Privacy Policy
What information do we collect and what do we do with it?
When you enroll as a student or subscriber (a “Learner”) in the Company’s Service, as part of the enrolling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name and email address.
Email marketing: we may send you emails about our site and related course(s), registration, course content, your course progress or other updates. We may also use your email to inform you about changes to the course, ask you about your usage, or solicit your opinions.
How do you get my consent?
When you provide us with personal information to become a Learner on our site, make a purchase, or participate in the course, you acknowledge and agree that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your express consent or provide you with an opportunity to decline.
How do I withdraw my consent?
If, after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us at [email protected]
Disclosure
We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.
Thinkific
Our course and Site is hosted by Thinkific Labs Inc. (“Thinkific”). Thinkific provides us with the online course creation platform that allows us to sell our Service to you.
Your data is stored through Thinkific’s data storage, databases and the general Thinkific application. Thinkific stores your data on a secure server behind a firewall.
Payment
If you make a purchase on our site, we use a third-party payment processor such as Stripe or Paypal. Payments are encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our Site and related courses and service providers.

Third-Party Websites and Services
The Site, Service or third-parties may provide links or other forms of access to external sites and resources on the internet. The Company has no control over such sites and resources, and the Company is not responsible for and does not endorse such resources. You further acknowledge that the Company will not be liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or occasioned by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any content, events, goods, or services available on or through any such sites or resources. Any dealings you have with third-parties found while using the Site or Service are between you and the applicable third party or parties, and you agree that the Company is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such third party or parties.
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
Certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under applicable United States law, such as the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our Site or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
Links
When you click on links on our Site, they may direct you away from the Site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
Security
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow generally accepted industry practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.
If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
