Data controller

Pierre Cazaban EI, 74 rue du Mas de Caze, 34090 Montpellier, France (“The AI Certification”), reachable at the-ai-certification.com/support. The AI Certification has not appointed a data protection officer; this address handles every question about your data.

The data we use

Registration: first and last name, email, phone if you give it, school or organization, chosen program and cohort, language.
Payment: amount, currency, status and payment reference. Card details are entered with Stripe and never sent to us.
Account: email, password (stored only as an irreversible hash), sign-in dates.
Learning: lessons completed, exercise answers, quiz and exam results, certificate issued.
Ambassadors: schools held, commissions, account holder and IBAN for payouts.
Contact and waitlist: name, email, organization and message sent through the forms.
Emails sent: a copy of the emails the site sends you (confirmation, password).

Why, and on what legal basis

Performing your order (contract): creating your account, giving you access to lessons, grading the exam, issuing the certificate, sending necessary emails.
Legal obligations: invoicing and accounting.
Legitimate interest: site security, preventing exam fraud, answering contact requests, improving programs from statistics.
Consent: emails about future programs, only if you ticked the box. You can withdraw it any time.

We never sell your data and do not share it with your school or employer.

Who can see it

The AI Certification team, to manage registrations and support.
Our providers, only for their task: the site and database host (Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, United States), Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (payments, Ireland) and our email delivery service.
Authorities, when the law requires it.

Some providers may process data outside the European Union, notably in the United States. These transfers rely on the safeguards provided by the GDPR (European Commission standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision).

How long we keep it

Account and learning data: during your access, then 3 years after your last activity.
Certificate: as long as it must remain verifiable, unless you ask us to delete it.
Accounting records (payments): 10 years, as required by law.
Unpaid registrations, waitlist and contact requests: 3 years at most.

Cookies

The site only uses cookies it needs to work: a session cookie that keeps you signed in and a cookie that shows the “My space” button. No advertising or analytics cookies, so no consent banner is needed.

Your rights

You can access, correct or delete your data, restrict or object to its use, withdraw your consent and get a copy in a readable format. Write to the-ai-certification.com/support. We answer within one month.

If you think your rights are not respected, you can complain to the French data protection authority, the CNIL (cnil.fr), or to the authority of your country.

Age

The programs are for people aged 18 or over.
