Data We Collect
We collect information in three main ways: (1) information you provide, (2) information generated through your learning activity, and (3) technical information needed to operate and secure our services.
A. Information you provide
- Account identifiers: name, email address, password (stored as a one-way hash).
- Billing and transaction details if you purchase a course (handled by payment processors; we receive minimal records like receipt IDs).
- Support requests: messages, attachments you choose to send, and troubleshooting details.
- Preferences: communication opt-ins, language, accessibility settings.
B. Learning activity
- Course progress: lesson completions, quiz outcomes, and timestamps.
- Personal notes and saved items within the platform.
- Engagement signals: feature usage, navigation flow, error events (to improve UX and reliability).
C. Technical and device data
- Device and browser attributes: type, OS version, app version, language, and screen size.
- Approximate location derived from IP address (city/region-level, not precise GPS unless you explicitly grant it elsewhere).
- Logs for security and debugging: IP address, request metadata, and server error logs.
- Cookie and similar identifiers for essential functionality and, if enabled, analytics.
Data minimization
We design features to work with the least amount of personal data required.
How We Use Data
We use personal data to operate the platform, deliver course content, and maintain safety. We do not sell your personal information.
Service delivery
- Create and manage accounts.
- Provide course access, progress tracking, and certificates where applicable.
- Send service messages (password resets, critical updates).
Platform safety
- Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.
- Rate-limit, log, and investigate suspicious activity.
- Maintain backups and integrity controls.
Improvements
- Debug issues and monitor performance.
- Understand feature adoption and improve course experience.
- Conduct aggregate reporting (non-identifying when possible).
Legal and compliance
- Comply with applicable laws and enforce our terms.
- Respond to lawful requests and protect rights and safety.
- Maintain records for tax/accounting where required.
Legal bases (where applicable)
Depending on your jurisdiction, our processing may rely on: performance of a contract (to deliver purchased courses), legitimate interests (security, analytics if enabled), consent (optional cookies/marketing), and legal obligations.
Sharing & Disclosures
We share personal data only as needed to provide our services, comply with the law, or protect our users and platform.
Service providers
We use vetted providers for hosting, email delivery, customer support tooling, and payment processing. These providers are contractually required to protect your data and use it only to provide services to us.
Business transfers
If we’re involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice if such a transfer materially changes how your data is handled.
Legal requirements
We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that it’s required to comply with a lawful request, protect our rights, prevent fraud, or address security issues.
Cookies & Tracking
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality and, if you opt in, to measure performance and improve the service.
Essential cookies
Required for core features like login sessions, security protections, and saving key preferences.
Preference cookies
Used to remember settings such as theme choice and interface options.
Analytics cookies (optional)
Help us understand usage patterns and improve reliability. These are enabled only if you consent through the cookie banner.
Manage cookie preferences
Use the cookie banner controls in the layout. If it’s hidden, you can reopen settings here.
Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, accounting and tax obligations).
Typical retention windows
| Category | Why | Typical period |
|---|---|---|
| Account profile | To provide access and personalize learning | Until deletion request + limited backup cycle |
| Learning progress | To sync and restore your course history | While account is active |
| Support tickets | To resolve issues and maintain audit trail | Typically 24 months |
| Security logs | To detect abuse and investigate incidents | Typically 90–180 days |
Deletion and backups
When you request deletion, we remove data from active systems and allow a limited time for backups to rotate out. Some information may be retained where required by law or for legitimate security needs (e.g., fraud prevention).
Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Access controls
- Role-based access for internal systems.
- Least-privilege permissions and periodic reviews.
- Secure credential storage and session protections.
Monitoring
- Audit logging and anomaly detection.
- Rate limiting and abuse prevention mechanisms.
- Incident response procedures and backups.
Important note
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We continuously improve safeguards, but cannot guarantee absolute security. Use strong passwords and avoid sharing your credentials.
