Personal information
The purpose of this website is to maintain a conversation about the common issues of learning Finnish and to get a variety of opinion through free-form feedback. It also illustrates some approaches to learning languages, which might benefit some users. This activity does not require any personal information. Users are encouraged not to include any proprietary, confidential, identifying or sensitive information when providing the free-form feedback, and you signify your acceptance that any information that you (or persons acting on your behalf) provide in your responses is not proprietary, confidential, identifying or sensitive.
We also run online activities and offer digital products via our space in Teams. This participation entails registration and personalized access links, which is why we request your (nick)name and email address.
Apart from Microsoft, we are using other third-party services: Pixpa website builder, Ukko.fi bookkeeping service, and Stripe payment processor. Please review these respective providers’ policies. For you to make payments via our website, we share information with Stripe and Ukko.fi. This is only done to the extent necessary to process the payments, or to make refunds and/or deal with the queries pertaining to the payments and/or refunds.
We are not responsible for the practices by the websites that link to or from www.virheellinen.com. Third party services and websites may have service policies and privacy policies of their own. The interaction and browsing of any other website, including the ones that have a link at www.virheellinen.com, is subject to that website's applicable terms and policies.
By submitting your personal data, you indicate that you have had sufficient opportunity to access and familiarize yourself with this Privacy Policy and accepted it.
Should you have any questions, please contact us. Should we receive your personal information from a third party, we will handle and protect it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Before you disclose to us the personal information of another person, you must obtain their explicit consent to disclosing and to processing the said personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
How do we use your personal information?
We use your personal information to provide you personalized access to our online activities, to process the transactions when you purchase our digital products (including, for the purposes of bookkeeping and taxation), and to keep you informed about the status of your purchases.
We also use your personal information to communicate with you when we handle your requests, complaints, or feedback. Furthermore, we use such information as anonymous (or anonymized) opinions, feedback and ratings to modify the website design and/or content, for example, to start a new thread about some empirical observations.
We occasionally publish in peer-reviewed or non-peer reviewed sources. We view our website and our online activities as a form of qualitative research, and we intend to use the collected anonymized data for the purposes of publication in scientific journals, articles, conference papers, or other media in future. We also reserve the right to use the collected anonymized data for developing learning apps.
We do not trade, rent, or sell your personal identifiable information to others. The information may only be disclosed when required by law.
We do not use your personal information for any sort of direct marketing, newsletters or advertising. Should you wish to find out what information we hold about you and/or should you wish to modify, update or delete any information collected, please send us a request. If you would like to familiarize yourself with the information we hold about you, we will request the relevant evidence of your identity.
Notice on apps
From time to time, we are running showcase events that illustrate some alternative approaches to learning foreign languages. Each showcase is usually built around a specific piece of language (e.g., a list of word combinations in Finnish). To make this experience more complete and personalized, we can offer prototypes of apps that organize the said pieces of language (e.g. Virheellinen Organizer).
Such prototypes are built for illustrative purposes, and their usage is optional. Usually, building a prototype relies on third‑party services, in which case the respective service provider’s privacy policies apply. Users are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the said policies before using the prototypes. The whole body of data that such providers collect may not be directly accessible to us. Users agree and recognize that they will be sharing their data with the said providers at their own discretion.
How do we store and secure your personal information?
We take reasonable precautions to ensure the security of the information shared with us. To secure the information transmitted over the Internet, we employ encryption. Upon receiving your data, we implement appropriate technical and logistical measures to protect it against misuse, loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. To safeguard your data, all financial transactions conducted through our website are encrypted.
Personalized access links
In order to provide you personalized access to our space in Teams, we will send you the temporary credentials. These include a login (that looks like [random name]at[michaeldemidoff.onmicrosoft.com]) and a password.
You agree to change the password after you first log in to the system and agree to be accountable for the security of your username and password. You accept and agree to treat the credentials as confidential, and you will not disclose them or hand them over to any other person or entity.
The access you get is a restricted Guest access to our organization’s space in Teams. You accept and agree to use this access solely to participate in our online events (including, discussions in the chat) and to use our Library of Materials. Any other usage of the Guest account or usage of apps with the Guest credentials (including but not limited to Outlook email, Forms, Office, etc.) is not allowed.
