The privacy of your data—and it is your data, not ours!—is a big deal to us. In this policy, we lay out: what data we collect and why; how your data is handled; and your rights with respect to your data. We promise we never sell your data: never have, never will.
This policy is split into sections. For your convenience, links to each of those sections is as follows:
This policy applies to PPPTX, a presentation software service provided by Aspire Coding Academy LLC ("Aspire Coding Academy", "we", "us", or "our").
This policy applies to our handling of information about site visitors, prospective customers, and authorized users (in relation to their use of PPPTX and management of their relationship with us). We refer collectively to these categories of individuals as "you" throughout this policy.
If you are a California resident, please note that we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and this privacy policy outlines your rights under California law.
Our guiding principle is to collect only what we need. Here’s what that means in practice:
When you sign up for PPPTX, we ask for identifying information such as your name and email address. That's so you can personalize your account, and we can send you service updates and other essential information. We may also send you optional surveys from time to time to help us understand how you use our services and to make improvements. With your consent, we will send you our newsletter and other updates. You may also have the option to add a profile picture that displays in your account.
We'll never sell your personal information to third parties, and we won't use your name in marketing statements without your permission either.
If you upgrade to a paid plan on PPPTX, you will be asked to provide your payment information and billing address. Credit card information is submitted directly to our payment processor (Stripe) and doesn't hit our servers. We store a record of the payment transaction, including the last 4 digits of the credit card number, for purposes of account history, invoicing, and billing support. We store your billing address so we can charge you for service, calculate any sales tax due, send you invoices, and detect fraudulent credit card transactions. We occasionally use aggregate billing information to guide our marketing efforts.
We store on our servers the content that you upload or create through PPPTX. This includes presentations, slides, text documents, images, and other materials you create or upload. This is so you can use our services as intended and access your work across devices. We keep this content as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we'll delete the content within 60 days.
We log the full IP address used to sign up an account and retain that for use in mitigating future spammy signups. We also log all account access by full IP address for security and fraud prevention purposes, and we keep this login data for as long as your account is active.
We collect information about your browsing activity for analytics and statistical purposes such as conversion rate testing and experimenting with new product designs. This includes, for example, your browser and operating system versions, your IP address, which web pages you visited and how long they took to load, and which website referred you to us. If you have an account and are signed in, these web analytics data are tied to your IP address and user account until your account is no longer active. The web analytics we use are described further in the Advertising and Cookies section.
We use CAPTCHA across our website to mitigate brute force logins and as a means of spam protection. We have a legitimate interest in protecting our services and the broader Internet community from credential stuffing attacks and spam. When you log into your account and when you fill in certain forms, the CAPTCHA service evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, how long the visitor has been on the site, mouse movements) to try to detect if the activity is from an automated program instead of a human. The CAPTCHA service then provides Aspire Coding Academy with the spam score results; we do not have access to the evaluated information.
Aspire Coding Academy may run ads on various third-party platforms such as Google and social media networks. Users who click on one of our ads will be sent to our website. Where permissible under law, we may load an ad-company script on their browsers that sets a third-party cookie and sends information to the ad network to enable evaluation of the effectiveness of our ads, e.g., which ad they clicked and which keyword triggered the ad, and whether they performed certain actions such as clicking a button or submitting a form.
We also use persistent first-party cookies and some third-party cookies to store certain preferences, make it easier for you to use our services, and perform A/B testing as well as support some analytics.
A cookie is a piece of text stored by your browser. It may help remember login information and site preferences. It might also collect information such as your browser type, operating system, web pages visited, duration of visit, content viewed, and other click-stream data. You can adjust cookie retention settings and accept or block individual cookies in your browser settings, although our services won't work properly if you turn cookies off.
When you email Aspire Coding Academy with a question or to ask for help, we keep that correspondence, including your email address, so that we have a history of past correspondence to reference if you reach out in the future.
We also store information you may volunteer, for example, written responses to surveys. If you agree to a student or customer interview, we may ask for your permission to record the conversation for future reference or use. We will only do so with your express consent.
To provide services you've requested. We use some third-party service providers to help run our platform and provide the services to you. These may include hosting providers, payment processors (such as Stripe), email service providers, and analytics tools. We also use third-party processors for other business functions such as managing newsletter subscriptions and sending customer surveys.
Our staff does not look at your content except for limited purposes with your express permission, for example, if an error occurs that stops an automated process from working and requires manual intervention to fix, or if you request help with a technical issue. These are rare cases, and when they happen, we look for root cause solutions as much as possible to avoid them recurring. We may also access your data if required in order to respond to legal process (see "When required under applicable law" below).
