Liquidtx Data Tracking Policy

Why We Use Tracking Technologies

Tracking technologies on the Liquidtx website refer to a broad set of tools—like cookies, web beacons, and others—that help us understand how people interact with our educational platform. These tools work by storing small bits of information on your device or by collecting data as you move through our site. For example, cookies might remember that you prefer to view content in dark mode, or web beacons may help us count how many students opened a particular lesson. We use these technologies both directly and through trusted partners, always with the purpose of making your experience smoother and more relevant.

Some trackers are absolutely necessary for the basic operation of Liquidtx. Without them, many core features simply wouldn’t work. For example, when you log in to your student dashboard, our system remembers your session using a secure cookie. Without this, you would get logged out every time you opened a new page. Tools like this also make sure your quiz progress is saved, and that your profile settings stick around as you navigate. For teachers, essential trackers make sure class rosters update in real time and assignments are saved reliably.

Beyond the basics, we use certain tracking technologies to personalize and enhance your experience. Functional trackers help us remember your preferences—say, the last course you accessed, or your preferred language. For example, if you always jump right into your math class, we might use a tracker to show that course first on your dashboard. These tools can also keep track of accessibility settings if you use screen readers or larger text sizes, making sure your learning environment feels just right every time you visit.

Analytical technologies help us understand which lessons are most engaging, which features are underused, and where students might be getting stuck. For instance, we might notice that a lot of students spend extra time on a particular video, or that users often search for certain study guides. By collecting this kind of information, we can make smarter decisions about where to add new tutorials or how to rearrange content so it’s easier to find. And honestly, there’s something kind of fascinating about seeing how learning patterns emerge across thousands of users.

In some cases, Liquidtx may use trackers for targeting or customizing content. This doesn’t mean we’re tracking you across the entire internet—instead, it means we might recommend courses based on what you’ve already studied, or highlight discussion threads that match your interests. For example, if you’re a science enthusiast, you might see science-related announcements or resources pop up more often. We do this to help you get the most out of your time on the platform, not to bombard you with irrelevant information.

The data we collect through these technologies benefits both you and Liquidtx. For students, it means faster load times, more relevant content, and a learning environment that remembers your needs. For us, it helps identify what’s working and what needs improvement—say, if a reading assignment is too challenging or a video is too long. Instructors also benefit, as analytics can show which materials are resonating with their classes. Ultimately, this cycle of feedback helps us make Liquidtx more effective and enjoyable for everyone involved in the learning process.

Managing Your Preferences

Your privacy matters to us, and you have several ways to control how tracking technologies are used when you visit Liquidtx. Depending on where you live, laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) may give you specific rights—such as the ability to say “no thanks” to certain types of tracking. We respect these rights and work to offer you clear options. You can always choose what categories of trackers you’re comfortable with, and we’re committed to making those choices easy to find and understand.

• If you use Google Chrome, you can manage cookies and site data by clicking the three-dot menu in the top right, selecting “Settings,” going to “Privacy and security,” and then “Cookies and other site data.” Here, you’ll find options to block or clear cookies, set site-specific rules, and review which trackers are active. In Mozilla Firefox, you can open “Preferences,” then “Privacy & Security,” where you’ll see controls for standard, strict, or custom tracking protection. Microsoft Edge and Safari offer similar paths—look for “Privacy” or “Cookies” in their settings menus. These controls let you limit or block trackers, though you’ll want to review what each setting does so important features aren’t accidentally disabled.
• On Liquidtx, you may see a preference center or pop-up banner that lets you review your tracking settings. Here, you can choose to accept only essential trackers, allow all, or pick certain categories—like analytics or personalization. If you want to change your mind later, just look for a “Privacy” or “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our site. We try to make these tools clear and straightforward, with explanations for each category so you can make informed choices.
• Disabling certain types of tracking may affect your experience on the Liquidtx platform. For example, turning off essential cookies might mean you can’t stay logged in or your quiz progress won’t save between sessions. Blocking functional trackers could stop us from remembering your preferred course order or accessibility settings, making the site feel less personalized. If you turn off analytics, we won’t see how you interact with lessons, which means we lose valuable feedback that helps improve our educational resources.
• If you prefer to manage your privacy with third-party tools, there are several well-regarded browser extensions and programs designed to block or limit tracking technologies. For instance, tools like Privacy Badger or Ghostery can help you see which trackers are active and decide which to allow or block. For educational sites like ours, these tools can be helpful—just be aware that blocking some trackers might disrupt features like live grading or real-time notifications, which are especially important for online learning.
• Finding the right balance between privacy and convenience is a personal decision. In my experience, students often want to keep their data private but also rely on the platform to remember their preferences and progress. Our advice? Take a few minutes to review your settings, read the explanations, and adjust things until you feel comfortable. You can always revisit your choices later if your needs change. For online learning, it’s usually best to keep essential and functional trackers enabled so you don’t lose access to important features, while being more selective about analytics or customization if you’re concerned about privacy.

Further Considerations

When it comes to how long we keep your data, Liquidtx follows clear retention schedules based on the type of information and the reason it was collected. For example, essential session cookies are usually deleted as soon as you log out or close your browser. Analytics data, by contrast, might be kept for up to two years so we can spot learning trends over time—but we regularly review and delete old records that are no longer useful. If you request deletion of your account, we remove all personal data within 30 days, except when we’re legally required to keep certain records, like those related to compliance or billing.

