This Privacy Policy explains how LearnPath Personal Development Learning Platform collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website or interact with our services.
Last Updated: January 15, 2026
LearnPath Personal Development Learning Platform ("LearnPath," "we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who visit our website and use our educational content. This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Canadian provincial privacy legislation. We encourage you to read this document in full so that you understand how your personal information is handled.
LearnPath Personal Development Learning Platform is operated as an educational resource based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Our registered business address is 120 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, ON M5H 1T1, Canada. We serve as the data controller responsible for the personal information collected through our website.
This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors, readers, and users of the LearnPath website, including those who submit inquiries through our contact form, subscribe to any communications, or otherwise interact with our digital properties. The policy covers all data collected through the website located at our primary domain, as well as any subdomains or microsites operated under the LearnPath brand.
We process personal information in accordance with the ten fair information principles outlined in PIPEDA: accountability, identifying purposes, consent, limiting collection, limiting use, disclosure, and retention, accuracy, safeguards, openness, individual access, and challenging compliance. Our practices also align with applicable provincial privacy statutes in Ontario.
By accessing and using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our data practices as described herein, we respectfully ask that you discontinue use of the website. For any questions about how we handle your information, please contact our privacy team using the details provided in Section 13 of this document.
We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with our website. The categories of personal information we may collect include the following:
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as health data, financial account numbers, government-issued identification numbers, religious beliefs, political opinions, or biometric data. Our website is an educational resource and does not require users to create accounts or provide sensitive categories of personal information to access content.
We collect personal information through several channels, each of which serves a specific purpose in the operation and improvement of our website. The primary methods of data collection are as follows:
Contact and inquiry forms: When you use the contact form on our website, you voluntarily provide your name, email address, and message content. If you include a phone number, that is also collected. We collect only the information necessary to respond to your inquiry and do not require fields beyond what is needed for that purpose.
Cookies and similar technologies: Our website uses cookies, which are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. Cookies help us understand how visitors navigate the site, which pages are most visited, and how we can improve the user experience. We use both essential cookies (necessary for site functionality) and analytics cookies (used to measure site performance). A detailed explanation of our cookie practices is provided in Section 10 and in our separate Cookie Policy.
Web analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated data about website traffic and user behaviour. Google Analytics uses cookies to gather information such as how long visitors stay on a page, which pages they visit, and what search terms they used to find our site. This data is processed in a way that does not directly identify individual visitors, though IP addresses may be partially collected as part of this process.
Server logs: Our web hosting provider automatically records standard server log information, which includes your IP address, browser type, the pages you request, and the date and time of your visit. Server logs are a standard part of web hosting infrastructure and are used primarily for security monitoring and technical troubleshooting.
Under PIPEDA, organizations must identify the purposes for which personal information is collected at or before the time of collection. We collect and process your data based on the following legal grounds:
When you submit a contact form, you provide express consent for us to use the information you have entered in order to respond to your inquiry. For non-essential cookies such as analytics cookies, we request your consent through our cookie consent banner before placing those cookies on your device. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us or adjusting your browser settings.
We have a legitimate business interest in understanding how our website is used so that we can improve our educational content and the overall user experience. Analytics data helps us identify which topics are most read, which pages may have technical issues, and how visitors navigate through the site. We balance this interest against your privacy by anonymizing data wherever possible and minimizing the data we collect.
In certain limited circumstances, we may be required to retain or disclose personal information to comply with a legal obligation, such as a court order, regulatory requirement, or lawful request from a Canadian government authority. We will only disclose information to the minimum extent required by law.
We do not use your personal information for purposes that are materially different from those described above without first obtaining your additional consent. If we ever intend to use previously collected data for a new purpose, we will notify you and seek your consent before doing so.
The personal information we collect is used for the following specific purposes:
We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not send unsolicited marketing emails. If we ever introduce a newsletter or email subscription, participation will be entirely optional and based on your explicit opt-in consent, with a clear unsubscribe mechanism provided in every communication.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. The specific retention periods for different types of data are outlined below:
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Contact form submissions (name, email, message) | 24 months from date of submission |
| Phone numbers (if voluntarily provided) | 24 months from date of submission |
| Analytics cookies | 13 months from the date they are set |
| Essential cookies | Duration of browser session or up to 12 months |
| Server logs (IP address, browser info) | 90 days |
| Google Analytics data | 26 months (configured within Google Analytics) |
Once the retention period expires, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual. If you request that your data be deleted before the end of the standard retention period, we will process that request within 30 days, subject to any legal obligations that may require us to retain certain records.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise commercially distribute your personal information to third parties. We share data only with the following categories of service providers, and only to the extent necessary for them to perform their functions on our behalf:
All third-party service providers with access to personal data are bound by contractual agreements that require them to protect the confidentiality and security of the information, use it only for the purposes specified by LearnPath, and comply with applicable privacy laws.
We may also disclose personal information if required to do so by law, such as in response to a valid court order, subpoena, or regulatory investigation by a Canadian authority. In such cases, we will disclose only the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with the legal requirement and will make reasonable efforts to notify the affected individual unless prohibited from doing so.
Our website is hosted in Canada, and we make reasonable efforts to ensure that personal information remains within Canadian borders. However, certain third-party service providers, particularly Google Analytics, may process data on servers located outside of Canada, including in the United States.
Where data is transferred outside of Canada, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. These may include contractual clauses between LearnPath and the service provider that require the recipient to maintain a comparable level of privacy protection. We also consider whether the destination country has privacy laws that the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada considers adequate.
For visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), please note that data transferred to Canada benefits from an adequacy decision by the European Commission, recognizing that Canadian privacy law provides an adequate level of protection under PIPEDA for commercial activities. For transfers to other jurisdictions, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms where applicable.
Under PIPEDA and applicable Canadian provincial privacy legislation, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. Under GDPR (for EEA visitors), additional rights under Articles 15 through 22 also apply. We respect and uphold the following rights:
You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, along with information about how it has been used and shared.
If any of your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or update it.
You may request that we delete your personal information, subject to any legal obligations that may require us to retain certain records.
You may request that we temporarily restrict the processing of your personal data while we verify the accuracy of the data or assess our grounds for processing.
Where applicable, you can request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format so it can be transferred to another organization.
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data that is based on legitimate interest grounds, including data used for analytics purposes.
Where processing is based on your consent (such as analytics cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew consent. You can withdraw consent by clearing your cookies, adjusting your browser settings, or contacting us directly.
To exercise any of these rights, please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request." We will acknowledge your request within five business days and aim to fulfil it within 30 calendar days. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing the request in order to protect against unauthorized disclosure.
If you are not satisfied with our response to your privacy concern, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC). For visitors from the EEA, you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
Our website is designed for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 years of age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 16, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us through our website, please contact us at [email protected] and we will work to promptly remove that information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice on our website (such as a banner notification).
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal information. Minor changes, such as formatting adjustments or clarifications that do not materially alter the substance of the policy, may be made without specific notification.
If a change materially affects the way we handle personal data you have already provided, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you and, where required by law, seek your renewed consent before applying the changes to your existing data. Continued use of the website after changes to this policy become effective constitutes acceptance of those changes.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the way we handle your personal information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We take all privacy inquiries seriously and will respond within five business days.
