Privacy Policy
Data Academy respects the privacy of learners, visitors and users of our online learning platform. This policy explains the types of information we may collect, why we use it, and the choices available to you.
Information we collect
Depending on how you use Data Academy, we may collect information such as:
- Name, email address and phone number.
- Student account and login information.
- Course enrollment, lesson progress, assessment and project records.
- Certificate and credential-verification information.
- Support communications you send to us.
- Payment-related identifiers and transaction status supplied by our payment processor.
- Basic technical and security information needed to operate and protect the platform.
Payment information
Online payments may be processed through third-party payment providers such as Razorpay. Data Academy does not need to store your complete card number, UPI PIN, banking password or similar authentication credentials on its own servers. Payment providers may process information according to their own privacy and security practices.
How we use information
- To create and maintain learner accounts.
- To verify email addresses and manage account security.
- To activate and administer purchased course access.
- To record learning progress, assessments, projects and certifications.
- To provide support and communicate important service information.
- To prevent fraud, misuse, duplicate payments and unauthorized access.
- To comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
Data sharing
We do not sell learner personal information. Information may be shared with service providers only where reasonably required to operate Data Academy, such as hosting, email delivery, storage and payment-processing providers, or where disclosure is required by applicable law.
Data retention and security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for learning records, account administration, security, certification, payment records and applicable legal requirements. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices
You may contact Data Academy to ask questions about your account information, request correction of inaccurate information, or raise a privacy concern. Some records may need to be retained where required for legitimate academic, security, transaction or legal purposes.