Security is a huge priority for us, and we use a mix of technical and organizational safeguards to keep your data safe. On the technical side, all data transmissions between your device and our servers are encrypted using industry-standard protocols, like HTTPS and TLS. We store information in secure data centers with restricted access, and regularly update our systems to protect against vulnerabilities. Organizationally, only authorized staff can access your data, and they receive ongoing training about privacy and security best practices. We also review third-party providers for their own security measures before sharing any information.

Sometimes, Liquidtx combines data from different sources to improve your learning experience. For example, if you link your account to a school or district, we may receive enrollment information or course lists that help us tailor content. We might also import assessment results or feedback from integrated tools, like learning management systems or digital textbook platforms. This data integration is handled carefully, and we always explain what information is being pulled in and why—so you’re not surprised by how your educational progress is tracked.

Compliance with privacy laws isn’t just a checkbox for us—it’s something we take seriously. We follow rules set out by the GDPR, CCPA, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which is especially important for educational services. These frameworks require us to be transparent about our practices, limit the data we collect to what’s necessary, and provide you with rights like access, correction, and deletion of your information. We also conduct regular privacy audits to make sure we’re living up to these standards.

For users outside the United States, we pay special attention to local regulations and cross-border data transfer rules. If you’re in the European Union, for example, we store your data on servers that comply with EU requirements and use standard contractual clauses when transferring information to partners in other countries. We also respond to region-specific rights requests—like the right to object to processing or to have your data exported in a portable format. Our support team is trained to help with these issues, so you’re never left in the dark about where your data goes or how it’s handled.

External Technologies

Liquidtx works with a number of external service providers to deliver a better educational experience. These external parties fall into several categories, including analytics platforms, content delivery networks, payment processors, and interactive tools. For instance, we might use a cloud-based analytics provider to help us see which lessons are most popular, or a video hosting platform to stream lectures efficiently. Each type of provider serves a distinct purpose, but they all play a role in making the site faster, more reliable, and more engaging for students and teachers.

• Analytics providers, such as Google Analytics or Mixpanel, typically collect information like your device type, browser version, time spent on each lesson, and your general geographic region. These data points help us understand how you use the Liquidtx platform—say, which courses are trending or where students tend to drop off. Payment processors, on the other hand, might collect billing information if you purchase premium content; they handle this data under strict security standards and never share sensitive payment details with Liquidtx.
• Each external party uses the information it collects for specific, well-defined purposes. Analytics data helps us see, for example, if students are getting stuck on a certain quiz or if a new feature needs tweaking. Video platforms use access logs to ensure smooth streaming and prevent abuse. In the educational context, these insights allow us to improve lesson design, tailor support resources, and offer better tools for teachers—like dashboards showing class progress.
• You can control how much data these external parties collect. Most analytics providers offer browser-based opt-out tools or settings you can adjust. For example, you can install a browser add-on to block Google Analytics, or use our in-site privacy controls to limit third-party tracking. Some video services also let you adjust streaming settings to minimize data sharing. We link to these controls in our privacy settings or provide instructions in our help center.
• To protect your information, we require all external providers to sign contracts that commit them to strong privacy standards. These contracts specify what data can be collected, how it must be protected, and what happens if there’s a breach. On the technical side, we use encryption and access controls to limit what information leaves our servers, and we never allow partners to use your data for their own advertising or unrelated purposes. Whenever possible, we anonymize or aggregate information before sharing it.

Alternative Technologies

Besides cookies, Liquidtx may use a range of other methods to collect information about how visitors interact with our educational platform. For example, web beacons (sometimes called clear GIFs or tracking pixels) are tiny, invisible images embedded in pages or emails. When your browser loads one of these beacons, it sends a signal back to our servers—telling us, for instance, that you opened a weekly progress report or clicked a resource link in a lesson. These tools are lightweight and don’t store information on your device, but they do help us measure engagement and track the effectiveness of specific materials.

Local storage and session storage are technologies that let us save information directly in your browser, but with some important differences. Local storage can hang onto data—like your preferred language or recent searches—even after you close your browser, making it easier to pick up where you left off. Session storage, by contrast, only lasts as long as your browser tab is open. We use these tools to remember quiz answers, track progress through modules, or preload study materials so you don’t have to wait for them to load every time. Data stored in this way is usually deleted automatically when it’s no longer needed.

In some situations, we use device recognition techniques to understand when the same user returns to our site from the same computer or mobile device. This might involve generating a unique but anonymous identifier based on your device’s settings—like screen resolution or installed fonts. The purpose here isn’t to track you across the entire web, but to keep your experience consistent. For example, if you set up accessibility options or join a specific class, device recognition helps us remember those choices the next time you log in.

Like many websites, our servers automatically log certain information whenever you visit Liquidtx. These server logs capture things like your IP address, the pages you view, the time and date of your visit, and any errors that occur. We use these logs to spot technical issues—say, if a lesson fails to load for lots of users—or to investigate security incidents. The logs aren’t linked to your identity unless it’s necessary for troubleshooting or compliance, and we regularly purge old logs once they’re no longer useful.

You have options for managing how these alternative technologies affect your privacy. For web beacons and pixels, you can adjust your email client settings to block images by default, which will prevent the beacon from loading. Local and session storage can usually be cleared from your browser’s privacy settings—look for “Clear browsing data” or similar options. For device recognition, turning off certain browser features or using private browsing modes can make it harder to identify your device. And if you want to control access to server logs, using a VPN or privacy-focused browser can help protect your IP address. We always encourage you to explore these settings and reach out if you need help finding the right balance for your learning needs.
