Information We Collect
When you use our website, register for a course, or interact with our services, we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, login details, and any information you voluntarily provide. This information is collected only to provide course access, manage user accounts, communicate with you, and improve our services.
When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the information shown in the comments form along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This data helps us detect spam and maintain website security.
Media Uploads
If you upload images or other media files to the website, please ensure that they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract such information from uploaded files.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve user experience and functionality. If you leave a comment, cookies may save your name, email address, and website for convenience so you do not have to re-enter them for future comments. These cookies typically last for one year.
When you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser. After logging in, cookies are used to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies usually last for two days, while screen preference cookies may last up to one year. Selecting “Remember Me” will keep you logged in for a longer period. Logging out removes login cookies.
If you edit or publish content on the website, an additional cookie may be stored in your browser to record the post ID. This cookie does not contain personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some content on this website may include embedded material such as videos, images, or articles from third-party websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited the third-party website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
Payments and Third-Party Services
Payments for courses are processed securely through third-party payment gateways such as Razorpay. We do not store or process your card details, UPI information, or banking credentials on our servers. All payment-related data is handled directly by the payment service providers in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
How We Use and Share Your Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Your data is used only for providing access to courses, processing payments, improving user experience, communicating important updates, and maintaining security. In certain cases, data may be shared with service providers for essential operations such as payment processing, email communication, password recovery, or spam detection. Any sharing of data is limited to what is strictly necessary.
Data Retention
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely to allow automatic approval of future comments. For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. You may view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time, except for your username. Website administrators may access this information only for administrative and operational purposes.
Data Security
We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no method of online data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page, and continued use of the website implies acceptance of the revised policy.
