Privacy Notice

Abdulkarim Sekta is the data controller for personal data collected through abdulkarimsekta.com. This means we decide how and why your data is used.

Data we collect and why

• Name, email, subject and preferred time from the booking form — to arrange and deliver lessons (contract performance).
• Login details (email or Google account) for staff accounts — to secure the private inbox (legitimate interests).
• Messages you send us — to answer and support you (legitimate interests).
• Technical data such as IP address, device and browser information — for security, fraud prevention and keeping the site working (legitimate interests).
• Language preference stored in your browser — to show the site in your chosen language.

Who we share data with

• Service providers that host the website, database and email delivery.
• Our secure payment provider, as Merchant of Record, for selling classes, processing payments, tax compliance and invoicing.
• Professional advisers (legal, accounting) where needed.
• Authorities where required by law.

Retention

We keep booking and payment records only as long as needed to provide lessons and meet legal and accounting obligations, then delete or anonymise them.

Your rights

You may ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, object to or restrict its use, or withdraw consent. You may also complain to your local privacy regulator (in Canada, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner). Email imamsekta@gmail.com; we respond within one month.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encrypted connections and restricted staff-only access to booking and payment records.

International transfers

Our service providers may process data outside Canada. Where this happens we rely on providers that apply appropriate safeguards.

Cookies

We use only essential browser storage (for login sessions and language preference). We do not use advertising cookies.