To exclude you from seeing our ads. Where permissible by law and if you have an account, we may disclose a one-way hash of your email address with ad companies to exclude you from seeing our ads.
To help you troubleshoot or resolve a technical issue, with your permission. If at any point we need to access your content to help you with a support case, we will ask for your consent before proceeding.
To investigate, prevent, or take action regarding restricted uses. Accessing a user account when investigating potential abuse is a measure of last resort. We want to protect the privacy and safety of both our users and the people reporting issues to us, and we do our best to balance those responsibilities throughout the process. If we discover you are using our services for a restricted purpose, we will take action as necessary, including notifying appropriate authorities where warranted.
Aggregated and de-identified data. We may aggregate and/or de-identify information collected through the services. We may use de-identified or aggregated data for any purpose, including marketing or analytics.
When required under applicable law. Aspire Coding Academy LLC is a U.S. company and all data infrastructure are located in the U.S.
Requests for user data. Our policy is to not respond to government requests for user data unless we are compelled by legal process or in limited circumstances in the event of an emergency request. However, if U.S. law enforcement authorities have the necessary warrant, criminal subpoena, or court order requiring us to disclose data, we must comply. Likewise, we will only respond to requests from government authorities outside the U.S. if compelled by the U.S. government through procedures outlined in a mutual legal assistance treaty or agreement. It is Aspire Coding Academy's policy to notify affected users before we disclose data unless we are legally prohibited from doing so, and except in some emergency cases.
Preservation requests. Similarly, Aspire Coding Academy's policy is to comply with requests to preserve data only if compelled by the U.S. Federal Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. Section 2703(f), or by a properly served U.S. subpoena for civil matters. We do not disclose preserved data unless required by law or compelled by a court order that we choose not to appeal. Furthermore, unless we receive a proper warrant, court order, or subpoena before the required preservation period expires, we will destroy any preserved copies of customer data at the end of the preservation period.
If we are audited by a tax authority, we may be required to disclose billing-related information. If that happens, we will disclose only the minimum needed, such as billing addresses and tax exemption information.
Finally, if Aspire Coding Academy is acquired by or merges with another company — we don't plan on that, but if it happens — we'll notify you well before any of your personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
At Aspire Coding Academy, we strive to apply the same data rights to all users, regardless of their location. Some of these rights include:
Many of these rights can be exercised by signing in and updating your account information. Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need to retain certain information in order to provide our services to you.
In some cases, we also need to take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, verifying your name and email address. If we are unable to verify you, we may be unable to respond to your requests. If you have questions about exercising these rights or need assistance, please contact us at contact@aspirecodingacademy.com or at Aspire Coding Academy LLC, 800 W Sam Houston Pkwy S #130, Houston, TX 77042 USA. If an authorized agent is corresponding on your behalf, we will need written consent with a signature from the account holder before proceeding.
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to appeal our decision to deny your request, if applicable. We will provide information about how to exercise that right in our response denying the request. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. If you are in the EU or UK, you can contact your data protection authority to file a complaint or learn more about local privacy laws.
All data is encrypted via SSL/TLS when transmitted from our servers to your browser. The database backups are also encrypted. In addition, we go to great lengths to secure your data at rest. We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption, access controls, and regular security audits to protect your information.
If you delete content from your account, the deleted content may remain on our active servers for up to 30 days, and copies of the content may be held in backups of our databases for up to another 30 days after that. Altogether, any deleted content should be purged from all of our systems and logs within 60 days.
If you choose to cancel your account, your content will become immediately inaccessible and should be purged from our systems in full within 60 days.
We keep your information for the time necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and your choices, after which time we may delete and/or aggregate it. We may also retain and use this information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Through this policy, we have provided specific retention periods for certain types of information.
Our services and website are operated in the United States. If you are located in the European Union, UK, or elsewhere outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred to and stored in the United States. By using our website or services and/or providing us with your personal information, you consent to this transfer.
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has issued guidance that personal data transferred out of the EU must be treated with the same level of protection that is granted under EU privacy law. UK law provides similar safeguards for UK user data that is transferred out of the UK. Accordingly, Aspire Coding Academy has adopted Standard Contractual Clauses to help ensure this protection for any EU or UK users of our services.
EU personal data may be transferred to the U.S. in connection with Aspire Coding Academy operations, for instance, if an EU user signs up for our services, newsletter, or participates in one of our surveys. Such transfers are made under appropriate safeguards in accordance with GDPR and the UK version of GDPR.
We may update this policy as needed to comply with relevant regulations and reflect any new practices. Whenever we make a significant change to our policies, we will refresh the date at the top of this page and take any other appropriate steps to notify users.
