Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 17, 2026  |  Last Updated: March 17, 2026

Pepcademy respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our platform.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name and email address through our OAuth authentication provider. We do not store passwords directly.

Learning Data: We track your course progress, quiz results, and learning goals to provide a personalized learning experience and to issue completion certificates.

Payment Information: Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe. We store your Stripe customer ID and payment intent ID for order tracking, but we never store your credit card number, CVV, or full card details on our servers.

Community Content: Posts and replies you make in our community forums are stored and displayed publicly to other users.

Usage Analytics: We may collect anonymized usage data (page views, feature usage) to improve the platform experience.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to: (a) provide and maintain the educational platform; (b) track your learning progress and issue certificates; (c) process payments through Stripe; (d) communicate important updates about the platform; (e) improve our content and user experience; (f) prevent fraud and abuse.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We share data only with: (a) Stripe for payment processing; (b) Our authentication provider for account management; (c) Law enforcement if required by law. Community posts and your display name are visible to other platform users.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure authentication tokens, and database access controls. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

We use session cookies for authentication and local storage to save your learning preferences (such as disclaimer acceptance, onboarding choices, and preview mode settings). These are essential for the platform to function and cannot be disabled without losing functionality.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information and learning data for as long as your account is active. If you wish to delete your account and associated data, please email us at [email protected].

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to: (a) access the personal data we hold about you; (b) request correction of inaccurate data; (c) request deletion of your data; (d) object to or restrict processing of your data; (e) receive your data in a portable format. To exercise these rights, please email us at [email protected].

8. Children's Privacy

Pepcademy is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that we have collected data from a user under 18, we will take steps to delete that information.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
