6. Sharing and Service Providers

We may use trusted service providers such as website hosting, email, analytics, or security providers. For Idara, this may include Firebase and Google Cloud for authentication, database, cloud functions, notifications, and infrastructure; RevenueCat for subscription management; Stripe for web payments; Apple App Store and Google Play for app subscriptions and payments; Expo for push notifications; Vercel for website hosting; and email or support tools where needed to respond to support requests. They may process personal data only as needed to provide those services.

We do not sell personal data.

7. International Transfers

Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses, UK transfer mechanisms, and provider data protection terms.

8. Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to enquiries, operating the website, maintaining security, providing Idara services, maintaining learning records, handling account recovery, resolving disputes, supporting safeguarding, and meeting legal obligations.

9. Your Rights

Subject to legal limits, you may have rights to:

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including access controls, secure hosting practices, authentication, database security rules, restricted administrative access, and encrypted connections where available. No online service can guarantee complete security.

11. Children

Some COLNIGHTD LTD services, including Idara, may be used by children in an educational and religious learning context. Students under 15 should have a linked parent or guardian account before using core student features. Children under 13 must not create or use an account unless this has been approved by a parent, guardian, teacher, masjid, madrassah, academy, or organisation responsible for their learning.

Linked parents or guardians may be able to view a student's assignments, progress, feedback, lessons, attendance, and messages between the student and teacher for safeguarding, learning oversight, and support. Students should not treat student-teacher chat as private from a linked parent or guardian. We do not sell children's personal data or knowingly use children's data for advertising profiling.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this website with the effective date above.
