We may collect information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the referrer page, the pages of our site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.

We may also use a third-party service to help us determine your country and city (which may not be accurate) based on your IP address. This information helps us identify you as a student or instructor on our website. With your account, you can learn from our online courses, and if you're an instructor, you can upload your own courses to our website.

User Profile Collection and Usage

At Mefth, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This section outlines how we collect and use user profile information, including images, within our Mefth application:

1. Collection of User Profile Information: When you create an account on Mefth, you have the option to provide certain personal information, such as your name and email address. The collection of profile information, including images, is entirely optional and is only done if you explicitly choose to provide this information. After account creation, you have the option to add a profile picture at your discretion.
2. Usage of User Profile Information: The profile information you provide, including images, is used solely to enhance your experience within the Mefth application.

Additionally, your profile picture may be incorporated into feedback and comments you provide within the app.
3. Protection of User Profile Information: We understand the sensitivity of personal information and take appropriate measures to safeguard the security and confidentiality of your profile information, including images. We do not share your profile information with any third parties without your explicit consent, except as required by law or as necessary to provide the services you have requested.

When You Pay Using Your Credit Card

Security

The security of your personal information, including your name and the email you provided for newsletter subscriptions, is paramount to us. We use this information to deliver tailored newsletters and grant you access to our restricted pages. Rest assured, all information shared with us is treated with the utmost confidentiality.

Should you wish to delete the data we have collected from you, we offer convenient options:

For newsletter subscriptions, you can unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time, and this action will permanently remove your subscription data from our records.

Handling Deleted Accounts

1. Retention Period and Data Deletion: When a user decides to delete their account, we retain their email address under a "Deleted User" role for six months. This retention period helps us ensure the integrity of our services, prevent fraudulent activities, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
2. Complete Erasure of Data: After the six-month retention period, the user's account and all associated data, including the email address, will be completely erased from our database. This action is irreversible and ensures that no personal data remains on our systems.
3. Account Accessibility Post-Deletion: Once a user deletes their account, they will no longer be able to log in or sign up on our website or app using the same email address. This measure is implemented to maintain security and uphold the user’s request for account deletion.

Important Considerations

1. Grace Period: The six-month retention period acts as a grace period, allowing users to reconsider their decision. During this time, the account data remains inactive and inaccessible to the user.
2. Irreversibility: After the six-month period, the deletion process is finalized, and all user data is permanently removed. Users are encouraged to ensure they want their account deleted before initiating this process.

Keep in mind, we strongly protect your data, and we do not sell or transfer your data to any third parties.
