Plainflow privacy-first approach
We aim to collect only what we need to deliver a secure, smooth learning experience. We do not sell personal data.
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Plainflow Programming Courses (plainflow.click) collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit our website, use course content, or contact our team. We design and operate our services with privacy by default and security in mind.
“Personal data” generally means any information that can identify you directly or indirectly (for example, contact details, account identifiers, or device identifiers). This policy applies to our website and learning experiences that link to it.
Data We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly and information generated by your use of the service. The types of data can include:
Information you provide
Name, email address, messages sent to support, and any details you choose to share when communicating with us.
Usage & device data
Pages visited, time spent, referrers, approximate location (from IP), browser type, and device identifiers used for security and analytics.
Preferences
Settings such as theme (light/dark) and cookie preferences stored locally on your device.
Support interactions
Ticket metadata and troubleshooting context (e.g., timestamps, affected pages) to resolve issues and prevent abuse.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal data. Please avoid sending sensitive information in support messages.
How We Use Data
We use data to operate and improve our services. Typical purposes include:
- Service delivery: providing content access, remembering settings, and enabling core site features.
- Security: detecting fraud/abuse, rate-limiting, and protecting accounts.
- Support: responding to requests and troubleshooting issues.
- Improvement: aggregated analytics to understand performance and improve learning experience.
Where required, we rely on consent (for example, optional analytics cookies). For essential operations, we rely on legitimate interests such as securing and maintaining the website.

Request a privacy action
Use this form to draft a request. It does not automatically send data; you control the message.
Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal data. No system is perfectly secure, so we encourage you to use strong unique passwords and keep devices updated.
If we become aware of a security incident affecting your data, we will take reasonable steps to mitigate and, where required, notify affected users and relevant authorities.
Retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary by data type and context (for example, support messages may be kept for continuity and auditability).
