9. Automated decision-making

We make decisions on the basis of automated processing with respect to matters that may have (significant) consequences for individuals. These are decisions taken by computer programs or systems without human intervention.

At ABC Vascular, we utilize automated processes for decision-making to enhance user experience and provide relevant recommendations. These processes involve:

- Personalized Course Recommendations: Based on the courses a user has previously purchased, we may suggest additional courses at a discounted rate or highlight complementary topics to support their learning journey.

- Abandoned Cart Notifications: If a user has added a course to their cart but has not completed the purchase, we may send automated reminders or special offers to encourage completion of the transaction.

- Course Renewal Alerts: Since our courses provide access for a limited time (typically 12 months), we send reminders as the end date approaches, with options for renewal or updated offerings in related topics.

- Newsletter Content and Sales Offers: Based on a user’s purchasing history or course progress, we may tailor our newsletters to include specific promotions, updates, or content that aligns with their interests or needs.

-Targeted Ads (Google Ads and Meta): We use Google Ads and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) to reach users who have shown interest in our courses. This may involve retargeting ads based on previous visits to our site, interactions with our content, or interest in related topics. These ads are designed to keep users informed about relevant courses, special offers, and updates.


These automated processes are designed to add value to the user experience by delivering timely and relevant information. The logic behind these decisions is to cross-reference user activity, course completion status, and purchase history in order to provide personalized support, promotional offers, and reminders that align with the user’s interests and learning objectives.

10. Submitting a complaint

If you are not satisfied with the way in which we handle (a complaint about) the processing of your personal data, you have the right to submit a complaint to the Data Protection Authority.
