SimplyJITH Academy ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your data when you use our platform at simplyjith.com and any related services (collectively, the "Platform").

  • Account information — name, email address, and hashed password when you register.
  • Payment information — transaction records, order IDs, and payment status. We do not store card numbers; payments are processed by Stripe, Razorpay, or PayPal.

  • To improve the Platform and personalise your experience.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. Sharing of Information

We share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • Payment processors — Stripe, Razorpay, and PayPal receive the minimum data required to process your payment.
  • Canvas LMS — your name and email are shared with your institution's Canvas LMS instance to create your learner account and manage enrollments.
  • Legal requirements — we may disclose your information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of SimplyJITH Academy or others.
  • Service providers — trusted third-party vendors who assist in operating the Platform (e.g. cloud hosting, email delivery) under strict confidentiality obligations.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account and order data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services and comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us at support@simplyjith.com. Note that some data (e.g. payment records) may be retained for a minimum period as required by applicable law.

6. Cookies

The Platform uses cookies and similar technologies for authentication (storing your login session) and analytics. Essential cookies are required for the Platform to function. You may disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings, but this may affect some features.

7. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, hashed passwords (bcrypt), and JWT-based session management. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

The Platform is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Request deletion of your data.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing of your data.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
