Welcome to Dominie Limited. We know that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. Dominie Limited . (“Dominie,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides this Privacy Policy (“Policy” or “Privacy Policy”) to describe the information we collect, how we use it, and when and with whom we share it. This Policy applies to the general-audience Doninie website (the “Site”) located at www.dominie.org, the Dominie mobile device application (the “App,” collectively with the Site, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not access or use the Services.

For information about our child-permission to use website, please see our Children’s Privacy Policy located here for information on how we collect, use, and share personal information collected from children.
We collect information about you through providing our Services. The types of information we collect depends on the Services and the features you use on the Services. Please note that we need certain types of information to provide the Services to you. If you do not provide us with such information, or if you ask us to delete that information, you may no longer be able to access or use certain Services.
We may collect information that you provide directly to us through:

Your participation in surveys or when you fill out our forms;
Your request for information about our Services, such as when inquiring about our tutoring services;

Your subscription to newsletters;
Your registration for contests or promotions;
Your requests for support and/or technical assistance;
Your transmission of user content or other information to us; and
Any other communications you have with us.
The information you provide directly to us may concern you or others and may include, but is not limited to:

We may use such recordings for our internal business purposes, including without limitation for purposes of tutor evaluation, tutor training, dispute resolution, and improving our Services. Tutors may also create a tutor profile video.
Other Content and Other Information You Provide to Us: We collect additional content and information that you voluntarily provide us, such as content you submit when you, respond to surveys, use the classroom whiteboard, contact us via the Services or by e-mail.
You are not required to provide us with such information, but certain features of the Services may not be accessible or available, absent the provision of the requested information.
We may collect information about you or others through our affiliates or through non-affiliated third parties. For example, Dominie tutors may take notes on your conversations, based on information provided during tutoring sessions. We may combine information that we collect from you through the Services with information that we obtain from such third parties, such as if you sign in with a third party service or social media networks, and information derived from other products or services we provide.
Device/Usage Information. We and our third-party service providers, which include ad networks and analytics companies such as Google Analytics, may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to collect information about the computers or devices (including mobile devices) you use to access the Services. As described further below, we may collect and analyze information including but not limited to (a) browser type; (b) ISP or operating system; (c) domain name; (d) access time; (e) referring or exit pages; (f) page views; (g) IP address; (h) unique device identifiers (e.g. IDFA or Android ID); and (i) the type of device that you use. We may also track when and how frequently you access or use the Services, including how you engage with or navigate our website or mobile application. We use this information (including the information collected by our third-party service providers) for analytics (including to determine which portions of the Services are used most frequently and what our users like/do not like), to assist in determining relevant advertising (both on and off the Services), to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns, and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
Cookies and Other Electronic Technologies. We and our third-party service providers may use cookies, clear GIFs, pixel tags, and other technologies that help us better understand user behavior, personalize preferences, perform research and analytics, and improve the Services. These technologies, for example, may allow us to tailor the Services to your needs, save your password in password-protected areas, track the pages you visit, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage of our Services. We or our third-party service providers also may use certain of these technologies in emails to our customers to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
We may also use local shared objects (also known as "Flash cookies") to assist in delivering special content, such as video clips or animation. Flash cookies are stored on your device, but they are not managed through your web browser. To learn more about how to manage Flash cookies, you can visit the Adobe website and make changes at the Global Privacy Settings Panel.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but your browser may allow you to modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you disable cookies, you may be prevented from taking full advantage of the Services, because the Services may not function properly. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies, and cookie management tools available in a web browser may not affect flash cookies. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional information through other methods.
Location Information. When you use the Services, we may collect general location information (such as general location inferred from an IP address).
We use your information for business and commercial purposes, such as:

To respond to your questions or inquiries, including to provide support and troubleshooting assistance;
To communicate with you, including to communicate with you about your account, inquiries, our company, and related news, as well as to send you promotional emails, surveys, newsletters, or notifications;

