Privacy Policy

Before you enroll

• When you join the 2SPIU waitlist we save your first and last name, email address, phone number, the fact that you agreed to receive opening updates, and the time you signed up.
• When a business joins the 4USPI list we save the contact name, business name and email address.
• To stop automated abuse, the waitlist keeps a scrambled version of your network address that we cannot turn back into the address itself.

Your account

• Your name, email address and phone number, and, if you sign in with Google, the name and email Google shares with us.
• Your date of birth, which we ask for to confirm you are 18 or older.
• The six digit sign in codes we email you, which expire quickly.
• Anything you add in Settings: a profile photo and the name you want on your diploma.
• Your theme choice, which is kept in your own browser and never sent to us.

Enrollment and payments

• Which enrollment option you chose, how many student places you purchased, what you paid and when, and the email addresses of students you invite to those places.
• Payment details are handled by Stripe. We receive confirmation that a payment succeeded, the amount and a reference. We never receive or store your full card number.

Your progress

• The receipts you photograph, with the business, date and amount they show.
• The posts you make for a degree, such as a catch with its species, length and weight, a stop on your road trip, or a moment on the beach, and any photos with them.
• Your credits, who confirmed each one and when, your milestones and your completed degrees.

Betty

• What you type to Betty and what she answers. Your messages, with the parts of your record she needs to answer well, are sent to our AI provider to generate the reply.
• Course narration is generated as audio by a voice provider from the course text, not from anything you say.

Referrals

• Your Action Jackson link and code, the enrollments that came through it, the commissions you earned and their status.
• If you set up payouts, the status of the Stripe account you connect. Stripe collects the identity and bank details it needs to pay you, under its own privacy policy.

Pillar Businesses

• The business name, location, description and contact details the owner gives us, and the owner’s account.
• The receipts students upload from that business, the owner’s review decisions and the resulting visit totals.

The store

• What you ordered, what you paid, and the shipping name and address you give us.

Help requests

• The topic and message you send through the Help page, and your email address so we can reply.

Technical records

• Our servers keep ordinary request logs, including network addresses and the pages and actions requested, for 30 days to keep the service running and to investigate problems.
• The sites and the app keep you signed in and remember small preferences using your browser’s own storage. We set no advertising or analytics cookies, and we use no third party trackers.

• To run the university: your account, your enrollment, your credits and your degrees.
• To review what you submit and to confirm or reject credits.
• To pay referral commissions and to fulfil store orders.
• To send you the emails the service needs: sign in codes, confirmations, review decisions, notifications and replies to your help requests.
• To send waitlist members opening updates, which you agreed to when you signed up and can stop at any time.
• To prevent fraud, abuse and fake submissions.
• To keep the financial records that tax and accounting rules require, and to meet other legal obligations.

• Other students see nothing of yours. Your receipts, photos and posts are private submissions, not a feed.
• A Pillar Business owner sees the receipts uploaded from their own business, including the photo and the name on your account. They do not see your contact details, your other receipts or your posts.
• University reviewers and administrators see what you submit and your account details, so that they can review credits, run the program and help you.
• If you enroll through someone’s Action Jackson link, that person sees your name and email address in their referral list, so they know their referral counted. If you later delete your account, they see "Deleted account" instead.
• If someone pays for your student place, you can see who paid for your enrollment, and the person who paid can see the status of the enrollments they purchased.

Companies that help us run the university, each only with what their job needs.

• Google Cloud and Firebase host the sites, the app, the database and your uploads, and handle sign in.
• Stripe processes payments and referral payouts.
• Mailgun delivers our emails.
• Google also provides the Gemini language model behind Betty’s replies.
• ElevenLabs generates the voice for course narration.
• Printify makes and ships store orders and receives the shipping details for them.

A few things have to stay.

• Confirmed credits and a Pillar Business’s visit totals remain as part of the record of the program, without your name attached.
• Payment, commission and order records are kept for as long as tax and accounting rules require, with access limited to the people who need them.
• Server logs expire on their own after 30 days.

• See and correct your details in Settings at any time.
• Delete your account from Settings. No need to ask us.
• Ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete something we hold, through the Help page. We will confirm it is you asking and answer within 45 days.
• Stop opening updates by replying to any of them, or by asking through the Help page. Emails the service itself needs, such as sign in codes and receipt decisions, continue while your account is open.
