We collect information you provide directly to us, and limited information collected automatically when you visit our website.

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as financial account details, government identification numbers, health information, or racial or ethnic origin.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes only:

We will never use your email address to send unsolicited promotional messages unrelated to the course or content you signed up for. Every marketing email we send includes a clear and functional unsubscribe link.
