1. Information We Collect
We collect information in three main ways: (a) information you provide directly, (b) information created during your use of the service, and (c) information collected automatically for security and reliability.
1.1 Information you provide
- Account data: name, email address, password (stored in hashed form), and profile preferences.
- Support communications: messages you send to our support team and attachments you choose to share.
- Purchase details: billing contact information and transaction metadata. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers.
1.2 Information generated by your use
- Course activity: lessons viewed, progress, quiz or assignment attempts (if applicable), completion status.
- Preferences: language, theme, cookie choices, and other settings.
1.3 Information collected automatically
- Device and log data: IP address, browser type, timestamps, and basic diagnostic events.
- Security signals: potential fraud or abuse indicators to help protect accounts and platform integrity.
You can choose not to provide certain information, but some features (like account access or purchases) may not work without it.
2. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Provide and operate the platform, including account creation, enrollment, and access management.
- Personalize content (e.g., remembering your progress and preferences).
- Process purchases and manage invoices/receipts.
- Communicate service updates, policy changes, and important notices.
- Improve our courses and user experience through performance diagnostics and feedback.
- Prevent abuse, enforce terms, and protect users and our services.
We aim to minimize data usage and access. Internally, access is limited to authorized personnel who need it to perform their role.
3. Legal Basis
Depending on your location and applicable laws, we process personal information based on one or more of the following:
- Consent (e.g., optional cookies or marketing communications where required).
- Contract performance (e.g., providing access to purchased courses).
- Legitimate interests (e.g., securing the service, preventing fraud, improving reliability).
- Legal obligation (e.g., maintaining required records for compliance).
If consent is the basis, you can withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.
4. Data Retention
We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide the service and for legitimate and essential business purposes, such as maintaining performance, making data-driven decisions, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes.
- Account data: typically retained while your account is active.
- Purchase records: may be retained longer to comply with tax/accounting requirements.
- Security logs: retained for a limited period to help detect and prevent abuse.
When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete, de-identify, or securely destroy it.
5. Sharing & Disclosures
We may share personal information in limited circumstances:
- Service providers: companies that help us run operations (e.g., hosting, email delivery, payments). They are authorized to process information only as needed to provide their services.
- Legal and safety: if we believe disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, or prevent fraud and abuse.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets (you will be informed as required by law).
We do not sell personal data. If we ever materially change this approach, we will update this policy and provide any legally required choices.
7. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure.
- Encrypted transport (HTTPS) in transit where supported.
- Access controls and least-privilege practices.
- Monitoring for suspicious activity.
No online service is 100% secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at [email protected].
8. Children’s Privacy
Our services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under the age where parental consent is required by applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact [email protected] so we can take appropriate steps.
9. International Transfers
If you access the service from outside the country where our systems are located, your information may be processed in another jurisdiction. Where required, we take steps designed to ensure adequate safeguards for cross-border data transfers.
10. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of information, subject to certain exceptions.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
