Privacy Policy
We built Academun to help people learn — not to harvest their data. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control it.
Last updated: January 2025
The short version
We never sell your personal data to anyone.
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
You can delete your account and all your data at any time.
