Maxademics ("we", "our", "us") operates maxademics.com and the Canvas accessibility fixer at fix.maxademics.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information we collect
Files you upload. When you use the Canvas accessibility fixer, your file is sent to our backend (hosted on Hugging Face Spaces), processed in memory, and returned to you as a remediated file. We do not store, archive, or share uploaded files. Files are deleted from server memory immediately after the response is returned.
Newsletter sign-ups. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address via Tally.so. We use it only to send occasional updates about new tools and resources. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
