Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us.

At Digital Business College we have a few fundamental principles:

We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of one of our services.

In our blogging products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

Below is our privacy policy, which incorporates these goals.

If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please contact our support team.

Digital Business College operates several websites including “DigitalBusinessCollege.com’, DigitalBusinessCollege.ie”, “DigitalEnterpriseAcademy.ie’, ‘How-To-Make-100000-A-Year-With-Ebooks.com’.  It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

In order to provide you with the best service possible we also leverage resources supplied by 3rd party providers, including but not limited to, “WordPress.com”, “Paypal.com”, “Gravatar.com”, “Facebook.com”, and “Akismet.com” who operate their own privacy policies.  At no point do these providers collect or retain any personally identifiable information.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Digital Business College collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Digital Business College’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Digital Business College’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Digital Business College may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Digital Business College also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on WordPress.com blogs. Digital Business College only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Digital Business College’s websites choose to interact with Digital Business College in ways that require Digital Business College to gather personally-identifying information.

The amount and type of information that Digital Business College gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at WordPress.com to provide a username and email address.

Those who engage in transactions with Digital Business College, ie., by purchasing products or services, are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions.  In each case, Digital Business College collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Digital Business College.  This information is stored purely for your shopping experience and is encrypted and, as such. not accessible to any individual.

Digital Business College does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Digital Business College may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Digital Business College may monitor the most popular blogs on the WordPress.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Digital Business College may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Digital Business College does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
