Privacy Policy — KAT Learning

Kindle a Techie (“KAT Learning”, “we”, “us”) operates the KAT Learning platform at kindleatechie.com. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We take the privacy of children and families seriously.

1. Who this policy covers

This policy applies to all users of the KAT Learning platform: parents, students (ages 8–19), instructors, fellows, and administrators. Where a user is under 18, a parent or guardian must register on their behalf and consents to this policy on their child’s behalf.

2. Data we collect

Account information

Full name and email address (required at registration)
Password (stored as a one-way bcrypt hash — we cannot read it)
User role (Parent, Student, Instructor, Fellow, Admin)
Profile picture (optional — stored securely in Cloudflare R2)

Academic data

Class attendance records
Assignment and assessment submissions and scores
Project files and portfolio links
Mentor feedback and notes
Badges and certificates earned

Payment data

Enrollment and billing records (plan, amount, date)
Card details are never stored by us — all payments are processed by Paystack and subject to their privacy policy

Communication data

Messages sent through the in-platform messaging system
Meeting attendance and recording metadata (via Zoho Meeting)

Technical data

Session tokens (stored as HTTP-only cookies — see our Cookie Policy)
Basic server logs (IP address, request timestamps) retained for security purposes

3. How we use your data

To create and manage your account
To deliver live classes, assignments, and mentor sessions
To give parents visibility into their child’s progress
To process enrollment payments and issue receipts
To send transactional emails (enrollment confirmation, password reset, cohort updates)
To ensure platform security and prevent abuse

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising.

4. Children’s privacy

KAT Learning serves students as young as 8 years old. We collect only the minimum data necessary to deliver education and give parents visibility. All student accounts are linked to a parent account. Parents can request a copy of their child’s data or ask for it to be deleted at any time by contacting us.

5. Third parties we share data with

Paystack — payment processing (enrollment billing and receipts)
Zoho Meeting — live class video sessions
Cloudflare R2 — file storage (avatars and project uploads)
Neon (PostgreSQL) — our hosted database provider

All third-party providers are contractually bound to protect your data and may not use it for their own purposes.

6. Data retention

We retain account data for as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we delete personal data within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain it (e.g., payment records for tax purposes, which are kept for 7 years).

7. Your rights

You have the right to:

Request a copy of the data we hold about you
Ask us to correct inaccurate data
Ask us to delete your data (subject to legal retention obligations)
Withdraw consent for optional data uses at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email support@kindleatechie.com.

8. Security

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. Session tokens are HTTP-only cookies transmitted over HTTPS. File uploads are stored in private Cloudflare R2 buckets. We review our security practices regularly.

9. Changes to this policy

We will notify registered users by email of any material changes to this policy before they take effect.
