Information We Collect and How We Use It
RidgeGrove collects specific types of information to provide and improve our educational services, facilitate communication, and ensure a seamless user experience. We commit to collecting only the data necessary for these purposes.
When you enroll in a course or contact us, we collect personal details like your name, email address, and phone number. This information is primarily used for course enrollment, communication regarding your studies, and managing your account.
We track your course progress, completion status, and assessment results to provide personalized learning experiences, issue certifications, and offer relevant support. This data helps us understand learning patterns and improve our curriculum.
To optimize our platform and troubleshoot issues, we collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and device information. This helps us ensure compatibility and enhance your access to RidgeGrove's resources.
Your marketing opt-ins and newsletter subscriptions are recorded to respect your choices. For payments, billing details are processed securely via third-party payment processors; RidgeGrove does not directly store sensitive financial information. We also analyze website interaction data to continuously improve user experience.
