1. Data we collect about you
We collect certain data from you directly, like information you enter yourself. We collect data automatically, such as data about your consumption of content. We also receive data from third-party platforms, such as from our payment processors or if you connect a third-party platform when you register for an account.
Below, we detail the information we collect.
Account Information
To use our platform, you’ll need to register for an account. To do so, you’ll need to provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, email address, and password.
You can also choose to provide profile information like a photo, headline, biography, or other data. Your profile data will be publicly viewable by others; for example, when you ask a question, other students and instructors can see your photo and user name.
Shared content
Parts of the services let you interact with other users or share content publicly, for example by posting reviews about content, asking or answering questions, or sending messages to instructors. Such shared content may be publicly viewable by others, depending on where it is posted.
