1. Introduction & Overview
Tech2U ("we", "our", or "us") develops Kuzi Academy: Forex Trading (package: com.tech2u.kuziacademy), an offline-first educational application designed to teach institutional price delivery concepts, market structure, liquidity engineering, order blocks, fair value gaps, and professional risk execution models.
This Privacy Policy outlines how Kuzi Academy handles information, user privacy, and advertising compliance under international data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR - EU/UK), Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA), and Google Play Developer Policies.
2. Data Collection & Zero PII Architecture
Kuzi Academy is built upon a strict Data Minimization and Zero Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Architecture. All educational course material, 15 complete modules, institutional blueprints, and trade planning tools are stored locally on your device.
- No Account Registration: You are never required to provide a name, email address, phone number, or password to use any part of the application.
- No Financial Data Transmitted: The in-app Position Sizing Calculator operates entirely offline in local device memory. No account balances, trade executions, or financial credentials are ever collected, stored on external servers, or transmitted.
- Offline Local Storage: Module reading completion, quiz scores, and theme preferences are saved locally on your device using
SharedPreferences. You can completely wipe or reset this data at any time via Settings & Privacy > Reset Learning Progress.
3. Advertising & Google User Messaging Platform (UMP)
To provide all 15 institutional curriculum modules and calculators 100% free with zero paywalls or subscriptions, Kuzi Academy utilizes Google AdMob to display non-intrusive advertisements (banners and occasional interstitial transitions between study sessions).
Google UMP SDK & Consent Management
We strictly implement Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK certified by the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF v2.2):
- Users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland are presented with a consent dialogue prior to ad serving.
- No personalized ads are served without explicit user opt-in consent.
- On-Demand Consent Revocation (GDPR Article 7(3)): You can modify or withdraw your consent choices at any time by navigating to Settings & Privacy > Privacy Preferences inside the application.
4. Android Permissions & Battery Conservation
Kuzi Academy requires only minimal system permissions required for operation:
- INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Used solely to load AdMob advertisements and verify network connectivity.
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS: Used exclusively for voluntary 08:00 AM morning trading discipline and market preparation reminders prior to the New York session open. This can be toggled on or off at any time in Settings.
- Exact Alarm Policy Compliance: Kuzi Academy strictly complies with Google Play exact alarm policies by avoiding
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARMandUSE_EXACT_ALARMpermissions, utilizing inexact background scheduling to conserve device battery.
5. Educational Disclaimer & Third-Party Partner Links
Kuzi Academy is strictly an educational tool designed to teach institutional chart analysis and market mechanics. Nothing in the Application constitutes financial, investment, or trading advice. Trading foreign exchange (Forex), CFDs, and financial markets involves substantial risk of capital loss.
The Application may feature informational links to regulated multi-asset brokers (such as HFM). When you tap an external link, you leave Kuzi Academy and are governed by that third party's privacy policy and terms.
