OTHER IMPORTANT PRIVACY INFORMATION

Below you will find additional privacy information you may find important.

Use for personalization and pedagogical improvements

We aim to provide current and future users of each service with the best possible educational experience. We may conduct research intended to enhance Blankskript Academy’s instructional offerings and the quality of learning and related sciences more generally. To further these goals, we sometimes present different users with different versions of program materials and software. We do this to personalize the experience to the individual learner (assess the learner’s level of ability and learning style, and present materials best suited to the learner), to evaluate the effectiveness of our program materials, to improve our understanding of the learning process, and otherwise to improve the effectiveness of our offerings and teaching and learning more generally. We may publish or otherwise publicize results from this process, but will only share Personal Information as otherwise permitted under this Privacy Notice.

Links to other applications and websites

A service may contain links to websites and mobile applications published by third parties, including other content providers as well as certain service providers, such as those who process payments on behalf of Blankskript Academy. These other websites and applications are not under our control, and you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the collection and use of your information by such websites and applications. We encourage you to be aware when you are redirected to a third-party website or application and to review the privacy policies and terms of use of each website and application you visit and use.

Consent to processing outside home country

You understand and unambiguously consent to the collection, use, disclosure and retention of information in Malaysia and other countries and territories, for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Statement and the Blankskript Academy Terms of Use or such other terms of use as may be provided for the applicable service.
