2. Information Collected Automatically

• Course progress
• Assignment submission status
• Attendance at live sessions
• Recent learning activity
• Course completion

Instructors may be provided with learning-related information about students enrolled in their assigned cohorts where necessary to support teaching and student success. Instructors and staff should only have access to information necessary for their role.

We do not intend for instructors to have unrestricted access to students' private account, payment, authentication, or other unrelated personal information.

5. Platform Analytics

We may use aggregated or appropriately limited information to understand how our platform is being used. This may include:

• Website visits
• Course views
• Course enrollments
• Course completion
• Learning engagement
• Platform activity
• General traffic patterns

Where possible, analytics are presented in aggregate and are not intended to expose unnecessary personal information. Advertising pixels (Meta Pixel and Google Ads) are separate from this platform analytics and are described in the cookies section below.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies in two groups:

Necessary

These keep you signed in and support security, payments, classroom, and chat. They are required for the platform to work. You cannot turn them off from our cookie banner.

Marketing

If you choose Accept marketing cookies, we load Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms) and Google Ads. These tools help us measure whether ads led people to this site and show Analytic Sages ads to visitors who have used the site (retargeting). They may collect pages you view, device and browser information, and advertising identifiers. We do not send your email address or name to Meta or Google as hashed customer data for these ads.

Marketing cookies are off until you opt in. If you choose Necessary only, we do not load Meta Pixel or Google Ads.

You can change this choice at any time using Cookie settings in the website footer, Cookie preferences in account Settings when you are signed in, or the cookie banner. You can also control cookies in your browser. Meta and Google provide their own ad controls, including Meta Ad Preferences and Google Ads Settings.

Website analytics

Website traffic measurement on analyticsages.io uses Plausible Analytics, which is designed not to use advertising cookies or collect personal information for ads. Plausible is separate from Meta Pixel and Google Ads.

Sign-in, payments, classroom, and chat features may still use cookies or similar technologies that those services need in order to work. Some essential functionality may not work properly if certain necessary cookies are disabled in your browser.

7. Third-Party Services

Analytic Sages relies on selected third-party providers to operate and improve the platform. Depending on the services you use, these may include providers for:

• Cloud hosting and infrastructure
• Authentication
• Video delivery

• Advertising and retargeting, if you accept marketing cookies
• Database and application infrastructure

Examples may include Google (including Google Ads), Meta Platforms (Meta Pixel), Vercel, Render, RealtimeKit, Bunny Stream, Paystack, NOWPayments, YouTube, Plausible Analytics, Resend, and other service providers used by the platform.

These providers may process information according to their own terms and privacy policies. We seek to use reputable providers and only provide third parties with access to information reasonably necessary for them to perform their services.

8. Payments

Payments for Analytic Sages courses and programs may be processed by third-party payment providers. Depending on the payment method you choose, this may include card or bank transfer processing, or cryptocurrency payment processing.

Payment providers may collect and process payment information directly.

9. Video and Live Learning

• Participation duration

Where applicable, additional information about recordings or session participation will be communicated to participants.

10. Research Authors and Contributors

11. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited information with:

Service providers

Companies that help us operate our platform, including hosting, authentication, payment, email, video, analytics, and infrastructure providers.

Advertising partners

If you accept marketing cookies, Meta Platforms and Google may receive limited technical information (such as pages viewed and device or browser data) so we can measure campaigns and retarget visitors. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not send your email address to these advertising tools.

Instructors and authorized staff

Information necessary for instructors and authorized staff to perform their responsibilities.

Legal and regulatory authorities

Where disclosure is required by applicable law, regulation, court order, or lawful governmental request.

Business transactions

If Analytic Sages is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.

12. International Data Transfers

Because Analytic Sages serves a global audience and uses technology providers operating in different countries, your information may be processed or stored outside Nigeria or your country of residence.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we seek to use appropriate safeguards and reputable service providers consistent with applicable data protection requirements.

13. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

• Providing our services
• Maintaining your account
• Maintaining learning records
• Meeting legal and regulatory obligations
• Resolving disputes
• Preventing fraud and abuse
• Maintaining appropriate business records

When information is no longer required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal obligations.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information. These may include the right to:

• Know how your information is being used

• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of certain information
• Object to certain processing
• Restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

The Nigeria Data Protection Act recognizes several of these rights, including access, rectification, objection, portability, and the right to be forgotten. Some rights may be subject to legal limitations.

If you are in Nigeria, you may also lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) where you believe your data protection rights have been infringed.

You can withdraw marketing-cookie consent at any time using Cookie settings in the footer or Cookie preferences in Settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect necessary cookies needed to run the platform.

If you would like to:

• Update your information
• Access your personal information
• Request deletion of your account
• Withdraw consent
• Ask a privacy-related question

please contact us using the details provided below. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

16. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, unauthorized disclosure, loss, misuse, alteration, and destruction.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and should notify us if you believe your account has been compromised.

17. Children's Privacy

Analytic Sages is primarily designed for learners who are legally able to enter into agreements and use our educational services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

Where a program is specifically designed for younger learners, we may implement additional consent and safeguarding requirements appropriate to that program.

18. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links or embedded content from third-party websites and services. Examples may include YouTube, Dune, Google, and other educational or technology platforms.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before providing them with personal information.

19. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our platform, services, technology, or legal obligations change.

When we make significant changes, we may provide notice through the website or other appropriate communication channels. The Last Updated date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently revised.
