Privacy Policy
The privacy policy covers our data collection practices and describes your rights regarding your personal data.
By using our services, you agree to the terms of this privacy policy. You should not use the services if you do not agree to this privacy policy or any other agreements governing your use of the services.
What data do we collect?
We collect certain data from you directly, such as information you enter yourself, data about your consumption of content, and data from external platforms you connect with Qaf Academy. We also collect some data automatically. All data listed in this section is subject to the following processing activities: collection, recording, structuring, storage, alteration, retrieval, encryption, pseudonymization, erasure, aggregation, and transmission.
The Data You Provide Us
We may collect various data from you or about you depending on how you use the services. Here are some examples to help you understand the data we collect better.
When you create an account and use the services, including through an external platform, we collect any data you provide directly.
How We Obtain Data About You
We use tools such as cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect the aforementioned data. Some of these tools provide you with the ability to opt out of data collection.
Cookies & Data Collection Tools
We use cookies, which are small text files stored by your browser, to collect data about your activities and store and share it across websites, including on Qaf Academy. They allow us to remember things about your visits to Qaf Academy, such as your preferred language, and make the site easier to use. To learn more about cookies, please visit https://cookiepedia.co.uk/all-about-cookies We may also use clear pixel tags in email messages to track delivery rates and open rates.
Qaf Academy and service providers working on our behalf (such as Google Analytics and third-party affiliate advertisers) use server log files and automated data collection tools such as cookies, tags, scripts, custom links, device or browser fingerprints, and web beacons (together, “Data Collection Tools”) when accessing and using the services. These data collection tools automatically track and collect certain system data and usage data (as detailed in section 1) when using the services. In some cases, we link the data collected through these data collection tools with other data we collect as outlined in this privacy policy.
Why We Use Your Data
We use your data to perform actions such as providing our services, communicating with you, identifying and resolving issues, securing against fraud and misuse, improving and updating our services, analyzing how people use our services, providing targeted advertising, and as required by law or necessary for safety and integrity purposes. We retain your data as long as it is needed for the purposes for which it was collected.
Who We Share Your Data With
We share certain data about you with trainers, other students, companies providing services to us, subsidiaries of Qaf Academy, our business partners, analytics and data enrichment providers, social media platforms, companies helping us manage promotional offers and surveys, and advertising companies helping us promote our services. We may also share your data as needed for security, legal compliance, or as part of corporate restructuring. Finally, we may share data in other ways if it is aggregated or de-identified or if we obtain your consent.
Security
We use appropriate security based on the type and sensitivity of the stored data. As with any internet-supported system, there is always a risk of unauthorized access, so it is important to protect your password and contact us if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.
Qaf Academy takes appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to your personal data that we collect, store, alter, disclose, or destroy. These measures vary depending on the type and sensitivity of the data. Unfortunately, no system can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee that communications between you and Qaf Academy or the services or any information provided to us regarding the data we collect through the services will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. Your password is an important part of our security system, and it is your responsibility to protect it. You should not share your password with any third party, and if you believe your password or account has been compromised, you should change it immediately and contact our support team with any concerns.
Your Rights
You have certain rights regarding the use of your data, including the ability to unsubscribe from promotional emails and cookies and to opt-out of certain third-party data collection. You can update or terminate your account from within our services, and you can also contact us for individual rights requests regarding your personal data. Parents who believe we have collected personal data about their minor child unintentionally should contact us for assistance in deleting that information.
Updates and Contact Information
When we make material changes to this policy, we will notify users via email, product notification, or any other mechanism required by law. The changes become effective on the day they are published. Please contact us via email or regular mail with any questions, concerns, or disputes.
Modifications to this Privacy Policy
From time to time, we may update this privacy policy. If we make any material changes to it, we will notify you via email, through a notice posted on the services, or as required by applicable law. We will also include a summary of the key changes. Unless otherwise stated, the amended privacy policy will be effective on the day it is published. Subject to applicable law, if you continue to use the services after the effective date of any changes, your access and/or use will be deemed acceptance (and agreement to abide by) of the revised privacy policy. The revised privacy policy replaces all previous privacy policies.
