• Marketing: Sharing information about new courses, special offers, and educational resources that match your interests (you can opt out anytime).

We don't sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information in these specific situations:

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@sharpnodehub.com. We'll respond within 30 days and verify your identity before processing your request.

Protecting your information is a top priority. We implement multiple layers of security to safeguard your personal and educational data:

While we implement industry-standard security measures, no online platform can guarantee complete security. We encourage you to use strong passwords and report any suspicious account activity immediately.

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide our services and meet legal obligations:
