Our online learning platform is powered by Thinkific Labs Inc. (“Thinkific”).

In the event our sites contain links to third-party sites and services, please be aware that those sites and services have their own privacy policies.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of your activities after you leave our sites.
This policy is effective as of 4 March 2022.
