How Beyond School Futures Academy collects, uses and protects the information you share with us.
This policy accurately describes how the platform currently works, but it has not yet been reviewed by a legal advisor. BSFA should confirm it against applicable data protection law, add the academy's registered operating details, and remove this notice before launch.
Last updated: 9 August 2026
Beyond School Futures Academy™ ("BSFA", "we", "us") operates this website and digital learning platform. If you have any question about this policy or about your information, contact us at admin@beyondschoolfutures.com or through our contact page.
When you create an account: your name, email address and a password. Your password is never stored in a readable form — it is converted into a secure one-way hash, which means nobody at BSFA can see or recover it.
When you complete your profile (optional): a phone number, a short biography and a profile photo, if you choose to add them.
As you learn: which programmes you are enrolled in, which lessons you have marked complete, your overall progress in each course, your quiz attempts and scores, and any certificates issued to you.
When you contact us: your name, email address, optional phone number and the content of your message.
When you subscribe to our newsletter: your email address, and whether your subscription is active.
Automatically: a session cookie that keeps you logged in as you move between pages. We do not currently run third-party advertising or analytics trackers on this website.
We use your information to create and secure your account, to deliver the programmes you enrol in and record your progress, to issue your certificates, to reply when you contact us, and to send you the newsletter if you have asked for it.
We keep a record of people who have been in touch with us — an enquiry, a subscription, a registration — so that our team can respond properly and know the history of a conversation rather than starting from nothing each time.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
There are three kinds. Account emails — verifying your email address when you register, and a welcome message once you have. Newsletters — only if you subscribed, and every one carries a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom. Replies — when you have written to us and a member of the team responds.
Unsubscribing from the newsletter never affects your learning account, and never stops essential account emails.
BSFA serves families, and some of our learners are children. We ask that a parent or guardian sets up, approves and oversees an account for any learner under 18.
We collect no more from a young learner than we do from any other account holder — a name, an email address and their learning progress — and learner information is never used for advertising. A parent or guardian may contact us at any time to ask what information we hold about their child, to correct it, or to have the account and its data deleted.
Passwords are stored only as secure one-way hashes. Login sessions use cookies that cannot be read by scripts in your browser and, on our live site, are only sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Access to learning content is restricted to enrolled learners, and administrative areas are restricted to authorised BSFA staff accounts.
No system can promise perfect security, but we treat the protection of family and learner information as a core design principle rather than an afterthought.
Online payments are not currently processed on this website, and we do not collect or store card numbers, mobile-money credentials or bank details through it. When online payment is introduced, it will be handled by an established payment provider, this policy will be updated before that happens, and card details will be entered with the provider rather than stored by BSFA.
We keep your account and learning records for as long as your account is open, so that your progress, history and certificates remain available to you. If you ask us to close your account, we delete your personal information, except anything we are required to retain by law.
Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. We keep a record of the unsubscribe itself so that we do not accidentally email you again.
You may ask us to show you what information we hold about you, correct anything inaccurate, delete your account and its data, or stop sending you marketing email. You can update much of this yourself from your profile page, and for anything else, write to us and we will act on your request.
If we change how we handle your information — for example when payments or new features go live — we will update this page and change the "last updated" date above.
