What is your privacy policy?
When using the platform services, we do not collect your personal data.
How may I use the platform?
The objective of the platform is to promote the learning of the Latin language and to provide users with opportunities for improvement as well as contact, according to the needs of each, with qualified teachers. Your use of the platform should not prevent us from achieving these goals and should not prevent other users from learning the Latin language.
Who has access to the platform services?

What is an "account"?
An account is free and anonymous. It represents access to the platform's free services such as exercises and the module editor. It is saved locally on your device and allows you to save your progress in learning the Latin language and edit the modules you have created. No data identifying you personally passes through our servers.
Why create an account?
In order to use certain platform services, it is necessary to create a user account. If you do not wish to save your progress locally, you can simply recreate an account each time you log in. Note that the destruction or loss of an account implies not only the loss of your progress, but also the loss of access to the modules you have created.
How to create an account?
Simply provide a username or pseudonym of your choice and, if you wish, encrypt your data using a password. No email address or other personally identifiable data is requested. Please note that usernames are not unique. When creating and publishing content, you will be assigned a random sequence of characters (e.g. yourusername [x8s]). This helps other users distinguish you from other content creators and prevents impersonation.
What can I do with an account?
You have access to all the free services offered by the platform such as modules, challenges and the module editor.
How can I destroy my account?
All you have to do is destroy your save file. Only you have access to it. When an account is destroyed, access to modules created with this same account is lost. This access cannot be recovered.
Who owns the content I post?
By posting content on the platform, you acknowledge that you own all rights to it. You retain ownership of your content, but you grant us a worldwide, free, eternal, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, resalable right to use, copy, modify, adapt, distribute, store and publish your content and username. The content you publish is solely yours. TutorLatin assumes no responsibility and reserves the right to remove any inappropriate content without notice.
What about the fonts?
The reconstituted fonts available in the text-based modules were created by Juan-José Marcos. These fonts can only be used on TutorLatin but cannot be distributed. Please do not extract or attempt to extract them.
What can't I do?
- Do not use the service in such a way that it can no longer fulfill its objectives.
- Do not access or attempt to access non-public data.
- Do not use the Services for the purpose of promoting any product, person, policy or service or to distribute malicious code.
- Do not violate the applicable laws as well as the intellectual property of others.
