What data we collect and why

Account information

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address and a hashed (encrypted) password. We use this to identify you, give you access to courses you have purchased, and communicate with you about your account. The legal basis for this processing is the performance of a contract.

Purchase information

When you make a purchase, we record which course or product you bought, the amount paid and the date of purchase. We use this to give you access to what you have bought and to maintain our financial records. The legal basis is the performance of a contract and our legitimate interest in maintaining accurate business records.

We do not store your payment card details. All card processing is handled by Stripe Inc., our payment processor. Please see Stripe's privacy policy for details of how they handle your payment data.

Gift purchases

If you purchase a course as a gift, we collect your name, your email address, and the name of your intended recipient. This is used to generate and deliver the gift code to you. The legal basis is the performance of a contract.
