Cookies:   e-Training   maintains   cookies   on   your   system.   One   to   track   your   progress   in   your   courses   and   others   to   track   each   session   so your experience is smooth and responsive. Course   Completion:   OETC   uses   your   course   completion   status   and/or   marks   to   update   the   regulator   in   your   jurisdiction   if   your   course   is regulator approved. Grades,   Marks   and   Course   Completion:   This   information   will   be   made   available   to   your   employer   if   you   are   part   of   a   company   or municipal group. If you are your internal administrator will inform you of your membership in this group. Upon   course   completion,   student   information   such   as   marks   and   registration   is   deleted.   The   course   completion   certificate   is   retained   for up   to   5yrs.   Similarly,   activity   logs,   IP   addressing   and   other   security   and   anit-plagiarism   /   anti-cheating   data   is   retained   for   a   period   of   up to 5yrs. Financial:   All   credit   card   information   is   handled   by   a   third   party   (Paypal)   and   as   such,   OETC   does   not   retain   or   record.   Invoicing information is kept in off-line / non-networked files. All   data   and   information   regarding   users   is   available   for   viewing   by   OETC’s   Managing   Director.   Partial   responsibilities   are   delegated from the Managing Director so it is this position that maintains full responsibility to keeping your information safe. 11.0 Cheating and Plagiarism We   at   OETC   take   the   act   of   cheating   &   plagiarism   very   seriously.   Due   to   the   technological   nature   of   our   program   delivery,   we   have   the ability   to   conduct   various   authentication   strategies   in   flagging   potential   cheating.   If   our   system   suspects   an   instance   of   cheating,   it   will flag   the   suspected   accounts   for   closer   scrutiny   by   human   eyes.   If   our   investigator   suspects   a   case   of   cheating,   we   can   institute mandatory   authentication   on   all   suspected   user   accounts.   If   suspected   cheating   has   been   narrowed   to   a   company   or   municipality   and not a user, all students from that company or municipality may be required to undergo mandatory authentication. If   you   have   been   found   guilty   of   cheating   by   an   OETC   investigation,   your   account   will   be   terminated   and   you   will   be   restricted   from taking   Director/Regulator   Approved   courses   via   our   e-Trainer   system   for   a   minimum   of   1yr   throughout   which   time   no   CEU’s   can   be acquired.   During   this   suspension,   we   reserve   the   right   to   terminate/block   all    IP    addresses   used   throughout   the   life   of   your   account.   This means   that   if   you’ve   taken   courses   at   your   workplace,   you   jeopardise   the   entire   workplace   from   being   suspended.   Your   workplace   may have   the   ability   to   re-instate   it’s   access   by   committing   in   writing,   that   the   cheating   individual(s)   will   be   bared   from   accessing   the   OETC   e- Trainer   System   while   on   workplace   computers.   OETC   reserves   the   right   to   require   User Account   restrictions   at   the   workplace   to   ensure the integrity of our system, to facilitate reinstatement of a workplace IP address. If   you   suspect   a   colleague   of   cheating,   please   contact   us .   We   will   take   all   precautions   to   keep   whistle-blower   information   anonymous; however, we will not guarantee anonymity in cases of false reporting. Suspected   individual(s)   will   have   the   right   to   explain   and   defend   before   final   action   is   taken,   however,   OETC   reserves   the   right   to institute    periodic    authentication    without    notice    to    the    student.    OETC    does    execute    randomized    authentication    procedures    when accessing   quizzes   and   certificates.   If   you’ve   had   an   Authentication   call   /   email   /   e-message,   please   don’t   be   alarmed,   as   you   may   be experiencing a randomized procedure. Finalized cases of cheating will be reported to the provincial or state certification regulator representative.
