Third-Party Platforms – Courses & Blog

Our online courses and blog are hosted on third-party platforms. When you enroll in a course or leave a blog comment, you create an account on that platform. This means your personal data is processed according to the terms and privacy policies of the respective platform.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party service providers before registering.

Payments via Stripe and VIPPS

For payments, we use Stripe and VIPPS as our payment processors.

The respective platforms collect your payment information and handle it in accordance with their own security and privacy policies. We do not have access to or store your payment information. All payment processing is handled directly by Stripe or VIPPS in accordance with their security policies and privacy terms.
