This policy explains what personal information Bearilly (https://www.bearilly.name.ng) collects, why, who we share it with and what choices you have. Bearilly is run by the Bearilly team.

1. Information we collect

• Learning activity: the track you chose, lessons you finished, quiz and test results, assignments you submit, bookmarks and favourites.
• Payment records: your payment reference, amount, email and the track you bought. Card details are handled by Paystack and are never stored by us.
• AI Tutor: the messages you send to the AI Tutor, and how many you send each day.
• Technical data: the information your browser sends when you visit any website, and the cookies described below.

2. How we use it

• To create your account, let you log in and unlock the track you paid for.
• To run quizzes, tests and assignments, show your progress and give feedback.
• To confirm payments, prevent fraud and fix problems.
• To answer your questions and send messages about your account, such as password resets.
• To keep the platform secure and improve it.

3. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We use these service providers to run Bearilly:

• Supabase for our database and login.
• Paystack to take and confirm payments.
• Groq and Google (Gemini): your AI Tutor messages are sent to them to produce answers. Please do not put sensitive personal information into the AI Tutor.
• Vercel to host the website.

Some of these providers may process information outside Nigeria. We may also share information if the law requires it.

4. Cookies

We use cookies that are needed to keep you logged in. We do not currently use advertising cookies. If we add analytics, we will update this policy.

5. How long we keep it

We keep your information while your account is open and for as long as we need it for legal, accounting and security reasons. You can ask us to delete your account.

6. Your rights

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 you can ask to see the information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or object to how we use it. To do so, email support@bearilly.name.ng. We may need to confirm who you are first.

7. Children

Many of our students are under 18. A parent or guardian should help a child register and should agree to this policy and our Terms of Usefor them. A parent or guardian can contact us at any time to see, correct or delete a child's information.
