Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

• Account information — name, email address, password, company name, and phone number when you create an account or enroll in a course.
• Purchase information — billing address and payment details processed through Stripe (we do not store full card numbers).
• Enrollment information — course registrations, attendance records, and training history.
• Communications — messages you send us through contact forms or email.
• Newsletter subscriptions — email address when you subscribe to our mailing list.

We also collect certain information automatically — IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URLs — through standard web server logs and through analytics and advertising cookies (see “Cookies and Tracking” below).

We use the information we collect to:

• Process and fulfill course enrollments, software orders, and other purchases
• Send order confirmations, enrollment receipts, and class reminders
• Provide access to the subscriber portal and training materials
• Respond to your questions and support requests
• Send promotional emails and newsletters (you may unsubscribe at any time)
• Improve our website and services
• Measure site usage and the performance of our advertising
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share it with the service providers below; note that the use of advertising cookies may be considered “sharing” under California law, which you can opt out of (see “Cookies and Tracking” below).

• Stripe — payment processing. Subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.
• Resend — transactional email delivery (order confirmations, password resets).
• Autodesk — when you request a software quote, your contact information is shared with Autodesk to process the quote.
• Google — Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google Ads, used to measure site usage and advertising performance. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• HubSpot — marketing analytics and customer relationship management. Subject to HubSpot's Privacy Policy.
• Legal requirements — when required by law, court order, or to protect rights and safety.

We use cookies and similar technologies for three purposes:

• Essential — session cookies for authentication and local browser storage to keep your shopping cart. These are always active and required for the site to function.
• Analytics — Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) and HubSpot help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
• Advertising — Google Ads (via Google Tag Manager) lets us measure the performance of our advertising and may be used for remarketing.

We use Google Consent Mode and honor your advertising choice before any advertising tag loads. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for advertising at any time using the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the site footer, or by enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser — we detect and honor GPC automatically. Data collected through Google's and HubSpot's tools is governed by their own privacy policies.

We retain your account and purchase records for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter for legal and tax purposes. You may request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us.

We use industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption (via Cloudflare), secure password hashing, and access controls. Payment information is processed directly by Stripe and never stored on our servers.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email

To exercise these rights, contact us at info [at] cadmasters [dot] com.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
