Privacy Policy

This policy explains how BlackSec Academy collects, uses, and protects your personal data. By using the Platform, you consent to this policy.

Account data: email, username, avatar — via our authentication provider (Clerk).

Learning activity: completed lessons, labs, XP, streaks, badges, and study-time statistics.

Payment data: subscription status and payment history (card details are never stored on our servers).

Telegram: if you use our bot, your Telegram chat ID may be stored to send you notifications.

Technical data: IP address, browser type, cookies — for security and to improve the site.

We use your data to: manage your account, personalize your learning experience, provide technical support, keep the service secure and reliable, and comply with legal obligations.

We rely on the following third-party providers to run the service: Clerk (authentication), Supabase (database and file storage), Telegram (bot notifications), Vercel (hosting). These providers have their own privacy policies and process your data only to provide their service.

We do not sell your data to third parties for advertising purposes.

Your data is retained while your account is active. If you request account deletion, your personal data is removed within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.

You have the right to access, correct, export, or request deletion of your data. Submit such requests through the Support section.

We use cookies necessary for session management, remembering your language preference, and general site functionality. You may disable cookies in your browser, though some features may stop working.

The Platform is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

We apply industry-standard technical and organizational measures (encryption, access controls) to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet can be guaranteed 100% secure.

This policy may be updated periodically. We will announce material changes on the site.
