Privacy policy
Plain English, no legal wall. Here is what we collect, why, and how you stay in control.
Who we are
Hamed Arab Academy is run by Hamed Arab, trading as Studio Saina Ltd (company number 12770445), based in Birmingham, UK. If you have any question about your data, email hello@hamedarab.academy.
What we collect
When you sign up on this site (for example to get a free resource or join the community) we collect your name, your email address, an optional answer to “what best describes you”, and which resource or magnet you requested. Once we start sending you emails, we also see basic engagement data: whether an email was opened and whether you clicked a link inside it.
Why we collect it, and our lawful basis
We use your details to deliver the resource you asked for, and, with your consent, to send you occasional emails: tips, new resources, and workshop invitations. We look at open and click data so we can keep those emails relevant and stop sending you things you never engage with. Both of these rely on your consent, which you give when you submit the form and can withdraw at any time. We never sell your data to anyone.
Where your data lives
Your details are stored with our email delivery provider, Resend, our website host, Vercel, and our own contact-management system, which runs on a server based in the EU (Hetzner). All three are reputable providers who are contractually bound to protect your data.
How long we keep it
We keep your details until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. Unsubscribing stops all marketing emails immediately. We keep a minimal record on a suppression list so that we don't accidentally email you again in future.
Your rights
You can ask to see the data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, or withdraw your consent to marketing at any time. The quickest way is the unsubscribe link in any email we send you, or by emailing hello@hamedarab.academy. If you are ever unhappy with how we have handled your data, you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Cookies
This site does not use any analytics or tracking cookies. We don't run Google Analytics, Plausible, PostHog, or any similar tool. Any cookies you see come from the standard operation of the site itself, not from us tracking you.
