We may collect information that you provide directly, such as your name, email address, messages, forum posts, and preferences when you contact us or create an account. We may also collect technical data automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from your IP address.

How We Use Information
We use collected information to respond to your enquiries, deliver requested newsletters, moderate discussions, prevent abuse, analyze performance, and personalize parts of your experience where permitted. We may send service announcements or editorial updates, and you can opt out of non-essential messages at any time. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Cookies and Analytics
akad.edu.pl may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, maintain sessions, and measure traffic. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling them may affect some features.

Sharing and Disclosure
We may share information with service providers that help us host the website, deliver email, process communications, or maintain security. These providers receive only the data needed to perform their tasks and are expected to protect it. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a business transfer. Forum posts and other public contributions are visible to other users and should not include sensitive personal details.
Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal obligations, or to resolve disputes. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, but no internet transmission or storage method is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping any account credentials confidential.
