This Privacy Policy describes how Pas Institute Inc., operating as PASInst, collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal information when you visit our website located at https://www.pasinst.buzz, contact our team, enrol in a program, or otherwise engage with our computer systems design and related services. We are committed to handling your information responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Please read this Policy carefully. By accessing our website or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the practices described here. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you should stop using our website and contact us with any concerns before providing further information. The developer of this website is PASInst, and we take the privacy of every visitor and client seriously.
This Policy applies to information we collect through the website, through email and telephone communications, and through our in-person and online programs and services. It also explains the choices you have about how your information is used and the steps you can take to exercise those choices. We review our practices on a regular basis to make sure they remain aligned with evolving legal requirements and the expectations of the people who trust us with their data.
PASInst is the online and operational identity of Pas Institute Inc., a company focused on computer systems design, computer integrated systems design, and related professional, scientific, and technical services. We support individuals and organizations through programs, consulting, and integrated technology solutions.
For the purposes of this Policy, Pas Institute Inc. acts as the data controller of the personal information described below. This means we determine the purposes and means by which your personal information is processed in connection with our website and services.
We collect several categories of information depending on how you interact with us. The categories we collect may include the following.
When you fill out our contact form, request a consultation, or enrol in a program, we may collect your full name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and any other details you choose to include in your message.
If you register for a program or create an account, we collect information needed to deliver that service, such as your login details, programme selections, progress records, and communication preferences.
When you browse our website, our systems may automatically collect technical data, including your Internet Protocol address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic data.
We retain records of communications you send to us, including email messages and support enquiries, so that we can respond accurately and improve our service.
We do not require you to provide more information than is necessary for the service you are requesting. Where a field in one of our forms is optional, you may leave it blank without affecting your ability to use the core features of our website. Any information you provide voluntarily, however, helps us serve you more effectively and respond to your enquiries with greater accuracy.
We collect information through three primary channels. First, we collect information that you provide directly, such as details submitted through our contact form, over email, by telephone, or during enrolment. Second, we collect certain information automatically as you interact with our website through the use of cookies and similar technologies. Third, we may receive information from third parties, such as payment processors or partners, where you have authorized those parties to share data with us.
We only collect the information that is reasonably necessary to provide our services, respond to your requests, and operate our business. We do not collect sensitive categories of personal data unless it is voluntarily provided and directly relevant to a service you have requested.
In all cases, we aim to be transparent about what we collect and why. If you have questions about whether a particular piece of information is required, or how it will be used, you are welcome to contact us before submitting it. We would rather answer a question up front than collect data that turns out to be unnecessary.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes. We use contact and identity information to respond to your enquiries, provide requested consultations, and communicate about our programs and services. We use account and enrolment information to deliver educational programs, track progress, issue certificates, and provide support. We use technical information to maintain, secure, and improve our website, to understand how visitors use our site, and to diagnose and resolve technical problems.
We may also use your information to send you administrative messages, such as updates to this Policy, confirmations of enrolment, or notices about your account. Where permitted by law and where you have provided consent where required, we may send you information about programs or services that we believe may interest you. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.
We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects without human involvement. Where any automated processing is used, it is limited to operational functions such as routing enquiries, formatting communications, or aggregating statistics, and it is always subject to human oversight.
Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on one or more of the following grounds. We process information where it is necessary to perform a contract with you, such as delivering a program you have enrolled in. We process information where we have a legitimate interest in operating and improving our business, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. We process information where you have given clear consent, and we process information where it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
When we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors navigate our pages. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use essential cookies that are required for the website to function, preference cookies that remember your choices, and analytics cookies that help us measure and improve performance.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website. For more detail on how we use cookies, you may contact us at any time using the details in the Contact Us section below.
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies on an individual basis, and many also offer a private browsing mode that does not retain cookies after you close the session. We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, and we do not allow third party advertising networks to track you across the wider web through our site.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the limited circumstances described here. We may share information with service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, payment processing, email delivery, and analytics, and who are contractually required to protect that information. We may share information with professional advisers, such as legal or accounting firms, where necessary. We may disclose information if required by law, in response to a valid legal request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, our users, or the public.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, to satisfy legal or accounting requirements, or to resolve disputes. The specific retention period depends on the nature of the information and the purposes for which it was collected. Contact form enquiries are typically retained for the period needed to resolve the enquiry and any related follow-up. Enrolment records are retained for the duration of your program and for a reasonable period afterward as required by applicable law.
When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
If you would like to know how long we intend to keep a specific category of information, or if you would like us to delete information earlier than our standard schedule, you may contact us and we will consider your request in accordance with applicable law and any legal obligations that require us to keep certain records.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include secure transmission protocols, access controls, and regular review of our security practices. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials you use on our website, and you should notify us promptly if you suspect any unauthorized access to your information.
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the right to access the information we hold about you, the right to correct inaccurate information, the right to request deletion of your information, the right to restrict or object to certain processing, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the Contact Us section. We will respond to your request within the timeframes required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before fulfilling the request.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a relevant supervisory authority if you believe that we have not handled your information in accordance with applicable law. We encourage you to contact us first so that we have the opportunity to address your concerns directly and resolve the matter to your satisfaction.
Pas Institute Inc. is located in Canada, and your information is processed primarily in Canada. Where we engage service providers located in other countries, your information may be transferred to and processed in those jurisdictions. When we transfer information internationally, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect that information in accordance with applicable law.
By using our website and services, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions whose data protection laws may differ from those of your own.
In each case, we take reasonable steps to ensure that any recipient provides an adequate level of protection, whether through contractual clauses, recognized certification, or other appropriate mechanisms. If you would like further information about the safeguards we apply to a particular transfer, please contact us using the details in the Contact Us section.
Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of thirteen, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children online activity and to help enforce this Policy by instructing children never to provide personal information through our website without permission.
Our website may contain links to third party websites or services that are not operated by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party websites or services you visit or use.
When you use a third party service that we integrate with, such as a payment processor, the handling of your information may be governed by that third party terms and policies in addition to this Policy.
We recommend that you review the privacy policies of any third party before providing information to them. If you navigate away from our website through an external link, we encourage you to confirm that you are comfortable with the privacy practices of the destination site, since those practices are outside our control.
Some web browsers provide a Do Not Track signal that requests websites not to track your browsing activity. At this time, our website does not respond differently to Do Not Track signals because there is no consistent industry standard for how such signals should be interpreted. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices as standards evolve.
You can also manage tracking preferences directly through your browser settings, including through cookie controls and private browsing modes.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will update the last updated date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice through our website or other channels.
We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of our website after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
If we make a material change to this Policy, we will provide a more prominent notice, such as a message on our homepage or a direct communication where we have your contact details. We will not use your personal information in a manner that is materially different from what was described at the time of collection without providing you with an opportunity to understand and, where required, consent to that new use.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our handling of your personal information, please contact us using the details below.
We will respond to your enquiry as promptly as possible and will work with you to address any concerns you may have.