To comply with our legal obligations or as permitted by law;
To protect the safety and/or integrity of our users, employees, third parties, members of the public, and/or our Services;
To prevent fraud and enforce our legal terms; and
To administer and troubleshoot the Services.
We may combine information that we collect from you through the Services with information that we obtain from affiliated and nonaffiliated third parties, and information derived from any other products or services we provide.
We may aggregate and/or de-identify information collected through the Services. We may use de-identified or aggregated data for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes and may also share such data with any third parties, including without limitation, advertisers, promotional partners, sponsors, event promoters, and/or others.
We may share or disclose your personal information for the following reasons:
Affiliates: We may share your information with Dominie affiliates.
Consent/At Your Direction. We may disclose your information to nonaffiliated third parties based on your consent to do so. Such consent includes the disclosure of your information (a) in order to connect you with a tutor or student or otherwise in a tutoring session; (b) when we have your permission, such as if you direct us to share information about a tutoring session on a social networking site; or (c) as described in this Privacy Policy, the User Agreement, or any other legal terms governing your use of the Services.
Service Providers: We provide access to or share your information with select vendors who perform services on our behalf. They provide a variety of services to us, including data storage, analytics, billing, marketing, product content and features, customer service, data storage, security, fraud prevention, and legal services.
Protection of Dominie and Others: We may share or disclose certain information if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary or appropriate to (i) protect or defend the rights, safety, or property of Dominie or third parties, including to defend or enforce our Privacy Policy, our User Agreement, or any other contractual arrangement; (ii) respond to your requests for customer service; and/or (iii) protect the rights, property or personal safety of Dominie, its agents and affiliates, its employees, users and/or the public.
Legal Requirements: We may share or disclose certain information if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary or appropriate to comply with any law enforcement, legal, or regulatory process, such as to respond to a warrant, subpoena, court order, or other applicable laws and regulations.
Business Transfer: We may share or disclose certain information, in connection with or during negotiations of any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
Aggregate/Anonymous Information: From time to time, we may share aggregate/anonymous information about use of the Services, such as by creating reports on usage trends. The sharing of such data is unrestricted.
Online Analytics and Advertising.
Analytics
We may use third-party web analytics services on the Services, such as those of Google Analytics. These service providers use the sort of technology described in the “Information we collect automatically” section above to help us analyze how users use the Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services. We also use Google Analytics for certain purposes related to advertising, as described in the following section. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
Advertising
We may allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Analytics, Meta, Facebook) to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services. We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services by non-affiliated, third-party ad technologies, ad servers, ad networks or any other non-affiliated third parties. Those parties that use these technologies may offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising as described below. You may receive tailored advertising on your computer through a web browser. Cookies may be associated with de-identified data linked to or derived from data you voluntarily have submitted to us (e.g., your email address) that we may share with a service provider in hashed, non-human-readable form.
If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored marketing, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative's (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Link and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance's (“DAA”) Consumer Opt-Out Link to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising or customize Google Display Network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertising content even if you opt out of tailored advertising. In that case, the advertising content will just not be tailored to your interests. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. If your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your NAI or DAA opt-out may no longer be effective. Additional information is available on NAI's and DAA's websites, accessible by the above links.
The laws of some jurisdictions such as the laws of the Data Protection Act (see your country's data protection laws as it applies) require data controllers to tell you about the legal ground that they rely on for using, sharing, or disclosing of your information. To the extent those laws apply, our legal grounds are as follows:
Contractual Commitments: We may use, share, or disclose information to honor our contractual commitments to you. For example, to comply with our User Agreement, which you accept by browsing or otherwise using our Services.
With Your Consent: Where required by law, and in some other cases, we use, share, or disclose information on the basis of your consent.
Legitimate Interests: In many cases, we use, share, or disclose information on the ground that it furthers our legitimate business interests in ways that are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected individuals, such as customer service, certain promotional activities, analyzing and improving our business, providing security for our Services, preventing fraud, and managing legal issues.
Legal Compliance: We need to use, share, and disclose information in certain ways to comply with our legal obligations.
We implement security measures to protect your information. It is important that you protect and maintain the security of your account credentials and you need to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account. Please understand that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.
Our servers are currently based in Nigeria so your personal information will be processed by us in Nigeria, where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world. By using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy and you consent to the transfer of all such information to Nigeria, which may not offer a level of protection equivalent to that required in the European Union, United Kingdom, or certain other countries, and to the processing of that information as described in this Privacy Policy.
This Supplemental Privacy Notice supplements the information in our Privacy Policy above, and except as provided herein, applies solely to Rivers State residents. It applies to personal information we collect on or through the Services and through other means (such as information collected offline and over the telephone). It does not apply to personal information we collect from our employees and job applicants in their capacity as employees and job applicants. It also does not apply to personal information we collect from employees, owners, directors, officers, or contractors of businesses in the course of our provision or receipt of business-related services.
