Short version:
We collect only what we need to provide you with an adaptive learning experience.
We never sell your data. You can request, export, or delete your data at any time.
Your learning journey belongs to you.
1. Who We Are
Adapt Edu, Inc. ("Adapt Edu," "we," "us," or "our") is a Delaware C Corporation
operating an adaptive online learning platform at adaptedu.co. We are the data
controller for personal information collected through our platform.
Account information: name, email address, password (hashed), and selected role (student, instructor, corporate)
Profile information: display name, bio, avatar, and professional information you choose to share
Location information (optional): If you choose to add a location to your profile for job matching, we collect the coordinates you enter or that your device provides with your permission, along with the search radius you select. Adding a location is optional, and you can change or remove it from your profile at any time.
Course content you create or submit, including posts, discussion contributions, and assignment responses
Payment information processed by Stripe — we never store credit card numbers directly
Communications: messages, support tickets, and feedback you send us
Information collected automatically:
Learning activity: which modules you open, how long you spend on each, quiz answers, completion timestamps, and performance scores
Session data: login times, device type, browser type, and general location (country/region from IP address)
Usage patterns: which features you use, navigation paths, and engagement with content
Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 6)
Information from third parties:
Google account information if you sign in via Google OAuth (email and name only)
Payment confirmation data from Stripe (transaction ID, plan type, payment status)
3. How We Use Your Information
Provide the service: authenticate your account, deliver courses, track progress, issue certificates
Personalize learning: adapt course sequencing, pacing, and recommendations based on your performance data
Match jobs and employers: use your profile location, if you have added one, to connect you with nearby employers and job opportunities.
Communicate with you: send course completion emails, streak reminders, product updates, and support responses
Verify credentials: enable employers to verify the authenticity of certificates you share with them
Improve the platform: analyze aggregated, anonymized usage data to improve course content and platform features
Legal compliance: maintain audit records required for course accreditation and respond to lawful requests
Safety and security: detect fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access
We do not use your personal learning data for advertising targeting, and we do not sell
your data to third parties under any circumstances.
4. How We Share Your Information
We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
With your employer (corporate accounts only): If your employer enrolled you through a corporate plan, their admin dashboard shows course completion, certificate status, and compliance training results — not quiz answers or personal communications
With employers (job applications): when you apply to a job, the employer receives your application, including your profile location if you have added one.
Certificate verification: When you share a certificate link, the recipient can verify your name, course, completion date, and score — nothing else
Service providers: Railway (infrastructure), Cloudflare (CDN and DNS), Stripe (payments), Resend (email) — each bound by data processing agreements
Legal requirements: When required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of users
Business transfer: If Adapt Edu is acquired or merges, your data may transfer to the successor entity with the same privacy commitments

information. To exercise your rights, email privacy@adaptedu.co.
