Privacy Policy

Overview

We respect your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it responsibly when you use Growing Greens Courses.

Who we are

This website is operated under the name “Growing Greens Courses.” If you have privacy questions or requests, email us at [email protected].

Data we collect

We collect only the data needed to provide and protect the service:

• Account data: name, email address, and a password hash (we do not store plaintext passwords).
• Payment metadata: transaction identifiers and timestamps (we do not store full card data).
• Usage data: pages visited and actions taken to improve course quality, reliability, and security.
• Support messages: information you include when contacting support.

How we use data

We use personal data to deliver our services, process requests, maintain security, prevent abuse, improve course content, and provide support. We do not sell personal data.

Legal bases (where applicable)

Depending on your location, we may process data under one or more of these bases: performance of a contract (providing the course service), legitimate interests (security and service improvement), compliance with legal obligations (e.g., financial recordkeeping), and consent (e.g., optional analytics cookies where required).

Cookies

We use essential cookies for session management and preferences, and optional analytics cookies with consent. You can manage cookies in your browser settings. If you decline non-essential cookies, the site should still function.

Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, or security requirements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and context.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No online system is 100% secure, but we work to reduce risk.

Sharing and third parties

We may share data with service providers who help us operate the website (for example, hosting, email delivery, analytics, and payment processors). These providers are permitted to process data only to provide services to us and must protect it.

International transfers

If data is processed outside your country, we take steps intended to ensure an appropriate level of protection, such as contractual safeguards with service providers when applicable.

Your rights

You can request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us at [email protected]. Depending on your location, you may also have rights to object to processing or request data portability.

Children’s privacy

Our services are not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required by your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Updates

We may update this policy to reflect changes to practices, technologies, or legal requirements. We will indicate the latest revision date below.
