CyberItalian has always been strongly committed to protecting the privacy of its Members and Visitors, even before the enforcement of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on May 25, 2018. Throughout cyberspace, CyberItalian wants to contribute to providing a pleasant and safe environment for consumers. CyberItalian does not disclose, sell, share or rent any private information that you may give us to any third parties.

 

CyberItalian uses two types of registration:

 

1) Subscription to the CyberItalian free newsletter mailing list.

Users who wish to receive our newsletter can register through our home page and provide us only with their email address. CyberItalian does not disclose, sell, share or rent any email address to any third parties. At any time, subscribers may automatically unsubscribe, and their email address will be deleted.

 

2) Registration for the CyberItalian membership, tutored courses, programs or private lessons.

Users who wish to purchase our membership or Italian language courses, programs or private lessons are required to register online through our secure and encypted registration form, and provide our payment processing agents (e.g PayPal, credit card processors, etc.) with the necessary information to complete the payment and registration.

Submitting private information via the website. When users submit their private information via the website, their information is protected both online and off-line. Your credit card transaction will be authorized through a credit card processor. The personal information you provide to register with CyberItalian services is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt and scramble data before you send it to us. While on a secure page, such as our registration form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browser or in the url address becomes locked. You may also double check if the address line shows "https:" to make sure that you are currently on a secure page. While we use software encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information offline. All of our users information is restricted to our office and to offices of vendors contracted to us. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers used to store personal identifiable information are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked enclosure, managed by our hosting provider.

 

Users can request the cancellation of all their personal data at any time, by emailing admin (at) cyberitalian.com or using the website contact form.
