Data We Collect

We may collect identifiers and contact details that users provide, account and profile information, course enrollment and progress records, communications sent through the site, and technical data such as device type, browser information, IP address, and usage logs. Where needed for security and service operation, we may also process authentication data and records of access to protected content.

The categories of data collected depend on how users interact with the site and its course features.
02

How We Collect Data

We receive data directly from users when they register, enroll in courses, submit forms, or contact us. We also collect information automatically through the operation of the website, including log data and cookie-related signals. In some cases, service providers that support hosting, analytics, or security may provide limited information needed to operate the site.

Information comes from user submissions, automated site activity, and limited third-party service inputs.
03

Types of Cookies

The site may use essential cookies needed to keep pages working, security cookies that help detect misuse, and performance or analytics cookies that help us understand how the site is used. Cookies may be session-based or persistent depending on their function. We do not rely on cookies to collect more information than is needed for these purposes.

We use a small number of cookie categories for operation, security, and basic analytics.
04

Cookie Controls

Users can usually control cookies through their browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies already stored on a device. Some site functions may not work properly if certain cookies are disabled. Where the site presents cookie choices, those selections will be respected for the relevant browser or device.

Browser settings and related tools may be used to limit non-essential cookies.

Subject to legal limits, users may ask to access, correct, update, or delete certain personal data, and may object to or limit some processing where applicable. Users may also request a copy of information they have provided in a usable format when this is reasonably available. Some requests may be declined if we must keep the data for legal, security, or operational reasons.

Available rights may depend on the nature of the request and applicable law.

To protect privacy and security, we may ask for information needed to verify a request before responding. We will review requests within a reasonable period and act in accordance with applicable law. If a request cannot be fully granted, we will explain the main reason where appropriate.

Requests are reviewed for identity and scope before we take action.

We retain personal data for the period needed to provide the site, manage course access, maintain records, resolve disputes, and meet legal or accounting obligations. When data is no longer needed, we delete it, anonymize it, or restrict it so it is no longer used for active processing, subject to any lawful retention requirement.

We keep data only for as long as needed for the stated purpose or as required by law.

If we make material changes, we will update the policy on the site and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The revised version will apply from the stated effective date. Users should review this page periodically to stay informed about current practices.

We may revise this policy when our practices, services, or legal obligations change.

How We Use Data

We use personal data to operate the website, provide course access, manage accounts, respond to inquiries, maintain security, monitor performance, prevent abuse, and improve content and functionality. We also use data to meet legal obligations, enforce site terms, and keep records needed for administration and support.

Processing is limited to operational, instructional, and compliance-related needs.
02 · Sharing

Service Providers

We may share personal data with hosting, analytics, security, communications, and other operational providers that support the site. These parties are expected to use the data only for the services they provide to us and to apply appropriate confidentiality and security measures. We do not authorize them to use the data for their own unrelated purposes.

Service providers receive only the information needed to perform their functions.
