Academy4Tech App Privacy Policy

Effective date: 3 September 2026
Android package: com.academy4tech.versionfirst

Summary

The Academy4Tech app does not contain advertising or analytics SDKs and does not ask for location, camera, microphone, contacts or device-storage permissions. Topic bookmarks and a selected learning level remain on the device. The app connects to academy4tech.com to load learning content.

Website content

When a learner opens a lesson, project, tutorial, article or community page, the app loads that page from academy4tech.com over HTTPS. The website host may process ordinary technical request data such as IP address, browser information, requested page and time for security and delivery.

Course-interest form

Submitting the optional course-interest form sends the information entered directly to Academy4Tech. This can include:

name and email address;
learner or submitter role;
learner age group;
country or region;
experience level;
selected learning interests;
preferred learning format; and
an optional project or learning message.

The form also records a submission reference and submission time. The information is used for course planning and relevant follow-up. It is not sold. A parent or guardian must submit the form for a learner under 16.

A4T Buddy

Buddy's chat and recommendations run on the device using the Academy4Tech catalog. Chat text is not sent to a generative-AI provider or stored by the app. Opening a Buddy recommendation loads the selected Academy4Tech page in the same way as other website content.

Device storage and cache

The app stores only topic bookmarks, a selected experience level, a cached website search index and cached website images. Android may remove cached files automatically. Uninstalling the app removes this local data. Course-interest submissions are stored by Academy4Tech rather than in the app's local preferences.

Sharing and retention

Academy4Tech does not sell personal information. Service providers used to host and secure academy4tech.com may process data only to provide those services. Course-interest information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for course planning, follow-up, security and legal obligations.

Children

Academy4Tech provides educational material to a broad audience. The course-interest form requires a parent or guardian to submit for a learner under 16. The app does not knowingly use behavioral advertising or profiling for children.

Your choices

Learners can use the built-in catalog and Buddy without submitting personal details. App storage can be cleared, or the app can be uninstalled, to remove local preferences and cache. To ask about a course submission or request access, correction or deletion, email info@academy4tech.com.

Security and changes

Academy4Tech uses HTTPS for app-to-website traffic and limits in-app browsing to Academy4Tech pages. No system is completely secure. Material policy changes will be reflected in the in-app policy and the public web copy, with an updated effective date.
