Arkified ("we," "us," "our") operates the Residential Design Academy (AC001) course, including its Founders Access offer, and related content across our website, social media channels, and community spaces. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By enrolling in our course, joining our email list, or otherwise interacting with Arkified, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, including:
- Your full name and email address, including when you join our waitlist
- Your role or background (e.g., architecture student, engineering student, homeowner), collected during enrollment to help us understand who we're teaching
- Payment-related information, processed through our third-party payment processor (see Section 3)
- Any messages you send us through our contact channels or community spaces
We may also automatically collect limited technical information (such as device type, browser, and general location) through standard website and social media analytics tools, to help us understand how our content and course page are performing.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To send your classroom invitation and course access details after payment is confirmed
- To communicate with you about your enrollment, including reminders, support, and updates
- To send occasional emails about new modules, lessons, bonuses, or related offers, which you may unsubscribe from at any time
- To improve our course content and marketing based on aggregated, non-identifying trends
- To respond to questions or requests sent through our contact channels
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
3. Payment Processing
All payments for the Residential Design Academy are processed through PayMongo, a licensed third-party payment processor. Arkified does not collect or store your full card, GCash, or other payment credentials directly — these are handled securely by PayMongo under its own privacy and security practices.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not share your personal information with third parties except:
- With service providers who help us operate the course and process payments (e.g., PayMongo, our email and classroom platform providers), solely to perform services on our behalf
- If required by law, regulation, or valid legal process
- With your consent
5. Community Spaces
If you choose to join our Discord community or similar spaces, please note that anything you post there may be visible to other members. Community participation is optional and separate from your course enrollment.
6. Cookies & Analytics
Our website and social media pages may use cookies or similar tracking technologies (including those provided by platforms such as Meta/Facebook and TikTok) to understand traffic and improve our content. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide you with course access (which, for Founders Access, is lifetime access), respond to inquiries, and comply with our legal obligations. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Section 9).
8. Your Rights
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), you have the right to:
- Be informed about how your data is processed
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct any inaccurate data
- Object to or withdraw consent for certain uses of your data
- Request deletion of your data, subject to our legal and contractual obligations
