MAXACADEMY ("us," "we," or "our") thanks you for visiting our website and using our online resources, programs, and services. We use the words "you" and "your" to mean you, the reader and visitor to our website. This privacy statement ("this statement") explains the types of personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with and why, and what we do to protect it. "Website" means the online and mobile resources, services, and features we own and operate, including any apps and forms we provide to let visitors, learners, and clients interact with our content and services.
You are not required to provide us with any personal information. If you do not wish to provide your information, or to have it processed by us or our service providers, please do not provide it and avoid interacting with our Website. By using our Website or purchasing our products or services, you agree to this statement and that we may use and disclose your information as described here.
You can review the topics below for details about the personal information we collect, how we use and disclose it, how long we retain it, and your related choices:
Personal information generally means information that can be used to identify you or that can be easily linked to you (for example, your name, address, telephone number, email address, passport or ID details, and date of birth). We may collect personal information from visitors to and users of our Website, our learners and clients, and our third-party vendors and partners.
There are two types of information we obtain: (i) information collected automatically from each visitor, such as device and browser data; and (ii) personal information you voluntarily provide to us.
Voluntarily Submitted Information:
If you don't want us to collect this information, please don't provide it. Providing information is your choice; not providing it may limit your ability to use certain features, but will not affect access to information available to the general public on the Website.
Automatically Collected Information: When you visit our Website, we and certain service providers may collect information about your activity using cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies — such as your IP address, browser and operating system, the pages you visit, and the dates and times of your visits. We may associate this data with your account if you have one.
We may use the personal information we collect for a variety of purposes, including to:
Where required by applicable law, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases: as necessary to provide a service or complete a transaction with you; your consent (for example, for direct marketing); our legitimate business interests (such as maintaining and securing our services); and compliance with legal obligations, including under tax, immigration, and data-protection laws.
We may disclose your personal information to third parties as described below:
We use third-party payment processors for paid products and services; your payment information is provided directly to them and governed by their privacy policies and PCI-DSS standards.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to maintain our relationship with you and provide our Website, products, and services; to comply with our legal and contractual obligations (including immigration and real-estate record-keeping requirements); and to protect against potential disputes — all in accordance with our data-retention practices.
Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, to data portability, to withdraw consent, and to opt out of marketing. To stop receiving promotional emails, follow the unsubscribe instructions in any message or contact us. To exercise your rights, please contact us as described under "Contacting Us." Many rights are subject to exceptions and limitations, and our response will depend on the circumstances and your location.
We do not intend for our Website, products, or services to be used by children under the age of 18. If we become aware that anyone under 18 has submitted personal information, we will delete it. If you believe a minor has provided us personal information, please contact us. We encourage parents and guardians to talk with their children about online privacy.
We take reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative measures to protect your personal information, consistent with industry standards and applicable law. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We use common tracking technologies. Like many websites, we use cookies, pixels, web beacons, and similar technologies (collectively, "Cookies") to remember your preferences, understand how our Website is used, and improve it. Cookies on our sites generally fall into the following categories:
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Needed for the Website to function and let you move around and use its features — for example, keeping you signed in and supporting security and troubleshooting. |
| Analytics Cookies | Help us understand how visitors navigate and interact with our Website, such as how many people visit and which pages they view. We may use providers like Google Analytics for these purposes. |
| Advertising Cookies | May be placed by us or third parties to deliver and measure relevant marketing across our Website and other sites, based on your interests. |
Your browser may include "Do Not Track" functionality; our Website is not built to respond to such signals, but we do recognize applicable universal opt-out signals where required.
We may update this statement from time to time and will provide notice as required by law. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the latest version. Please check our Website periodically for the current statement.
We may link to other websites, services, and applications that we do not operate or control ("Third Party Sites"). This statement does not apply to Third Party Sites; please review their privacy practices before providing them your information.
