1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account or purchase a course, we collect your name, email address, and payment information. Account authentication is handled by AWS Cognito, a secure identity service. We store your account details and course progress in our database (Amazon DynamoDB).
Payment Information
Payment processing is handled by Stripe, a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor. We do not store your credit card number, CVV, or full payment card details on our servers. Stripe collects and processes this information directly. Please review Stripe’s Privacy Policy at stripe.com/privacy.
Course Activity and Progress
We collect data about your course activity, including which lessons you have viewed, video watch time, quiz scores, and completion status. This information is used to deliver your course, track your progress, and generate your certificate of completion.

We use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (GTM) to collect information about how visitors use our site. This may include your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics for site performance monitoring. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies or track individual users across sites.

Cookies
We use cookies for session management, authentication, and analytics. Essential cookies are required for the site to function (e.g., keeping you logged in). Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) can be declined using your browser settings or the opt-out tool linked above.
