3. Payments and Special Programs
We offer free membership and learning access to all users.
For certain special programs, private tutoring, or premium services, payment arrangements are handled individually and securely.
We do not strictly use PayPal or Stripe for payment processing.
Instead, we negotiate with each customer to determine the most suitable and accessible payment method, recognizing that some users may not have access to debit or credit cards.
Alternative and safe payment methods (such as international money transfer or local options) are agreed upon with the user’s full consent before any transaction occurs.
We do not store financial or payment details on our servers. Transaction information is handled only for record-keeping and support purposes in compliance with applicable data protection standards.

Password reset emails may include your IP address for security verification.
