Privacy

Privacy policy

I collect as little personal data as I can, while still keeping accounts, certificates, and the platform working properly. This page explains what I collect and why.

Last updated on 28 January 2026

What I collect

Email address for sign in and account management.
Name if you choose to provide it.
Learning progress and certificate activity when you are signed in.
High level analytics that help me understand what is working.
Payment and donation events, handled by Stripe. I do not store card details.

Why I collect it

To provide the service and keep it reliable.
To let you save progress across devices.
To issue and verify certificates.
To prevent abuse and keep the platform safe.
To improve the content and tools over time.

Third party services

Like most modern sites, I use specialist providers for hosting, payments, analytics, and error monitoring. They process data on my behalf so the platform can run.

Hosting and deployment via Vercel privacy policy
Payments via Stripe privacy policy
Sign in via Google when enabled privacy policy
Error monitoring may be enabled using a provider such as Sentry privacy policy
Privacy friendly analytics may be enabled using a provider such as Plausible privacy policy

If a provider is not enabled, it does not receive data. This is not a trick. It is just how configuration works.

Cookies and tracking

I use essential cookies for authentication, security, and basic preferences. I avoid tracking cookies. You can read the full cookie details on the Cookie policy page.
