Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:
- Referring Courts and Organizations: We share enrollment status, course progress, and completion records with the court or organization that referred you, as this is necessary to fulfill the purpose of your enrollment.
- Service Providers: We use third-party services (such as Stripe for payment processing and email delivery services) that may process your data on our behalf under strict contractual obligations.

Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), secure password hashing, and access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel. Payment information is processed through PCI-compliant third-party processors and is never stored on our servers. While we strive to protect your data, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Cookies
Our platform uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, including maintaining your login session, saving your course progress, and remembering your language preferences. These are strictly necessary cookies required for the platform to operate. We do not use cookies for advertising or third-party tracking purposes. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, but disabling essential cookies may prevent the platform from functioning correctly.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information and course records for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal obligations, and support court reporting requirements. Certificate and completion records may be retained indefinitely to provide verification services to courts and students.
