Personal Information We Gather
When you use Online-Follow, we collect specific types of personal information to ensure the platform functions effectively and delivers a personalized experience. Some of this data is required, while other details are optional and entirely up to you to provide. Let’s break this down:
Account Creation Information
To access our platform, we ask for some basic details such as your name, email address, and a secure password. For users enrolling in courses or certifications, additional information like your date of birth, education level, or professional background may be needed. This helps us tailor content to your learning goals.

As you navigate through Online-Follow, we collect details about how you interact with the platform. This includes the courses you view, the videos you watch, and your progress within each module. We also gather log data such as your IP address, device type, and browser preferences to improve your overall experience.

We may also collect optional details that you choose to share—like a profile photo, personal interests, or additional notes for instructors. While this is not required, it can enhance your engagement with peers and educators on the platform.
Data Usage Purposes
We use the information we collect to provide, improve, and secure our services. Your data enables us to deliver a seamless educational experience, but we want you to know exactly how it’s being used.
