Display of Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) class alumni information

When a Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) Certified Lean Agile Audit Professional Trainer (CLAAP – T) submits your personal data for the purpose of issuing a class certificate or credential, you are automatically set up as a “member” of Lean Agile Audit University: LAAU Class Alumni with an account on the Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) website.

Public classes

If the affiliated trainer communicates to us that a class was “public” and not private, then your alumni profile page will be publicly viewable by anyone (unless “hidden” as described below). You automatically created Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) Alumni profile page displays:

Your full name, as submitted by the class instructor

The class(es) you attended, including class name, class type, date, location, instructor

Your digital class certificate of completion and your digital credential

Any additional information that you have added including a bio or photo

In addition to the profile page, your full name and photo will be displayed in the Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) Alumni directory on the Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) website and on the class page for each class you attended. This is publicly viewable by anyone. You are also findable through the search feature on the LAAU Class Alumni webpages.

A trainer has the option to set a public class to Private Group Visibility, meaning that the class will only be visible to students of that class when they are logged into their Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) alumni accounts.

Private classes

If the Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) affiliated trainer indicates that the class was “private” rather than public, the class will only be visible to members of the class when they are logged in to their Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) website account.  The class page, the student profile pages for that class, and the student listings (for that class) in the Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) Alumni directory will not be visible to anyone else. The class details and the class attendees are only visible to attendees of that class, the class instructor, and the Lean Agile Audit University administrators when logged in to the Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) website.

Hidden student status

Upon request, your Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) Class Alumni student information can be “hidden”.  This means that even if the class is “public”, the student will be invisible to anyone but themselves, the class instructor, and the Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) administrators. This would enable you to still have a class certificate and credentials that you can access but no one else could see your student profile page or your name in the Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) Class Alumni directory listing.

Managing your class alumni data

To request your student account be set to “hidden” status, or that your student account is deleted entirely, please email info@leanagileaudit.university  Note that deleting your student data will delete any previously created class certificates or credentials.

Search engine findability

Each Class Alumni profile page and certificate are blocked from pick up by search engines. However, your listing in the broader Lean Agile Audit University (LAAU) Alumni directory, or the class page, may appear in an internet search.

Third-party websites, Social Media networks, Advertising

Our websites and emails may contain links to third-party apps, services, tools, and websites that are not affiliated with, controlled, or managed by us (including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter) and these services and links may also include social networking features (such as the Facebook “Like” button and widgets, “Share” buttons, and other interactive mini-programs).

Additionally, some of our training courses offered through Lean Agile Audit University Services may be run by partners or affiliated trainers with whom we are collaborating. For example, Lean Agile Audit University Services may run a class that is organized and/or taught by a Certified Lean Agile Audit Professional Trainer not directly employed by us. They will need your personal data so that you can be enrolled in the training and in any certification processes available for that training course such as Lean Agile Audit University certification. We will share only relevant information. This will normally include your name, email address, and phone number in case of an emergency. If we need to share any extra information, for example, a correspondence address for training materials to be posted to you, a member of the Lean Agile Audit University staff will contact you prior to the data share to verify you are happy for us to share this information.

We partner with third-party networks such as Google AdWords to manage our advertising and may serve you ads on other websites based on your interests. You can opt-out of seeing Lean Agile Audit  University ads on those specific websites.
