Privacy Policy

This page is maintained by Property Sharks Ltd to explain how Property Sharks Academy handles your personal data. It is editable app-owner content and not an independent certification.

Who we are

Property Sharks Academy ("we", "us", "our") is operated by Property Sharks Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales. We are the data controller for personal data processed through the Property Sharks Academy platform at propertysharksacademy.com. For any privacy request contact propertysharksacademy@gmail.com.

Data we collect

  • Account details: name, email, password hash, profile photo, username.
  • Billing details: processed by Stripe. We store subscription status and receipts; card numbers never touch our servers.
  • Programme data: onboarding answers, coaching notes, deal analyses, CRM entries, uploaded documents and messages you send inside the platform.
  • Usage data: pages viewed, features used, device and browser info, IP address and approximate location.
  • Communications: emails, in-app messages and support requests you send to us.
  • Cookies and similar technologies (see Cookies below).

How we use your data

  • Provide, maintain and improve the platform and your membership.
  • Deliver mentorship, coaching, community access and AI-assisted tooling.
  • Process payments, manage subscriptions and prevent fraud.
  • Send service emails (account, billing, security) and — with your consent — marketing.
  • Analyse usage to improve features, fix bugs and prioritise the roadmap.
  • Comply with legal, tax and regulatory obligations.

Legal bases (UK GDPR)

  • Contract — to deliver the membership you signed up for.
  • Legitimate interests — to secure, improve and market the service in a proportionate way.
  • Consent — for optional marketing emails and non-essential cookies. You can withdraw at any time.
  • Legal obligation — for tax, accounting and lawful requests from authorities.

Sharing & subprocessors

We do not sell your data. We share it only with vetted processors who help us run the platform:

  • Stripe — payments and subscription management.
  • Hosting, database, authentication and file storage providers used to run the platform.
  • Email delivery and customer-support tooling.
  • Analytics and product-usage tools used to measure and improve the service.
  • AI providers used to power in-app assistants (only the content you send to those features is transmitted).
  • Professional advisers and authorities where required by law.

International transfers

Some subprocessors are located outside the UK/EEA. Where that happens we rely on UK-approved safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the UK Addendum.

Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal obligations (typically 6 years for financial records) and resolve disputes. When you close your account we delete or anonymise your data within a reasonable period, except where we are legally required to keep it.

Your rights

  • Access a copy of your personal data.
  • Rectify inaccurate data.
  • Erase your data (subject to legal exceptions).
  • Restrict or object to certain processing.
  • Data portability for data you provided.
  • Withdraw consent at any time for consent-based processing.
  • Complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

To exercise any of these rights email propertysharksacademy@gmail.com.

Cookies

We use essential cookies for login, security and preferences. With your consent we may also use analytics and marketing cookies to measure performance and reach. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Children

Property Sharks Academy is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures — including encryption in transit, access controls and audit logging — to protect your data. No online service can guarantee absolute security; if we ever become aware of a breach affecting you we will notify you and the ICO as required by law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes we will update the version and date above and, where appropriate, notify you inside the platform or by email.
