Build with Brainyl (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is an educational platform focused on AWS cloud engineering insights, production playbooks, and community-driven learning. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information across the website, newsletter, and membership experiences. By using our site or subscribing to any membership service, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

  • IP address and approximate location
  • Browser, device, and operating system details
  • Pages viewed, buttons clicked, and time on site
  • Referring URLs and traffic sources

1.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies help us keep you logged in, remember membership preferences, and capture aggregate analytics. You can manage or disable cookies in your browser, but certain site features (membership portal, checkout) may stop working.

2. How We Use Your Information

We process personal data to:

3. How We Protect Your Information

Security safeguards include HTTPS everywhere, hardened hosting, restricted admin access, PCI-compliant billing via Stripe, audit logging, and monitoring for unusual activity. No system is infallible, but we use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical controls to reduce risk.

4. How Your Information Is Shared

4.1 Service Providers

We share the minimum required data with trusted processors that help run Build with Brainyl:

  • Stripe – subscription management and payment processing
  • Mailgun – email delivery
  • Hosting and observability platforms – infrastructure, storage, and performance insights
  • Optional analytics/performance vendors – aggregated usage trends only

These companies act on our instructions and may not use your data for their own purposes.

We may disclose information if necessary to comply with laws, respond to lawful requests, or protect our rights, property, or member safety.

4.3 Business Changes

If we undergo a merger, acquisition, or restructuring, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the same protections described here.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed to deliver services, maintain accurate records, enforce agreements, and meet legal or tax obligations. When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it unless retention is mandated by law.

6. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the information we hold about you
  • Request corrections to inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your account or personal data (subject to legal limits)
