4. We take extra precautions for our younger learners as described in our Children’s Privacy Notice, including restricting child accounts to automatically block features that would allow a child to post or disclose personal information.
5. We do not display advertising on ATFA Academy. Our mission is to provide you with a world-class education, not to sell you products.
