Information You Provide. This information may include your name, email address, phone number, billing information, account login credentials, professional background or application responses, and project submissions or course assignments.

Payment Information. When you purchase programs or services, payments are processed through secure third-party payment processors. We do not store full credit card numbers or payment credentials on our servers. Payment processors may include Stripe and payment providers integrated with our course or checkout platforms. These providers maintain their own privacy policies governing how they process payment data.

When you visit our website or use our Services, certain information may be collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, usage behavior, pages visited, referring URLs, approximate geographic location, and interaction with course content or community features. This information helps us maintain and improve the performance and security of our Services.

Self-Guided Tour. When you register for our self-guided tour, we collect your name and email address and set a cookie so that you are not asked to register again on a later visit. While you are in the tour, we also record how far through it you have progressed, linked to your email address, so that we can understand which parts of the tour are useful to prospective students. You may ask us to delete this information at any time using the contact details in this policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

We process personal information for purposes including providing access to Peck Academy programs, managing course enrollment and student accounts, delivering educational content and feedback, operating our online community, processing payments and transactions, responding to support requests, sending marketing and promotional communications, improving our products and Services, analyzing usage trends and performance, preventing fraud, protecting our Services, and complying with legal obligations.

3. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable under privacy laws, we process personal data based on one or more of the following legal bases: your consent, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and legitimate business interests.

4. When and With Whom We Share Information

We may share personal information with trusted third parties that help operate our Services.

These may include community and course platforms such as Circle; email marketing and automation providers; website analytics services used to understand site usage and improve performance; Stripe or other secure payment providers; and business operations tools such as customer support platforms, project management or internal workflow tools, and document management systems. We only share information necessary for these providers to perform their services, and we may also disclose personal information when required by law or to protect our legal rights.

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain site functionality, remember user preferences, analyze website traffic, improve user experience, and support marketing and advertising efforts. You may adjust cookie settings through your browser preferences.

6. Artificial Intelligence Tools

Peck Academy may use artificial intelligence or machine learning tools to support educational features, community assistance, and internal operations. These tools may process user inputs to generate responses or recommendations, and we take reasonable steps to ensure these technologies are used responsibly.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide our Services, maintain student records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When data is no longer needed, it may be securely deleted or anonymized.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no online system can guarantee complete security.
