📚 Educational Platform — Independent & Unofficial

Claude Architect Prep is an independent, third-party educational platform created solely for study and exam-preparation purposes. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected to Anthropic PBC, the creator of Claude AI. All content is intended purely for personal educational use and is not offered for any commercial, business, resale, or professional-advisory purpose. "Claude," "Claude Certified Architect," and related marks are trademarks of Anthropic PBC.

1. Information We Collect

When you sign in with Google, we collect your name, email address, and profile image solely for account creation and identification purposes. We do not collect any additional personal data beyond what Google provides during the OAuth flow.

We also collect payment-related information (order ID, payment ID, amount, coupon used) via Razorpay to confirm and record your purchase. We do not store card numbers or any sensitive payment details — all payment processing is handled entirely by Razorpay.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To authenticate your account via Google OAuth.
  • To grant or revoke access to premium educational content based on payment status.
  • To maintain a record of your transactions for billing and support purposes.
  • To improve the platform and fix technical issues.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Educational Use Only

All data collected is used exclusively to provide access to educational study materials. This platform is not used for any commercial profiling, targeted advertising, behavioural tracking, or business intelligence purposes. Data is never used outside the scope of delivering the exam-preparation service described on this site.

4. Data Storage

Your account data is stored securely in MongoDB Atlas (hosted on AWS). Payment records are stored in our database after Razorpay confirms a successful transaction. All database connections use TLS encryption in transit.

5. Cookies & Sessions

We use secure HTTP-only session cookies to keep you logged in. These cookies are managed by NextAuth and do not track you across other websites. No third-party tracking or advertising cookies are used.

6. Third-Party Services

  • Google OAuth — for authentication.
  • Razorpay — for payment processing.
  • Vercel — for hosting and serving the platform.
  • MongoDB Atlas — for database storage.

Each of these services has its own privacy policy and handles data in accordance with applicable laws.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you wish to delete your account and all associated data, please contact us at the email below and we will process the request within 7 business days.

8. Children's Privacy

This platform is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
