Akademi gizlilik bildirimi ve koşulları

What the academy keeps

Your e-mail address, to sign you in and to send the letters listed below. Your name, which you may leave empty until the exam, because it is printed on the certificate. Your language, for the course and the letters.

Your confirmations: that you are 16 or older (a yes, never a birth date), that you accepted these terms (with their version and the time), and every later choice you make in your settings — each kept as a dated entry, so it can be shown what you agreed to and when.

Your progress: which lessons you have read and your best score in each unit’s practice quiz.

Your exam sittings: when each started and ended, the questions you were given, the answers you gave, your score and each section’s score, and whether you had extra time. The right answers are never part of what you are shown or sent.

Your certificate: its number, the name and language on it, when it was issued or renewed, until when it is valid, and whether it is active or revoked (with the team’s reason, if revoked).

Housekeeping: when you were last active, whether each letter was accepted for delivery, and the date of the one inactivity notice if it was sent. Sign-in links are stored only as a one-way hash, never as the link itself.

There is no password, no CAPTCHA and no IP address kept with your record. To stop abuse, the enrolment, sign-in and verification forms count requests under a one-way hash of the network address or e-mail address; those counters last only for their counting window (minutes) and are then deleted.

What it is used for, and what it is never used for

To run the course, sign you in, mark your practice and your exam, issue and renew your certificate, and let anybody you show it to check that it is genuine.

The academy sends only these letters: the verification or sign-in link you ask for; one welcome after you first verify your address; your result when a sitting does not pass; your certificate when it does; a renewal reminder before your certificate ends, only if you switched reminders on; and one notice before your account would be deleted for inactivity. There is no newsletter and no promotional mail.

Your data is never used for marketing, never sold and never shared with other Winglark customers, advertisers or anyone else. The learner pages (course, exam, certificate and settings) carry no analytics and no advertising tag. The public academy page is measured like the rest of the public site, and only if you agree in the consent panel (see the cookie policy).

Winglark Wings, only if you ask

Wings is Winglark’s separate partner programme. After you are certified, your settings offer one optional choice: that Winglark may contact you about Wings partner opportunities. It is off unless you switch it on, it is not asked before certification, and you can switch it off at any time. Nothing else about you reaches Wings.

If you apply to Wings yourself and give your certificate number, the application checks that the certificate is valid and belongs to the same verified e-mail address. The application keeps the number you typed even if the certificate is later deleted.

The public verification page

Anybody with a certificate number can check it at /academy/certificates/ followed by the number. The page says whether the certificate is valid, expired, revoked or unrecognised, with its dates. It shows your name only if you switch that on in your settings; otherwise it confirms the number alone. A revoked certificate shows only that it is revoked. Look-ups are rate-limited.

The practice workspace

The product lab offers a practice workspace: a Winglark workspace of your own with a demo event and test guests. It is created only when you open it. Nothing in it can leave Winglark — no e-mail, text message, payment or sync is sent from it, and every address typed into it is rewritten to end in example.invalid. Opening it signs your browser into it for 8 hours.

It is deleted, with its contents, 60 days after you last opened it, and at once if you delete your account. You can open a new one at any time, and start it again from the demo data up to 3 times a day. If you use its AI Studio, what you type there is sent to OpenAI to generate the text or images, as in any Winglark workspace; photos or videos you add are kept in Winglark’s private file store in Frankfurt until the workspace is deleted.

Who processes it for us

Vercel hosts the academy (application functions in Frankfurt, EU) and stores the practice workspace’s files. Neon hosts the database (EU). Resend delivers the academy’s e-mail; its infrastructure may be outside the EU. OpenAI is involved only if you use AI Studio in a practice workspace. The full list, with what each service touches, is on the subprocessors page under Security.

How long it is kept

An address never verified is deleted 7 days after enrolment. A sign-in link works once and for 30 minutes; spent and expired links are deleted within a day. A sign-in lasts 30 days on the device.

Inactivity: an account with no sign-in or course activity for 24 months is deleted. One notice is sent 30 days before, and the account is never deleted sooner than 30 days after that notice. Signing in or doing anything in the course in between keeps the account.

The practice workspace is deleted 60 days after it was last opened.

The certificate is valid for 24 months and stays verifiable for as long as your account exists — sitting the exam counts as activity, so it normally stays checkable for its whole validity. After it ends, the page shows it as expired until the account is deleted. When the account is deleted, by you, by the team or for inactivity, everything above is deleted with it, and the number then shows as unrecognised.

What remains after a deletion: an entry in Winglark’s internal audit trail that a learner record was deleted and by whom (you, the team or the automatic sweep), without your address or name; and, where you applied to Wings with your number, that number in the Wings application.

Karara bağlanmadıHow long deleted data can remain in the database provider’s point-in-time history and in the mail provider’s delivery logs needs to be confirmed and stated.

Your rights

In your settings you can change your name and language, switch the name on the verification page, the renewal reminder and Wings contact on or off, download everything the academy keeps about you as a file, and delete your account and all of it at once.

For anything else — a correction you cannot make yourself, a question about this notice, or an objection — write to privacy@winglark.com.

The course terms

The academy is free: the lessons, the product lab, the exam, the certificate and its renewal. There is no paid tier. It is for people 16 or older; one account per person, under your own e-mail address and, on the certificate, your own name.

The exam has 36 questions and lasts 60 minutes, counted by the server from the moment it starts (extra time, on request, makes it 1.5 times as long). It opens when every lesson is read and every unit’s practice is passed. To pass you need 80 % overall and at least 50 % in every section. A new sitting may start 30 days after the last one began, and at most 3 sittings may start in any 12 months.

Exam integrity: the exam is your own work, sat by you, without another person’s help. Do not share, publish or collect its questions. A sitting that breaks this, or a certificate obtained by deception or issued in error, may be revoked by the team.

The certificate records that you completed the course and passed the exam. It is valid for 24 months and can be renewed, keeping the same number, by passing the exam again from 90 days before it ends. A revoked certificate cannot be restored; a new one needs a new passing sitting.

No promise of work. The certificate is not an offer or a promise of work with Winglark or anyone else, does not admit you to Wings, and is not an accredited qualification. Winglark Academy is independent.

These terms carry a version (currently 2026-11-15); the version you accepted at enrolment is recorded with your account.

Karara bağlanmadıLiability, the governing law and how a material change to these terms is accepted need to be drafted and reviewed.
