This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website, contact us, create an account, enroll in training, complete labs or assessments, purchase services, or otherwise interact with us.
1. Information We Collect
Contact and identity information. Name, email address, telephone number, mailing or billing address, organization, and information you choose to provide when requesting support or enrollment information.
Account and enrollment information. Username, account preferences, selected programs, participation records, learning progress, lab activity, assessment results, certification status, and related administrative records.

Technical and usage information. IP address, browser and device information, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, timestamps, diagnostic logs, and cookie or analytics identifiers.
Communications and submitted content. Messages, form submissions, support requests, survey responses, assignments, capstone materials, and other information you send to us.
Accommodation or verification information. If necessary for an accommodation, exam integrity, or credential verification, we may request limited additional information. Please do not provide sensitive information unless it is requested and necessary.
2. How We Collect Information
We collect information directly from you; automatically through the website, cookies, and security or analytics tools; and from service providers that support payments, hosting, communications, enrollment, identity verification, or learning delivery.
3. How We Use Information
- Operate, secure, maintain, and improve our website, programs, labs, and learner services.
- Create and administer accounts, enrollments, examinations, and certifications.
- Process transactions, provide receipts, and maintain business and tax records.
- Deliver support, respond to requests, and send administrative notices.
- Detect fraud, misuse, security threats, academic misconduct, and unauthorized access.
- Measure website and program performance and improve the learner experience.
- Send marketing communications when permitted; you may unsubscribe at any time.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.
4. Cookies and Analytics
We and our service providers may use essential cookies for website functions, preference cookies, and analytics technologies that help us understand visits and improve performance. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some account, checkout, or learning features may not function correctly without essential cookies. Where required, we will request consent before using nonessential technologies.
5. How We Disclose Information
We may disclose personal information to service providers that perform functions for us, such as website hosting, payment processing, email delivery, analytics, learning-platform operation, exam administration, identity or security services, and professional support. These providers receive information only as reasonably necessary for their role.
We may also disclose information when required by law; to protect learners, the public, our rights, or system security; in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets; or when you direct or consent to the disclosure.
We do not knowingly sell personal information for money. We do not knowingly use personal information for targeted advertising across unrelated websites. If our practices change, we will update this policy and provide any legally required choices.
6. Data Retention
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing services, maintaining academic and credential-verification records, preventing fraud, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal, accounting, and tax requirements. Retention periods vary by information type and business need.
7. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No website, transmission, or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for using a strong password and protecting your account credentials.
8. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
You may update certain account information, unsubscribe from marketing messages, or contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of personal information associated with you. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information where permitted or required by law.
Residents of jurisdictions with applicable privacy laws, including Texas, may have additional rights regarding access, correction, deletion, portability, and certain data-processing choices. Requests and appeals may be sent to info@encryptedsyntaxinstitute.com. We will respond as required by applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our website and professional certification services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. Learners who are minors must participate with appropriate parent or guardian authorization. If you believe a child under 13 provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it when required.
10. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may link to or integrate with third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this policy. We encourage you to review those policies before providing information.
11. International Visitors
Encrypted Syntax Institute is based in the United States. If you access our services from another country, information may be processed in the United States and other locations where our service providers operate, subject to applicable safeguards and law.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy as our services or legal obligations change. The current version will appear on this page with an updated date. We will provide additional notice when required by law.
