Privacy Policy
Last updated: 18 October 2026
Super You Academy ("we", "us") makes animated learning videos for young children at superyou.academy and on our YouTube channel @superyouacademy. This policy explains which data we collect, why, where it is stored and how you can have it deleted.
Controller: Nikolas Gerlich, Meilen, Switzerland. Contact: [email protected].
1. Who gives us data
Our service is used by parents and other adults. Children do not use the ordering pages and we do not ask children for any data. A parent may enter a child's first name and choose how the child's superhero looks. We do not collect photos, birthdays, addresses or any other information about the child.
2. What we collect
- Hero choices: the first name (or nickname) shown on the hero's name tag, the hero's look (skin tone, hair, clothes, cape, colours), the language of the episodes and, for one-child orders, the animal friend.
- Order data: the product, an order code and the time of the order.
- Email address: only if you give it to us, to deliver your episodes, to confirm a sign-up (double opt-in) or to answer you.
- Technical data: IP address and browser type when you submit a form, to prevent abuse.
- Payment: payments are processed by our reseller Lemon Squeezy (Merchant of Record). We never see or store card details. See the Lemon Squeezy privacy policy.
3. How we use it
- To make your personalized episodes: our software draws your hero with the chosen look and name and renders the videos.
- To deliver them: see section 4.
- To send you the link and to answer support requests.
We do not sell data, do not use it for advertising and do not build profiles.
4. YouTube API Services
We use YouTube API Services to deliver personalized episodes. After your order, our server uploads your episodes to our own YouTube channel as unlisted videos marked "made for kids", adds them to an unlisted playlist made for your order and sends you the playlist link. Only people who have the link can find the videos.
- We do not ask you to sign in with Google or YouTube and we do not access your YouTube or Google account or any data in it.
- The only data we send to YouTube are the videos themselves (which show the hero's first name on the name tag) and a neutral title such as "Letter E | The Enchanted Forest". We do not put the child's name in titles, descriptions or tags.
- From YouTube we keep only the IDs of the videos and the playlist for your order, so we can send you the link and delete the videos on request.
By watching the episodes on YouTube you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's handling of data on YouTube is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
5. Where data is stored
Order and hero data are stored with Cloudflare (database and website hosting) and on our own render server in Switzerland. Videos are stored on YouTube (Google). Some of these providers may process data outside Switzerland, under the safeguards required by Swiss data protection law.
Our website loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google servers.
6. How long we keep it and how to delete it
- Hero choices and order data: as long as your episodes are available, then deleted.
- Email for a newsletter or sample: until you unsubscribe.
- Records we must keep by law (for example for accounting) are kept by Lemon Squeezy as Merchant of Record.
Deletion: email us at [email protected] with your order code. Within 30 days we delete your hero data and order data and delete your episodes and playlist from YouTube. You can also ask what data we hold about you and have it corrected.
7. Cookies
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. If you save a hero, it is stored in your own browser so you can come back to it.
8. Your rights
Under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where it applies, the EU GDPR, you can ask for access, correction, deletion and a copy of your data, and you can object to processing. You can also complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or your local authority.
9. Changes
If we change this policy we update the date above and, for material changes, tell customers by email.
