Card details are never seen or stored here. Payment is handled by Paystack, who process card data on their own systems.

Lawful basis

Performance of a contract — you asked for a course and this is what delivering it requires. Marketing email, if any is ever sent, is on consent and separately opt-in.

Who else sees it

Your data is not sold, and is not shared with employers, institutions or recruiters. If your employer paid for your seat, they are told whether you completed. They are not shown your marks.

The certificate is public by design

If you are issued a certificate, its verification page shows your name, the course and the issue date to anyone holding the code. That is the point of a verifiable credential. The code is not published or indexed by us — it is shared only by you.

Your rights

Access, correction, deletion, and objection. Write to the contact address.

Deleting your account removes your personal data. It does not delete an issued certificate, because a credential someone may have relied on cannot be quietly withdrawn — tell us if you want it revoked instead, and the code will resolve as revoked.
