FM Academy ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it when you purchase or access our digital educational Products.

We use your data only for the purposes listed below and for no other reason:

03 โ€” Data Sharing

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.

We may share limited information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: Stripe (payment processing) and Discord (community hosting) receive only the data necessary to perform their functions.
  • Legal obligations: If required by law, court order, or to protect our legitimate rights.
  • With your consent: If you explicitly request or agree to any other data sharing.

04 โ€” Retention

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the Products and fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by law. Transaction records may be retained for up to 7 years to comply with financial regulations. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Your Rights below).

05 โ€” Security

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data, including HTTPS encryption for all data in transit and access controls for stored data. Payment information is handled exclusively by Stripe, which is PCI-DSS certified. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
