Aedume Education Technologies (“Aedume,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account Information

When you register, we collect your name, email address, phone number, role (student, tutor, or institution), profile photo, and any qualifications or credentials you submit for verification.

1.2 Payment Data

We collect information related to wallet recharges, session payments, and payouts including transaction IDs, amounts, and payment method details. Full card numbers are never stored on our servers — payment processing is handled by PCI-compliant third-party providers.

  • Send transactional notifications (booking confirmations, reminders)
  • Improve our platform, features, and user experience

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only in the following circumstances:

4. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain your session, remember preferences, and analyze platform usage. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Essential cookies required for platform functionality cannot be disabled.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, secure escrow payment processing, role-based access controls, and regular security audits. While no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, we strive to protect your personal information with commercially reasonable safeguards.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Delete your account and personal data

7. Children's Privacy

Aedume is not directed at children under the age of 13. Users under 18 must have parental or guardian consent to use the platform. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
