Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how CyberStand ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our platform. We are committed to keeping your data safe and being transparent about how it's handled.

2. Information We Collect

• Account information: name, email, password (hashed), and profile details you provide.
• Learning activity: courses enrolled, progress, quiz attempts, lab sessions, XP, streaks, and certificates earned.
• Technical data: IP address, browser, device type, and pages visited, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
• Payment data: processed by third-party providers. We do not store your full card details on our servers.

3. How We Use Your Data

• Provide, operate, and improve the platform and your learning experience.
• Track progress, issue certificates, and personalize course recommendations.
• Send transactional emails (account, billing, security) and — if opted in — product updates.
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and maintain platform security.
• Comply with legal obligations.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with:

• Service providers who help us operate the platform (hosting, email, payments, analytics), under strict confidentiality obligations.
• Authorities, when required by law or to protect our rights and users.
• A successor entity, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

5. Cookies

We use cookies to keep you logged in, remember preferences, and understand how users interact with the platform. You can control cookies through your browser, but disabling them may affect functionality.

6. Data Security

We apply industry-standard safeguards — encryption in transit, hashed passwords, access controls, and regular security reviews. No system is perfectly secure, but we work hard to protect your data.

7. Data Retention

We keep your data as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When you delete your account, we remove or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
• Export your data in a portable format.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

9. Children's Privacy

CyberStand is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. International Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses to protect your information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email or through the platform. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
