Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters deeply to us. We've crafted this policy to be transparent about how we handle your personal information at Skilnova Spark.

Information We Collect

When you engage with our financial modeling platform, we collect information that helps us provide better educational experiences. This includes basic details like your name and email when you create an account, along with learning preferences and progress data.

We also gather technical information — your browser type, device details, and how you navigate through our courses. Think of it as understanding which learning paths work best, so we can improve our platform continuously.

  • Personal identifiers: name, email address, phone number
  • Educational progress and assessment results
  • Communication preferences and feedback
  • Device and browser information for optimal performance
  • Usage patterns to enhance learning experiences
We never collect sensitive financial information like bank account details or credit card numbers beyond what's necessary for course payments, which are processed securely through third-party providers.

How We Use Your Data

Your information serves several important purposes in our educational ecosystem. Primarily, we use it to personalize your learning journey — tracking which financial concepts you've mastered and which areas might need additional focus.

We also analyze aggregated data to improve our course content. If many students struggle with a particular modeling technique, we know to enhance that section or create additional resources. It's about making financial education more accessible for everyone.

  • Delivering personalized course recommendations
  • Tracking learning progress and achievements
  • Sending relevant updates about new financial modeling courses
  • Providing technical support and troubleshooting
  • Analyzing platform performance and user satisfaction

We occasionally send newsletters with market insights or new course announcements, but you can opt out anytime. Our goal is adding value, not cluttering your inbox.

Data Protection & Security

Security isn't just a checkbox for us — it's fundamental to how we operate. We employ industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage, ensuring your personal information remains protected from unauthorized access.

Our servers are hosted in secure facilities with regular backups and monitoring. We also conduct periodic security audits and keep our systems updated with the latest protection measures. Your trust is something we take seriously.

All payment processing happens through PCI-compliant third-party providers. We never store complete payment card information on our servers.
  • SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmissions
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing
  • Access controls limiting who can view personal data
  • Secure backup systems with encryption at rest
  • Compliance with South African data protection regulations

Your Privacy Rights

You maintain control over your personal information. You can request copies of data we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccuracies, or delete your account entirely. We typically respond to such requests within 30 days.

If you're concerned about how we handle your information, you can also lodge complaints with relevant data protection authorities. We welcome feedback about our privacy practices — it helps us improve.

  • Access your personal data and learning records
  • Request corrections to inaccurate information
  • Delete your account and associated data
  • Opt out of marketing communications
  • Export your course progress and certificates
Some data may be retained for legitimate business purposes, such as preventing fraud or maintaining academic records, even after account deletion.

Updates & Changes

Privacy policies evolve as our platform grows and regulations change. When we make significant updates, we'll notify you via email and post the changes prominently on our website. Minor clarifications might be updated without notification.

This policy was last updated in January 2025. We recommend checking back periodically, especially if you're a regular platform user. Staying informed about how your data is handled is always a good practice.

By continuing to use our platform after policy updates, you acknowledge and accept the revised terms. If you disagree with changes, you can delete your account at any time.

We believe transparency builds trust. If something in this policy isn't clear or you have specific questions about our data practices, don't hesitate to reach out. Clear communication about privacy is essential in today's digital learning environment.
