Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 02, 2025

Applies to: The University of Unlearning (UofU)

1. What We Collect
We collect just enough to do our job—not more. Here's what might land in our digital satchel:

- Personal Info: Name, email, or anything else you willingly offer (think: newsletter signups, course registration, contact forms).
- Usage Data: Page visits, clicks, device type, browser, and other data that helps us understand how the UofU is being explored (through cookies and third-party tools).
- Transaction Info: If you make a purchase, your payment will be securely handled by a trusted third-party processor. We don’t store your credit card data ourselves.

2. How We Use It
We use your info to:

- Share the resources, content, or updates you signed up for
- Improve the UofU’s functionality and flow
- Send occasional brain snacks (aka: newsletters, announcements, offers—only with your consent)
- Analyze what’s working, what’s not, and where we can unlearn better

We will never sell or rent your personal info. Because ew.

3. Cookies & Analytics
We use cookies. Not chocolate chip—but tiny data helpers that allow us to:

- Customize your journey through the UofU
- Track performance and usage for continuous improvement
- Speed up your experience

If you prefer a cookie-free existence, you can change your browser settings to block or delete them anytime.

4. Third-Party Services
We use trusted tools like:

- Google Analytics (insights into site behavior)
- Email Platforms (like ConvertKit or Mailchimp, for newsletters)
- Payment Processors (like Stripe or PayPal, to keep transactions secure)

These platforms have their own privacy policies. We only work with providers who take privacy as seriously as we do.

5. Your Rights
For All Humans:
You can always:

- Request access to your data
- Ask us to correct or delete your info
- Unsubscribe from emails (we include a link in every one)

To do any of the above, contact us at: CUE@theuniversityofunlearning.com

6. GDPR: For EU/UK Citizens
If you’re in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have specific rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to:

- Access and review the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Request deletion of your personal data (aka “the right to be forgotten”)
- Restrict or object to how we process your data
- Receive your data in a portable format
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Our lawful basis for processing your data may include:
- Your consent
- A contractual necessity (like when you buy a course)
- Legitimate interests (like improving our site, unless overridden by your rights)

If you’d like to exercise any of these rights, contact us at [insert email address] and we’ll respond as swiftly and soulfully as possible.

7. Children Under 13
The UofU is for deep thinkers, not diapered ones. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If we find out we accidentally did, we’ll delete it faster than you can say “unlearn.”

8. Security
We use secure methods to protect your data—encryption, secure servers, and cautious protocols. While no system is foolproof, we take every reasonable step to keep your info safe.

9. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy occasionally to keep it fresh, fair, and legally aligned. We’ll update the date at the top when we do. If it’s a big change, we’ll notify you in a not-boring way.

We believe unlearning should feel expansive—not invasive.

Thanks for trusting us with your curiosity and your data.
