Our Commitment to Privacy

We completely respect your privacy at GoLearning. We will never sell, rent or give away your name, e-mail or address to anyone - ever.

We will use your e-mail address only to communicate with you about your orders or other distance-learning matters. Please note that if you register as a GoLearning client, your shipping details and billing details (minus credit card details) will be kept in a secure server for your use the next time you visit us.

However, this information is exclusively used for the handling of your orders and for your added convenience. It will never be sold, rented or given away to a third party.

If you have any questions or comments about how we handle your personal information, please ring us on +27-11-3154140 or e-mail us. You may also use these contacts to tell us about any concerns you may have about our privacy statement.

Security

Ordering from GoLearning is safe and secure. From the moment you initiate the purchase of one of our learning modules, you are on a secure server, using what is called SSL (secure socket layer) technology - the industry standard for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.

Paying for a course online

When you pay for a course online, you will be asked for :

  • details of a credit card;
  • an e-mail address; and
  • other contact information

These details are collected by :

They collect credit or debit card details over a secure link. We do not collect them and they are not made available to us or our approved learning providers. Virtual Card Services will use the personal information you provide to process your online payment and to refund any monies due to you if you cancel your enrolment in line with the terms and conditions on this website. When you make a payment online, Virtual card Services will use industry standard software, which encrypts your information. For further details about the security of this information, please refer to Virtual Card Services.
