Privacy Policy

Welcome to the privacy statement of Academia Now. We find your privacy super important. That is why we would like to explain to you on this page in plain language what data we collect from you, why we do that and how we protect it. That way you know exactly what to expect.

Whether you practice geography, history or economics with us: we ensure that your data is safe.

1. Who are we? Academia Now is a learning platform where you as a student can practice at your own pace with explanation videos, practice tests and smart quizzes. We are located in the Netherlands and can be reached via info @academianow.nl .

2. What data do we collect and why?

Account information When creating your account we ask for:

  • First and last name

  • Email address

  • Password

  • Date of birth

  • School level (e.g. vmbo, havo, vwo)

  • School year

We use this information so that you can log in and our content is tailored to your level. This way, you will see exactly the explanation videos and practice tests that match your subjects.

Practice data We keep track of:

  • What topics you practice

  • How long you practice

  • What your results are

With this information we can show you your personal progress and help you focus on what needs extra attention.

Education data We also ask for:

  • The type of education you are following (for example in the Netherlands or Belgium)

  • Your method (such as Feniks or De Geo)

This way we can prepare the right chapters and topics for you.

Payment details If you take out a paid subscription, we will only use your payment details to process the payment. You can pay via iDEAL, credit card or Bancontact. We use secure payment systems.

3. What do we do with your data?

  • We show you content that matches your school book and level

  • We track your progress

  • We improve our platform based on usage

  • We will sometimes send you an email with a progress report or relevant tips (you can unsubscribe at any time)

4. How long do we store your data? We store your account data as long as you are active on our platform. If you stop, we will delete your data after one year. We store some data for a little longer, for example to be able to make you offers (you can stop this yourself).

5. Do we share your data with others? No, unless it is really necessary. For example:

  • For processing payments (with an external payment provider)

  • For technical maintenance of our systems

  • If we are legally required to do so (for example by a court order)

We never sell your data. Ever.

6. Your rights You have the right to:

  • To view your data

  • To modify or delete data

  • To stop your account

  • Objecting to the use of your data

  • Request your data to be transferred
