Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

At SmartTechUnity, we take your privacy seriously. This document explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our corporate finance education platform.

Information We Collect

We gather different types of information to provide and improve our educational services. Some of this data comes directly from you, while other information gets collected automatically when you use our platform.

Personal Information You Provide

When you register for our courses or contact us, you might share:

  • Full name and professional title
  • Email address and phone number
  • Company name and industry sector
  • Educational background and professional experience
  • Payment information for course enrollment
  • Communication preferences and course interests

Automatically Collected Data

Our systems log certain technical information when you visit smarttechunity.com. This includes your IP address, browser type, device characteristics, and how you navigate through our content. We also track which courses you view and how long you spend on different pages.

How We Use Your Information

The data we collect serves specific purposes related to delivering quality education in corporate finance. We don't sell your information to third parties, and we're careful about how we handle it.

Purpose Description
Course Delivery Managing your enrollment, providing access to materials, and tracking your progress through programs
Communication Sending course updates, responding to inquiries, and sharing relevant educational content
Platform Improvement Analyzing usage patterns to enhance user experience and develop new course content
Security Protecting against fraud, unauthorized access, and ensuring platform integrity
Legal Compliance Meeting regulatory requirements and responding to lawful requests from authorities

Sometimes we use aggregated data for research purposes. This means combining information from many users in a way that doesn't identify anyone individually. For example, we might analyze trends in which finance topics analysts find most valuable.

Legal Basis and Argentina Privacy Law Compliance

Under Argentine Law No. 25.326 on Personal Data Protection, we process your information based on your explicit consent when you register for our services. This law gives you specific rights regarding your personal data, and we've structured our practices to honor those protections.

Our data processing activities are registered with the National Directorate for Personal Data Protection (DNPDP) as required by Argentine regulation. We maintain compliance with local requirements while also following international best practices for data security.

When you sign up for courses, you're giving us permission to use your information for educational purposes. You can withdraw this consent at any time, though it might affect our ability to provide certain services.

Data Storage and Security

We store your information on secure servers with encryption both in transit and at rest. Our technical team regularly updates security protocols and monitors for potential vulnerabilities.

Security Measures

  • SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmission
  • Multi-factor authentication for account access
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Restricted employee access to personal data
  • Automated backup systems with encrypted storage
  • Incident response procedures for potential breaches

We keep your data for as long as you maintain an active account with us. After account closure, some information gets retained for legal and tax purposes as required by Argentine law—typically around ten years for financial records.

Sharing Your Information

We don't hand over your personal details to just anyone. There are specific situations where we share data, and we're transparent about those circumstances.

Service Providers

Some third-party companies help us run our platform. Payment processors handle transactions, email services deliver course communications, and hosting providers store our data. These partners only access the information necessary to perform their specific functions, and they're bound by confidentiality agreements.

Legal Requirements

If we receive a valid legal request from Argentine authorities or need to comply with court orders, we might disclose certain information. We review each request carefully and only provide what's legally required.

Business Transfers

In the event SmartTechUnity goes through a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data might be transferred as part of that transaction. You'd be notified of any such change and given options regarding your information.

Your Rights Under Argentine Law

Argentine data protection law grants you several specific rights. You can exercise these at any time by contacting us through the channels listed below.

Access and Correction

You can request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. If any details are incorrect or outdated, you have the right to ask us to fix them. We'll respond to access requests within ten business days.

Data Portability

Want to take your data elsewhere? You can request your information in a structured, commonly used format. This makes it easier to transfer to another service if you choose to do so.

Deletion and Blocking

You can ask us to delete your personal data, though certain legal obligations might require us to retain some records. You can also request that we block further processing of your information while maintaining the data on file.

Objection to Processing

If you disagree with how we're using your information, you can object to specific types of processing. We'll review your concerns and adjust our practices unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue.

Important: If you believe we've violated your privacy rights, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Directorate for Personal Data Protection (DNPDP) in Argentina. Their contact information is available at www.argentina.gob.ar/aaip

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies—small text files stored on your device—to improve functionality and remember your preferences. Some cookies are essential for the site to work, while others help us understand how people use our platform.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential Cookies: Required for login, course access, and basic site navigation
  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand which content is most valuable to learners
  • Preference Cookies: Remember your settings and language choices
  • Performance Cookies: Monitor page load times and technical issues

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Keep in mind that disabling certain cookies might affect how well the site functions—particularly for logged-in features and course delivery.

International Data Transfers

While we primarily serve the Argentine market, some of our service providers operate servers in other countries. When your data crosses borders, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through standard contractual clauses and similar mechanisms.

We only work with providers in countries that offer adequate data protection standards or that have agreed to uphold the same privacy commitments we follow. Your information never goes to jurisdictions where we can't guarantee proper protection.

Children's Privacy

Our services target professional analysts and corporate finance practitioners. We don't knowingly collect information from individuals under 18 years old. If you're a parent who believes we've inadvertently gathered data about a minor, please contact us immediately so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

Privacy practices evolve, and regulations change. We update this policy periodically to reflect new circumstances. When we make significant changes, we'll notify active users by email and post a notice on our website.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document shows when the most recent revision took effect. We encourage you to review this policy occasionally to stay informed about how we protect your information.
