Effective date: 2026-02-21
This Privacy Policy explains how ITER Academy (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects and uses personal data when you visit https://iter-academy.com/ (the “Website”).
We aim to explain this in plain language. If anything is unclear, contact us at contact@iter-academy.com.
1. Who is responsible for your data (Controller)
Controller: ITER Academy
Country: Ukraine
Website: https://iter-academy.com/
Contact email: contact@iter-academy.com
Under European data protection laws (like GDPR), the “controller” is the organization that decides how and why personal data is processed.
2. What personal data we collect
A. Data collected automatically (usage data)
When you visit the Website, we (and our service providers) may collect:
- IP address (often shortened/processed in a way that reduces identifiability, depending on configuration)
- Device and browser information (type, version, operating system)
- Pages viewed and actions taken (e.g., page visits, time on page, clicks)
- Approximate location (derived from IP, typically city/region level)
- Referral source (how you arrived at the Website)
This data is generally collected through cookies and similar technologies.
B. Data you provide directly
We do not intentionally collect personal data through forms or accounts on the Website (based on the information you provided).
If you email us, we will process the information you include in your message (such as your email address and message content) so we can reply.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Analytics (to understand how visitors use the Website)
- Advertising (to measure ad performance and potentially show relevant ads)
A “cookie” is a small file stored on your device. Some cookies are set by us (“first-party”) and some by third parties (“third-party”), such as Google.
Managing cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Use our cookie banner (if shown) to accept/reject categories of cookies.
- Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
- Use Google’s controls (see Section 7).
Blocking some cookies may affect how the Website functions.
4. Why we use your data (purposes)
We process personal data to:
- Operate and improve the Website (analytics, performance, troubleshooting)
- Measure and improve advertising (understanding whether ads lead to visits or actions)
- Maintain security (preventing abuse, protecting the Website)
- Respond to inquiries (if you contact us by email)
5. Legal bases (GDPR / UK GDPR)
If GDPR/UK GDPR applies to you (for example, if you are in the EU/EEA/UK), we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent: for non-essential cookies such as analytics and advertising cookies (where required by law).
- Legitimate interests: for essential operations like security and basic site functionality (where applicable and permitted).
- Contract / steps before a contract: only if you request services from us (not currently a primary use case based on the info provided).
- Legal obligation: if we must retain or disclose information to comply with the law.
In practice, analytics/ads cookies are commonly run based on consent via a cookie banner in the EU/UK.
6. Sharing your data (processors and third parties)
We use third-party services that may process personal data on our behalf:
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Website (e.g., page views, traffic sources).
Provider: Google (Google Ireland Limited and/or Google LLC, depending on your location and configuration).
Google Ads
We use Google Ads to promote our Website and measure ad effectiveness. This may involve cookies and similar identifiers.
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with service providers as needed for the purposes described above, and only under appropriate safeguards.
7. Google controls and opt-outs
You can learn about and control how Google uses data:
- Google’s information on data use in advertising:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads - Google Ads personalization controls:
https://adssettings.google.com/ - Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
(These links are provided for convenience; Google may update them over time.)
8. International data transfers
Because we use Google services, your data may be processed outside your country, including potentially outside the EU/EEA/UK.
Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies and international transfers occur, they are typically protected using recognized safeguards (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses and/or other transfer mechanisms offered by the provider).
9. Data retention (how long we keep data)
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
- Analytics and advertising data: retained according to our Google Analytics/Ads settings.
- Emails you send us: kept as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping, unless you request deletion (and we have no legal reason to keep it).
If you want, tell me your preferred retention periods (e.g., “analytics retained 14 months”), and I’ll insert exact values.
10. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data (such as access controls and standard security practices).
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information.
11. Your privacy rights (especially for EU/EEA/UK users)
Depending on where you live, you may have rights including:
- Access: ask what personal data we have about you
- Correction: fix inaccurate data
- Deletion: ask us to delete your data
- Restriction: limit how we use your data
- Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Data portability: receive your data in a usable format
- Withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent (e.g., cookies). Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already happened.
To exercise your rights, email contact@iter-academy.com.
We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
Complaints
If GDPR/UK GDPR applies, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
12. Children’s privacy
The Website is not intended for children under 16 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
13. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
We will post the updated version on this page and change the “Effective date” at the top.
