Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Brain Academy (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data of its users (each, a “Member”). It also explains Members’ rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This Privacy Policy applies to Brain Academy and all courses, programs, coaching, community activities, and services offered through our platform.

We may use Members’ personal data for the following purposes:

  • To provide and improve services
    Delivering courses, programs, and coaching, and improving user experience.

  • To improve customer service
    Helping us respond more effectively to support requests.

Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

We process personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Legal obligation: To comply with applicable laws (e.g., tax regulations).

Sharing Your Personal Data

We do not sell, trade, or rent personal data.

We may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers (such as payment processors, email services, or community platforms) who help us operate Brain Academy. These providers are only authorized to use personal data as necessary to deliver their services to us and must comply with GDPR.


Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law (e.g., tax records). When data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted.

Security of Your Data

We adopt appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
