Privacy Policy
The short version. We collect only what we need to run the course, grade your work and issue your credential. We don't sell your data, we don't run ad tracking, and the prompts you practise with are graded and not kept on our servers.
What we collect
- Your email, if you join the founding list or create an account. We use it for sign-in, receipts and course updates.
- The name on your credential, which you type in when you claim it.
- Your progress: lessons finished, streaks and practice scores. Right now this is saved in your own browser on your device. Once member accounts launch, it will also be saved to your account so it follows you between devices.
- Exam results: your best score on each part of an exam attempt, kept on our server for 14 days so we can check that you really passed before issuing a credential.
- Payment details are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number. We keep a record of your plan and payment status.
- Basic technical data: to stop abuse we keep a scrambled, one-way version of your IP address (not the address itself) for rate limiting.
Your practice prompts and exam answers
When you submit a practice rep or an exam answer, the text is sent to Anthropic's Claude AI to be scored and coached, and the result comes straight back to you. We don't store the text of your prompts on our servers. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, this data isn't used to train their AI models. Please don't paste confidential or personal information into the course.
Voice input
If you use the microphone button, your speech is turned into text by your browser's built-in speech recognition (in Chrome, that's handled by Google). We never receive your audio, only the text that appears in the box.
Your public credential
When you claim a credential, anyone with its ID can look it up on our verification page and see your name, score, issue date and whether you passed with distinction. That's what makes it trustworthy to employers. Ask us and we'll remove it, but it will then stop verifying.
Who we share data with
Only the companies we need to run the service, and only for that purpose:
- Anthropic: AI grading and coaching.
- Stripe: payments.
- WP Engine and Cloudflare: hosting and keeping the site fast and secure.
- Our email provider, to send sign-in links, receipts and updates.
We don't sell or rent your personal data, and we don't share it with advertisers.
Cookies and storage
We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Your browser saves your settings (light or dark mode, sound, reduced motion) and your course progress on your own device. When member accounts launch, a sign-in cookie will keep you logged in.
How long we keep it
- Exam attempt scores: 14 days.
- Credentials: for as long as the course runs, so they keep verifying, unless you ask us to remove yours.
- Founding list emails: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.
- Payment records: as long as tax and accounting law requires.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it or to delete it at any time by emailing us. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link. Depending on where you live (for example, the EU, the UK or California), you may have more rights, and we'll honor them.
Keeping it safe
Grading and credential checks happen on our server, the exam answer key is never sent to your browser, and access is limited to the people who run the course. No system is perfectly secure, but we take care to keep what we hold small and protected.
Children
The course is made for working adults and isn't aimed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
We'll post any update here with a new date, and email members about important changes.
