This Privacy Policy explains how AP Lab Academy (the "Service"), operated by APlab ("we", "us", or "our"), collects, uses, and protects personal information in connection with our website at https://www.aplab.academy and related services.
Information We Collect
- Account Information: When you sign in via Google OAuth, we receive your name, email address, and profile image from Google. Within our system, we may also maintain your role and subscription fields (e.g., subscription status and end date) to determine access to premium features.
- Authentication Data: We use session cookies and tokens provided by NextAuth.js to keep you signed in and to secure your session.
