DecisionForge Academy Privacy Policy

DecisionForge Academy

Effective Date: August 27, 2026

DecisionForge Academy (“DecisionForge”, “DecisionForge Academy”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is an education and professional-development platform operated by 6941001 Canada Inc., operating as XIPE-SEC.

This Privacy Policy applies to DecisionForge Academy and the applications, websites, study tools, certification-preparation products, educational services, and related digital products that we make available under the DecisionForge and DecisionForge Academy brands (collectively, the “Services”).

Individual Services may provide additional privacy notices where their functionality or data practices differ materially from those described here.

1. Our Privacy Approach

DecisionForge Academy is designed to minimize the amount of personal information required to use our Services.

Where practical, study activity, progress, preferences, and related information are stored locally on the user’s device rather than transmitted to DecisionForge.

We do not sell personal information.

2. Information Stored on Your Device

Depending on the Service you use, DecisionForge applications may store information locally on your device, including:

• Study progress

• Quiz and examination progress

• Practice-session history

• Flashcard confidence ratings

• Saved or difficult questions

• Study schedules

• Target examination dates

• Learning preferences

• Application settings

• Training history

• Locally generated performance information

This information is used to provide learning, progress-tracking, personalization, and study-management features.

Unless a specific Service expressly states otherwise, DecisionForge does not currently operate a cloud synchronization or user-account service for this locally stored study information.

Because locally stored information resides on your device, uninstalling an application, clearing application data, resetting or replacing a device, or certain operating-system actions may permanently remove it.

3. Purchases and Subscriptions

Some DecisionForge Academy Services may require payment or an active subscription.

Purchases and subscriptions offered through third-party application stores, including Google Play and the Apple App Store, are processed by those platforms.

Depending on the Service and platform, DecisionForge applications may communicate with the applicable application store to:

• Display available products or subscription plans

• Display localized pricing

• Initiate purchases

• Determine whether a valid purchase or subscription is active

• Restore or recheck an existing purchase or subscription

• Provide access to purchased content or Services

DecisionForge does not receive or store your complete payment-card information when payments are processed through an application store.

Payment processing, renewals, cancellations, billing failures, refunds, receipts, and related transaction information are also subject to the applicable platform’s terms and privacy policies.

4. Information You Provide to Us

You may choose to provide information when contacting DecisionForge Academy, including:

• Name

• Email address

• Support messages

• Product feedback

• Screenshots

• Device or operating-system information

• Information about an application issue

• Suggestions regarding educational content

• Other information you voluntarily provide

We use this information to respond to requests, provide support, investigate problems, improve our Services, maintain content quality, and operate our business.

5. Educational and Study Information

DecisionForge Services may generate information about your interaction with learning material, including results, progress, confidence levels, practice history, or study patterns.

Where this information is stored only on your device, DecisionForge does not receive it.

If a future Service introduces cloud synchronization, accounts, online assessments, artificial-intelligence features, or other functionality requiring information to be transmitted to DecisionForge or a service provider, that Service will provide appropriate disclosure before or when such processing is introduced.

6. Artificial Intelligence Features

Some current or future DecisionForge Academy Services may include artificial-intelligence-assisted educational functionality.

Where an AI-powered feature sends information to a remote service, DecisionForge will provide appropriate disclosure regarding the information transmitted and the purpose for which it is used.

DecisionForge will seek to limit information sent to AI services to what is reasonably necessary to provide the requested functionality.

Users should not submit confidential, proprietary, sensitive personal, or regulated information into an AI-powered feature unless the Service expressly indicates that doing so is appropriate.

7. Analytics

DecisionForge Academy may use limited analytics in current or future Services to understand application reliability, adoption, usage patterns, or feature performance.

Where analytics are used, we will seek to collect only information reasonably necessary to improve and operate the Service.

We will update this Privacy Policy or provide an app-specific notice if our analytics practices materially change.

8. Advertising

DecisionForge Academy Services do not currently rely on third-party behavioural advertising as part of the core business model.

If advertising is introduced into a particular Service in the future, appropriate disclosures and user choices will be provided as required.

9. Sharing of Information

DecisionForge does not sell personal information.

We may disclose or process information through service providers where reasonably necessary to operate our Services, including providers involved in:

• Application distribution

• Payment processing

• Cloud infrastructure

• Customer support

• Email communications

• Security

• Artificial intelligence functionality

• Application development or monitoring

Service providers are expected to process information only for appropriate business purposes and subject to applicable contractual or legal requirements.

We may also disclose information:

• Where required by law or legal process

• To protect users, DecisionForge, or others

• To investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents

• In connection with a corporate transaction, restructuring, acquisition, or sale

• Where otherwise permitted or required by applicable law

10. Data Retention

Information stored locally on your device generally remains there until:

• You remove it using application functionality

• Application data is cleared

• The application is uninstalled

• The device is reset or replaced

• The operating system removes the information

Support communications and business records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to requests

• Investigate issues

• Maintain appropriate records

• Resolve disputes

• Protect legal rights

• Comply with legal obligations

Application stores and other service providers retain information according to their own applicable policies.

11. Security

DecisionForge Academy uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the Services and the information we handle.

No electronic system, device, network, or method of storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Children

DecisionForge Academy is primarily intended for professional education, certification preparation, continuing education, and career development.

Unless a particular Service expressly states otherwise, our Services are not directed toward children under 13.

13. International Processing

DecisionForge Academy may make Services available internationally.

Application stores, cloud providers, AI providers, and other service providers may process information in countries other than the country in which you reside.

Such processing is subject to applicable law and the service provider’s contractual and privacy obligations.

14. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, privacy law may provide rights regarding personal information, which may include rights to:

• Request access

• Request correction

• Request deletion

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

• Object to certain processing

• Request information regarding our privacy practices

These rights may be subject to legal limitations and exceptions.

Requests may be submitted using the contact information below.

15. Third-Party Services

DecisionForge Academy Services may interact with third-party platforms, including application stores, websites, educational resources, or other services.

Your use of those services may be governed by separate terms and privacy policies.

DecisionForge is not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third parties.

16. Changes to this Privacy Policy

DecisionForge Academy may update this Privacy Policy as:

• Our Services evolve

• New applications are introduced

• New technologies are adopted

• Business practices change

• Legal or regulatory requirements change

The effective date at the top of this document identifies the latest revision.

Where required, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
