How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information for money, and we share it only as described below or with your consent.

We may share personal information with:

• Service providers and contractors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting providers, payment processors, email and marketing tools, customer support tools, analytics providers, course delivery platforms).
• Professional advisors, such as lawyers, accountants, and auditors, when necessary for their services.
• Authorities, regulators, or law enforcement where required by applicable law or in response to valid legal process.
• Third parties in connection with a business transaction (e.g., merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets), subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

When we share personal information with service providers or contractors, we require them to process it only on our instructions and to implement appropriate security measures.

If we ever engage in activities that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable state privacy laws (such as certain types of targeted advertising in California), we will provide you with the required notices and opt‑out mechanisms, including any “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” links where necessary.

International Data Transfers

Our business is based in the United States, and your personal information may be stored or processed in the United States or other countries that may have different data protection laws than your country.

Where required, we will implement appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal data, such as standard contractual clauses or other mechanisms approved by applicable law.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

• Providing our services and digital products.
• Maintaining business and financial records as required by tax, accounting, and other legal obligations.
• Resolving disputes and enforcing our agreements.

When personal information is no longer needed, we will delete, anonymize, or securely store it in accordance with our data retention policies and applicable laws.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

These measures may include encryption in transit (such as HTTPS), access controls, secure storage practices, and regular review of our security procedures.

However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.
