DRAFT – Apex Accounting Academy should review this notice (and fill in the bracketed details) before launch, and take local legal advice on its obligations under Zambia's Data Protection Act No. 3 of 2021 and consumer-protection law.
Who we are
Apex Accounting Academy ("we") provides this online question bank. Contact: [support email / address].
What we collect and why
- Account: your email address and a password (stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider). Used to sign you in, confirm your email, reset your password and match your purchase.
- Purchase records: the Selar order reference, purchase email, product, amount, currency and payment status we receive about your purchase. Used to verify payment and manage your 90-day access, renewals and refunds. We do not receive or store card or mobile-money details.
- Licence records: activation and expiry dates and any changes made by our support team.
- Study progress: your answers, self-assessment ticks, bookmarks, mock results and history, so you can continue on any device.
- Security and usage records: which questions were opened or checked and when, a random device identifier and browser type. Used to enforce fair-use limits, detect account sharing and improve the questions.
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not sell your data. The site stores your sign-in session and a local copy of your progress in your browser.
Who processes it
Supabase (database and authentication hosting), [Cloudflare/Netlify] (website hosting), Selar (sales and payment), and, if enabled, Zapier (forwarding sale notifications), each under their own terms. Data may be stored outside Zambia, in the hosting region we have selected: [region].
How long we keep it
- Account, purchase and licence records: for as long as your account exists and for [6] years after your last purchase, for accounting and dispute purposes.
- Study progress: while your account exists. It is kept after your access expires so it is there if you renew.
- Usage and security records: 180 days. Selar notification logs: 365 days.
Your rights
You can download your progress at any time (Review & progress → Export). To request access to, correction of or deletion of your personal data, contact us at [support email]. Deleting your account removes your progress and licence; purchase records we must keep for accounting are retained for the period above.
Changes
We will post any changes here. Last updated: [date].
