Steppingstones understands and respects your rights to confidentiality and privacy. We, therefore, promise to never disclose or share your individual data with any outside party.

Here is how the data collected on this website will be used.

e-Learning Centre

Although some of our e-Learning and tutorials have a quiz included within them, NO data is collected or recorded from your responses to these tests. These incorporated quizzes are strictly an interactive feature for your own feedback.

Test and Quiz Centre

The data to each test and quiz is captured and stored in a database. However, we are NOT interested in any individual's test scores but in the aggregate results. This data will be used to:

1. Validate the effectiveness of each test – if people are failing the quiz, perhaps the items are not clear and the test needs to be revised.
2. Identify LPN learning needs – if there are topics in which tests scores are poor, this data will be passed on the appropriate College / Association so that they can consider what action to take. This may include developing online courses, brokering seminars and workshops, or letting post-secondary programs know that additional training may be required.

In order for us to effectively use the test and quiz data, we need you to register. This is because in Canada, health professions fall under provincial legislation. For the data to be useful, we need to know the province of the LPN.

We also need to know that the person taking the test is a registered LPN or other health care professional. This will determine how the data is filtered and used.

Finally, we require registration to prevent hackers from using our website. Registration also provides you with a record of how well you are doing in the various tests.

Our intent is to require the minimum of information for registration so that your anonymity and privacy is preserved.

If you have any questions or concerns about our security and privacy procedures and policies, please contact us.
