Privacy Policy

Last updated 4 November 2026

CloudMaster Academy (cloudmaster.app) is a free site for studying for AWS certifications. This page says what we collect, why, who helps us run the site, and how you can ask us to change or delete your data.

What we collect

If you create an account:

  • Your name, your email address and the exam you are aiming for.
  • Your password. It is handled by our sign-in provider and stored in hashed form. We never see it or store it in readable form.
  • Your study activity: which topics you completed, your practice answers and attempts, bookmarks, and the cheat sheets you opened.

If you only browse, we do not ask for anything. Like any website, our servers see technical details of each request, such as your IP address and browser type, when they deliver a page.

Cookies and similar technologies

  • Essential. A sign-in session cookie keeps you logged in, and your cookie choice is saved in your browser's storage so we do not ask on every page. The site cannot work for signed-in users without the session cookie.
  • Analytics (only if you accept). We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages and features help learners. It records things like the pages you view, the actions you take on the site (for example finishing a practice exam), your approximate location, and your device and browser. We do not send your name, email or account details to it. It loads only after you click Accept. You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings in the footer.

How we use it

  • To run your account, save your progress and show it back to you.
  • To send the emails the site needs, such as the code that confirms your address and password reset links.
  • To understand how the site is used, so we can improve the courses and fix what is confusing.
  • To keep the site secure and limit abuse, such as fake sign-ups.

We do not sell your personal data.

Who else handles your data

We use a few providers to run the site. They process data for us, or in the case of Google, on their own terms for the services above.

  • Supabase: our database and sign-in service, where accounts and study data are stored.
  • Amazon Web Services: hosts the website.
  • Google: Analytics, only if you accept.
  • Google and LinkedIn: only if you choose to sign in with them. They tell us your name and email address; we never see your password for them.

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own, depending on where these providers run their systems.

Email addresses we accept

To cut down on fake and abandoned sign-ups, accounts made with an email and password are limited to Gmail, Outlook (including Hotmail and Live), Yahoo or adamastech.in addresses. Signing in with Google or LinkedIn works with any address, because they have already confirmed it.

How long we keep it, and your choices

We keep your account and study data for as long as your account exists. You can ask us at any time to:

  • send you a copy of the data we hold about you,
  • correct anything that is wrong, or
  • delete your account and the study data attached to it.

Email devopswithhimanshu@gmail.com from the address on your account and we will act on it. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights under local data protection law, and you can use the same address to exercise them.

You can turn off Google Analytics at any time with Cookie settings in the footer, or clear the site's cookies in your browser.

Children

The site is not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

Changes to this page

If we change how we handle data, we will update this page and the date at the top.
