We are legally required to report course completions to the Florida DHSMV, New York DMV, or the relevant court or court assistance agency on your behalf. This is a core function of our state-approved courses.

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our company, our students, or the public.

Keep you logged in during your session
Remember your course progress and preferences
Understand how visitors use our site (via analytics tools such as Google Analytics)

Most browsers allow you to control cookie settings. Disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our platform, including course access and progress tracking.

SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted through our website
Secure, access-controlled server environments
