Your privacy matters. This policy explains plainly what information we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used. We do not sell your data — ever.
Who we are
applicationof.com is operated by Kerri Carter, providing online skills education courses and related content. You can reach us at hello@applicationof.com.
What information we collect
We collect information you provide directly when you:
- Purchase a course (name, email address, billing information processed securely by Stripe)
- Sign up for our email list or lead magnet (name and email address)
- Contact us directly by email
- Complete workbooks or submit feedback
We may also collect basic technical data automatically, including your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, through standard web analytics tools.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Deliver the course content and materials you purchased
- Send transactional emails related to your purchase or enrollment
- Send educational and marketing emails if you have opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time)
- Improve our courses and content based on aggregate feedback
- Comply with legal obligations
Payment processing
All payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card or billing details on our servers. Stripe's privacy policy governs the handling of your payment information and can be reviewed at stripe.com/privacy.
Email communications
If you opt in to our mailing list, we will send you course updates, educational content, and occasional promotional offers. Every email includes a clear unsubscribe link. We use a third-party email platform to manage our list — your email address is stored with that provider in accordance with their privacy policy.
We do not share, sell, or rent your email address to third parties.
Cookies
Our website may use cookies for basic analytics and to remember preferences. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from accessing course content.
Data retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal requirements, or as otherwise described in this policy. You may request deletion of your data at any time by emailing hello@applicationof.com.
Your rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Opt out of marketing communications at any time
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@applicationof.com.
Third-party services
Our website and course delivery may use third-party services including Stripe (payments), Podia (course platform), and an email marketing provider. Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy.
Children's privacy
Our courses are designed for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of our site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
