Content and license

Lessons are derived from Wikipedia articles and shared, like them, under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license. Each lesson links to the article and revision it comes from. Coursitout is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Comments

Signed-in learners can comment under lessons. Comments must stay on topic and respectful: no insults, hate, harassment, sexual content, threats, advertising, links or personal details. Before appearing, each comment is checked automatically (simple rules, then an AI model from Anthropic, which receives only the comment's text and the lesson's title); when in doubt, it is held until a person reviews it. The author sees why a comment was not published.

Anyone signed in can report a comment; several reports hide it until it is reviewed. To report illegal content or contest a decision, write to the contact address above. We remove illegal content promptly and may block accounts that break these rules. Authors remain responsible for what they write.

Your data

Without an account, nothing about you is sent to us: your lesson results stay in your browser (its “local storage”), and you can erase them by clearing this site's data.

With an account, we keep your email address (to sign you in), a display name (by default the part of your email before the @, which you can change) and your lesson results (score, date and number of plays, to show your progress on any device). That's all: no ads, no tracking across sites, and nothing is sold or shared. Problem reports and comments you send from a lesson, and suggestions sent with the 💡 button (with the page you were on), are linked to your account, and comments show your display name. Suggestions sent while signed out are anonymous.

They are stored by Supabase, our database and sign-in provider; sign-in emails, and the review reminders you can turn on from your account (at most one every two days, with a link to stop them), are sent through Brevo. We keep your data until you delete your account, which you can do at any time from your account page: it erases everything right away. The legal basis is providing the service you ask for (GDPR, art. 6(1)(b)).

Coursitout Plus: payments are handled by Stripe, which keeps your card details; we never see them. We only keep your subscription's status and renewal date, and the lessons you asked us to create. Stripe keeps invoices for as long as the law requires.

Writing to us: messages sent to our contact address are forwarded to us by SimpleLogin, and kept only as long as needed to answer them.

Cookies: only the ones needed to keep you signed in, and one that remembers the language you chose. No analytics or advertising cookies, so there is no consent banner.

Audience measurement: Vercel Web Analytics counts the pages viewed and the lessons finished (with the score), without cookies and without following anyone from one site to another. Visits are not linked to your account; the figures are only seen in aggregate.

Your rights: you can access, correct, export or erase your data, and object to its use by writing to bonjour@coursitout.com. You can also complain to the French data protection authority, the CNIL.
