3. Purposes and legal basis

• Provide the service (process registrations, deliver courses, issue certificates) — performance of the educational contract.

4. Sharing of personal data

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with the following categories of recipients:

• Merchant of Record — Paddle.com Market Ltd and its affiliates, for the sale of our programs, checkout, payment processing, subscription management, tax compliance, invoicing, fraud prevention and customer service related to orders. See Paddle's Privacy Notice.

5. International transfers

Some of the service providers listed above are located outside Israel and outside the European Economic Area (for example in the United States and the United Kingdom). Where personal data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms recognised in the relevant jurisdiction.

6. Retention

We keep personal data for as long as your account or academic relationship with us is active, and afterwards for the period required by Israeli law for accounting, tax and certification traceability purposes (typically up to 7 years for financial records). When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymised.

7. Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), encryption at rest on managed cloud infrastructure, Row Level Security policies on our database, and access controls limiting data access to authorised staff on a need-to-know basis.

• Restriction of, and objection to, processing.
• Data portability where applicable.
• Withdrawal of consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
• The right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies strictly necessary for the site to function (for example to keep you signed in and to secure the checkout flow). We do not currently use advertising cookies. If we add analytics or marketing cookies in the future, we will update this notice and, where required, request your consent.
