Section 5 - Third Party Policies
Our website is hosted by Rackspace hosting services. Additionally, our courseware is hosted by TalentLMS, and both are provided as services to our customers. These companies are separate entities from Criterion and have their own privacy policies and procedures, which can be found at their respective links below.
Section 6 - Third Party Services
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, as stated above, third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and host providers, have their own privacy policies with respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your service and purchase-related transactions.
We strongly recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
Remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are in Canada, and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements. Some of our services contain integration with other services, such as TalentLMS, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and other services and platforms whose information practices may be different from ours. You should consult these other services’ privacy policies as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.
