1. What Information We Collect and How We Use It

When you subscribe to our site to receive free or paid products — including online courses, webinars, or eBooks — we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name and email address.
We may also collect limited technical information (e.g., browser type, device type, operating system version) to optimize your user experience.

We use this information to:

• Provide access to your purchased courses and learning materials,

• Manage your account,

• Communicate with you about updates or new offerings (if you opt in),

• Fulfil legal and tax obligations.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.

2. Legal Basis for Processing (Art. 6 GDPR)

Your data is processed based on:

• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – Consent, when you subscribe or opt in to marketing.

• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – Contract performance, to deliver purchased courses.

• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – Legitimate interest, for platform improvement and fraud prevention.

3. Consent and Withdrawal

By providing personal data during registration or purchase, you consent to its use for that purpose.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by emailing [email protected].

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing based on consent.

4. Disclosure

We may disclose your data if required by law or to comply with legal obligations (e.g., court orders or investigations).

5. Payment Processing

Payments are securely handled through third-party providers such as Stripe or PayPal.
All transactions comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
Your payment data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your transaction.

6. Third-Party Services and International Data Transfers

Our courses are hosted by Thinkific Labs Inc. (Canada).
Payments may be processed by Stripe or PayPal (United States).

Data transfers occur under:

• The EU’s adequacy decision for Canada, and

• Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR) for the United States.

While these measures provide safeguards, transfers to third countries may carry residual risks due to differing legal systems.
