Privacy Policy

12. Privacy

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name and email address, and information generated through your use of the Service, such as practice activity and results. We use this information to operate, secure, and improve the Service. We do not sell your personal data.

You can permanently delete your account, and everything stored with it, at any time from Account → Delete account (also available at a2ciple.pt/account). Deletion is immediate and irreversible.

If you are in a jurisdiction with applicable data-protection rights (for example, the GDPR or CCPA), you may also request access to or correction of your personal data. Send requests to [email protected].

13. Cookies, Analytics, and Your Consent

The Service uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are strictly necessary, for example the cookie that keeps you signed in. Others support analytics.

We use Google Analytics (a Google service) to measure how people find and use the Service. Google Analytics sets cookies and similar identifiers in your browser and collects data such as the pages you view, the links and files you interact with, how far you scroll, the searches you run on the Service, your approximate location derived from your IP address, your device, browser, operating system, language, screen size, and the site or campaign that referred you. This includes Google Analytics enhanced measurement, Google Signals, and Google advertising features where they are enabled, which can combine this data with signed-in Google account information to produce demographic and interest reporting and to support advertising and remarketing audiences. Google processes this data on our behalf and also for its own purposes as described in Google’s Privacy Policy. Data may be transferred to and stored in the United States and other countries.

By accessing or using the Service, you consent to this collection, storage, and processing, including the placing of analytics cookies and identifiers on your device and the transfer of that data to Google and its processors. This consent covers all current and future Google Analytics features we enable, and it is a condition of using the Service. Because we rely on this consent, we do not display a separate cookie banner.

If you do not consent, do not use the Service. You can also withdraw consent at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, blocking or deleting cookies in your browser settings, or using a browser or extension that blocks analytics scripts. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already took place. Questions about analytics data, or requests to access or delete it, go to [email protected].

14. Copyright (DMCA)

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice with the required details to [email protected].

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore. Any dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis; you waive any right to participate in a class action.
