Galal Academy is operated by Galal Consulting LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we use it and the choices available to you.
1. Information we collect
We may collect your name, email address, account and authentication information, subscription and invoice identifiers, membership and document-access status, support messages, and basic technical information such as device, browser, IP address and security logs. When you purchase a subscription, Stripe processes your payment details; Galal Academy does not receive or store your complete card number.
2. How we use information
We use personal information to create and secure accounts, provide subscriptions and protected resources, process and reconcile payments, send service and renewal communications, answer support requests, prevent abuse, maintain records, improve the website and comply with applicable legal obligations.
3. Legal bases
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information to perform our contract with you, comply with legal obligations, protect our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Academy, and obtain consent where consent is required.
4. Service providers and disclosures
We use service providers that process information on our behalf, including Stripe for billing, Supabase for account data and protected storage, Vercel for website hosting, Zoho for email, and Google or YouTube for linked or embedded content. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect users and the service, or as part of a business transaction subject to appropriate safeguards. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
5. International processing
Galal Academy serves an international audience. Information may therefore be processed in the United States, the European Economic Area and other locations where our service providers operate. Where required, we rely on contractual and other lawful safeguards for international transfers.
6. Retention and security
We retain information only as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, maintain business and tax records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements and meet legal obligations. We use access controls, private storage, encrypted connections and other reasonable technical and organisational measures, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
7. Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or a portable copy of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. You may also withdraw consent where processing relies on consent and lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. We will verify requests and may retain information where the law permits or requires it.
8. Cookies and similar technology
We use essential cookies or similar browser storage to keep you signed in, protect sessions and operate account features. If non-essential analytics or marketing technologies are introduced, we will provide any notice and choice required by applicable law.
9. Children
The service is intended for professional and adult learners and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate permission, please contact us.
10. Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the service or applicable requirements change. The effective date above shows the latest revision. Privacy questions and requests can be sent to admin@galalacademy.com.
