C. Third-Party Sources
We may receive information from third parties, such as social media logins (e.g., name, email, profile picture), payment processors, analytics providers, or partners (with your consent where required).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide and improve the Services (e.g., account management, course access, progress tracking, personalized learning recommendations)
- Process enrollments, subscriptions, and payments (via secure third-party processors)
- Communicate with you (e.g., technical emails, updates, support responses, educational newsletters—if you opt in)
- Personalize your experience (e.g., tailored course suggestions, content based on your progress)

- Prevent fraud, ensure security, enforce our Terms of Use, and comply with legal obligations
- Send marketing communications (with your consent or as permitted by law)
- Host events, forums, or community features
- For other legitimate business purposes, such as audits or service improvements
We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent, lease, or exchange personal data with third parties for their independent use.
3. How We Share Your Information
We share information only as necessary:
- With service providers (e.g., hosting, payment processors, analytics tools, customer support) who are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for our purposes
- With affiliates or partners for Service delivery (limited and controlled)
- In aggregated/anonymized form for research, analytics, or educational insights (no personal identifiers)
- To comply with law, respond to legal requests, protect rights/safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale
- With your consent or at your direction (e.g., sharing progress with a linked educator/account)
4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as needed to provide the Services, resolve issues, enforce agreements, or meet legal requirements (typically during your account's active period plus applicable limitation periods, e.g., 5–10 years for financial/transaction records). Connection logs are retained for shorter periods (e.g., 1 year). After retention ends, data is deleted or anonymized.
5. Your Rights and Choices
You may have rights under applicable laws (e.g., CCPA/CPRA for California residents), including to:

To exercise rights, contact us at privacy@mastrmind.com. We may verify your identity and respond within required timeframes. Authorized agents may submit requests with proof of authorization.
6. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures (e.g., encryption in transit/at rest, access controls, monitoring) to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Children's Privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 13 (or 16/18 in some cases for educational purposes). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without verifiable parental consent. If we learn of such collection, we will delete it promptly. Parents/guardians should contact us if concerned.
8. International Transfers
As a U.S. company, data is primarily processed in the United States. If you are outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. or other countries.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy. Changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance.
