Information we may collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect or receive:
- your name and email address;
- purchase, transaction and order information;
- information you provide when contacting support;
- information submitted when requesting development assistance or code reviews;
- technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information and security logs;
- course-access or account information if account functionality is introduced;
- other information you choose to provide.
Why we use personal information
We may use personal information to:
- process and administer purchases;
- provide courses, digital resources or development services;
- respond to support requests;
- prevent fraud, abuse and security incidents;
- operate and improve our website;
- maintain transaction and accounting records;
- comply with legal obligations;
- communicate with you about a purchase, account or service you requested.
Legal bases
Depending on the circumstances, we may process information because it is necessary to perform or enter into a contract with you, comply with a legal obligation, pursue legitimate interests in operating and protecting our services, or because you have provided consent.
Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
Payments
Payments may be processed by Stripe or another payment provider identified during checkout.
Payment providers may collect information needed to process a transaction, including payment method, billing and fraud-prevention information.
PaperChasin Academy does not intend to store customers' full card numbers or card security codes on this website. Card details entered into a payment provider's checkout are handled by that provider.
We may receive transaction information such as your name, email address, amount paid, payment status, transaction reference and limited payment-method information.
Who we may share information with
Where reasonably necessary, information may be shared with service providers that help us operate PaperChasin Academy, including:
- payment processors such as Stripe;
- website hosting, infrastructure and security providers such as Cloudflare;
- email or technical-support providers;
- professional advisers where required;
- authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights, users or services.
Links to Discord, Roblox, YouTube and other third-party platforms take you to independently operated services. Their own privacy notices apply to information they collect.
Some providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where applicable, recognised legal safeguards will be used for international transfers.
How long we keep information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the reason it was collected and for legal, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention or dispute-resolution purposes.
Purchase and transaction records may need to be kept for longer than ordinary support messages.
Information no longer required will be deleted, anonymised or securely disposed of where appropriate.
Your information rights
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, you may have rights including the ability to:
- request access to personal information we hold about you;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion in certain circumstances;
- request restriction of certain processing;
- object to certain processing;
- receive certain information in a portable format;
- withdraw consent where consent is relied on.
