Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 14, 2026

At IGRS Learning, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We will never sell your data.

1

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you register, we collect your name, email address, and a hashed password. If you sign in via Google, we receive your name, email, and profile picture from Google.

Course & Learning Data

We record which courses you enroll in, your lesson progress, quiz scores, and certificate completions. This data is used exclusively to track your learning journey and generate certificates.

Payment Information

Payments are made through bKash. We never ask for or store your bKash PIN or any banking credentials. To confirm a payment we keep the bKash Transaction ID, the bKash number you paid from and the amount, for record-keeping.

Usage Data

We automatically collect anonymised data such as pages visited, time on site, browser type, and device type via Google Analytics. This data cannot identify you personally.

How We Use Your Information

Service Delivery

Your account data is used to authenticate you, grant access to enrolled courses, track progress, and issue certificates of completion.

Communications

We may send you transactional emails (enrollment confirmation, password reset, certificate issuance). We will only send marketing emails if you have opted in, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Platform Improvement

Aggregated, anonymised usage data helps us understand which content is most valuable and where we can improve the learning experience.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

We Do Not Sell Your Data

IGRS Learning does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes.

Service Providers

We share limited data with trusted service providers who operate under strict confidentiality agreements: Cloudflare R2 (file storage), Google (authentication & analytics), and our payment processor. These providers may only use data to fulfil their service to us.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose personal data if required by Bangladeshi law, a court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

Data Security

Technical Safeguards

All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and never stored in plain text. Access to production databases is restricted to authorised personnel only.

Storage

User data is stored on servers located in secure data centres. Media files (course thumbnails, videos) are stored on Cloudflare R2 with access-controlled URLs.

Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware, in compliance with applicable regulations.
