1. Introduction

UOOLS - Universal of One Light School ("UOOLS," "we," "our," or "us") respects the privacy of learners, parents, teachers, applicants, and visitors. This Privacy Policy explains the information we collect, why we collect it, how it may be used, and the choices available to you when you use UOOLS websites, accounts, courses, applications, assessments, learning tools, and related services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

When an account is created, we may collect information such as:

• Name
• Email address
• Password hash and account credentials
• Account role, status, approval status, and account creation date
• Recovery, verification, and security-related account information

2.2 Learner Application Information

If you complete a UOOLS learner application, we may collect information such as:

• Date of birth
• Country, state or region, city, and time zone
• Optional pronouns
• Learning interests and primary learning goals
• Experience level and learning preferences
• Weekly study commitment and reasons for joining
• Written responses about your learning goals and what you are seeking
• Application status, administrative review notes, and requests for additional information
• Readiness, educational, community, and truthfulness acknowledgments

2.3 Educational Records

As you use UOOLS, we may create and maintain learning records including:

• Course enrollments and assigned learning paths
• Lesson progress and completion status
• Reading progress and bookmarks
• Homework assignments, responses, submission status, grades, and feedback
• Quiz attempts, selected answers, scores, and pass/fail results
• Certificates, completion records, portfolios, badges, or similar achievement records
• Learning preferences, participation history, and course-related activity

2.4 Technical and Security Information

To operate and protect accounts, UOOLS may automatically collect technical information such as:

• IP address
• Browser type and browser characteristics
• Device and operating-system information
• Session identifiers and login activity
• Trusted-device or device-token records
• Page requests, timestamps, referring pages, and error logs
• Failed login attempts, verification events, rate-limit events, and other security-related activity

IP addresses and device information may change for legitimate reasons. UOOLS may use these records as security signals and does not treat a changed IP address by itself as proof of account sharing or misuse.

2.5 Payment Information

If a paid UOOLS service is offered, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment provider. UOOLS may receive transaction identifiers, amount, status, dates, and other information needed to administer the purchase. UOOLS does not intend to store full payment-card numbers or payment-provider passwords in its own forms.

2.6 Communications and Support

If you contact UOOLS, we may retain your name, email address, subject, message, attachments when supported, and related correspondence so we can respond, maintain records, and investigate technical or account issues.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use information to:

• Create, authenticate, secure, and administer UOOLS accounts
• Review learner applications and determine access or learning placement
• Provide courses, lessons, homework, quizzes, books, tools, and other learning resources
• Save progress so learners can pause and return without losing their place
• Maintain accurate homework, quiz, certificate, and completion records
• Personalize learning spaces and recommend relevant materials when appropriate
• Send account, approval, application, course, security, and support communications
• Prevent fraud, abuse, automated activity, credential misuse, and unauthorized account access
• Detect possible account sharing and protect individual learner records
• Troubleshoot errors and improve reliability, accessibility, and usability
• Enforce UOOLS Terms of Service and other policies
• Maintain operational, security, educational, and legal records where appropriate

4. Information Sharing

UOOLS does not sell learner account information as a product. We may disclose information only when reasonably necessary to operate, secure, or comply with legal obligations related to the Service.

4.1 Service Providers

Information may be processed by providers that help UOOLS operate services such as hosting, email delivery, payment processing, security, analytics, database infrastructure, and technical support. These providers may receive only information reasonably necessary to perform their services.

4.2 Administrators, Teachers, and Authorized Personnel

Authorized UOOLS personnel may access learner information when needed to review applications, manage courses, grade or review work, provide support, investigate security issues, or perform school administration.

4.3 Legal and Safety Reasons

Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, lawful process, court orders, or valid government requests, or to investigate fraud, security threats, misuse, or harm.

4.4 With Your Direction or Consent

We may share information when you direct us to do so or otherwise provide appropriate consent.

5. Sensitive Learning and Reflective Information

Some UOOLS courses invite learners to write about personal beliefs, spiritual study, goals, reflections, or lived experiences. Learners should share only what they are comfortable placing in an educational system.

UOOLS treats these records as learner information and limits access according to the function being performed. However, no internet-based service can promise absolute confidentiality or security. Learners should not submit passwords, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, private medical identifiers, or other highly sensitive information unless a specific authorized UOOLS process clearly requires it.

6. Data and Account Security

UOOLS uses reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect accounts and learning records. Measures may include password hashing, session controls, access controls, bot and abuse protections, rate limiting, security logging, and account verification procedures.

UOOLS may also use IP history, browser or device characteristics, trusted-device records, login patterns, and security events to investigate unauthorized access or suspected account sharing. These signals may result in additional verification, session termination, trusted-device reset, temporary restriction, or administrative review.

No website, database, network, or security system can guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for protecting their passwords, verification codes, recovery methods, and devices and for notifying UOOLS if they believe their account has been compromised.

7. Your Privacy Choices and Requests

Depending on your relationship with UOOLS and applicable law, you may request to:

Some educational, security, transaction, or legal records may need to be retained even after an account is closed. Requests may require identity verification before changes are made.

8. Cookies, Sessions, and Similar Technologies

UOOLS may use cookies, sessions, browser storage, or similar technologies to keep users logged in, protect forms, remember preferences, maintain security state, support trusted-device functionality, and operate learning features.

Some optional analytics or third-party services may also use cookies or similar technologies if enabled. Browser settings may allow you to restrict cookies, but disabling essential cookies may prevent login or other account features from working correctly.

9. Children and Student Accounts

UOOLS may include learning features designed for students and families. Where a learner is a minor, account creation, enrollment, or use may require involvement or authorization from a parent, guardian, school, or other authorized adult, depending on the program and applicable law.

UOOLS may collect educational records necessary to provide student learning features. Parents or guardians should not instruct children to submit highly sensitive personal information through ordinary course responses or community areas.

If you believe a child has provided information to UOOLS without required authorization, contact us so the situation can be reviewed.

10. Changes to This Policy

UOOLS may update this Privacy Policy as the platform, security systems, learning programs, or legal requirements change. When material changes are made, we may update the "Last Updated" date and provide notice through the website, account interface, or other reasonable means.
