Privacy policy
Effective date: 11 November 2026
APlus Courses ("we", "us") runs apluscourses.com (the "site"), a free guide to online courses. This policy says what personal information we collect, why, who handles it and the choices you have.
1. Who we are
The site is operated by Mohammed Gouse Nihal, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India. For anything about your data, email [email protected]. This address is also our grievance contact under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
2. What we collect
The site has no accounts, no analytics, no ads and no cookies of its own today. We collect very little:
- Your email address, if you sign up. If you ask to hear when the site launches, we store the address you give us, when you signed up and whether you have confirmed it.
- Technical data. When you load a page, our hosting and security providers process your IP address, your browser and device type and the page you asked for, to deliver the page and to block abuse. When you submit the sign-up form, we also keep a short-lived count of submissions from your IP address.
- Email you send us. If you write to us, we keep your message and address so we can reply.
We will update this policy before we add anything that collects more, such as visitor statistics, ads or accounts.
3. How we use it
- To show you the site and keep it secure.
- To send the email you asked for: one message to confirm your address, and news of the launch once you have confirmed. Every later email will have a link to unsubscribe.
- To answer your email.
- To meet legal obligations.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we rely on your consent for the emails you sign up for, and on our legitimate interests in running a secure website and answering the people who write to us.
4. Links to other sites
The site links to course providers, and some of those links are affiliate links. When you follow a link, the provider's own privacy policy applies, and the provider may record that you arrived from APlus Courses.
5. Who handles your information
We do not sell your personal information. These providers help us run the site:
- Cloudflare: domain, content delivery and protection from abuse (global).
- OVHcloud: the server the site runs on (Canada).
- Amazon Web Services: sending the emails you sign up for (United States).
- Google: the mailbox that receives email you send us (global).
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.
6. International transfers
We are based in India and our providers operate in Canada, the United States and elsewhere, so your information may be processed outside your country. Where the law requires safeguards, we rely on our providers' standard ones, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. How long we keep it
- Your email address: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. An address that is never confirmed is deleted after 90 days.
- Technical data: for as long as our providers keep their logs, which is days to weeks.
- Sign-up counts by IP address: about an hour.
- Email: for as long as we need it to deal with your message, or until you ask us to delete it.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to see, correct, delete or export your personal information, to object to how we use it, and to complain to your data protection authority. To use any of these rights, email [email protected]. We may need to confirm who you are first.
9. Children
The site is not meant for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us personal information, tell us and we will delete it.
10. Changes
When we change this policy, we change the effective date at the top of the page.
