Privacy Policy

At California Bitcoin, your privacy is a foundational principle, not an afterthought.

We believe that education requires trust. This policy outlines how we handle the minimal data we collect when you use our dashboard or subscribe to our "Tutor" services.

Core Data Philosophy

We operate on a "Minimum Viable Data" policy. We do not sell your data. We do not track your activity across other websites. We only collect what is strictly necessary to provide our educational progression.

1. Data We Collect

When you interact with the Lab, we may collect:

  • Account Information: Name and email address used for login and educational updates.
  • Usage Data: Which steps of the curriculum you have completed to save your progress.
  • Payment Data: Handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your credit card numbers.
  • Technical Data: IP address and browser type for security and anti-fraud purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data strictly to:

  • Deliver your personalized Bitcoin learning dashboard.
  • Process your monthly subscription.
  • Send curriculum updates or requested "Tutor" notifications.
  • Comply with California legal and tax requirements.

3. Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies to keep you logged into your dashboard. We use Google Analytics with anonymized IP settings to understand which lessons are most popular, helping us improve the curriculum.

4. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

As a California-based organization, we respect your rights to:

  • The Right to Know: Request a list of the data we have about you.
  • The Right to Delete: Request that we erase your account and all associated progress data.
  • The Right to Opt-Out: Though we don't sell data, you have the right to limit the use of your sensitive personal information.

5. Third-Party Services

The Lab integrates with trusted third parties to function. These include Stripe (Payments), Google Analytics (Metrics), and Kit (Transactional Emails). Each has its own privacy policy which governs their data handling.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) for all data in transit. While no system is 100% secure, we take proactive steps to safeguard your educational records from unauthorized access.
