AI-Assisted Learning and Your Data

The DevOps Basics Program is an AI-assisted program that teaches you how to leverage AI in your work. As part of the curriculum, you will be provided with and taught to use AI-powered tools like Cursor.

When you use these AI tools, the data you input (such as code, queries, or prompts) may be processed by the third-party AI service. We encourage you to be mindful of the information you share and to avoid inputting personal, sensitive, or proprietary data into these tools. We recommend you review the privacy policy of any third-party AI tool we provide before use.

How We Protect Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information:

• Encryption in transit: We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) when transmitting data.
• Encryption at rest: We use Digital Ocean's default encryption at rest for stored data.

Important: We never sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

While we take reasonable steps to secure your information, no security measures are perfect. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
