What data we collect
From website visitors
If you open this website in a web browser, regardless of whether you've purchased a course from us or not, you will become a visitor.
Visitor information
We use Payhip, an e-commerce platform, to power our website. When you visit our website, Payhip may process your IP address and User-Agent string to verify if you are a human or a bot, determine your tax jurisdiction, and report statistics about the usage of our website.
Payhip may also save cookies on your device, allowing you to use the shopping cart, make purchases, and sign into the student-only areas for accessing purchased courses.
This data, which we collectively refer to as "visitor information," is stored securely on Payhip's servers.
From students
If you purchase a course or a course bundle on our website, you will become a student.
Account information
When you purchase a course, we will ask you for your first name, last name, email address, and a password. We will use this data to create a student account that you can sign into for accessing the courses you have purchased from us.
This data, which we collectively refer to as "account information," is stored securely on Payhip's servers. Your password is encrypted and saved as a hash, meaning that neither we nor Payhip staff can see it.

We will create a subscriber profile with your email address and time and date of opt-in in Mailcoach Cloud, the email marketing platform which powers our newsletter.
As you receive email messages from us, we may also collect data about the emails you have opened and the links that you have clicked. We may process this data to infer your interests and personalize our email messages to you.

How we keep your data safe
Secure connection
Your connection to this website is secure and encrypted via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS), the industry-standard way to secure the communications between web browsers and servers.
This means that any information you receive or send is encrypted into a hash, so that others cannot see it or temper with it.
Security practices
We take security seriously and do our best to secure both our software and our devices.
We use unique, randomly-generated, sufficiently-difficult passwords and two-factor authentication on all of our software to minimize the risk of our accounts getting hacked.
Our laptops are password-protected and have file encryption enabled. That way, if they are stolen or lost, the information that's stored on them cannot be read without the password.
