Who we are
Claude Code Academy ("we", "us") is an online Claude Code course created by Curtis Cornell, available at https://www.claudecodeacademy.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the site, why, and the choices you have. Questions? Email hello@claudecodeacademy.com.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Account details: your name, email address and a password when you create an account.
- Payment details: when you subscribe, payment is processed by Stripe. We receive confirmation of your subscription, your email and limited billing details (such as the card brand and last four digits). We never see or store your full card number.
- Messages: the content of forms you submit (contact, teams, newsletter and cheat-sheet requests).
Information stored on your device
- Learning progress: completed lessons, quiz scores, XP, streak, badges and preferences such as dark mode are stored in your browser's local storage so the course can remember where you left off. You can clear this at any time from your dashboard or your browser settings.
Information collected automatically
- Server logs: like most websites, our hosting provider records technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, for security and reliability.
How we use information
- To provide the course, unlock the lessons you've paid for, and save your progress
- To process payments and manage your subscription
- To reply to your messages and support requests
- To send the newsletter or tips you asked for (you can unsubscribe in any email)
- To keep the site secure and prevent abuse
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information, and we don't use third-party advertising trackers.
Service providers
We share information only with providers that help us run the Academy, under agreements that limit their use of it:
- Stripe for payments and subscription billing
- Our hosting and content delivery provider for serving the website
- Our form and email providers for delivering form submissions and the emails you request
- Google Fonts for loading the site's typefaces
How long we keep it
We keep account and billing records while your account is active and as long as needed for legal, tax and accounting purposes. Messages are kept as long as needed to help you. Progress data in your browser stays until you clear it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, email hello@claudecodeacademy.com. We'll respond within 30 days. California residents: we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
Children
The Academy isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Security
We use HTTPS everywhere, reputable providers and least-privilege access. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page, and for significant changes we'll notify account holders by email.
