FOMO Academy is an educational website. We collect as little personal data as possible, we do not sell or share your data, and we do not require you to create an account to read anything.
2. Categories of Data We Collect
- Information you send us: if you email us, we receive your name, email address and the contents of your message so we can reply.
- Technical & usage data: like most websites, our hosting may automatically log standard information such as IP address, approximate location derived from it, browser and device type, pages visited and timestamps, for security and to keep the site running.
- Cookie data: a small amount of data as described in our Cookie Policy. Non-essential cookies are only set with your consent.
We do not ask for, want, or have any way to access your wallet, private keys, seed phrase or funds.
3. Purposes of Processing & Legal Basis
- To respond to your enquiries — legal basis: your consent and our legitimate interest in answering you.
- To operate, secure and maintain the website — legal basis: our legitimate interest in a safe, functioning service.
- To understand, in aggregate, which guides are useful (only if you accept analytics cookies) — legal basis: your consent.
- To comply with the law — legal basis: legal obligation.
We do not use your information to give personalised financial advice or to sell you products.
4. Third-Party Sharing
We do not sell or rent personal data. We may share limited data with service providers who help us run the website — such as our hosting/CDN provider and, if enabled, a privacy-respecting analytics provider — strictly to provide those services under appropriate safeguards, or where required by law. These providers are the same as those listed in our Cookie Policy.
5. International Data Transfers
We are based in the United States, and our service providers may process data in the United States or other countries. Where personal data is transferred out of your country or region (for example from the EU/UK to the US), we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms to protect it.
6. Retention Periods
We keep email correspondence only as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable record-keeping (typically up to 24 months), then delete it. Server and security logs are retained for up to 12 months. Cookie data lasts for the durations set out in our Cookie Policy.
7. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, gives you the following rights:
- Right to Know / Access — to request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
- Right to Delete — to request that we delete personal information we hold about you, subject to legal exceptions.
- Right to Correct — to request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing — we do not sell or share your personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of.
- Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information — we do not collect or use sensitive personal information for any purpose requiring this option.
- Right to Non-Discrimination — we will not discriminate against you, or provide a lesser service, for exercising any of these rights.
Residents of the EU/UK (GDPR / UK GDPR) also have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any right, email [email protected]; we may need to verify your identity before responding.
8. Children's Data
The website is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years of age (COPPA). If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Security Measures
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the limited data we hold — including HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit, access controls and data minimisation. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
