Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Overview

CyberPath ("we", "us", or "our") operates this website as a free study companion for the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam. This policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, the third parties involved, and the choices you have. By using CyberPath you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

CyberPath stores your study progress, avatar selection, and username locally in your browser using IndexedDB. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. We do not ask for or collect your name, email address, or payment information.

As with most websites, our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, and referring page) for security and operational purposes. In addition, the third-party services described below — including our advertising partner, Google — may automatically collect information through cookies and similar technologies.

How We Use Your Data

Locally stored progress data powers the study tracker and exam-history features within the app. Server logs are used to operate and secure the site. We do not sell your personal information. Information collected by our advertising and embedded-media partners is governed by their own privacy policies, linked below.

Advertising & Google AdSense

CyberPath uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. 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 visit to CyberPath and/or other sites on the internet.
  • Third-party vendors and ad networks may also use cookies to serve ads on this site.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • You may opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
  • For details on how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see Google's partner-sites policy.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. CyberPath's own features rely mainly on local browser storage rather than cookies, but the following cookies may be set:

  • Essential cookies — required for the Cloudflare network and basic site security.
  • Advertising cookies — set by Google and its partners to serve and measure ads.
  • Embedded-media cookies — set by YouTube when you play the optional ambient study sounds.

You can disable or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may stop working correctly.

Your Consent Choices (EU, UK & Switzerland)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we use a Google-certified consent management platform to ask for your consent before storing or reading non-essential cookies, including those used for personalized advertising. You may change or withdraw your consent at any time through the privacy settings presented on the site.

Third-Party Services

CyberPath relies on the following third parties, each governed by its own privacy policy:

Data Security

All data transmitted between your browser and CyberPath is encrypted using TLS. Progress stored in IndexedDB is not encrypted at rest within the browser, so you should not store sensitive information in it.

Your Rights

You can clear all locally stored data at any time through your browser settings or the "Delete Profile" option within the app. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, and to opt out of personalized advertising using the links in the Advertising section above.

Children's Privacy

CyberPath is intended for a general audience preparing for a professional certification and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
