This page explains what we collect when you visit this site or buy the program, why, and who processes it for us.
| Purpose | Basis |
|---|---|
| Deliver your access, send your receipts and service emails | Performance of our contract with you |
| Remind you of an order you started but did not finish, with a few emails you can stop in one click | Legitimate interest; the unsubscribe link in each email ends it |
| Handle refunds, disputes and support requests | Contract and legal obligations |
| Keep accounting records | Legal obligation |
| Show you where you left off, and see where students get stuck so we can improve the program | Performance of our contract with you |
| Run your conversations with Sasha, keep them so you can pick up where you left off, and let you hear how your pronunciation has changed | Performance of our contract with you |
| Tell waitlist members when free content opens, and tell them about the program | Consent, given when joining; withdraw it anytime |
| Send you the free ebook you asked for, then a series of emails about learning Russian and the program | Consent, given when you ask for the ebook; one click in any email stops them |
| Watch the video you send to The Russian Challenge and unlock the rest of the free program; share it publicly only if you ticked the box | Consent, given when you send it; ask us anytime to delete it |
| Measure and improve our advertising | Consent, where required, otherwise legitimate interest |
We do not sell your data. Apart from a few reminders about an order you started, we only send marketing emails you asked for, and each of them can be stopped in one click.
| Service | Role |
|---|---|
| Stripe | Payments, subscriptions, fraud prevention |
| Resend | Emails (access, receipts, reminders, and the emails you signed up for) |
| Vercel | Hosting and server logs |
| Supabase | Database and file storage (progress, Sasha conversations and voice recordings), hosted in the EU |
| Anthropic | The AI model behind Sasha: receives the text of your conversation to write its replies. It does not use it to train its models. |
| Meta and TikTok | Advertising measurement, only when their pixels are enabled; for Meta, purchases and sign-ups are also reported from our server (Conversions API) |
Some of these providers are established in the United States; transfers rely on their standard contractual clauses.
Order and billing records: as long as accounting law requires (typically ten years). Account and access data, including your progress and your Sasha conversations and recordings: while your access is active. Advertising event data: according to each platform's own retention, generally up to two years.
The site stores a small amount of data in your browser to remember your order between the checkout and the confirmation page, and to keep the launch countdown consistent between visits. Advertising pixels, when enabled, set their own cookies. Blocking them does not prevent you from buying or using the program.
You can ask for a copy of your data, its correction or its deletion, object to advertising measurement, or withdraw a consent you gave. Write to our support address and we answer within 30 days. Deleting your data means losing access to the program; billing records we are legally required to keep are the exception.
If you are in the EU or the UK you may also complain to your local data protection authority. If you are a California resident, you have the right to know, delete and opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, which we do not do.
This program is sold to adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
Any privacy question: our support address.
