Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 14, 2026

Placeholder notice. This policy is provisional and pending final legal review. It describes our data practices in good faith but is not yet a definitive legal document. For questions in the meantime, contact us at the address below.

This Privacy Policy describes how Alcademia LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use Smith College Acoustics (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

While using the Service, we may collect certain identifiable information (“Personal Information”), which may include, but is not limited to:

  • Email address
  • Display name (optional)
  • Course progress, quiz scores, and learning activity

Like most websites, we also collect information your browser sends when you visit the Service (“Log Data”). This may include your IP address, browser type and version, pages visited, and the time and duration of your visit.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve the Service; to personalise your learning experience; to understand how exercises and content are used; and to keep your account secure. We do not sell your Personal Information.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies and browser local storage to maintain your session and to save certain interactive features, such as exercise state. You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies, but some parts of the Service may not function correctly without them. Clearing your cookies or local storage may remove locally saved progress.

Service Providers

We rely on third-party service providers to operate the Service — for example, hosting, database and authentication, content delivery, and the AI features that power the in-textbook tutor. These providers process information only as needed to perform their work and are obligated not to use it for any other purpose. A definitive list of subprocessors will be published here following legal review.

Data Retention

We store information about you for as long as your account remains active, including course progress, completion status, and quiz submissions. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the Personal Information we hold about you. To make a request, contact us at the address below. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect it, no method of Internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes by posting the updated policy on this page. By continuing to use the Service after revisions become effective, you agree to the revised policy.
