Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026.

This Privacy Policy explains how CertNorth ("we", "us") handles information when you visit our website. We keep data collection to a minimum and we do not sell your personal information.

Information we collect

CertNorth is a content website. You do not need to create an account or submit personal information to read our guides. If you contact us by email, we receive only the information you choose to share (such as your name and email address), solely to reply to you.

Cookies and similar technologies

Like most websites, CertNorth and its partners may use cookies — small files stored on your device — to remember preferences (such as light or dark theme) and to measure and improve the site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We may display ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info/choices.

Affiliate links

Some of our certification and course articles contain affiliate links. If you click one and sign up or buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships never change our rankings or verdicts — when we tell you to skip something, that stays true whether or not there is a commission attached.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site — for example, which guides are most read. This data is not used to identify you personally.

External links

Our articles link to third-party websites (such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, certification bodies, and course providers). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please review their own policies.

Children's privacy

CertNorth is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To make a request, contact us at the address below.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
