The course currently uses an asynchronous learning setup, with course materials delivered through Google Classroom and support made available through group communication channels and one-on-one calls for more complex concerns.

Think Like A Programmer may collect proof of payment and related transaction details for the purpose of verifying enrollment.

We do not intentionally collect your banking passwords, PINs, one-time passwords, or other confidential login credentials.

Payment transactions may be processed through third-party financial service providers. Their own privacy policies and terms may also apply.

Our courses and services may use third-party platforms such as:

• Google Classroom
• Google services
• Discord
• Payment providers
• Website hosting providers
• Email or messaging services

When you use these services, their own privacy policies and terms may apply. We are not responsible for the independent data practices of third-party platforms.

If you submit a school ID or Certificate of Enrollment to qualify for a student rate, we will use it only for the purpose of verifying your eligibility, unless retention is required for legitimate administrative, accounting, or legal purposes.

You should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information that is not required for verification.

Learners may be encouraged to work on their own practical project ideas, including projects related to school, work, business, organizations, or communities.

You are responsible for ensuring that any information, files, datasets, or materials you use in your project are lawfully obtained and appropriate to share.

Do not upload confidential, proprietary, personal, or sensitive information belonging to another person or organization unless you have proper authority to do so.

We may use your name and course completion information for the purpose of issuing:

• Certificate of Training Completion

The course guide provides for these two certificates upon completion of the applicable requirements.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for:

• Course administration
• Student support
• Certificate issuance
• Financial or accounting records
• Legal or regulatory compliance
• Legitimate business purposes

When information is no longer necessary, we may securely delete, anonymize, or archive it as appropriate.

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Subject to applicable law, you may request to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion of certain information
• Withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing
• Ask questions about how your information is handled
