These Tracking Technologies may capture, in real-time or otherwise, information such as: (a) your IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, and geolocation; (b) your interactions with the Site or Services, including mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, scrolling, page views, navigation paths, email open rates, click-through rates, and interactions with marketing communications; (c) purchase history and payment information (processed securely via third-party gateways); and (d) any other data generated from your use of the Site or Services.

Third-party Tracking Technologies are governed by the respective providers’ privacy policies, including:

Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel): Measures ad effectiveness and delivers personalized advertising. See Meta’s Privacy Policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/.

Such data may be shared with third-party service providers (e.g., analytics firms like Google, marketing partners like Meta, payment processors like Stripe and Kit) solely for the purposes described herein, and these providers are contractually obligated to maintain confidentiality and comply with U.S. Privacy Laws.

By accessing or using the Site or Services, you expressly acknowledge and consent to the use of Tracking Technologies and the collection, sharing, and processing of your data as described. You hereby waive any claims against the Company arising from or related to such practices, including but not limited to claims under federal or state wiretapping, privacy invasion, unfair competition, consumer protection, or data protection statutes (e.g., Cal.

Advertising and Analytics Partners: To deliver relevant ads and measure effectiveness (e.g., Meta, Google), subject to their privacy policies.

Business Transfers: In connection with mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales.

Legal Authorities: When required by law, subpoena, court order, or to comply with regulatory requirements across any U.S. state; or to protect against legal liability.

6. Data Retention and Security

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described herein, to fulfill contractual obligations, comply with legal requirements (e.g., tax or audit laws), resolve disputes, or enforce agreements—typically no longer than seven (7) years after your last interaction, unless otherwise required.

We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data, including encryption, access controls, and regular audits. However, no system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You acknowledge that transmission of data over the internet is at your own risk, and we disclaim liability for unauthorized access or breaches, except as required by law.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services not operated by us. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, content, or security. Review their policies independently.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Site and Services are not directed to children under thirteen (13) years of age in the U.S. (or sixteen (16) in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware of such collection, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians discovering such data should contact us at [email protected].

9. Email Communications, Log Files, and Unsubscribe Options

We may send promotional emails with your consent or as permitted by law. Unsubscribe via the link in emails or by contacting [email protected]. Note: Opting out may prevent receipt of essential updates (e.g., course-related communications).

Our hosting provider collects log files automatically, including IP addresses, browser types, ISPs, referring/exit pages, and timestamps, for analytics, security, and troubleshooting. This data is not linked to personal information unless necessary for legal compliance.

10. International Transfers

If you are outside the U.S., your data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. or other countries with differing privacy laws. By using the Site or Services, you consent to such transfers and processing.

12. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

This Policy and any disputes arising hereunder shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Alaska, without regard to conflict of laws principles. You irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Anchorage, Alaska, for any action not subject to arbitration.

No Class Actions. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OF ANY KIND. ANY CLAIM MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Mandatory Informal Consultation and Mediation. Before initiating any formal legal action, including but not limited to arbitration, litigation, or any other proceeding, you must first engage in a good-faith informal consultation and mediation process with the Company. You shall provide written notice of the dispute to the Company at [email protected], including a detailed description of the claim, supporting evidence, and requested relief. Within thirty (30) days of receipt, the Company shall respond, and the parties shall confer telephonically or via videoconference to attempt resolution. If unresolved, the parties shall participate in a non-binding mediation session administered by a neutral mediator selected by mutual agreement or, if none, appointed by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc.) under its mediation rules. Mediation shall occur in Anchorage, Alaska, or virtually if agreed, and each party shall bear its own costs. This process must be completed before any arbitration or lawsuit may be filed, and failure to comply shall bar any claim.

Binding Arbitration. If the dispute remains unresolved after mediation, it shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (or, if applicable, Streamlined Rules for claims under $250,000), as modified by this Policy. Arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator in Anchorage, Alaska. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding, enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties waive any right to trial by jury. Arbitration costs shall be allocated as provided by JAMS rules, except that the Company shall pay the administrative fees if you prevail on the merits.

This Section survives termination of this Policy and applies to all disputes, including those under U.S. Privacy Laws, wiretapping statutes, or related to data practices.
