Privacy Policy
We don't collect personal information. There are no accounts for the public course, no forms asking who you are, and your progress lives in your browser — not on our servers. We don't have servers. This page explains what little there is to explain.
Who we are
Training Grounds (traininggrounds.co) is operated by Capital Technologies LLC. If anything in this policy is unclear — or you just want to check something — email caleb.dre@gmail.com.
What we don't collect
No names, no email addresses, no payment information. There's no registration, so we never ask who you are — no sign-up wall, no newsletter, no account creation. No tracking cookies. No ads. And we never sell or share personal data — there's nothing to sell, because we never collected it.
What stays in your browser
The site saves its working state to localStorage on your device, and only there: your lesson progress, your reading position, a few small UI preferences, and the link or note you record when you complete a project. All of it is saved to your browser, never sent to us or anyone else. Two honest consequences of that design: your progress won't follow you to a different browser or device, and if you clear your browser data it's gone for good — we couldn't recover it, because we never had it.
Analytics
The site uses Vercel Web Analytics: anonymized, cookie-free page-view counts. It tells us which pages get read, when, from what country, and on what kind of device — and that's it. No cross-site tracking, no individual profiles. We only ever see aggregates, like "this lesson got 40 views this week."
Hosting
The site is served by Vercel. Like any web host, its infrastructure briefly processes standard request data — IP addresses, for example — in server logs to deliver pages and protect against abuse. That's a property of the web itself, not something we added.
For mentees
Mentee content — lessons and meeting notes — is delivered as an encrypted bundle and decrypted only in your browser, with your passphrase. The passphrase never leaves your device; decryption happens right in the browser. Your progress and project records follow the same local-only rules as everyone else's. And signing in clears the previous user's local state, so accounts stay separate on a shared machine.
Children
Training Grounds is general-audience educational content. We collect no personal information from anyone — children included.
Changes
If this policy changes, the update appears on this page with a new date at the top. No pop-ups, no email — we don't have your email.
