Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2, 2026

The Short Version

ShipReal (shipreal.dev) does not store or sell your personal information. We have no accounts, no sign-up forms, and no databases of student data. The course itself is hosted by third-party learning platforms, our school on Teachable, and it keeps information about you, including your name. Through their dashboards we can see some of it too; we just never store it ourselves. Checkout runs through a payment provider, which keeps its own billing records. What you share with any of them is your choice.

What We Keep

Nothing personal. shipreal.dev is a static website. Inside the school's instructor dashboard we do see student information, such as display names, enrollments, progress, and completion, but that data lives in the school and we do not export or store it in systems of our own. Our payment providers show us order records (name, billing country, email, and the amount paid) so we can issue invoices and refunds, and that data stays in their systems too. If you email us directly (for example about corporate plans), we see your email like any recipient would; we don't add it to any list or share it.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics and PostHog to understand how visitors use this website: which pages are viewed, which sections and links are clicked, and roughly where traffic comes from. Neither is used to identify you: we send them no name, no email address and nothing you type. You can block analytics with any standard content blocker or your browser's settings, and the site works fine without it. Google's own privacy policy applies to data processed by Google Analytics; PostHog processes data on our behalf, and its servers are in the United States.

How Pages Are Used

PostHog also records how pages are used so we can find what confuses people and fix it: what was on screen, what was clicked, where you scrolled. No video is captured and neither your camera nor your microphone is touched. It cannot capture what you type (the only field on this site is the language search box), and it cannot see inside the payment window, so it never holds card or billing details. Nothing in it is linked to a name or an email address, because we hold neither. Any content blocker stops it. Where we ask for consent, nothing is recorded unless you agree; if you would like a recording of your own visit deleted, write to us at the address below.

Advertising

When we run paid campaigns on X (formerly Twitter), this site carries the X advertising pixel so we can tell which ads led to a visit and which led to a purchase. The pixel reports page views and, if you buy, the fact and the amount of that purchase. It does not receive your name or your email address from us. X may match the visit to your X account if you have one, and may use it to show you ads; X's own privacy policy governs what it does with that data. The same content blockers and browser settings that stop analytics stop this too, and nothing on the site depends on it.

Payments

We do not process payments ourselves and we never see or store your card details. When you enroll, checkout is handled by a payment provider, and that provider may collect and store information needed to take the payment and meet its own legal obligations: your name, email address, billing address and country, tax identifiers where required, the payment method details you enter, and the resulting invoice and transaction records. Which provider handles your purchase depends on where you are:

• Paddle: acts as merchant of record for purchases outside Israel and handles checkout, payment, sales tax and VAT, invoicing, and refunds under its own privacy policy.
• Morning (GreenInvoice): handles checkout and issues tax invoices and receipts for purchases from Israel, as required by Israeli law.
• Grow: may process the card transaction itself behind the Morning payment link.

To decide which of these to show you, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) tells our server the country your request arrived from, which it derives from your IP address. That country is used only to pick the payment route, is not stored, and is not linked to you.

A version of this course listed on a third-party marketplace is sold and billed by that marketplace under its own payment terms, not by any of the above.

The Schools (Course Platforms)

When you watch or enroll in the course, you do so on a third-party platform, and that platform, not ShipReal, collects and stores your data under its own privacy policy:

• Teachable: your account, name, purchase, and progress data are governed by Teachable's privacy policy.

These platforms may store your student name and display it on things like certificates of completion. You choose what you share with them: most let you use any display name you like, control what appears on your profile, and request deletion of your account and data directly through their support channels.

What the Schools Share With Us

Course platforms show instructors aggregated statistics (enrollments, completion rates, reviews) and, depending on the platform, per-student information such as display name, progress, and completion. We see that data inside their dashboards and use it only to improve the course. We never export it into systems of our own, and we never sell or share it.

Corporate Plans

Corporate and team plans include progress tracking and dashboards by design. That is disclosed to and agreed by your employer, and the details (what is tracked, who sees it, where it's stored) are defined in the corporate agreement. If your company enrolls you, ask them for that agreement; it governs your data, not this policy.

Cookies and Your Choice

This site stores two things of its own in your browser and neither ever leaves it: your light/dark preference, and, where we ask, your answer, so we do not ask twice and a refusal is honoured. Google Analytics, PostHog and the X advertising pixel set identifiers of their own. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal we load no advertising pixel, anywhere. Opening the checkout lets the payment provider set what it needs to take the payment and detect fraud.

In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Israel, Brazil, Canada, South Korea, China and Saudi Arabia we ask before any of that loads, and we ask once you have read some of the page rather than the moment you arrive. Refusing is one click, exactly as easy as agreeing, and costs you nothing here. Everywhere else analytics loads on arrival and any content blocker stops it.

Your Rights

Since we store no personal data about you, requests to access, correct, or delete data should be directed to whoever holds it: the school where you study (Teachable), or the marketplace you bought from, or the payment provider that billed you (Paddle or Morning/Grow). Billing records are usually kept for a period set by tax law, which limits what any provider can delete on request. If you believe we hold anything about you, for example an email thread, write to us and we'll delete it.
