Privacy Policy (updated on June 5, 2024)

At HackerInTheHouse Certifications (“HITH Certs”), we take the privacy and security of your personal information very seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the data you provide when participating in our certification programs.

Information We Collect

To enroll in a certification program or exam, you must provide your full name, contact information (email, phone), home/business address, and photo identification. We collect this information directly from you during the registration process. 

We may also collect additional employment information such as job title, company name or academic institution if relevant for certification prerequisites or requirements.

For certain programs, we may need to collect other data like birthdate, education details, professional licenses or IDs to verify eligibility.

We automatically log some technical data like IP addresses, browser information and pages accessed on our certification websites to ensure security and improve our services.

Data Handling and Security

We restrict access to your data to only those employees or contractors who need it for administering certification programs or providing related services.

We utilize industry-standard technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. Data is encrypted when transmitted over the internet.

All HITH Certs staff who handle your information are bound by strict confidentiality obligations.

Third-Party Service Providers

We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers that perform functions on our behalf related to certification and exam administration. These providers are contractually bound to protect data per this policy.

Data Retention 

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the certification process and maintenance of your certification records. Data is deleted or anonymized after the relevant period unless otherwise required by law.

Your Choices

You may access, update or delete certain personal information in your certification account. You may also object to or restrict certain data processing activities related to your certification records.
