Privacy Policy

When you register, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored as a salted hash, never in plain text). If you subscribe to a paid track, Stripe collects and processes your payment details directly — we never see or store your card number. We also store the courses you enroll in, the lessons you complete, and your quiz attempts, so your progress is there when you come back.

We use this information to run your account (login, password reset, billing), to track your learning progress across courses, and to send you transactional email — account confirmations, password resets, and receipts. We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.

• Stripe — processes subscription payments and manages your billing portal.
• Resend — delivers transactional email on our behalf (welcome emails, password resets).
• Hetzner — hosts our servers and stores course video and image assets.
• YouTube— some lesson videos are embedded via youtube-nocookie.com; if you play one, YouTube's own privacy policy applies to that interaction.

We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. Course progress and enrollment records are retained as business records even after account deletion (see below), but are no longer linked to identifying personal information once your account is deleted.

You can delete your account at any time from your profile page. Deleting your account anonymizes your name, email, and avatar, and deactivates your login immediately. We keep enrollment and progress records as anonymized business data — we do not retain your name or email alongside them.
