8. Analytics and Advertising
We may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use our website. These providers may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites.
When we promote our courses through advertising platforms, such as Meta (Facebook and Instagram) or Google, these platforms may use cookies or pixels to measure the performance of our ads and show you relevant ads. You can manage ad preferences in your Google or Meta account settings, and through your browser or device settings.
9. Security
We take reasonable measures to help protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Our course and community platforms use encrypted connections (HTTPS).
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential. Please tell us immediately if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.
10. Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services, issue certificates, resolve disputes, comply with legal, tax and accounting obligations, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
11. Transfer of Information
We are based in India. Some of our service providers may store or process information on servers located in other countries, where data protection laws may differ from those in India. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to make sure your information remains protected in line with this policy.

15. Third-Party Links and Platforms
The Services may contain links to, or be delivered through, third-party websites and platforms, including WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube, payment gateways and our course and community platform providers.
