This Privacy Policy explains how Podcasteo Courses (“Podcasteo,” “we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit or use our website and services (collectively, the “Services”). This policy is intended to support transparency and compliance obligations, including where applicable the GDPR and CCPA/CPRA.
Data We Collect
We collect information you provide directly and information generated through your use of the Services. The types of data may include:
- Account and contact data: name, email address, and any details you choose to provide during sign-up, purchases, or communications.
- Course and usage data: course progress, lesson completion status, preferences, and interaction events needed to deliver and improve the learning experience.
- Support and communications: messages you send to us, including attachments or information you include in the content.
- Device and technical data: approximate location (inferred from IP), browser type, device identifiers, and logs for security and reliability.
We do not require sensitive categories of personal data (such as government IDs, precise geolocation, biometric data, or health information) to provide our Services. Please avoid sharing sensitive data in support messages.
How We Use Data
We use personal data to operate, maintain, and improve the Services. Examples include:
- Providing access to courses, tracking progress, and enabling account features.

- Improving course quality, user experience, and platform performance (including analytics where enabled).

We do not sell personal data. If we ever introduce advertising technologies or data-sharing practices that materially change this policy, we will update this page and, where required, provide additional notices and choices.
Legal bases (where applicable under GDPR) may include performance of a contract (to provide Services), legitimate interests (to secure and improve Services), compliance with legal obligations, and consent (for certain cookies or optional features).

Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Services and for legitimate and essential business purposes, such as maintaining records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.
Retention periods vary based on the data type and purpose. If you request deletion, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize the data, unless we must keep it for legal or security reasons.
Security
We implement administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for any activities under your account.
International Transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than where you live. Where required, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international transfers, such as contractual protections and security measures.
Children’s Privacy
The Services are not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us so we can take appropriate action.
