Athar (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal information when you visit our website, create an account, enroll in courses, book consultations, use Athar Tools, or otherwise interact with our Services.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use Athar, we may collect:

• Communication data: messages you send through contact forms, support requests, reviews, or feedback.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring URLs, and cookies or similar technologies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

• Create and manage your Athar account

• Process payments, invoices, refunds, and enrollments
• Send service updates, booking confirmations, and important account notices
• Personalize course recommendations and improve our platform experience
• Respond to support requests and community inquiries
• Monitor platform security, prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms and Conditions
• Analyze usage trends to enhance content quality for the Arab learning community

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Athar uses cookies and similar tools to keep you signed in, remember preferences, measure performance, and understand how learners use our Services. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may limit certain features, such as staying logged in or saving search preferences.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only in these cases:

• Service providers: trusted partners who help with payments, hosting, email delivery, analytics, or customer support, under confidentiality obligations.
• Mentors and instructors: limited booking or enrollment details needed to deliver consultations or course sessions.
• Legal requirements: when required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect Athar, our users, or the public.
• Business transfers: if Athar is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing Services, meeting legal and accounting requirements, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. When information is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it where reasonably possible.

6. Data Security

Athar uses administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No online platform can guarantee absolute security, so we encourage you to use a strong password and keep your account credentials confidential.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Subject to applicable law, you may request to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Delete your account or certain personal data
• Object to or restrict certain processing activities
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Opt out of non-essential marketing emails at any time

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

8. Children’s Privacy

Athar is intended for learners who can create an account under applicable law. If a parent or guardian believes a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to review and remove the information where required.

9. International Transfers

Athar may process and store information on servers or with service providers located in different countries. Where data is transferred internationally, we take steps reasonably designed to ensure appropriate safeguards consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external sites or tools. Athar is not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, legal requirements, or operational practices.
