Privacy Policy — How Launchly Handles Your Data

Effective Date: 1 January 2025

Knowledge, Structured. Careers, Launched.

At Launchly, we believe that trust is the foundation of education. We are committed to protecting your personal data and handling it with the same rigor we apply to our curriculum.

This policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your information in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell your personal data, and we limit data collection to what is strictly necessary to deliver our cohort-based learning experiences.

Data We Collect

We categorize the data we collect into four main areas:

  • Account Data:

    Full name, professional email address, password, job title, company name, and LinkedIn profile URL. This allows us to create your learner profile and tailor cohort recommendations.

  • Usage Data:

    Technical information such as IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you visit. This helps us diagnose technical issues and improve the stability of our platform.

  • Payment Data:

    If you purchase a course or learning path, we process payments through Stripe. We receive credit card details and billing addresses solely for transaction processing and invoicing.

  • Cookies:

    Essential cookies to maintain your session and functional cookies to remember your preferences (e.g., language or theme). We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

How We Use Your Data

We process your data to deliver our core services. This includes:

  • Service Delivery: Enrolling you in cohorts, providing access to course materials, and facilitating live sessions.
  • Personalization: Analyzing your progress to recommend relevant learning paths and resources within the platform.
  • Communications: Sending course updates, cohort schedules, and administrative notices. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time via your account settings.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with trusted third parties strictly for service purposes:

  • Payment Processors: Stripe for transaction handling and fraud prevention.
  • Cloud Infrastructure: AWS or Google Cloud for hosting our platform infrastructure.
  • Communication Tools: Zoom or Slack for live cohort sessions and peer collaboration.

All third parties are contractually bound to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data and are prohibited from using it for their own marketing.

Your Rights

Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. This includes your account details, course history, and interaction logs.

Right to Rectification: If your information is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request corrections at any time.

Right to Erasure: You may request the deletion of your account and associated data, subject to legal obligations (e.g., retention of transaction records for tax purposes).

Right to Data Portability: You may request that your data be transferred to another service provider in a structured, machine-readable format.
