Responsible data use

We collect only what we need to run the academy and improve your learning experience.

1. About this policy

Who we are and how this policy applies.

This website and learning platform are operated under the name Techudu Academy for entrepreneurs and leaders who want to build confidence in financial analysis. References to “we”, “us” and “our” in this policy mean the team responsible for operating the academy in Australia.

This policy applies to personal information we collect when you visit our website at Techudu.com, subscribe to updates, request information, join a cohort or otherwise interact with us. It does not cover information collected by third-party websites or services that are linked from our site.

2. Information we collect

The types of personal information we handle.

The information we collect depends on how you interact with us. In general, we may collect the following categories of personal information:

Contact details – such as your name, email address, phone number and organisation.
Professional information – such as your role, team size, industry and the stage of your business.
Communication details – copies of messages you send us and notes from calls or meetings relating to the academy.
Website usage data – such as pages visited, features used, approximate location (based on IP address), device type and browser information. This is usually collected via cookies or similar technologies.
Cohort participation data – information you choose to share during sessions or in exercises, including reflections on your business and learning progress. We encourage you not to include sensitive personal information in these materials.

In most cases we collect information directly from you, for example when you complete a form, book a call or talk to us in a cohort session. In some cases, certain technical data is collected automatically via your browser or device.

3. How we use your information

Purposes for collecting and processing data.

We use personal information only for legitimate purposes connected to operating and improving Techudu Academy. These purposes include:

Providing information and services – responding to your enquiries, sending cohort details, delivering learning materials and facilitating live sessions.
Running the learning platform – administering registrations, managing cohort participation and providing resources relevant to your role and stage.
Improving the academy – analysing aggregated data to understand which pages, modules and resources are most useful, and where people may be getting stuck.
Communicating with you – sending essential service messages (such as cohort reminders) and, where permitted, occasional updates about new cohorts, resources or events.
Meeting legal and compliance obligations – keeping records required by law, responding to lawful requests and protecting our rights and the rights of others.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may use aggregated or de-identified information for analytics, reporting or improving the academy, but these outputs do not identify you personally.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

How we use cookies on this website.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, remember your preferences and help us understand how people use the academy materials. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website.

Essential cookies – required for the basic functioning of the site, such as page navigation and security features.
Preference cookies – used to remember choices you make, such as cookie preferences or forms you have started.
Analytics cookies – used to collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site, so we can improve content and navigation.

You can manage your cookie settings through your browser or device settings. Some features of the site may not function correctly if certain cookies are disabled. For more detail, you can refer to our Cookie Policy.

5. When we share your information

Service providers and other third parties.

We may share personal information with carefully selected third parties where necessary to run and improve the academy, or where we are legally required to do so. These parties may include:

Hosting and infrastructure providers – to host our website, email services and learning materials.
Communication and scheduling tools – to manage emails, bookings and live online sessions.
Analytics and performance tools – to understand how the site and learning content are being used in aggregate.
Professional advisers – such as legal or accounting advisers, where reasonably necessary for our business.

These service providers are only permitted to use your personal information to perform services on our behalf and are required to protect that information appropriately.

We may also disclose personal information where required or authorised by law, for example in response to a valid legal process or to protect the safety and rights of our participants and team.

6. International transfers

Where your information may be stored or accessed.

We are based in Australia, but some of the third-party service providers we rely on may store or process personal information in other countries. This means your information may be transferred to jurisdictions with different data protection laws.

Where possible, we aim to work with providers that offer robust security standards. By using our website or participating in the academy, you acknowledge that your information may be processed in countries outside your own.

7. How we protect and retain information

Security and retention practices.

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. These steps include using reputable hosting providers, restricting access to team members who need the information and regularly reviewing our tools and configurations.

We retain personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to de-identify or securely delete it.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security, and you share information with us at your own risk.

8. Your choices and rights

Access, correction and communication preferences.

Depending on where you are located and subject to applicable law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, such as the right to:

Request access to personal information we hold about you.
Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Opt out of receiving non-essential communications, such as marketing emails, by using the unsubscribe link or contacting us directly.

We will respond to requests within a reasonable timeframe and may need to verify your identity before providing access or making changes. In some cases, we may be unable to comply with a request where legal or operational reasons apply, but we will explain our reasoning where appropriate.

9. Third-party websites and content

Links to external resources.

Our website and learning materials may contain links to external websites, tools or resources. These third-party sites are not operated or controlled by Techudu Academy, and their own privacy practices apply.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit. We are not responsible for the privacy or security of information you choose to share with third parties.

10. Updates to this Privacy Policy

How we will let you know about changes.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements or other reasons. The “Last updated” date at the bottom of this page indicates when the policy was most recently revised.
