Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Information You Give Us Directly

When you enrol in our programmes or contact us, we collect details you provide yourself. This typically includes:

• Your name, email address, and phone number
• Postal address for any physical materials we send
• Educational background and experience level
• Payment information when you enrol in courses
• Questions or feedback you share with us

Information We Collect Automatically

Our website picks up certain technical details when you visit. Nothing unusual—just standard web activity:

• Your IP address and general location (city level, not your exact address)
• Browser type and device information
• Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
• Links you click and files you download
• Referring website if you came from somewhere else

Course Activity Data

If you're enrolled in one of our learning programmes, we track your progress to help you get the most from the course. This includes assignment submissions, quiz results, forum participation, and project work. We use this to provide feedback and improve our teaching.

How We Use Your Information

Beyond the core education stuff, here's what else we do with your information:

• Send course updates, schedule changes, and important announcements
• Respond to questions you ask us
• Process payments and send receipts
• Improve our website and course materials based on how people use them
• Occasionally let you know about new courses or programmes that might interest you
• Comply with legal requirements and protect against misuse of our services

We don't sell your data to third parties. We're not in that business. Your information stays with us unless you ask us to delete it or we need to share it for one of the specific reasons listed in the next section.

When We Share Your Information

We keep your data pretty close to the chest, but there are a few situations where we need to share it:

All these third parties are bound by contracts that require them to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify. We don't just hand over your information to anyone who asks nicely.

Your Rights and Choices

UK data protection law gives you several rights over your personal information. These aren't just theoretical—you can actually exercise them.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We'll respond within a month. If you're unhappy with how we handle your request, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK's data protection authority.

How We Protect Your Information

Security matters to us. We use industry-standard measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction:

• Encryption for data transmission and storage of sensitive information
• Regular security assessments and updates to our systems
• Restricted access to personal data—only staff who need it for their work can see it
• Secure password requirements and authentication measures
• Regular backups to prevent data loss

That said, no system is completely bulletproof. While we do everything reasonable to protect your information, we can't guarantee absolute security. If we discover a breach that affects your data, we'll let you know promptly and take steps to minimise any harm.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We don't keep your information forever. Here's how long we typically retain different types of data:

You can ask us to delete your data earlier than these periods. We'll honour that request unless we have a legal reason to keep the information—like for tax purposes or if there's an ongoing dispute.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies. These are small files stored on your device that help the site work properly and give us analytics about how people use it.

Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function. These handle things like your login session and course access.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand which pages people visit and how they navigate the site. We use this to improve the user experience.
• Preference cookies: Remember your settings and choices so you don't have to re-enter them each visit.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this might affect how some features work. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones from our site.

Third-Party Links

Our course materials sometimes include links to external resources—game development tools, physics simulation software, industry articles, and such. We don't control these other websites and aren't responsible for their privacy practices.

When you click a link that takes you away from xorilex.com, you're subject to that site's privacy policy, not ours. We recommend reading their policies if you're concerned about how they handle data.

International Data Transfers

Our primary operations are in the United Kingdom, but some of our service providers operate servers outside the UK. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure adequate protections are in place through:

• Standard contractual clauses approved by UK authorities
• Adequacy decisions where the destination country has been deemed to have strong data protection laws
• Additional security measures as needed

If you're accessing our services from outside the UK, your data will be transferred to and processed in the UK where our operations are based.

Changes to This Policy

We review this privacy policy regularly and update it when needed. The date at the top tells you when we last made changes. If we make significant alterations that affect how we handle your data, we'll email active students and post a notice on our website.

Your continued use of our services after we update this policy means you accept the changes. If you disagree with the new terms, you can close your account and request deletion of your data.
