Privacy Policy

AI Mastery Academy ("we") is the controller of the personal data described in this policy. AI Mastery Academy is operated by Grove Group LLC. You can reach us at support@aiacademy101.com.

Business address: Worcester, Massachusetts.

• Account details: your name, email address, login credentials, role and profile information such as your skill level, learning goals, daily goal and timezone.
• Learning activity: the lessons you open and complete, reading progress, quiz and worksheet results, certification exam attempts, certificates, badges, flashcards and study streaks.
• Content you create: lesson notes, flashcard sets, saved AI Playground outputs, your conversations with the AI tutor, project submissions and links, content requests, ratings and feedback.
• Payment information: handled by Pipeline Pilot, our sales partner. We receive your membership status, plan, renewal date and identifiers such as an order or customer reference. We never see or store your card number.
• Technical data: device and browser type, approximate location from your IP address, session and security logs, and error reports.

• To provide the service: create your account, save your progress, unlock the content you have paid for and issue certificates.
• To personalize learning: recommend modules, build study plans and schedule flashcard reviews based on your activity.
• To run AI features: generate quizzes, tutor answers, project feedback and audio narration.
• To take payments and prevent fraud: manage subscriptions, renewals, refunds and disputes.
• To communicate with you: service messages such as receipts, password resets, renewal notices and, if you opt in, learning emails and product news. You can unsubscribe from marketing email at any time.
• To keep the platform healthy: monitor abuse, protect against misuse of paid AI features, and understand which content helps learners.
• To meet legal obligations: tax, accounting and lawful requests.

When you use the AI tutor, generate a quiz, request project feedback, use the playground, or create audio narration, the relevant text is sent to third-party AI providers so they can return a result. This can include lesson text, your prompt, your notes and your project description.

• We use these providers to deliver the feature you asked for, not to train our own models.
• Because AI systems process the text you send, please do not enter confidential business information, or personal information about other people.
• AI output is generated automatically and can be inaccurate. See section 8 of our Terms of Service.

Stripe processes payments and stores your card details. Stripe acts as an independent controller of the payment data it handles, under its own privacy policy. We receive only the information needed to manage your subscription and provide support.

We use cookies and browser storage for essential purposes: keeping you signed in, protecting your session, and remembering preferences such as dark mode. We do not use advertising cookies or sell audience data to ad networks. You can clear cookies and site storage in your browser, although you will be signed out.

• Service providers who process data on our behalf: our hosting and database provider, Stripe for payments, third-party AI providers for generation and narration, and email providers for messages.
• People you choose to share with: your portfolio page, your certificate and its public verification page can be viewed by anyone with the link, and you can share them to LinkedIn and other networks.
• Legal and safety: where we are required by law, or need to protect our rights, our users or the public.
• We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

• Account and profile data: while your account is active, and for a limited period afterwards in case you return.
• Learning records and certificates: kept for as long as needed to support certificate verification and any credential you have earned.
• Payment records: kept for the period required by tax and accounting rules.
• Aggregated, de-identified statistics about how content performs: kept indefinitely, because they no longer identify you.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• See what personal data we hold about you, and receive a copy or a portable export.
• Correct information that is wrong or incomplete.
• Delete your account and personal data, subject to records we must keep by law or to support a certificate you have earned.
• Restrict or object to certain processing, including direct marketing.
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

California residents additionally have the right to know, delete, correct and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA. To exercise a right, email support@aiacademy101.com from the address on your account. We reply within 30 days, or sooner where the law requires it.

Access to learner records is restricted so that each person sees only their own data. Course content is released only to accounts whose membership is live, and that check is applied to the content itself on every request rather than to the pages around it. Card payments are handled entirely by Pipeline Pilot and never reach this platform. Data is encrypted in transit. No system is completely secure, so please use a strong, unique password and tell us immediately if you suspect a problem with your account.

We and our providers may process your data in the United States and other countries. Where personal data leaves the UK or European Economic Area, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses with our providers.

The platform is designed for adults and older students, and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from a child under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy as the platform changes. We will change the "last updated" date, and we will notify you of a material change by email or in the app before it takes effect. You can also see the current version here at any time. Our Terms of Service and Refund Policy set out the rest of our agreement with you.
