Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

When you engage with Celestialdatafusion's photography education platform, we collect various types of information to provide you with personalized learning experiences and improve our services. Here's what we gather and why it matters for your creative journey.

Personal Information You Provide

Technical Information We Automatically Collect

Our platform automatically gathers technical data to enhance your learning experience. This includes your device information, browser type, IP address, and how you navigate through our courses. We also track your learning progress, course completion rates, and engagement patterns to recommend relevant content and improve our educational offerings.

How We Use Your Information

Your information serves multiple purposes in creating a rich, personalized photography learning environment. We're not just collecting data for the sake of it — every piece of information helps us deliver better educational experiences tailored to your creative development needs.

We also use aggregated, anonymized data to understand broader learning trends in photography education. This helps us develop new courses, identify popular techniques, and improve our overall platform effectiveness without compromising individual privacy.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We believe in transparency about when and why we might share your information. Generally speaking, we keep your data within our educational ecosystem, but there are specific circumstances where sharing becomes necessary for service delivery or legal compliance.

Educational Service Providers

To deliver comprehensive photography education, we work with carefully selected partners. These include photography instructors, guest experts, and technical service providers who help power our platform. All partners are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and can only use your information for the specific educational services they provide.

When We Must Share Information

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your creative work and personal information is fundamental to everything we do. We've implemented comprehensive security measures that go beyond basic requirements, because we understand how valuable your photography portfolio and learning data are to your creative development.

Technical Security Measures

Our team receives ongoing security training, and we maintain strict protocols for handling your photography uploads and personal information. We also monitor our systems continuously for any unusual activity or potential security threats.

Your Role in Data Security

While we handle the technical side of security, you play an important role too. Use strong, unique passwords for your Celestialdatafusion account, and never share your login credentials. If you notice any suspicious activity or receive unexpected communications claiming to be from us, contact our support team immediately.

Your Privacy Rights and Controls

You have significant control over your personal information and how we use it. These rights aren't just legal requirements — they're part of our commitment to giving you transparency and control over your learning data and creative work.

Access and Portability Rights

You can request a complete copy of all information we have about you, including your learning progress, uploaded photography work, and account details. We provide this data in commonly used formats, so you can easily transfer it if needed. This typically takes 3-5 business days to compile and deliver securely.

Correction and Update Rights

Keep your profile information current through your account settings, or contact us directly for help updating your details. This includes changing your photography interests, skill level assessments, or any personal information that might affect your learning experience.

Deletion and Restriction Rights

Data Retention and Deletion

We don't keep your information forever. Our retention policies balance your need for continued access to your learning materials with privacy best practices and legal requirements. Different types of data have different retention periods based on their purpose and importance to your educational journey.

Active Account Data

While your account remains active, we maintain your course progress, photography portfolio, and learning preferences indefinitely. This ensures you can always return to your studies and continue where you left off, even after breaks in your learning schedule.

Account Closure and Deletion

When you close your account, we begin a staged deletion process. Your photography uploads and personal portfolio are deleted immediately upon request. Learning progress data and account information are retained for 24 months to handle any billing disputes or accidental deletions, then permanently removed from our systems.

International Data Transfers

While Celestialdatafusion operates primarily in India, some of our technical infrastructure and educational partners are located internationally. We want to be transparent about when your data might be processed outside India and what protections we have in place.

Our primary servers are located in India, but we use international cloud services for backup storage and content delivery. These services help ensure fast loading times for course videos and reliable access to your photography learning materials. All international partners must meet strict data protection standards equivalent to Indian privacy laws.

Transfer Safeguards

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like most educational platforms, we use cookies and similar technologies to improve your learning experience. These small pieces of code help us remember your preferences, track your course progress, and provide personalized recommendations for your photography education.

Types of Cookies We Use

You can control cookie settings through your browser, though disabling certain cookies might affect platform functionality. We don't use cookies for advertising or tracking across other websites — they're focused solely on improving your Celestialdatafusion learning experience.

Children's Privacy Protection

Photography education appeals to learners of all ages, but we take special care when it comes to younger users. Our platform is designed for users 16 years and older, though we welcome younger photography enthusiasts with appropriate parental involvement.

For users under 18, we require parental consent before account creation. Parents can review their child's learning progress, uploaded photography work, and account settings at any time. We collect minimal information from younger users and focus primarily on educational content delivery rather than detailed personal profiling.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Privacy practices evolve, and so does our policy. We review and update this document regularly to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or privacy best practices. When we make significant changes that affect how we handle your information, we'll notify you directly.

We'll email you about major policy updates at least 30 days before they take effect. For minor clarifications or technical updates, we'll update the "last modified" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
