How we protect your privacy

In order to provide you with the best possible platform for online course creation we collect and process quite a bit of information. The purpose of this privacy policy is to help you better understand how we store, collect, and process your personal data. This policy is meant to help you understand more about why we collect and use your data whether you’re a Grow Remote customer or a student/subscriber to a Grow Remote site who uses the Grow Remote application or services (together known as, “The Services”), a participant in Grow Remote’s partner or affiliate program, or even if you’re just visiting the Grow Remote website.
