Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We collect information in a few different ways:

• Account information — your name and email address when you register.
• Learning activity — courses and lessons you view, quiz results, completion progress, and certificates you earn.
• Contact form submissions — the name, email, and message you provide when you contact us.
• Technical data — IP address, browser type, and session information, collected automatically for security and rate-limiting purposes.

How We Use Your Information

• To create and maintain your account, and keep you signed in.
• To track lesson and quiz progress so your dashboard reflects what you've actually learned.
• To issue and verify course completion certificates.
• To send account-related emails: welcome messages, password resets, and certificate notifications.
• To respond to messages sent through our contact form.
• To protect the platform against abuse, such as rate-limiting repeated login or form-submission attempts.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use a single session cookie to keep you signed in while you use the platform. This cookie is strictly necessary for the site to function — it's not used for advertising or cross-site tracking, and it expires automatically after a period of inactivity.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We only share information in these limited cases:

• With service providers who help us operate the platform (for example, sending transactional emails), bound to use your data only for that purpose.
• When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of CodeWisdom Academy and its users.
• Publicly, only for the specific piece of information you choose to make public — such as a certificate verification page, which is designed to be shared.

Data Security

Passwords are stored using strong one-way hashing and are never saved or transmitted in plain text. Access to account data is restricted, and we use CSRF protection, rate limiting, and session safeguards to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your information using industry-standard practices.

Your Rights & Choices

• You can review and update your name and email from your profile at any time.
• You can request a copy of your data, or ask us to delete your account and associated data, by contacting us.
• You can unsubscribe from non-essential emails at any time; account-related emails (like password resets) cannot be disabled, as they're required for the account to function securely.

Children's Privacy

CodeWisdom Academy is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the platform after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy.
