Introduction

At Abeytrust (“we,” “us,” “our”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have over your data.

By using our Services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

If you sign up using Google or another third-party login, we receive basic profile information (name, email, photo) from that service.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:
  • Create and manage your account
  • Process payments and deliver the courses you purchase

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only in these situations:
  • Service providers: payment processors, email delivery services, hosting providers, analytics tools — all bound by confidentiality agreements
  • Instructors: instructors can see basic information about students enrolled in their courses (name, profile photo, reviews, Q&A posts)
  • Legal requirements: if required by law, court order, or government request
  • Business transfers: if Abeytrust is acquired, merged, or sold, your data may be transferred to the new owner under the same privacy commitments

Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:
  • HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
  • Secure servers with restricted access
  • Password hashing (we never store your password in plain text)
  • Regular security reviews and updates
While we do our best to protect your information, no system is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong password and notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our Services. After you close your account:
  • We may retain some data for legal, tax, or fraud prevention purposes
  • Anonymized analytics data may be kept indefinitely
  • You can request full deletion of your data by emailing support@abeytrust.com

  • Keep you logged in
  • Remember your preferences
