your information remains protected when transferred across borders.

Certain game engine resources and development tools are provided by international companies. When you access Unity tutorials or Unreal Engine documentation through our platform, some data may be processed on servers outside Australia.

We ensure all international transfers comply with Australian Privacy Principles by using approved transfer mechanisms, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses that provide equivalent privacy protection.

Cloud services used for video delivery and interactive coding environments may process data internationally, but we select providers with strong privacy commitments and appropriate safeguards in place.

Students are informed when course activities involve international data processing, and alternative arrangements can be made for those who prefer to keep their data within Australia.

Children's Privacy

Learnion's mobile game engine courses are designed for adult learners and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years of age without appropriate parental consent.

If we discover that a minor has provided personal information without proper authorization, we will delete this information promptly and contact the parent or guardian if possible.

For our occasional youth coding workshops, we require explicit parental consent and implement additional privacy protections, including limited data collection and enhanced security measures.

Parents or guardians concerned about a minor's interaction with our platform should contact us immediately using the information provided below.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. We are committed to keeping you informed about how we protect your privacy.

Significant changes will be communicated through multiple channels – email notifications to active users, prominent notices on our platform, and updates to this page with clear change summaries.

We recommend reviewing this policy periodically, especially before starting new courses or using additional platform features. The effective date at the bottom of this document indicates when the current version was last updated.

If changes materially affect how we use your existing personal information, we will seek your consent before implementing these changes, giving you the opportunity to opt out if you disagree with the new terms.
