PRIVACY POLICY

Mathiko  —  mathiko.com  ·  learn.mathiko.com

Effective Date: September 28, 2026     |     Last Updated: September 28, 2026

1. Introduction

Mathiko LLC ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use Mathiko — including our website at mathiko.com and our course school at learn.mathiko.com — and related services (the "Services"), and describes your rights, including under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA"), and, where applicable, the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").

A short summary of what we collect and why is provided in our Notice at Collection, which appears at or before the point where we collect your information. That notice and this Policy should be read together.

2. Our Course Platform and Website Hosting

Our courses are hosted and delivered through Thinkific (the "Platform") at learn.mathiko.com, and our main website, mathiko.com, is hosted on Cloudflare. The Platform acts as our service provider and processor for the student information we collect through it, under its data processing terms. The Platform and its payment partners, such as Stripe, also process certain information for their own purposes, such as operating their services, processing payments, and preventing fraud, and their own privacy policies govern that processing. You should review them.

3. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

• Identifiers: name, email address, username, and account details you provide, and online identifiers such as your IP address and cookie IDs.
• Payment information: billing details processed by the Platform and its third-party payment processors. We do not store full card numbers.
• Commercial information: courses purchased, order history, and refund requests.
• Course activity: lessons viewed, completion progress, quiz results, and downloads.
• Internet activity: pages viewed, device and browser information, IP address, and interactions with the Services.
• User content: comments, questions, and any code or project work you submit for feedback.
• Communications: messages, support requests, and feedback you send us.

4. Categories of Sources

We collect personal information: (a) directly from you when you register, purchase, join our email list, submit work, or contact us; (b) automatically through the Platform and through cookies and similar technologies as you use the Services; and (c) from third parties such as the Platform, payment processors, sign-in providers you choose to use (such as Apple, Google, Facebook, or LinkedIn), analytics providers, and hosting and security providers.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information for the following business and commercial purposes: to provide and operate the Services; process transactions and deliver courses; create and manage your account; review and respond to work you submit; respond to inquiries and provide support; send administrative communications and, where permitted, marketing communications such as our email newsletter; advertise our courses, including measuring how our ads perform and showing our ads to people who have visited mathiko.com (see Section 8); improve and personalize the Services; detect and prevent fraud or abuse; and comply with legal obligations. We do not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with these without providing notice.

6. Categories Collected, Sold, Shared, and Disclosed

The table below sets out each category of personal information we collect, whether we sell or share it, and the categories of recipients to whom we disclose it for business purposes. We do not sell personal information for money. We do "share" online identifiers (such as IP address and cookie IDs), internet and device activity, and the fact and amount of course purchases, all collected on mathiko.com, with Meta for cross-context behavioral advertising, as described in Section 8, and you can opt out of that sharing at any time.

We may also disclose any category to professional advisors such as lawyers and accountants, and to legal or regulatory authorities where required, and we may transfer information in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. If our use of advertising technology changes, we will update this table and this Policy before that change takes effect.

7. Third-Party AI and Developer Tools

Our courses teach the use of third-party AI tools, code editors, and cloud services. When you use those tools, you interact directly with their providers under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not receive, store, or have access to your prompts, your code, or the output you generate with those tools, unless you choose to submit that material to us — for example, by posting it in a course comment or submitting a project for feedback.

You are responsible for reviewing the privacy practices of any tool you choose, and for not entering confidential or third-party personal information into those tools without authorization.

8. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

We, the Platform, and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Services, keep you signed in, remember preferences, secure checkout and prevent fraud (for example, Stripe and Google reCAPTCHA), protect our website from abuse (Cloudflare), and understand how the Services are used (for example, Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics on mathiko.com). Some of these are set by the Platform or by those providers rather than by us. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Advertising (Meta Pixel). On mathiko.com, including the confirmation page you are taken to after buying a course, we use the Meta Pixel, a tool provided by Meta Platforms, Inc., to measure how our ads on Facebook and Instagram perform and to show our ads to people who have visited our website. When it runs, the Meta Pixel collects information such as the pages you view, actions you take (for example, starting checkout or buying a course, including the purchase amount), your IP address, and browser and device information, together with cookie identifiers, and sends it to Meta. Meta may link this information to your Meta account and uses it under its own privacy policy. Under California law, this is "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information for money; if this use of the Meta Pixel were treated as a "sale" under California law, the opt-out described below covers it too. Our course school at learn.mathiko.com does not use the Meta Pixel.