Rivers State law requires us to disclose information regarding the categories of personal information that we have collected about Rivers State consumers, the categories of sources from which the information was collected, the business or commercial purposes (as those terms are defined by applicable law) for which the information was collected, and the categories of parties with whom we share personal information.
As described further in our Privacy Policy above, in the preceding twelve months, we or our service providers may have collected the below categories of personal information for business or commercial purposes:
Identifiers: We may collect identifiers such as name, email address, phone number, and other account information.
Commercial Information: We may collect commercial information, such as transaction data regarding the transactions you’ve made with or through us.
Demographic Information: We may indirectly collect demographic information through your profile information or tutoring sessions.
Financial or Payment Information: We or our service providers may collect payment or other financial information, such as to process payments for the Services.
Employment Information: We may collect employment and business contact information, such as job positions and titles, and business contact information.
Internet or Other Network or Device Activity: We may collect network or device information, such as an IP address, unique device identifiers, advertising and app identifiers, browsing history, or other usage data.
Location Information: We may collect general location information (such as those inferred from an IP address or time zone).
Sensory Information: We may collect sensory information, such as video and audio recordings of tutoring sessions.
Personal Information Related to Protected Classifications: Our users may provide us with information that reveals information related to protected classifications, such as ethnicity or nationality.
Other Information that Identifies or Can Be Reasonably Associated With You: We may also collect other information that identifies or can be reasonably associated with you, such as when you send us communications.
We collect the categories of personal information identified above from the following sources: (1) directly from you; (2) through your use of the Services; and (3) third parties such as social media networks and analytics or attribution partners.
We collect the categories of personal information identified above for the following business and commercial purposes:
Provide the Services (e.g., account servicing and maintenance, order processing and fulfillment, customer service, advertising and marketing, analytics, and communication about the Services);
Operational purposes (e.g. to enable and troubleshoot our Services);
Auditing consumer interactions on our site (e.g., measuring ad impressions);
Detecting, protecting against, and prosecuting security incidents and fraudulent or illegal activity;
Bug detection, error reporting, and activities to maintain the quality or safety of our Services;
Short-term, transient use, such as customizing content that we or our service providers display on the Services;
Improving our existing Services and developing new services (e.g., by conducting research to develop new products or features);
Other uses that advance our commercial or economic interests, such as third-party advertising and communicating with you about relevant offers from third-party partners;
Other uses about which we notify you.
Our Privacy Policy describes how we share personal information, such as when we share personal information with service providers or as required by law. In the previous twelve months, we may have shared certain categories of personal information with third parties (as that term is defined by the Rivers State Consumer Privacy Act) for business purposes. For example, if you are using the Services as a student, you may direct us to share your profile with Dominie tutors. Likewise, if you are using the Services as a tutor, you may direct us to share your profile with Cambly students and students can access video recordings of their tutoring sessions. The information in your profile may include the following categories of personal information: (1) identifiers; (2) demographic information; (3) information related to protected classifications; (4) audio/video data; and (5) other information that identifies or can reasonably identify you.
If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights. California law may permit you to request that we:
Provide you the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you in the last twelve months; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we shared personal information.
Provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you.
Delete certain information we have about you.
You may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any. You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. We need certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please submit a request through this form or at help@dominie.org. You will be required to verify your identity before we fulfill your request. If you have an online account with us, logging into your account will serve to verify your identity and request, although we may request additional information if we believe your account has been compromised. If you do not have an account with us, or if we have reason to suspect that the security of your account is compromised, we will request additional information from you to match with our existing records to verify your identity, depending on the nature of the request and the sensitivity of the information sought.
You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us.
The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that “sell” personal information, including opting out of the “sale” of their personal information. Although we do not believe we engage in the sale of personal information (and have not in the past twelve months) as we currently understand such term to be defined under applicable law and relevant regulatory guidance, we do share information as described in this Policy, including with certain analytics and advertising partners who perform certain services like analyzing our Services and showing you ads for Dominie.
Depending on how you use the Services, we may share the following categories of information with analytics and advertising partners: identification and demographics; device information and identifiers, such as IP address and unique advertising identifiers and cookies; connection and usage information, such as browsing history or app usage; and inference data. If you would like to opt out of Dominie’s use of your information for such purposes, you may do so by opting out as set forth above in the section on Online Analytics & Advertising.
Dominie is committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our Services for third party purposes. That is why we have provided links (above) to the NAI "Consumer Opt-Out" link, the DAA opt-out link, and a Google opt-out link. However, Dominie does not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do-Not-Track signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working on Do-Not-Track standards, implementations and solutions.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits customers of Dominie who are California residents to request certain information, once per year, regarding our disclosure of their personal information (as defined by California law) to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes, or in the alternative, that we provide a cost-free means for consumers to opt out of any such sharing. We do not currently share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
This Privacy Policy was last updated on 27 December, 2023.
This Privacy Policy is incorporated by this reference into the Dominie Service Agreement (the “Agreement”), located at [dominie.org]. The terms “Company,” “we,” and “us” means DOMINIE.

