Privacy Policy

Underwritten by UnLimited Konsulting Global Effective Date: June 8, 2026

Last Updated: June 8, 2026

1. Introduction & Binding Authority

Welcome to GlobalFunda Academy (the "Platform"). This Privacy Policy outlines our strict frameworks regarding the collection, processing, protection, and disclosure of personal information when you utilize our automated global online schooling ecosystem.

This Platform, its infrastructure, and its automated operations are globally underwritten, managed, and legally protected by UnLimited Konsulting Global ("the Underwriter", "We", "Us", or "Our"). GlobalFunda Academy respects the absolute privacy of every learner, parent, guardian, and teacher. We ensure that all processing activities strictly align with regional data privacy statutory provisions, including but not limited to the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) in South Africa and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) globally.

By registering an account, selecting a curriculum, or interacting with the Platform, you explicitly consent to the data processing arrangements detailed in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

To fulfill our operational commitment of real-time micro-class management and synchronized borderless education, we must collect specific categories of data during your registration funnel and ongoing platform interaction.

A. Learner / Student Data

• Identity & Onboarding Demographics: Full legal name, date of birth, age, gender, and language preferences.
• Academic Directives: Selected country, chosen curriculum path, assigned Grade level, and chosen academic subjects.
• System Profiling Data: Automated Class Name/Number assignments, complete personal timetables, attendance registers, internal assessment records, progress metrics, and AI-driven performance analytics.

B. Parent & Legal Guardian Data

• Contact Information: Full legal name, email address, physical/billing address, and verified telephone contact numbers.
• Relationship Mapping: Explicit documentation linking the parent/guardian profile to their respective student profile(s) for unified safety administration and performance reporting.
• Financial Transaction Data: Electronic travel receipts, secure tokenized payment billing histories, transaction timestamps, and payment status parameters. *Note: We do not store raw credit card or banking credentials locally; all payments are processed via certified, secured third-party payment gateways.*

C. Teacher / Educator Data

• Professional Identity & Credentials: Full legal name, professional email address, identification documents, certified academic transcripts, resume records, and subject specialties.
• Vetting Logs: Automated Teacher Competency Test score datasets (storing the mandatory \ge 85% requirement milestones) and manual assessment marks assigned to submitted Teaching Plans evaluated by the Admin Manager.
• Operational Logs: Real-time availability matrices, classroom attendance monitoring, and feedback logs submitted inside active synchronous class containers.

3. Purpose of Processing and Lawful Basis

GlobalFunda Academy and UnLimited Konsulting Global collect and process your personal data *strictly* for specified, explicit, and legitimate educational and administrative purposes. Data is never repurposed or sold.

Our explicit processing channels cover:

• Account Access & Security Integrity: Validating user identities during /login and /register phases, managing secure resets via /forgot-password, and preventing unauthorized access to school portals.
• Automated Registrar Routing: Utilizing the student’s country, curriculum, grade, and subject selections to execute our backend class allocation. This automatically assigns them to an open class container (limited strictly to between 12 and 15 students) and compiles their dynamic, time-zone-adjusted timetable.
• Learning Support & Synchronous Delivery: Displaying live-streaming states, virtual dashboards, curriculum materials, performance analytics, and diagnostic tracking parameters to enhance student learning outcomes.
• Communication Networks: Pinging real-time system alerts and dynamic webhook push *Notifications* to parents and teachers (e.g., alerting Class Managers when an active room hits its soft limit of 12 students).
• Safety, Compliance & Administration: Conducting background validation for teacher verification, processing valid transaction tokens under secure audit criteria, and managing regional compliance reporting as governed by standard corporate frameworks.

4. The Micro-Class Dynamic Allocation & Automated Capping Rules

To preserve educational privacy and secure data processing spaces, our platform isolates student and teacher interactions through an automated load-balancing framework:

1. Strict Isolation Boundaries: Students registering for a specific country, curriculum, grade, and subject are automatically pooled into restricted classroom modules. They cannot see, interact with, or access the data fields of any other running classes outside their assigned Class Name/Number.
2. Headcount Capping Visuals: The system strictly manages class sizes between a soft cap of 12 and a hard cap of 15.
3. Data Partition Spawning: The moment a class container seals (either upon the Class Manager opting to close at 12, or automatically when the 15th student commits registration), the database locks that user group. A clean, independent classroom record is spawned instantly with a pre-assigned, verified teacher. This safeguards student metadata from bleeding into overlapping cohorts.

5. Teacher Verification & Data Retention Standards

To satisfy the Platform’s strict gatekeeping conditions, teacher applicant data undergoes a distinct retention lifecycle:

• Pre-Verification Phase: Data collected during the initial registration and testing funnel (including Highest-Grade Competency Tests and Teaching Plans) is stored securely and is visible only to the Admin Manager via /admin-verification.
• Failure Retention Threshold: If an applicant fails to cross the baseline 85% automated test threshold or the 85% Admin review requirement, their data is securely archived and anonymized after a standard operational cooling period, unless regional employment laws dictate a separate retention timeline.
• Active Verification Profile: Upon full verification, the teacher’s certification logs, profile attributes, and verified status flag are retained for the complete duration of their active service contract under UnLimited Konsulting Global underwriting protocols.

6. Information Sharing, Third-Party Disclosure, and International Data Flows

GlobalFunda Academy will only share personal information with third parties under the following conditions:

• Service Providers: We share necessary data flags with trusted technical partners who maintain our infrastructure—including secure cloud hosting nodes, automated video-streaming networks, and tokenized billing gateways. These parties are contractually bound to process data under identical confidentiality agreements.
• Parental Oversight: A student’s academic analytics, class number, schedules, and behavioural metrics are fully transparent and accessible to their verified parent or legal guardian.
• Legal & Corporate Safety Compliance: We may disclose your information if required by a court order, a valid regulatory mandate from corporate governance boards, or if it is strictly necessary to preserve the physical safety of our learners and community members.
• Cross-Border Data Transmissions: Because GlobalFunda Academy is a borderless network routing classes concurrently across international borders, your data may be processed outside your home country. UnLimited Konsulting Global guarantees that all data packets transferred cross-border utilize end-to-end encrypted tunnels and land exclusively in hosting facilities that comply with global data safety benchmarks.

7. Data Protection, Security Measures, and Breach Protocols

We employ robust physical, technical, and administrative security frameworks to safeguard your data from unauthorized access, alteration, destruction, or disclosure:

• Encryption Measures: All data in transit across our portal components is guarded using industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. Passwords and authentication states are fully salted and hashed.
• Access Separation: Backend code architectures rigidly separate role privileges. Students, teachers, and administrators have strictly isolated query scopes; an authenticated user cannot call endpoints outside their designated role permissions.
• Incident Response Framework: In the highly unlikely event of a suspected data security compromise, UnLimited Konsulting Global maintains a defined Incident Response Team. Affected users and relevant data protection authorities will be formally notified within statutory timelines, accompanied by transparent remediation steps.

8. Data Subjects' Legal Rights

Depending on your geographical jurisdiction, parents, guardians, and verified teachers hold clear legal rights regarding their personal data under our management. You may exercise these at any stage by visiting your account profile settings:

• The Right to Access & Rectification: The right to request a digital copy of all personal information held in our active databases, and to correct typos or outdated profile records instantly.
• The Right to Deletion (Erasure): The right to request that an account be fully deleted from the network. Note that executing this right will result in the immediate termination of the student's enrollment status, as active data matching is mandatory to keep them attached to an operational class container and timetable.
• The Right to Restrict Processing: The right to object to specific communication loops or system notifications.
