Privacy Policy

Summary

VibeVersity, Inc. ("VibeVersity," "we," "us," or "our") collects the minimum personal data we need to run your account, deliver courses, and keep the service reliable and safe. We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as opt-outs. For any privacy question or to exercise a privacy right, contact our privacy team.

Who we are

VibeVersity, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that provides an AI-training platform at vibeversity.com. The data controller for personal data we collect is VibeVersity, Inc. The “VibeVersity” name and mark are owned by Seeking Sunrise, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and used by VibeVersity, Inc. under license; this licensing arrangement does not affect how your personal data is handled. For GDPR purposes we do not have an EU establishment; EU/UK users may contact our privacy team.

What we collect and why

We collect only the categories described below, for the purposes listed.

• Account data — email, name (optional), password hash (handled by our authentication provider). Used to create and secure your account. Legal basis (EU/UK): contract performance.
• Billing data — billing address, tax status, and payment card details (tokenized by our PCI-DSS-compliant payment processor; we never see the raw card number). Used to charge your subscription and issue receipts. Legal basis: contract performance + legal obligation (tax, fraud).
• Course data— lessons you've started, exercise submissions, grades, completion timestamps. Used to deliver and improve the curriculum. Legal basis: contract performance.
• Usage data — page views, clicks, and product events captured by our product-analytics provider; error payloads captured by our error-monitoring provider. Used to debug and improve the product. Legal basis: legitimate interests (running and improving the service).
• Security telemetry — IP address (truncated and salted-hashed for rate-limit and abuse detection), request headers, bot-protection challenge tokens. Legal basis: legitimate interests (security and fraud prevention).
• Communications — emails you send us and replies from us, retained for 2 years for continuity and dispute resolution. Legal basis: legitimate interests.

How we use AI on your data

We do not train third-party AI models on your submitted exercises, code, or messages. Submitted content is not shared with model providers for training purposes. When we process your content with a model vendor (e.g. to grade an exercise), we use vendor APIs with training opt-out enabled and retention configured to the minimum offered by that vendor. If this changes, we will update this policy and notify active customers at least 14 days before the change takes effect.

Categories of recipients (sub-processors)

We share personal data only with the categories of service providers below, each acting under contract on our instructions (our "sub-processors"). To protect the security of our systems, we describe them by function rather than by name. A current list of our named sub-processors is available to you on request — just contact us. We review this list at least annually and update it before a new category of recipient goes live.

International transfers

VibeVersity is operated from the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. Personal data of EU/UK users is transferred under the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK Addendum) built into our vendor agreements. To request a copy of the clauses, contact our privacy team.

Your rights

Everyone can:

• Access a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Delete your data (subject to narrow exceptions for legal, accounting, and fraud-prevention records we must retain).
• Export your data in a portable format.
• Object to, or restrict, specific processing activities.
• Withdraw consent (where we rely on consent).

California residents have additional rights under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA: to know the categories we collect, to delete, to correct, and (in principle) to opt out of sale or sharing. VibeVersity does not sell personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA, so there is nothing to opt out of — but you may still submit a request and we will record your preference. We honor GPC signals as an opt-out. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

EU/UK residents have the rights listed above under the GDPR and UK GDPR, plus the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

To exercise any right, contact our privacy team. We may need to verify your identity before processing access, correction, deletion, or portability requests. Opt-out requests do not require identity verification beyond a working email address. We respond within 45 calendar days (CCPA/CPRA: extendable once by 45 days with notice; opt-out: within 15 business days) and never charge a fee unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, subject to verification.

Cookies and tracking

We use a small set of first-party cookies required to keep you signed in, persist your theme, and remember your consent preferences. Optional product analytics and session replay are off by default and only enabled if you opt in via the cookie banner. We honor the Sec-GPC Global Privacy Control header as an opt-out of analytics and any future sale or sharing.

Retention

• Account + course data — while your account is active, and for 12 months after deletion for fraud and chargeback resolution, unless legal hold requires longer.
• Billing records — 7 years (US tax retention).
• Security logs (truncated IPs, auth events) — at least 12 months, then aggregated.
• Support emails — 2 years.

Security

We follow industry-standard practices for an early-stage SaaS: encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest, principle-of- least-privilege access for personnel, mandatory multi-factor authentication for production access, tamper-evident audit logging of administrative actions, and centralized encrypted secrets management. Payment card data is handled exclusively by our PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor; we never see or store raw card numbers. We do not publish vendor-specific control names or infrastructure regions on this page; security researchers and enterprise procurement teams can request a security overview by contacting us.

Children & minors

The Service is intended for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, and the Service is not directed to children or teenagers. If you believe a person under 18 has created an account or provided us data, contact our privacy team and we will terminate the account and delete associated data. If we discover an account belongs to a user under 18, we will terminate and delete it without notice. This restriction applies to free accounts and paid subscriptions alike.

Region-restricted launch waitlists

We are not yet open in the European Union/EEA, United Kingdom, or mainland China. Visitors from those regions may opt in to a launch-notification waitlist by entering their email and checking a consent box on our onboarding page.

Lawful basis. We process your email under your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a) for EU/EEA visitors; UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a) for UK visitors; PIPL Article 13(1) for mainland China visitors).

Purpose and limit. We use your email to send you up to three emails related to the opening of your region: one notification when your region opens for customers, and up to two follow-up messages about joining VibeVersity at that point. We will not send general marketing emails, share your email with third parties, or use it beyond this scope. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link.

Withdrawal of consent. You may withdraw consent and request deletion at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal is processed within 30 days of receipt.

Retention. We retain your email until you withdraw consent OR until 30 days after the final email in the launch sequence (whichever comes first), at which point we delete it from the waitlist.

Text messages (SMS)

If you give us a mobile number, we may send you text messages about your account and the services you have asked for — for example security and verification codes, account and course notifications, support replies, and, where you have opted in, occasional marketing about new courses, promotions, and offers. We collect a mobile number only when you give it to us, and we do not buy mobile numbers or obtain them from third parties.

We do not sell or share mobile numbers. We do not sell, rent, or share mobile numbers or SMS opt-in data with third parties, affiliates, or lead generators for marketing or promotional purposes. A number is disclosed only to our messaging provider, and only to deliver the messages you have asked for. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any purchase.

Frequency and rates. Message frequency varies with your account activity and the messages you opt into. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to opt out at any time, or HELP for help. Opting out of texts does not affect your account or your ability to use the service.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify active customers by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
