Course websites combine a marketing funnel with a members-only product, and both halves collect student data. The public side usually runs Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel to track enrollment campaigns, with Hotjar recording how visitors move through the sales page. Free lead magnets feed Mailchimp or Klaviyo sequences. Intercom or Crisp chat answers pre-enrollment questions and identifies returning visitors.
Behind the paywall, account registration stores names, emails, passwords and progress records. Stripe or PayPal processes tuition, installment plans and refunds. Lessons are delivered through Vimeo or YouTube embeds, which set cookies and record watch time from their own domains. Discussion boards, assignments and reviews are user-generated content that raises questions about licensing and moderation, and course sites that admit students under 13 face additional obligations under COPPA.
Platforms such as Teachable, Thinkific and Kajabi provide hosting but leave the legal pages to you, and a self-hosted LMS on WordPress provides nothing at all. VerifiedPrivacy scans your course site, identifies the analytics, video, chat and payment services present, and generates a Privacy Policy, Terms of Service and Cookie Policy with sections for accounts, payments, refunds and user content. Enter your course website below to see what it collects, for free.
Frequently asked questions
Do course platforms like Teachable or Kajabi provide a privacy policy?
They publish policies covering their own role as the platform and typically give you a blank legal page to fill in. The disclosures about your pixels, email sequences, chat widget and payment terms are yours to write. VerifiedPrivacy scans your course site on its custom domain, detects those services and generates the documents from a clause library. Have an attorney review them before students enroll.
Should my Terms cover refunds for courses?
Digital course refunds are a frequent source of disputes and chargebacks, and payment processors expect a published policy. The questionnaire lets you choose no refunds, 14 days, 30 days or custom wording, and the Terms of Service includes a matching section along with license terms for course materials, account rules and acceptable use. Some jurisdictions limit how restrictive digital refund terms can be, so confirm with counsel.
Do Vimeo and YouTube embeds need to be disclosed?
Yes. Both providers set cookies and collect viewing data from their own domains when a lesson page loads, and YouTube's standard embed does so even before play. When the scan detects either service, the generated Cookie Policy lists it with its category and purpose and the Privacy Policy names the provider. Vimeo's privacy-focused embed settings can reduce what is collected but not eliminate the need to disclose.
What if students are under 13?
Courses directed at children under 13 in the US fall under COPPA, which requires verifiable parental consent and notice content that this clause library does not attempt to cover. Answering yes to the under-13 question shows a warning on the preview and lowers the coverage score to reflect the gap. Work with an attorney experienced in children's privacy before enrolling minors.
Can students' comments and reviews be covered?
When you indicate that users can post content, the Terms of Service adds a user-generated content section covering the license you receive, prohibited content and your right to moderate or remove posts, and the Privacy Policy explains that posted content and associated names may be visible to other students. Adjust the license language with your attorney if you plan to reuse testimonials in marketing.
