When you register for an Account or interact with our platform (e.g., simulators, study materials), we may ask for your contact information, including items such as name, institution, email address, and academic preferences. This information is strictly used to tailor the educational experience to your needs.

3. Log Files and Analytics

Smart Classroom follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and are a part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information to ensure our educational resources are reaching the right audiences effectively.

4. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other website, Smart Classroom uses "cookies". These cookies are used to store information including visitors' preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.

Cookies are small data files placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, you can consult your browser's official documentation. We use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our website.

6. Advertising Partners and Third-Party Policies

Some advertisers on our site may use cookies and web beacons. Our advertising partners include Google AdSense and potentially other educational affiliates. Each of our advertising partners has its own Privacy Policy for its policies on user data.

Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Smart Classroom, which are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.

Note that Smart Classroom has absolutely no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers. We advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information.
