We collect several types of information from and about users of our services. This includes personal information you voluntarily provide when you register for an account, enroll in courses, make donations, or contact us.

How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our educational services. This includes processing your registrations and enrollments, administering your account, and facilitating your participation in our programs.
