Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information Sûka handles, why it is used, and the limited ways it is shared when you browse courses, sign in, subscribe, and use downloads or learning features.
Last updated: August 4, 2026
Information we collect
Sûka collects only the information it needs to run your account, deliver course access, and operate memberships. You can browse without signing in, and we do not ask for more than the service uses.
- Account details such as your name, email address, profile image, account status, and sign-in provider details when you authenticate with Google.
- Membership and billing records such as plan tier, subscription status, PayPal subscription identifiers, renewal dates, scheduled plan changes, and monthly download-allowance usage.
- Product activity such as the courses and learning paths in your library, your per-lesson progress and resume points, and completion state.
- A device identifier generated by your browser, used only to enforce the number of devices that can play video at the same time on one membership.
- Certificate records created when you complete a course or path, including a snapshot of your name and email at the time it was issued.
- Support information you send us directly by email.
- Technical session data required to keep you signed in and remember basic interface preferences.
How we use your information
We use the data above only to operate and improve the service you are using.
- Authenticate you, keep your session active, and personalize your dashboard.
- Store your library, watch progress, and course-download state across visits.
- Process subscriptions, confirm payment state, apply membership access rules, and enforce monthly download limits.
- Enforce the simultaneous-playback limit that comes with your plan, using the device identifier described above.
- Issue certificates you have earned and make them verifiable by code.
- Troubleshoot issues, respond to support requests, and protect the service against misuse.
Files, playback, and storage
Downloaded course files and related metadata are stored so they can be streamed, resumed, and re-used inside the app without repeating the same processing every time.
- Course and lesson records are stored in the application database.
- Media files may be stored in object storage and served through temporary access URLs for playback or downloads.
- Temporary working files may exist briefly while a download, upload, or archive job is being processed.
- A prepared course archive may be cached and reused for later downloads until the course changes, so the same file is not rebuilt each time.
- Course libraries are shared across the service rather than stored per person: your account records which courses are in your library and how far you have watched, not a private copy of the files.
Data stored on your device
Some information stays in your own browser and is never sent to us as personal data.
- Sûka can be installed as an app, and a service worker caches pages and interface assets on your device so it keeps working offline.
- Player preferences such as volume and mute are saved in your browser's local storage.
- You can clear this at any time from your browser settings, or by uninstalling the app.
Cookies and similar technologies
Sûka currently uses essential cookies and local browser state for product operation rather than advertising or analytics tracking.
- Authentication and session cookies are used to sign you in and keep protected pages available during your session.
- A basic preference cookie may be used for interface state, such as remembering the sidebar state in the dashboard.
When information is shared
We share information only with service providers involved in operating the app or when required by law.
- Google may process sign-in data when you choose Google authentication.
- PayPal processes subscription checkout, plan changes, cancellations, and billing events. We store the identifiers PayPal returns, never your card or bank details.
- Infrastructure and storage providers may process hosted files and service logs needed to run the product.
- Certificates you earn have a public verification page reachable by their verification code. That page shows the certificate title, your name, and the issue date. Your email address is never shown on it.
- We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Retention and security
We keep information for as long as it is needed to operate your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain service records. We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect account, billing, and stored course data, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Deleting your account
You can delete your Sûka account yourself from Dashboard → Settings. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
- If you have an active membership, billing is stopped with PayPal first. If that cannot be confirmed, the deletion is cancelled so you are not left paying for a removed account.
- Your account record is then removed along with everything attached to it: your membership record, your library, your lesson progress, your download-allowance history, your active playback sessions, and your certificates.
- Because course files are shared across the service rather than owned by one account, the underlying course library itself is not removed when your account is.
- PayPal keeps its own transaction records under its own policy, and we may retain limited billing records where the law requires it.
Your choices
You control how much of the service you use and how long we keep your data.
- You can browse without signing in, but memberships, streaming, downloads, saved progress, and certificates require an account.
- You can cancel your membership at any time from Dashboard → Settings; you keep access until the period you already paid for ends.
- You can delete your account and its data as described above.
- You can ask us what data we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, by email.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the service changes. When we do, we update the date shown above. Continuing to use Sûka after an update means the revised policy applies to you.
