Privacy Policy

What We Collect and Why

When you sign up for our programs or browse our site, we collect information that helps us provide better educational experiences. This includes basic contact details like your name and email, technical data about how you use our platform, and information you choose to share in forums or project submissions.

• Contact information when you register for programs or reach out to us
• Payment details processed through secure third-party processors
• Learning progress and project work you complete during courses
• Usage patterns to understand which content resonates most
• Device and browser information for troubleshooting technical issues

We don't sell your data to advertisers or third parties. What you share with us stays within our educational ecosystem unless you explicitly give us permission to do otherwise.

How Your Information Gets Used

The data we collect serves specific purposes tied directly to making your learning experience better. We use it to personalize course recommendations, track your progress through programs, communicate important updates about your enrollment, and occasionally improve our curriculum based on aggregated usage patterns.

We also use aggregated analytics to figure out which topics need more depth or clearer explanation. If everyone's struggling with a particular module, that tells us something needs adjustment.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We work with a handful of service providers who help run the platform. Payment processors handle transactions, cloud hosting services store course materials, and email platforms deliver program updates. Each of these partners operates under strict data protection agreements.

Service Providers We Work With:

• Payment processors for secure transaction handling
• Cloud storage providers for course content and materials
• Email delivery services for program communications
• Analytics tools to understand content effectiveness

If we're legally required to disclose information—say, in response to a valid subpoena—we'll do so, but we'll notify you first unless legally prohibited. We're not in the business of handing over student data without good reason.

Your Rights Under US Privacy Laws

Depending on where you live in the United States, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. If you're in California, the CCPA gives you certain protections. Other states have similar laws coming into effect throughout 2025.

To exercise any of these rights, just send us an email at help@perplexyt.com. We'll verify your identity and respond within 45 days—though we usually get back to people much faster than that.

Data Security Measures

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information from unauthorized access. Our platform uses industry-standard encryption for data transmission, secure servers for storage, and regular security audits to identify potential vulnerabilities.

That said, no system is completely bulletproof. We do our best to keep things secure, but we can't guarantee absolute protection against every possible threat. If we ever experience a data breach that affects your information, we'll notify you promptly and explain what happened.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain your information for as long as you're actively using our platform, plus a reasonable period afterward in case you decide to come back. Once you request account deletion, we remove your personal data within 90 days—except for records we're legally required to maintain for tax or compliance purposes.

Retention Periods:

• Active account data: Duration of enrollment plus 2 years
• Course completion records: 7 years for certification verification
• Financial transaction records: 7 years per IRS requirements
• Marketing communications: Until you unsubscribe
• Analytics data: Aggregated and anonymized after 18 months

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies to remember your preferences and keep you logged in between sessions. We also use analytics cookies to understand how people navigate the site and where they get stuck.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but that might break some functionality—like staying logged in or saving your course progress. Essential cookies are necessary for the platform to work properly, while analytics cookies are optional.

Student Work and Intellectual Property

The projects you create during our programs belong to you. We don't claim ownership of your work. However, by submitting projects for review, you grant us permission to use them for educational feedback and assessment purposes.

If we want to showcase your work in marketing materials or future courses, we'll ask for explicit permission first. You're free to say no without any impact on your program status or certification.

Changes to This Policy

Privacy laws and our practices evolve over time. When we make significant changes to this policy, we'll notify you via email and post an updated version on our website. The "Last Updated" date at the top tells you when the most recent changes took effect.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially before sharing new types of information with us. If you continue using our platform after we post changes, we consider that acceptance of the updated terms.

International Data Transfers

Our servers are located in the United States, and your data is primarily stored and processed here. If you're accessing our platform from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and maintained on servers within the United States.

We comply with applicable data protection laws regarding international transfers and work with service providers who maintain adequate safeguards for cross-border data handling.
