Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly to us when you create an account, enroll in a course, or contact us. This includes:

• Account information: Your name and email address when you sign in via an OAuth provider (such as Google or GitHub).
• Payment information: When you make a purchase, your payment details are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number or CVC on our servers.
• Course progress: We track your progress through course modules, session completions, and quiz results to provide the learning experience and issue certificates.
• Communications: If you contact us directly, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the course platform.
• Process payments and deliver the purchased course content.
• Track your course progress and issue completion certificates.
• Send you course-related communications, such as updates, reminders, and announcements. You can opt out of non-essential emails at any time.
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.
• Monitor and analyze usage patterns to improve the platform.

We use essential session cookies to maintain your login session and track your progress through the course. These cookies are necessary for the platform to function.

We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising networks. We may use basic, privacy-respecting analytics (such as Vercel Analytics) to understand aggregate usage patterns. This data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify individual users.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We use Stripe for payment processing and Vercel for hosting. These providers have access to only the data necessary to perform their functions and are bound by their own privacy policies.
• Legal obligations: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such change.

We retain your account information and course progress data for as long as your account remains active. If you request deletion of your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days. Anonymized, aggregate data may be retained for analytical purposes.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data.
• Portability: Request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@aifirstbuilder.com. We will respond within 30 days.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information. All data is transmitted over encrypted TLS connections. Payment processing is handled by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified provider. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our platform is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via email or through a prominent notice on the platform. Your continued use of the platform after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions about this privacy policy or our data practices, please contact us at hello@aifirstbuilder.com.
