Privacy Policy
We care about your privacy. This policy describes how GardenVectorLoom protects and manages your personal information.
Information We Collect
When you use GardenVectorLoom's international cuisine creativity platform, we gather data to help us offer better educational experiences. This includes details you provide when creating an account, enrolling in learning programs, or reaching out to our support team.
- Personal identification information such as your name, email address, and contact details
- Educational preferences and cooking skill levels you specify
- Learning progress data from our creativity programs
- Communication records when contacting our support team
- Technical information about your device and browser to optimize the platform
We also collect anonymous usage analytics to understand how learners interact with our platform. This helps us improve course content and platform features without identifying individual users.
How We Use Your Information
Your data is used to support your learning experience on our platform. We process personal information to deliver educational content, monitor your progress through courses, and offer personalized recommendations for skill development.
We never sell your personal information to third parties. Your data stays within our educational ecosystem and trusted service providers who help us run the platform.
Email communications include course updates, new program announcements, and educational resources related to international cuisine creativity. You can adjust these preferences or unsubscribe at any time via your account settings.
Data Storage and Security
We store your information on secure servers located in India, in compliance with local data protection laws. Our technical team implements multiple layers of security including encryption, restricted access controls, and regular security audits.
- SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers
- Regular backup procedures to prevent data loss
- Access controls limiting which staff can view personal information
- Annual security assessments by independent cybersecurity professionals
Despite our safeguards, no online system is completely immune to security risks. We commit to notifying affected users within 72 hours if a data breach occurs that could compromise personal information.
Your Rights and Choices
Under Indian data protection laws and international privacy standards, you have several rights regarding your personal information. You can request access to all data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate data, or ask for deletion of your account and associated information.
To exercise these rights, contact our privacy team using the information below. We typically respond to data requests within 15 business days, though complex requests may take up to 30 days.
Deleting your account removes your profile, learning progress, and personal information from our active systems. We may still retain anonymized usage data for platform improvement purposes.
Sharing and Disclosure
We share personal information only in specific circumstances that support your educational experience or comply with legal requirements. This includes trusted service providers who help us deliver course content, process payments, or maintain our technical infrastructure.
- Educational content delivery partners who provide specialized cooking instruction materials
- Payment processors for handling course enrollment fees
- Cloud hosting providers who maintain our platform infrastructure
- Legal authorities when required by Indian law or valid court orders
All third-party partners sign agreements requiring them to protect your information to the same standards we maintain. They may only use your data for the specific services they provide to us.
Cookies and Tracking
Our site uses cookies to improve your browsing experience and remember your preferences. These small files help us recognize returning users and offer personalized content recommendations based on your interests in international cuisine.
You can manage cookie settings through your browser, though turning off certain cookies may limit some features. We use both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies that remember your preferences for future visits.
Children's Privacy
GardenVectorLoom's educational programs are designed for learners aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 without verifiable parental consent. If we learn that a child under 16 has provided personal information, we will delete that data promptly.
Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information to us should contact our privacy team immediately for assistance with account removal or data deletion.
Changes to This Policy
We periodically update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Significant changes will be communicated via email and prominent notices on our website at least 30 days before they take effect.
Continued use of our platform after policy changes indicates your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information.
