1. Overview

Voicast Academy provides education and training services. We collect and use personal data in a limited, purpose-driven way to operate our platform, deliver courses, provide customer support, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations.

This Privacy Policy describes what we collect, how we use it, how cookies work on our site, how long we keep data, and what rights you may have under data protection laws such as GDPR and CCPA/CPRA (where applicable).

If you have questions, contact us at [email protected].

2. Data We Collect

We aim to collect the minimum amount of data required for reliable service delivery.

Account data
  • Name (if provided)
  • Email address
  • Optional phone number
  • Login and preference settings (e.g., theme)
Course activity
  • Progress events (e.g., lesson completed)
  • Completion timestamps
  • Support interactions related to learning
Technical data
  • Device and browser information
  • Approximate location (country/region inferred from IP)
  • Log data (security, performance)
Cookies
  • Strictly necessary cookies (site function)
  • Preference cookies (e.g., theme)
  • Optional analytics cookies (if enabled by you)

We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal data. If you choose to share sensitive information with us, you consent to our processing of that information for the purpose you shared it.

3. How We Use Data

We use personal data to:

  • Provide and maintain our courses, features, and customer support.
  • Authenticate users, prevent fraud, and secure accounts.
  • Personalize the user experience (e.g., language or theme preferences).
  • Improve performance, reliability, and content quality through aggregated insights.
  • Send operational communications (e.g., account-related notices).
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

We do not sell personal information. If you opt into analytics cookies, usage data may be processed in aggregated and de-identified form to evaluate site performance.

4. Cookies and Tracking

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use cookies to keep the site functioning, remember preferences, and measure performance when permitted.

Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
Required for security, page navigation, and basic site functions.
Preferences
Remember settings like theme and interface preferences.
Analytics (optional)
Helps us understand usage patterns in aggregated form when enabled.

You can manage cookie preferences via the cookie banner controls. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled from within the site because the service may not function correctly without them.

5. Legal Bases (GDPR)

Where GDPR applies, we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Contract necessity — to provide the services you request.
  • Consent — for optional cookies and specific communications when you opt in.
  • Legitimate interests — to secure the platform, prevent abuse, and improve services, balanced against your rights.
  • Legal obligations — to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

You may withdraw consent at any time for processing activities that rely on consent (for example, optional analytics cookies) without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:

  • Access to your personal data and information about our processing.
  • Rectification (correction) of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion, subject to legal and contractual limitations.
  • Portability (receive a copy of data in a structured format).
  • Restriction or objection to processing in certain circumstances.
  • Opt-out of certain uses (e.g., optional analytics cookies) via our cookie settings.

To exercise rights, contact [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before completing your request.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as needed to provide courses, maintain account functionality, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal requirements.

Retention factors
  • Account lifecycle (active vs. closed)
  • Support and security investigations
  • Legal retention obligations and limitation periods
  • Backups and disaster recovery windows

When retention is no longer necessary, we delete or anonymize data, unless we must keep it to comply with law.

8. Sharing and Processors

We may share personal data with service providers that help us operate the website and deliver services (for example: hosting, email delivery, customer support tools). These providers are authorized to process data only as necessary to provide services to us and are required to protect it.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect rights, safety, and security of our users and the platform.

We do not sell personal data. If you have questions about our vendors, contact us at [email protected].

9. International Transfers

If you access the service from outside the country where our servers or providers are located, your information may be transferred across borders. When required, we use safeguards designed to protect personal data, such as contractual protections and security controls.

If you would like details about applicable safeguards for transfers, contact [email protected].

10. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

No method of transmission over the Internet or method of storage is 100% secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact [email protected] promptly.

11. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact [email protected] so we can take appropriate steps.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will update the effective date at the top of this page.

Continued use of the service after an update means you accept the revised policy, to the extent permitted by law.
