Certevia Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 6, 2026

Certevia respects the privacy of our students, customers, website visitors, and partner organizations. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and disclose it, and the choices available to you.

This policy applies to Certevia websites, enrollment and account systems, online learning systems, customer-support services, and related Certevia services. Certevia services are intended for adults.

Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you use Certevia. It may include:

  • Contact and account information, such as your name, email address, username, password, and other information needed to establish or maintain your account.
  • Enrollment information, including the course you select, course language, jurisdiction, filing county or court-related information when required, and other information necessary to enroll you in the appropriate program.
  • Course and educational records, including course access, progress, quiz or assessment activity, completion status, certificate information, and records necessary to document that course requirements were completed.
  • Payment and transaction information, including the course purchased, amount paid, payment status, transaction identifiers, and the payment method or processor selected.
  • Communications, including emails, support requests, and information you provide when communicating with Certevia by email, telephone, or live chat.
  • Website and technical information, such as IP address, browser and device information, referring pages, pages viewed, interactions with our websites, cookie identifiers, and information used for security, analytics, advertising measurement, and site improvement.

How We Use Information

Certevia uses personal information for purposes related to providing and operating our educational services, including to:

  • register students and create learner accounts;
  • provide access to purchased courses and educational materials;
  • administer quizzes, assessments, course requirements, and certificates of completion;
  • maintain records of enrollment, participation, and completion;
  • process and document transactions;
  • communicate important account, enrollment, course, certificate, and support information;
  • respond to questions and provide customer support;
  • verify enrollment or completion when appropriate;
  • meet court, regulatory, contractual, and recordkeeping requirements;
  • prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and other security problems;
  • operate, measure, troubleshoot, and improve our websites and services; and
  • measure the effectiveness of advertising and understand how people find and use Certevia.

Course Records, Certificates, and Verification

Certevia provides educational programs that may be taken to satisfy court, family-law, governmental, educational, or other requirements. Because of the nature of these programs, information about enrollment and completion may sometimes need to be verified or provided to an appropriate third party.

When appropriate in connection with your enrollment, case, certificate, or program requirements, Certevia may provide relevant enrollment, completion, or certificate information to courts or court systems, attorneys, government entities, colleges, universities, adult education providers, or other participating partner providers.

We do not make student course records available to the general public and do not disclose them to unrelated parties simply upon request.

Payment Processing

Certevia currently offers payment processing through third-party payment providers including Authorize.Net and PayPal. When you choose a payment method, payment information needed to complete the transaction is processed through the applicable payment provider.

Certevia does not accept credit or debit card numbers by telephone. Payment processors maintain their own privacy and security practices and may collect information necessary to authorize, process, prevent fraud involving, and document your transaction.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Certevia and service providers we use may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies. Some of these technologies are necessary for our websites and learner systems to function, while others help us understand website use, measure advertising, provide support, or improve the user experience.

Learner Platform Cookies

Our online learning platform uses cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to maintain your session, keep you logged in, and provide course functionality. The learner platform may also use optional convenience cookies, such as remembering your username.

Additional information about cookies used by the learner platform is provided directly on its login page before you sign in.

Analytics and Advertising Measurement

Certevia uses services such as Google Analytics, Google advertising measurement tools, and Microsoft Advertising/Bing Universal Event Tracking to understand how visitors reach and use our websites and to measure advertising performance.

These services may receive information such as your browser or device information, IP address, pages visited, referring information, cookie or advertising identifiers, and information associated with website interactions or conversions. Some measurement technologies may use information supplied during an enrollment or transaction in a privacy-enhanced or secured form to improve conversion measurement.

Website Experience Analytics

Certevia may use Contentsquare, Hotjar, or similar website-experience tools to understand how visitors interact with our websites. These services may collect information about navigation, clicks, scrolling, device characteristics, and other website interactions so that we can identify usability problems and improve the site.

These tools are intended to help us understand website behavior and are not used by Certevia to sell student information.

Live Chat and Customer Support

Certevia uses Tawk.to to provide live-chat and customer-support functions. When you use chat, information you enter into the chat, along with technical information necessary to operate the service, may be processed through that service.

Please do not send payment card numbers or other unnecessary sensitive information through live chat.

Email and Course Communications

Certevia uses email to provide transactional and course-related communications, such as registration confirmations, account information, course notices, certificates, payment information, password assistance, and responses to support requests.

Certevia does not use student enrollment information to operate a promotional marketing-email list. Some communications are necessary to provide the course or maintain your account and therefore are not promotional messages.

Certevia uses Google Workspace and related services for business email and communications.

Service Providers

Certevia uses third-party service providers to help operate our business and provide our services. Depending on the service involved, these providers may process information on our behalf or receive information necessary to perform their function.

Examples include payment processors, website and hosting services, learning-management and account systems, email providers, customer-support services, analytics providers, advertising measurement services, security and fraud-prevention services, and website-experience analytics providers.

We provide or permit access to information only as reasonably necessary for these services, our legitimate business operations, or other purposes described in this policy.

When We May Disclose Information

In addition to the course-related disclosures described above, Certevia may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

  • provide a service you requested;
  • work with a court, attorney, government entity, or participating education provider in connection with your course or certificate;
  • comply with applicable law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other lawful process;
  • investigate fraud, misuse, security incidents, or violations of our terms;
  • protect the rights, safety, property, or security of Certevia, our students, or others; or
  • support a business transaction such as a reorganization, merger, acquisition, or transfer of business assets, subject to applicable law.

We Do Not Sell Personal Information

Certevia does not sell personal information. We do not operate a data-broker business, rent customer lists, or sell student or customer information for money.

Some analytics and advertising technologies described in this policy involve transmitting website, device, identifier, or conversion information to third-party technology providers. Privacy laws in some jurisdictions may use specialized definitions for terms such as "share," "targeted advertising," or similar activities. Those technologies are described in this policy so that you can understand how they are used.

Record Retention

Certevia generally retains official enrollment, course, completion, and certificate records for at least five years. This retention period helps us comply with recordkeeping requirements imposed by Florida and other jurisdictions and enables us to verify course completion when required.

Information may be retained longer when required or permitted by applicable law, court or governmental requirements, contractual obligations, security needs, dispute resolution, or legitimate business and recordkeeping purposes.

Other information is retained for a period appropriate to the purpose for which it was collected and our legal, operational, accounting, security, and recordkeeping needs.

Security

Certevia uses administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

No website, network, database, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users are responsible for protecting their account credentials and should not share passwords with others.

Your Choices and Privacy Requests

You may contact Certevia if you need to update or correct information associated with your account or have a question about your personal information.

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have additional rights concerning access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of certain personal information, or rights concerning certain uses of personal information. Certevia will respond to applicable privacy requests as required by law and may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

Certain information cannot necessarily be deleted upon request. For example, we may be required to retain official enrollment, course, completion, certificate, transaction, or other records to satisfy court, regulatory, legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, or recordkeeping requirements.

You can also control or delete many cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent the learner platform or other account functions from working correctly.

Adult Users

Certevia services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly offer accounts or courses directly to children or knowingly collect personal information from children through our enrollment systems.

Links to Other Websites

Certevia websites may contain links to websites operated by courts, government agencies, colleges, universities, partners, payment providers, or other third parties. Certevia does not control the privacy practices of those independent websites. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies and practices.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, business practices, or legal obligations change. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date shown at the beginning of this policy.
