Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

We may collect information you provide when you create an account, apply as an instructor or creator, publish media, submit reviews or comments, contact us, report a safety concern, or make a purchase. This can include your name, email address, profile information, location, training preferences, uploaded content, and information contained in applications or verification materials.

We also collect information generated by your use of the service, such as authentication and session information, pages and features you use, purchases, downloads, likes, favorites, collections, creator earnings records, and security or audit events.

2. How we use information

We use information to operate and secure DroneClasses.com, authenticate accounts, match students with training providers, review instructor and creator submissions, publish and display media, process purchases, provide downloads, calculate creator earnings, respond to support or safety reports, prevent fraud and abuse, maintain records, and improve the service.

3. Payments

Payments are processed through payment providers such as PayPal. DroneClasses does not need to store your full payment-card or PayPal authentication credentials to provide the marketplace. Payment providers may collect and process payment information under their own privacy policies and terms.

4. Service providers

DroneClasses uses third-party infrastructure and service providers to operate the service, including hosting, database/authentication, storage, email, analytics where enabled, and payment processing. Information is shared with these providers only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, and maintain the service.

5. Cookies and local storage

We may use cookies, session storage, and similar technologies for authentication, security, preferences, and temporary marketplace selections. For example, an anonymous media selection may be retained temporarily so that it can be restored after sign-in.

6. User content and public profiles

Information you choose to publish publicly, including creator profiles, media, comments, reviews, and other public profile fields, may be visible to other users and search engines. Do not publish information you want to keep private.

7. Retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including transaction, accounting, security, dispute, and legal obligations. We use access controls, database policies, private storage where appropriate, and other reasonable safeguards. No online service can guarantee absolute security.

8. Your choices

Depending on the information and applicable law, you may request access, correction, or deletion of personal information. Some records may need to be retained for legal, security, transaction, fraud-prevention, or dispute purposes.

9. Children

DroneClasses is not directed to children who are below the minimum age required to use the service in their jurisdiction. Do not create an account or submit personal information if you are not legally permitted to use the service.

10. International use

DroneClasses and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. By using the service, you acknowledge that information may be transferred and processed across borders, subject to applicable law.

11. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy as the service changes. The effective date at the top of this page will identify the current version.

12. Contact

Before production launch, DroneClasses should publish its legal business name and a monitored privacy/support contact address here. Until that information is finalized, please use the support contact displayed by DroneClasses.com.
