Google Analytics & Facebook Pixel
Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) and Facebook Pixel to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people who use our site, in order to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to see their journey through the site.
Letstudy also uses the following features of Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel based on showing ads: Repetitive marketing, Google Network display reports, Doubleclick Campaign Manager integration, and demographic and interest reports. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, web browser, and operating system, none of this information identifies you personally. GA also records your computer's IP address, which could be used for your personal identification, but Google does not give us access to it. Using Ads Settings, visitors can opt out of Google Analytics for displaying ads and customize Google Network Display ads.
Letstudy uses repetitive marketing with Google Analytics and Facebook pixel for online advertising. Third-party suppliers, including Google, may display our ads on Websites. Letstudy and third-party suppliers, including Google, use third-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to update, optimize, and show ads based on the past visits of some users on our website. Google interest-based advertising data or third-party audience data (such as age, gender and interests) is used in conjunction with Google Analytics to display advertising messages to a selected audience.
Data collection & concession to third parties
At Letstudy we oppose any collection of personal data for the purpose of transfer or sale to third parties. Any collection of personal data during user registration in Letstudy will be solely used for our communication or for informing users via email (Newsletter).

Your information will remain in the Letstudy database for as long as you continue to use our services. You can delete your account at any time, an act that will result in the deletion of your data from the Letstudy database.
When you participate in a course, information such as your email and/or your public username, are shared with the course instructors and teaching assistants. This happens only in order to achieve basic functions of the course e.g. correction of the exercises if they are not done in an automated way by the system. None of the above information is retained by teachers and teaching assistants after the completion of the course.
Furthermore, statistical data may be collected regarding the duration of attendance and the number of repetitions of each video lecture, the student’s participation in the activities of each course as well as their score in each activity. In any case, this data is collected anonymously. Letstudy collects and stores personal data when the user:

PSD 2 requires Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) for online purchases by credit, debit or prepaid card. For this reason, Letstudy, during the purchase of a course, will ask you to fill in the fields Country, Address, City, Region and postal code (ZIP). It is obligatory to send this information to the bank so that Letstudy is in compliance with the above regulation.
