b) In case of registration request from Learners, verify their age for assessing the lack of legal power to register on the Platform and use the License, without prior and specific authorization of a Parent: the Processing of Personal Data is necessary to allow the Young Learner to access the Platform, and consequently, to register and use the License. 

 

c) Allow Users to register with a Group on the Platform and create a personal account: the Processing of Personal Data is necessary to allow Users to access to the Platform and, subsequently, use the License and any refusal prevents the User from using the License according to the provisions of the General Terms and Conditions. In particular, on the basis of specific access forms: (i) the registration on the Platform and the creation of a personal account for Young Learners are performed by a Parent, in the name and on behalf of the Young Learners; (ii) the registration of University Users takes place through the insertion by the Users of the University ID and the subsequent communication from the Universities to WeSchool of the Users’ Personal Data (e.g. name and surname). 

 

d) Provide the License in favor of Users, including the management of the administrative and accounting relationship deriving from the execution of the General Terms and Conditions and the sending of communications strictly related to the use of the License of a technical nature (e.g. notification of upload of a document or video on the Platform or advices on the use of the Platform and the availability of contents of a technical nature on the Platform) and / or of an administrative nature (e.g. updates to this Privacy Policy): the Processing of Personal Data is necessary to allow Users to access to the Platform and subsequently use the License and any refusal prevents the User from using the License according to the General Terms and Conditions.

 

e) Enable Users to make any payments provided on the Platform, upon identification of Users, for the Services offered for a fee by WeSchool or by other Educators: the Processing of Personal Data is necessary for the  provision or the use by the User of the Services offered for a fee on the Platform, and any refusal prevents the User from providing (in the case of Educators) or using (in the case of Learners) such Services according to the General Terms and Conditions. 

 

f) Verify and ascertain any illegal or fraudulent conduct on the Platform by Users, such as, for example, uploading and accessing illegal or fraudulent content (such as, for example, content of a violent, pornographic, obscene or discriminatory nature), or harmful to the rights (including the ones connected to image or intellectual property) and interests of third parties (including other Users), or in any case not suitable for supporting the training and education of the Learners: the Processing of Personal Data is necessary to protect the correct use of the Platform, in the interest of all Users, should an act or fact, negligent or willful by a User occur. 

 

g) Allow Learners to use the Services offered by WeSchool as Educator and manage the related administrative-accounting and after-sales relationship between Learners and WeSchool: the Processing of Personal Data is necessary for the use by the Learner of the Services offered by WeSchool as an Educator on the Platform and any refusal prevents the Learner from using these Services on the basis of the General Terms and Conditions and the Services Agreement between WeSchool and the Learner.

 

h) Carry out Direct Marketing by WeSchool, by sending information and advertising material, reporting and invitations to promotional initiatives: the Processing of Personal Data is optional and any refusal by the User prevents the latter from receiving Direct Marketing by WeSchool. 

 

i) Carry out the Profiling, following optional consent referred to in point 11 below,: the Processing of Personal Data is optional and any refusal by the User prevents the latter from taking advantage of Profiling on the preferences expressed by the same on the Platform to customize the License or the Services offered by WeSchool as an Educator (through, for example, the receipt of personalized Didactic Communications) and marketing activities both by WeSchool (referred to in the previous letter h) and third parties (referred to in the following letter j). 

 

j) Carry out marketing activities on behalf of third parties, following optional consent, relating to digital products and services useful to Users, such as courses, electronic devices for education and connectivity services, through statistical analysis and market research, sending information and advertising material (also through pop-up advertising on the Platform) and reporting and inviting promotional initiatives by such third parties: the Processing of Personal Data is optional and any refusal by the User prevents the latter from using marketing activities relating to third parties operating in sectors of interest to Users.

 

k) Perform statistical analysis, market research, improve the use of the License and the Services of WeSchool by Users. Where possible, to achieve this purpose WeSchool uses anonymous data (data that do not identify or make Users identifiable and which, therefore, do not constitute Personal Data): the Processing of Personal Data is optional and any refusal by the User prevents the latter from using the License and WeSchool’s Services more akin to User’s own preferences, without prejudice to the use of the License. 

l) Comply with legal obligations and enable WeSchool to ascertain, exercise and defend its rights in court or before any other competent authority: the Processing of Personal Data is necessary to protect the legal position, rights and interests of WeSchool with regards to the execution, interpretation and fulfilment of the General Terms and Conditions. In particular, if a User uploads content (such as texts, images and videos) on the Platform, WeSchool may retain the User’s Personal Data (including the Parent’s, in the case of a Young Learner), in order to protect itself in case of potential verification or assessments by the competent authorities or claims by third parties deriving from the upload of illegal content or otherwise harmful to the General Terms and Conditions.

11. Profiling

Automated processing of Users’ Personal Data in order to reveal their preferences on the Platform, and for evaluation and predictive purposes.

Profiling is carried out by WeSchool as follows:

 

a) context: Profiling can be associated both with WeSchool’s offering the Services on the Platform (by means of, for example, personalised Didactic Communication) and with the performance of marketing activities relating to WeSchool and/or third parties, as better described in point 4 above. Therefore, if the User accesses the Platform exclusively to use the Services and objects to WeSchool marketing (point 4 lett. f) or has not consented to third-party marketing (point 4 lett. h), the Profiling will only be carried out in connection with the Services, for improving for example the content of the Didactic Communication;

 

b) object: information concerning Users, e.g. age, education, location of the School of reference (where available), the type of Services used (e.g. educational courses);

 

c) legal basis: consent expressed, for example, by Teachers, Adult Learners, and Parents (on behalf of the Young Learners) flagging a box on the Platform;

 

d) rationale of Processing: (i) analysis and evaluation of the information collected regarding the Users as per letter b) on a statistical basis through the processing and comparison of all User Personal Data on the Platform; and (ii) classification of Users within homogeneous categories of Users to analyse or make predictions regarding their possible preferences;

 

e) purpose: to customise the Services and marketing activities based on User possible preferences and, therefore, improve Users’ degree of satisfaction with the Services provided on the Platform and in receiving WeSchool and/or third-party commercial and promotional communications. Profiling is therefore aimed at making predictions regarding the preferences and the future choices of the Users, based on the didactic content of the Platform;

 

f) effects for Users: use of the Services on the Platform or receipt of commercial communications that are in line with the interests and preferences expressed by Users in browsing the Platform and using the Services. In no way does WeSchool Profiling: i) constitute an automated decision-making process whereby legal or similarly significant effects derive for Users; ii) affect the behaviour and training or purchasing choices of Users; iii) have a prolonged and permanent impact for Users, considering that Personal Data collected by WeSchool can be independently updated at any time by Users; or iv) discriminate against Users.

g) in cases of automated processing, receive the Personal Data in a readable format, for the purpose of communicating them to a third party, or, where technically feasible, request that WeSchool send the Personal Data directly to the third party (right to Personal Data portability – Article 20 of the GDPR);

 

h) be informed by WeSchool without undue delay of any breaches or unauthorised access by third parties to WeSchool’s systems that contain the Personal Data (data breaches – Article 34 of the GDPR);

 

i) lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of the EU country where the User resides, works or where the User believes that his or her rights have been breached (Article 77 of the GDPR).
