9. Third-Party Services
Google AdMob
Four SEE Academy apps use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and process certain device and app interaction information for purposes related to advertising, subject to Google's policies.
Maths Mastery 12 does not use advertisements.
Google AdSense (Website Advertising)
SEE Academy has applied to use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this website. If and when AdSense ads are served, Google and its third-party advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to collect or receive information from visitors' browsers. This information may include the visitor's IP address, the page being visited, browser or device information, and interactions with ads. These technologies may be used to deliver and measure advertisements, help prevent fraud, and, depending on applicable settings and consent, provide personalised or non-personalised advertising.
SEE Academy does not itself collect this advertising information through a website account or registration system. Information processed through AdSense is handled by Google and its partners under their own privacy policies and settings.
For more information, read Google's Advertising Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

WhatsApp is used only when a user voluntarily chooses to contact SEE Academy through WhatsApp. WhatsApp is operated by Meta and is subject to its own privacy practices.
10. Sharing of Information
SEE Academy does not sell users' personal information.
Information voluntarily provided directly to SEE Academy is not shared with third parties except where necessary to provide a requested service, where required by law, or where the relevant third-party service operates according to its own privacy practices.
Advertising-related information processed through Google AdMob in our apps or Google AdSense on our website is handled according to Google's policies and applicable settings.
11. Data Retention and Deletion
SEE Academy does not require users to create accounts and therefore does not maintain user account profiles for normal use of the apps.
When users voluntarily provide information through WhatsApp or email, SEE Academy keeps that information only for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the request or provide the requested assistance, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Information under SEE Academy's control may be deleted when it is no longer needed.
Information processed by third-party services such as Google AdMob or WhatsApp is subject to those services' respective policies and controls.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
13. Children and Younger Users
SEE Academy provides educational resources that may be used by school learners, including younger users.
Our educational applications do not require users to create accounts or provide personal information in order to use the apps.
We encourage learners to avoid sharing unnecessary personal information online and to involve a parent, guardian, teacher or other trusted adult when appropriate.
14. SEE Academy Website
The SEE Academy website provides educational information, resources, past examination papers, study opportunities and information about SEE Academy applications.
The website does not require users to create an account in order to browse its normal content. SEE Academy does not use a website account or registration system to collect visitors' personal information.
If Google AdSense advertisements are served on the website, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or similar technologies as described in the Third-Party Services section above. This means that although SEE Academy does not directly collect visitor information through the website, third-party advertising technology may process information when visitors access pages that use advertising services.
