Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 19, 2026

Last Updated: March 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how AI for Editors collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website, enroll in our courses, or otherwise interact with our services.

​

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

  • Name and email address (e.g., when you sign up for a course, join our mailing list, or contact us)

  • Billing and payment information (processed securely through our third-party payment processor—see Section 4)

  • Course enrollment and account information on our learning platform

​

Information collected automatically:

  • Device and browser type, IP address, and general location data

  • Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs

  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 5)

​

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Process course enrollments and payments

  • Deliver course content and track your learning progress

  • Send transactional emails (e.g., enrollment confirmations, course updates)

  • Send marketing communications, where you have opted in (you may unsubscribe at any time)

  • Improve our website, courses, and services

  • Comply with legal obligations

​

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with the following categories of service providers, solely to operate our business:

  • Payment processing: Stripe (handles all payment and billing data—we do not store your full credit card number)

  • Course platform: Thinkific (hosts course content, tracks enrollment and progress)

  • Email marketing: Mailchimp

  • Website analytics: Google Analytics (collects anonymized usage data)

​

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.

​

4. Payment Information

All payment transactions are processed through Stripe. Your payment details are transmitted directly to Stripe using industry-standard encryption. We do not store or have access to your full payment card information. Stripe's privacy policy is available at https://stripe.com/privacy.

​

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to analyze site traffic and improve your experience. These may include:

  • Essential cookies required for site functionality

  • Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site

​

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

​

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for the duration of your active relationship with us. Because many of our users maintain dormant accounts for future use, we do not automatically delete data upon the end of a subscription. However, to ensure we do not hold data indefinitely, we will delete or anonymize your account data after 7 years of continuous inactivity, unless a shorter period is required by law or requested by you.

 

Notwithstanding the above, in accordance with IRS and other US tax obligations, we retain all financial and transaction records (such as invoices and payment history) for 7 years from the date of the transaction. This data will be securely archived, excluded from all other processing, and will not be used for marketing or profiling purposes.

 

Please note that canceling a paid subscription is not the same as a request for data deletion.

  • Subscription Cancellation: When you cancel a subscription, we retain your account data (such as course progress in Thinkific or message history in Slack) so that you may reactivate your services in the future.

  • Data Deletion: To permanently remove your personal data, you must submit a formal deletion request to support@aiforeditors.com. Upon receipt of this notification, we will delete or anonymize your account data within 30 days.

​

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Request correction of inaccurate data

  • Request deletion of your data

  • Opt out of marketing communications

  • Object to or restrict certain processing of your data

​

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@aiforeditors.com.

​

8. International Users

AI for Editors serves students in multiple countries. If you are located outside the United States, please be aware that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using our services, you consent to this transfer. We are committed to protecting your data in accordance with this policy regardless of where you are located.

 

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, additional rights may apply under the GDPR.

​

Our legal address is AI for Editors, 420 Summit Ave., St. Paul MN 55102, USA.

​

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

​

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
