Cookies

We use cookies that are necessary for the site and learning platform to work, such as keeping you logged in. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. Where required by law, such as in the European Union and United Kingdom, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not work properly.

We use your information to:

• Create and manage your account
• Provide courses, track progress, and issue certificates or badges
• Respond to your messages and requests
• Keep the site secure and prevent spam and misuse
• Understand how the site is used so we can improve it

If you live in the European Union or United Kingdom, we process your personal information based on:

• Contract: to provide the account and courses you sign up for
• Consent: for non-essential cookies and optional communications, which you can withdraw at any time
• Legitimate interests: to keep the site secure and improve it
• Legal obligations: when the law requires us to keep or share information

We use trusted third-party services to run the site, including:

• Website and LMS hosting providers
• Moodle, the learning platform used for courses
• Analytics tools
• Email services
• Security and spam protection tools

These providers receive only the information they need to perform their services and are not allowed to use it for their own purposes.

Ahmed MC is based in the United States, so your information may be stored and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. When information about EU or UK users is transferred, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the providers' standard contractual clauses.

We keep your personal information only as long as needed to provide the site and courses, keep the site secure, and meet legal requirements. Account and course records are kept while your account is active. When you ask us to delete your account, your personal information will be deleted unless we are legally required to keep it.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Delete your information
• Receive a copy of your information in a portable format
• Object to or limit certain processing
• Withdraw your consent at any time
• File a complaint with your local data protection authority

To make a request, contact us using the email in the Contact section below. We will respond within the time required by law and will never treat you differently for exercising your rights.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, such as encrypted connections (HTTPS), to protect your information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

The site may link to other websites, such as LinkedIn or GitHub. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites, so please review their privacy policies.

The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Users between 13 and 18 (or the age of majority where they live) should use the site only with a parent's or guardian's permission. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, please contact us and it will be deleted.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. When it is, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will change. For significant changes, a notice will be posted on the site.
