This Privacy Policy explains how Discoverya Academy (“Discoverya Academy”, “we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data when you visit our website, contact us, or enroll in courses (collectively, the “Services”). This policy is intended to be clear and readable, and it also provides definitions for key terms used throughout.

2) Definitions

• Processing: Any operation performed on Personal Data (e.g., collecting, storing, using, disclosing, deleting).
• Controller: The entity deciding how and why Personal Data is processed (generally, Discoverya Academy for the Services).
• Cookies: Small files stored by your browser; we also use localStorage for certain preferences.
• Usage Data: Technical and behavioral information about how you use the Services (e.g., pages visited, device details).

3) Scope & Who This Applies To

This policy applies to visitors, prospective learners, enrolled learners, and anyone interacting with the Services. It does not apply to third-party sites, products, or services that may be linked from our pages.

4) Data We Collect

We may collect the following categories of data depending on how you interact with the Services:

• Contact Data you provide via forms or communications (e.g., name, email, phone, message contents).
• Account / Enrollment Data if you choose to sign up or enroll (e.g., course selections, attendance or progress information if applicable).
• Usage Data (e.g., pages viewed, approximate location inferred from IP, timestamps, referrers, device/browser details).
• Preferences stored locally on your device (e.g., theme selection), typically via localStorage.

5) How We Use Data

6) Legal Bases (Where Applicable)

Where laws such as the GDPR apply, our processing may be based on one or more of the following: (a) your consent, (b) performance of a contract (e.g., providing requested Services), (c) compliance with legal obligations, and/or (d) legitimate interests (e.g., securing and improving the Services) balanced against your rights.

7) Cookies & Local Storage

We use necessary storage technologies for site functionality and user experience. This may include cookies and localStorage, such as saving your theme preference. You can manage or delete cookies via your browser settings. If you disable certain storage mechanisms, some features may not work as intended.

Cookie Consent

A cookie banner may request your consent for storage use depending on your jurisdiction and configuration. Your consent choice may be stored locally on your device so we can remember it.

8) Analytics

We may use analytics to understand how the Services are used, measure performance, and improve content. Analytics generally involves collecting Usage Data such as page views, device/browser data, and interaction patterns. Where required, we will request consent before enabling non-essential analytics.

9) Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your Personal Data. We may share Personal Data only as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including:

• Service providers that process data on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, support tooling), subject to appropriate contractual safeguards.
• Legal compliance if required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or valid governmental request.
• Security and enforcement to protect our rights, users, or the public; investigate fraud or technical issues.

10) Data Retention

We retain Personal Data only for as long as necessary to provide the Services, fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary depending on data type and context.

11) Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12) International Transfers

If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries that may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
