Coached by Devan Carter ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company") operates the website located at https://coachedbydev.samcart.com/products/aimasterclass (the "Site"), which offers the AI Masterclass course (the "Course"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site, enroll in the Course, or interact with our services. By using the Site or purchasing the Course, you consent to the practices described herein.
This Policy complies with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Union, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) in the UK, and other relevant global standards such as those under the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Brazil's Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD). If you are a resident of a jurisdiction with stricter requirements, we will adhere to the most protective standard applicable to you.
We do not sell your personal data as defined under the CCPA/CPRA. Our Site is hosted and transactions are processed through SamCart, Inc. ("SamCart"), a third-party e-commerce provider. Data collected via SamCart is subject to this Policy and SamCart's own privacy practices, which we incorporate by reference.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to facilitate your enrollment in the Course, deliver services, and improve your experience. The types of information include:
Personal Information
Contact Details: First name, last name, email address, and phone number, provided during checkout or registration.
Billing and Payment Information: Billing address (including street address, city, state, ZIP/postal code, and country), credit card details, and other payment method information (e.g., PayPal account). We do not store full payment card details on our servers; these are handled securely by our payment processors.
Account Information: Username, password (hashed), and enrollment preferences if you create an account for Course access.
Technical and Usage Data
Device and Network Information: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type/version, and unique device identifiers.
Usage Analytics: Pages viewed, time spent on the Site, referral sources, and interaction data (e.g., clicks, downloads).
Cookies and Tracking Data: See Section 8 for details.
Data Collected by Third Parties
SamCart, as our e-commerce and checkout provider, collects the above information on our behalf during transactions. This may include transaction IDs, order history, and refund details. Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) collect payment-specific data. Analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) collect anonymized usage data.
We do not collect sensitive personal data (e.g., health, racial, or political information) unless voluntarily provided in customer support inquiries, in which case it is processed only as necessary for resolution.
2. How We Collect Your Data
We collect data through multiple channels to ensure seamless service delivery:
Direct Collection
User input forms during checkout, registration, or contact submissions (e.g., name, email, billing details).
Automatic Collection
Cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies track Site interactions.
Server logs capture IP addresses and technical details upon Site access.
Third-Party Collection
SamCart collects checkout data via embedded forms.
Payment gateways capture payment details during transactions.
Integrated analytics and marketing tools (e.g., Google Analytics, email service providers like Mailchimp) collect data through pixels or scripts.
All collections are limited to what is necessary for the purposes outlined in Section 3.
3. How We Use Your Personal Data
We use your data solely for legitimate business purposes, always with your consent where required:
Course Enrollment and Delivery: To process purchases, create accounts, grant access to Course materials (e.g., videos, templates), and send enrollment confirmations.
Transaction Processing: To handle payments, issue refunds, and prevent fraud (e.g., via address verification).
Customer Support: To respond to inquiries, provide technical assistance, and manage Course-related communications.
Marketing and Communications: To send newsletters, promotional emails about the Course or related offerings (e.g., updates from Devan Carter), subject to your opt-out at any time via unsubscribe links.
Analytics and Improvement: To analyze Site usage, improve content, and personalize experiences (e.g., recommending modules based on progress).
Legal and Compliance: To comply with tax laws, resolve disputes, enforce terms, or respond to regulatory requests.
Under PECR and similar laws, we obtain consent for non-essential marketing emails and honor opt-outs promptly.
Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Contractual Necessity: For enrollment, delivery, and transaction processing (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Consent: For marketing communications (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Legitimate Interests: For analytics, fraud prevention, and Site security (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), balanced against your rights.
Legal Obligation: For compliance with tax or regulatory requirements (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.
4. Third-Party Data Sharing
We share data only as necessary to operate the Site and Course, never for unauthorized resale or unrelated purposes. Recipients include:
Service Providers: SamCart (e-commerce), payment processors (e.g., Stripe), email platforms (e.g., Mailchimp), and hosting providers (e.g., AWS). These are bound by data processing agreements ensuring confidentiality.
Analytics and Marketing Partners: Google Analytics (anonymized data) and similar tools for performance tracking.
Legal Authorities: As required by law, such as subpoenas or tax audits.
No data is shared with advertisers for profiling without consent. Under CCPA/CPRA, we do not "sell" or "share" personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
5. Data Retention and Storage
We retain data only as long as necessary:

Data is stored securely on servers in the United States, with backups in compliant jurisdictions. For EU/UK users, international transfers to non-adequate countries use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, supplemented by Transfer Impact Assessments.
Upon retention expiration or request, data is securely deleted or anonymized.
