Privacy Policy
This policy explains what EarnVarsity, run by SkillFreedom Group ("we", "us"), collects about you, why, who sees it and the choices you have. SkillFreedom Group is based in Nigeria and EarnVarsity is used by people in many countries. We follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, and we respect the privacy rights that apply where you live, such as those under the GDPR and UK GDPR.
What we collect
Account details: your name, email address, country and the password you sign in with (stored in protected form, never in plain text).
Your acceptance of our legal pages: the version you accepted, the date, and whether you chose to receive marketing email.
Learning activity: lessons completed, quiz and exam results, XP, rank, streak, badges and certificates.
Things you create or save in the app: project and tool drafts, notes, plans and any earnings you choose to record.
Purchases and payouts: payment references from our payment processor, and bank details if you ask for a withdrawal. We do not see or store your full card number.
Messages with our AI coaches, and files or images you choose to share with them, so the coach can continue a conversation and so we can apply usage limits.
Basic technical and usage data, such as device type, which screens are opened and error reports, used to keep the app working and to see which parts are useful. We do not record what you type into lessons or tools for this purpose.
Why we use it, and our legal basis
To create and run your account, save your progress and provide the features you asked for (performance of our agreement with you).
To process purchases, memberships, commissions and withdrawals, and to keep financial records (performance of our agreement and legal obligations).
To give you AI coaching and recommendations that fit your goal (performance of our agreement).
To protect the service from abuse and fraud, and to fix and improve it (our legitimate interests).
To send you service messages such as receipts and security notices. We send marketing email only if you agreed to it, and you can withdraw that at any time (consent).
Who we share it with
Service providers that help us run the app: hosting, database, payment processing, email delivery and AI services. They may only use your data to provide their service to us.
Your AI messages are processed by an AI provider to produce replies. Do not put passwords, card numbers or other highly sensitive information into AI chats.
Authorities, advisers or a buyer of our business, where the law requires it or to protect our rights, under confidentiality.
Certificates have a public verification page. It shows only what is needed to confirm the certificate is real, such as the name on it, the course and the date.
We do not sell your personal data.
International transfers
Our team is in Nigeria and our providers may process data in other countries. When your data is moved to a country with different data laws, we use safeguards that the law allows, such as contracts with our providers that require them to protect it.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account is active and for as long as needed for legal, tax, accounting and fraud-prevention reasons. When you delete your account we remove or anonymise your personal data, except records we must keep by law. Backups are overwritten on a regular cycle.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask to see, correct, export or delete your personal data, restrict or object to some uses, and withdraw consent you gave earlier. Withdrawing consent does not affect what we did before.
To make a request, contact us through the Help and support chat inside the app. We may need to confirm it is you. We aim to reply within 30 days.
You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live or work, or to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission. We would like the chance to put things right first.
Cookies and local storage
We use your browser's storage to keep you signed in, remember your theme and language and save small settings. We do not use advertising trackers inside the app. If we add analytics or advertising tools in future, we will update this page and ask for consent where the law requires it.
Security
We use access controls and encrypted connections. No system is perfectly secure, so use a strong, unique password, keep it private and sign out on shared devices. Tell us at once if you think your account has been accessed by someone else.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy and will show the new date at the top. If a change affects how we use your data in a significant way, we will tell you in the app or by email. Questions? Ask in the Help and support chat inside the app.
