Privacy policy

This policy describes what Inference Academy collects. It is a plain-language template that must be reviewed and adapted to your jurisdiction and business before you rely on it.
What stays in your browser
- Learning progress and quiz scores are stored in your browser's local storage. We do not receive them.
- Theme preference and playground usage count are also stored locally.
- Tools and the playground run on your device. Prompts you type into the playground are processed by a model running in your browser and are not sent to our servers. To run, the playground downloads model files and runtime code from third-party hosts (for example Hugging Face and GitHub); those hosts see your IP address and the files you request.
Cookies
We set one strictly necessary, signed, HTTP-only cookie (ia_session) only after you activate Pro, to remember your plan. It contains no personal data beyond a subscription/customer identifier when you pay by subscription.
Payments
Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store card numbers. Stripe's own privacy policy governs the data you give them at checkout.
Newsletter
If enabled, the email address you submit is sent to our newsletter provider (Buttondown) to send you updates. You can unsubscribe from any email.
Analytics
If enabled, we use Plausible, a cookie-less, privacy-friendly analytics service that does not track individuals across sites.
Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct or delete your data. Add a contact address via NEXT_PUBLIC_CONTACT_EMAIL.
