Privacy at StealCourse

Browsing and search

Search terms and selected filters appear in the page address and are sent to our server to retrieve matching courses. Avoid entering personal or sensitive information. Our DigitalOcean hosting infrastructure processes technical request information, such as network and browser details, to deliver, protect and troubleshoot the website.

Saved courses and comparisons

Save and Compare use this browser’s local storage. Named shortlist titles, course identifiers, private notes and planned, in-progress or completed states stay on this device; they are not attached to a StealCourse account or synchronised across devices. Saving is limited to 100 courses, 10 named lists and comparison to four.

Use Save again to remove an item, delete a named list to move its courses back to My shortlist, or Clear in the comparison bar to clear the current comparison. Clearing this website’s browser data removes the lists, notes, statuses and comparison. Private browsing or unavailable storage can prevent choices from surviving a visit.

Opening a comparison sends its selected identifiers to the server in the page address. Anyone receiving a shared comparison address can view those selected courses. Saved choices remain browser-local.

Animation preferences

We respect your device’s reduced-motion setting. The homepage provider logo strip has its own pause control for the current visit. If you previously saved a site-wide pause preference in this browser, we continue to respect it; clearing this website’s browser data resets that earlier preference.

Cookies, fonts and images

The public catalogue does not currently use advertising trackers or visitor analytics. Administrative WordPress sign-in uses authentication cookies and is separate from browsing. Fonts and decorative images are served with the site rather than loaded from a third-party advertising or font service.

Administrator login security

For WordPress password sign-in, short-lived counters help limit repeated unsuccessful attempts. These counters store salted hashes of the client network and account input, rather than raw IP addresses, usernames or passwords. They expire within 15 minutes and are removed during hourly maintenance. Administrators who enrol a second factor also have private authenticator and recovery settings stored with their WordPress account.

Messages to support

If you email support@stealcourse.com, your email service and the receiving mail service process that message. Include only the information needed to understand your question. Do not send account passwords, payment-card details or access codes.

Provider websites

Course source links go directly to the provider. Marked affiliate links may first pass through an affiliate network such as PartnerStack. That network and the destination may process click information and use cookies or other identifiers to attribute purchases under their own privacy and consent policies. We do not embed their tracking scripts or load their links automatically; you choose whether to follow a marked link. Following one takes you to a separate website with its own privacy, account and enrolment terms. StealCourse does not receive your provider password or payment information through these links.

Questions about your information

Contact support@stealcourse.com with a description of your interaction and privacy question. Browser-local saved choices can be removed through the controls described above or your browser’s site-data settings.
