  • Operate and improve our sites, apps, and services.
  • Process course enrollments, manage your account, and deliver purchased content.
  • Track your learning progress, issue certificates of completion, and personalize your course experience.
  • Process payments and send transaction confirmations and receipts.
  • Respond to inquiries and deliver requested services.

Cookies & Analytics (Cookie Policy)

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate, secure, and improve our Services. This section serves as our Cookie Policy.

What are cookies? Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help us recognize your device, remember preferences, and understand how you interact with our site.

Types of cookies we use:

  • Essential cookies: Required for core functionality such as authentication, security, and session management. These cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g., pages visited, time on site). We use services such as Google Analytics. Data is aggregated and anonymized where possible.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences (e.g., language, region) to provide a more personalized experience.
  • Advertising / targeting cookies: Used to deliver relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness. We may use Meta Pixel or similar technologies.

Third-party cookies: Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages (e.g., embedded videos, analytics providers, payment processors). We do not control these cookies; please refer to the respective third-party privacy policies.

Managing your preferences: You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you before a cookie is stored. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality. Where required by law, we display a cookie consent banner on your first visit.

Do Not Track: Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no industry standard for how to respond to these signals, so we do not currently alter our practices when we receive one.

Sharing & Service Providers

We share information with vendors who provide hosting, analytics, communications, payments, security, or marketing. They may only use information as instructed by us and must protect it appropriately. We may disclose information to comply with law or protect rights and safety.

Payment processing. We use third-party payment processors (such as Stripe) to handle all payment transactions. When you make a purchase, your payment information is transmitted directly to the processor and is subject to their privacy policy and security standards (including PCI-DSS compliance). The OCM Center does not have access to your full credit card number or payment credentials at any time.

Course platform services. We may share limited information (such as enrollment status and progress data) with third-party services that help us deliver, host, or improve our course content and learning experience.

Data Retention

We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described here and to meet legal requirements. Then we delete or de-identify it.

Your U.S. State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state (e.g., California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your information, and to opt out of certain processing such as the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information or targeted advertising.

To exercise these rights or to learn more, visit State Privacy Rights. To opt out of sale/sharing or targeted advertising where applicable, go to Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.

Note: California's CCPA/CPRA applies to certain businesses based on thresholds like revenue or data volume. Other states (e.g., CO, VA, CT) have similar laws with differing scopes and thresholds.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No method is 100% secure; contact us if you suspect unauthorized activity.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed to children as defined by applicable law, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy periodically. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
