Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Scalegrid Ascend (“we,” “our,” “us”) provides Internet marketing courses through scalegrid.top. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data. We commit to transparency, minimal collection, and security-by-design.

Plain summary: we collect what we need to run courses and support you; we do not sell your data; you can access, correct, or delete your information.

2. Data we collect

• • Account and contact data: name, email, phone (optional).
• • Enrollment details: courses purchased, progress, assessments.
• • Payment metadata: transaction IDs and status (processed by third-party gateways; we do not store full card numbers).
• • Technical data: IP address, device info, and usage logs for security and performance.
• • Cookies and local storage: preferences (theme), consent, Fallows list, and cart items.

3. How we use data

• • Provide and improve our courses and support.
• • Authenticate users and secure our platform.
• • Communicate essential updates, receipts, and service messages.
• • Analyze aggregated usage to enhance curriculum and site performance.
• • Comply with legal obligations and enforce policies.

4. Legal bases

Where applicable, we rely on contract necessity (providing courses), legitimate interests (security, improvement), consent (optional cookies, marketing), and legal obligations (records, fraud prevention).

5. Sharing

We share limited data with service providers under contracts that require confidentiality and security. Examples: payment processors, analytics tools, hosting, and customer support systems. We do not sell personal data.

6. International transfers

If data is transferred internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses and documented assessments.

7. Security

We use encryption in transit, strict access controls, and security monitoring. No system can be perfectly secure; we reduce risk through layered controls and regular reviews.

8. Data retention

We retain data while you have an account or as needed to provide services and comply with legal obligations. We then securely delete or anonymize data.

9. Your rights

Subject to local laws, you may request access, correction, deletion, or portability of your data, and object to or restrict processing. To exercise rights, contact [email protected].

10. Cookies

We use necessary cookies and localStorage for essential features (theme, Fallows, cart) and to remember consent. You can control preferences via the cookie banner in the footer.

11. Children

Our services are intended for individuals 16+ or as permitted by law. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

12. Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be announced on this page with an updated effective date.
