Access to our courses may require payment. All fees are outlined on our Website and are subject to change.
- Parental Consent for Payments: Payments must be made by a parent or guardian if the user is under the age of 18. By making a payment, you confirm that you have the authority to do so and that the payment is for accessing the courses on behalf of the minor.
If you make a purchase on our site, we use third-party payment processors such as Stripe or PayPal. Payments are encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

In general, third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
- Third-Party Privacy Policies: For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand how your personal information will be handled by these providers.
- Jurisdictional Disclosure: Certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
Once you leave our course website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Use.

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
- Credit Card Information: If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
