Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 October 2026 · Applies to valueengineeringhub.com (VAVEhub) · Maintained by Avinash Bhosale

The short version

VAVEhub is a free, non-commercial learning site. We store the minimum needed to run your account and course progress, we never sell or share your data, there is no advertising, and you can delete everything by emailing us.

What we store, and why

• Account details — your name and email address, so you can sign in and your certificate can carry your name. Stored in our database (Supabase, hosted in the EU — West EU, Ireland).
• Course progress — which modules you've completed and when, quiz results, points, and your exam attempts and scores, so your learning syncs across devices.
• Visit details — when you last used the Academy, your browser's time zone and language (this tells us roughly which country you're in; we don't look up your IP address), whether you use a phone or a computer, and the website that first linked you to VAVEhub. Only the site owner can see these. We use them to understand who the course is reaching.
• Course feedback — if you answer "Was this module helpful?", we store your answer, any comment you write, the module and the date. It is anonymous: your name, email and account are not attached.
• Certificates — certificate ID, your name, score and issue date. Certificate records are publicly checkable by ID on the verification page; that is what makes your credential verifiable to employers.
• On your device only — preferences such as theme, voiceover settings and reading progress are kept in your browser's local storage and never leave your device.

Emails

We send you email only for authentication: the 6-digit sign-in and verification codes you request. No marketing email is sent unless you separately subscribe to a newsletter, and any newsletter includes an unsubscribe link.

What we don't do

• No selling, renting or sharing of personal data with third parties
• No advertising or advertising trackers
• No profiling or automated decision-making

Service providers

Your data is processed by Supabase (database & authentication, EU region), our transactional email provider (delivery of sign-in codes), and GitHub Pages (website hosting). Each acts only on our instructions to provide the service. Fonts are served from our own site, so pages make no requests to Google or other font services.

Videos on the homepage and in the courses are hosted on YouTube. Until you press play, the page only loads a preview picture. When you press play, the video loads from YouTube's privacy-enhanced service (youtube-nocookie.com), and Google's privacy policy applies to that video.

Your rights

You can ask at any time to see, correct or permanently delete your account and all associated data (progress and certificates included). Email bhosale.avinash546@gmail.com from your registered address and we'll action it within 30 days. If you are in the UK/EU you also have the right to complain to your data-protection authority.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the "last updated" date above changes with it. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
