Privacy Policy

CodeVerge collects information you provide when registering on the platform, including your name, email address, phone number, and payment details. We also automatically collect data about your interaction with the platform: IP address, device type, browser, page visit times, and learning progress.

When using our programming courses, we track assignment completion, test results, and activity in learning projects to personalize your educational experience. Data about your progress in coding bootcamp and web development courses helps us improve the quality of education.

We may also collect information through cookies and similar tracking technologies to analyze website usage and optimize the functionality of the online learning platform.

The collected data is used to provide and improve our educational services in the field of programming and software engineering. We process your information to manage your account, provide access to courses, track progress, and issue course completion certificates.

Your data helps us personalize course recommendations for web development, data science, and other digital skills that match your learning goals. We use analytics to understand which programming teaching methods are most effective for students in South Africa.

Information is also used to communicate with you: sending course updates, class reminders, news about new learning programs, and marketing materials (with an option to unsubscribe). We process payment information for transactions and invoicing for our online programming courses.

CodeVerge implements modern technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We use SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission and secure servers for information storage.

Only authorized employees who are required to maintain confidentiality have access to personal data of students in our coding bootcamp and online courses. We regularly conduct security audits of our systems and update protection protocols in accordance with industry best practices.

Payment data is processed through PCI DSS certified payment gateways, and we do not store complete credit card details on our servers. Despite all precautions, no method of data transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. CodeVerge may transfer your data only to trusted partners who help us provide educational services: payment processors, hosting providers, email distribution services, and analytics platforms.

All third parties with access to data of students in our software engineering and web development programs are required to maintain confidentiality and use the information only for specified purposes. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government authorities of South Africa.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of CodeVerge assets, your data may be transferred to the new owner with the obligation to continue complying with the terms of this Privacy Policy. We will notify you of any such changes.

As a CodeVerge user, you have the right to request access to your personal data stored on our platform. You can view and update your profile information at any time through the account settings on our programming learning website.

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate data or deletion of your information, except for data that we are required to retain by law or to fulfill contractual obligations (for example, records of completed courses and certificates). You can restrict the processing of your data or object to its use for marketing purposes.

You have the right to data portability - to receive a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 30 days in accordance with South African data protection legislation (POPIA).

CodeVerge reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy as our online learning platform evolves and legislative requirements change. We will notify you of significant changes via email or platform notification 30 days before the changes take effect.

By continuing to use our programming, web development, software engineering courses, and other educational services after changes are made, you agree to the updated policy. We recommend regularly checking this page to review the current version.
