Privacy policy

SOI Academia is run by The Marvel — Be You, a brand of The Yours Truly Private Limited ("SOI", "we"). This page explains what we collect, why, who can see it, how long we keep it, and what you can ask us to do.

What we collect

• If you join as a creator: your name, photo, bio, category, social accounts and their follower counts, phone number, email and address (district and address line).
• If you join as a brand: your company's name, logo and products, the contact person's name and role, phone, email, office address and website.
• When you report a payment: the bKash transaction ID (TrxID), the amount and, if you add them, the number you paid from and a screenshot. Payments are made by bKash in your own app; we never ask for your PIN or card details.
• What you do here: the classes you watch (for attendance and completion), your case study entries and results, your messages in chat and to SOI, and comments.

Photos you upload are re-encoded, which removes location and camera details from them.

Why we use it

• To run your account, your enrollments and your seat in live classes.
• To check payments and send receipts.
• To judge case studies and publish the results.
• To introduce creators to brands, through SOI.
• To tell you about your classes, payments and results, by email and on the site.

Who sees what

• Your public profile (photo, name, category, bio, followers, social accounts, badges, judged campaigns, and what brands wrote about working with you) is visible to signed-in members, approved brands, the juries that judge your entries, and SOI's team.
• Your phone number, email and address are visible only to the SOI staff who need them. Brands, other creators and the public never see them.
• Your payment reports are visible only to you and SOI's payments team.
• While you watch a class, the video shows your name and part of your phone number, to discourage copying.

Sharing with The Marvel — Be You

If you agreed to it when you joined, SOI may share your profile with The Marvel — Be You's other platforms, such as the Flex app and the Marvel Tech Platform. Write to us to change your mind.

Cookies and analytics

We use a cookie to keep you signed in. We don't use advertising trackers, and our visitor statistics don't use cookies. Forms are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, and an error monitoring service tells us when something on the site breaks.

How long we keep it

• Payment screenshots: 24 months.
• Chat messages: 12 months.
• The record of what SOI's staff change: 24 months.
• Your account: until you ask us to delete it. A deleted account is anonymised, and its payment records are kept for accounting.

Your choices

You can see and change your profile at any time. You can ask for your account to be deleted from Settings. For anything else about your data, write to us through the contact page.
