Children’s Privacy
Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to us. Qima Academy’s services are intended for learners of all ages, but we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age without verifiable parental consent. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under the age limit, we will delete that information as soon as possible. Parents and guardians should monitor their children’s use of the internet and online services. If you are a parent and believe your child may have provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When changes are made, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Any significant changes will be posted here, and we encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
