Self-Taught CRE ("Self-Taught CRE," "we," "us" or "our") operates www.self-taughtcre.com and courses.self-taughtcre.com (together, the "Site"), where we offer online courses, free resources and one-on-one coaching in commercial real estate financial modeling and investment analysis. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it and the choices you have.
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you create an account, enroll in a course, join a waitlist, book a session or contact us, we collect information such as your name, email address, billing details, and anything you choose to include in a message or form.
Payment information. Payments are processed by our course platform and its payment processors (such as Stripe or PayPal). We do not receive or store your full card number.
Course activity. When you take a course, our platform records your enrollment, lesson progress, quiz or assignment responses and completion status.
Automatically collected information. Like most websites, the Site uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages and the date and time of your visit.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide, operate and improve our courses, coaching and the Site
- Process purchases and send receipts, enrollment and account emails
- Respond to your questions and support requests
- Send course updates and, where you have agreed, occasional marketing emails, which you can unsubscribe from at any time
- Understand how visitors use the Site through analytics
- Prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Use and comply with legal obligations
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:
- Service providers that help us run the business, including our course platform (Thinkific), website host (Squarespace), payment processors, email providers and analytics providers such as Google Analytics, each of which may process information only on our behalf
- Professional advisers, or authorities when required by law or to protect our rights, users or the public
- A buyer or successor if the business is ever sold, merged or reorganized
4. Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences and measure how the Site is used. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work properly without them. You can opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
5. Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services, keep business and tax records, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
6. Your Choices and Rights
You may access, update or delete your account information, or ask us to do so, by emailing [email protected]. Depending on where you live (for example, California or the European Economic Area), you may have additional rights, such as the right to know what we hold about you, to correct it, to request deletion or to object to certain processing. We will respond to verified requests as required by applicable law.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your information, and our course platform and payment processors use industry-standard encryption. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children
The Site is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
9. International Users
We are based in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated by email or a notice on the Site.