Your choices. You can opt out of this sharing at any time on our "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" page at mathiko.com/privacy-choices.html, which is linked at the bottom of every page on mathiko.com. We also treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal sent by your browser as a valid request to opt out. Your choice is saved in your browser, so you may need to set it again if you clear your browsing data or use a different browser or device.

Visitors in Europe. If you visit mathiko.com from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland (which we determine from your device's time zone setting), we do not use analytics or advertising cookies unless you accept them in our cookie banner. Until you do, Google Analytics operates without setting cookies and the Meta Pixel does not load. You can withdraw your consent at any time at mathiko.com/privacy-choices.html.

9. Sensitive Personal Information

"Sensitive personal information" includes categories such as account log-in credentials, precise geolocation, and similar data. We collect log-in credentials only to operate your account. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would require offering a right to limit under CCPA/CPRA, and we do not sell or share it.

10. Data Retention

We retain account and purchase records for as long as your account remains active and for up to seven (7) years afterward, to meet tax, accounting, and record-keeping obligations. Course activity and user content are retained for as long as your account remains active. Support correspondence is retained for up to three (3) years. If you join our email list, we keep your name and email address until you unsubscribe, and afterward keep only a record of the unsubscribe so that we can honor it. Where a longer period is required to resolve a dispute or enforce our agreements, we retain the relevant information for that period. Information collected through cookies and similar technologies on mathiko.com is kept for shorter periods: Google Analytics keeps it for up to 14 months after your last visit, the Meta Pixel cookie expires after 90 days, and the cookie that records your privacy choice expires after one year. Meta keeps the information it receives under its own retention policies. When no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.

11. Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• Know: request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
• Delete: request that we delete personal information we collected, subject to exceptions.
• Correct: request that we correct inaccurate personal information.
• Opt Out: opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell personal information for money. To opt out of sharing (and anything California law might treat as a sale), use our "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" page at mathiko.com/privacy-choices.html or turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser (see Section 8).
• Limit: limit the use of sensitive personal information. As noted above, we do not use it for purposes that require an opt-out.
• Non-Discrimination: not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your rights.

How to submit a request. Because we operate exclusively online and have a direct relationship with you, you may submit requests by emailing [email protected]. Please include the email address associated with your account and describe what you are requesting.

What happens next. We will acknowledge your request, take reasonable steps to verify your identity using information already associated with your account, and respond within the timeframes required by law. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf; we may ask the agent for proof of authorization and may ask you to verify your own identity directly.

12. Appeals

California law does not provide a general right to appeal a denied privacy request. If you are a resident of a state whose law does provide one — such as Virginia, Colorado, or Connecticut — and we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision or by writing to [email protected] with "privacy appeal" in the subject line. We will respond within the period required by your state's law and will tell you how to contact your state attorney general if you remain dissatisfied.

13. International Users and GDPR Rights

The Services are operated from the United States. If you access them from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be processed in the United States. Where the EU or UK GDPR applies to you, our legal bases for processing may include performance of a contract, our legitimate interests, your consent, and compliance with legal obligations. We rely on your consent for analytics and advertising cookies, which you can withdraw at any time at mathiko.com/privacy-choices.html. For the Meta Pixel, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited are joint controllers for collecting your data on our website and sending it to Meta; Meta is responsible for its own processing after that, as described in its privacy policy. You may have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

14. Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it. Users between 13 and 18 should use the Services only with parental involvement. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

15. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information, and we rely on the security measures of the Platform and our other service providers. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

16. Third-Party Links

The Services contain links to third-party websites and tools. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

17. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted with a revised effective date, and material changes may be communicated to you directly.