We do not accept liability for unintentional access, use or disclosure. If we learn of a security systems breach that affects your Personal Information, then we may either post a notice, or notify you by email and will take reasonable steps to remedy the breach.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, "COPPA") require us to inform you, as parents and legal guardians (as used in this section, "parents") about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing Personal Information from children under the age of 13 ("children"). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child's parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child's Personal Information.
This section notifies parents of:
● The types of information we may collect from children.
● How we use the information we collect.
● Our practices for disclosing that information.
● Our practices for notifying and obtaining parents' consent when we collect Personal Information from children, including how a parent may revoke consent.

Information We Collect from Children. Children can access some parts of our website and its content and use some of its features without providing us with Personal Information. However, most content and features of the Courses and Services are available only to Students of the registered accounts and require us to collect certain information, including Personal Information, from them. In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use the website.
We only collect as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in the educational activity in our Services, and we do not condition his or her participation on the disclosure of more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary.
Information We Collect Directly. We require the parent to create a child’s username and be logged in with their parent account before allowing the child to interact with portions of the website intended for children. We /the Instructor assesses the academic level of the child before the child takes any Course, and the child will be required to disclose information relating to his or her education during this process. The child will also be required to provide questions, answers, comments and other information when taking the interactive online Course with the Instructor (including, but not limited to course, assignment, and quiz completion activity, interchanges with the Course Instructors, answers to questions, essays and other items submitted to satisfy the Course requirements). We may request additional information from your child, but this information is optional. We specify whether information is required or optional when we request it.
Consent to Record the Course. We record each and every Session of the Course participated by both Student and Instructor, including the videos and voices of the Student and Instructor. The purpose of recording each Course is to allow the parent to review the study situation of the Student and to allow us to manage the performance of Instructors. The recorded videos will be kept strictly confidential and will be for our internal use only. We will not disclose the recorded videos to the public or share the recorded videos with any third parties without the parents’ express consent. For any Student under the age of thirteen, we will send a direct notice to the email address the parent submitted on our website and seek your consent to our recording in a return message, prior to the start of any Course.
If the parent decides to revoke a prior consent to our current recording practice at any time, we will block or blur the Student’s image and distort the Student’s voice to hide the Student's identity in the videos to be recorded after receipt of the parent's request.
We will use this email-plus-confirmation method to obtain your consent to our collection of other Personal Information from your child, whenever applicable.
Automatic Information Collection and Tracking. We use technology to automatically collect information from our users, including children, when they access and navigate through the website and use certain of its features. The information we collect through these technologies may include:
● One or more persistent identifiers that can be used to recognize a user over time and across different websites and online services

We may combine non-personal information we collect through these technologies with Personal Information about you or your child that we collect online. We do not merge information collected from children with behavioral advertising data.
