Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 25, 2025.
We value your privacy. Learn how we collect, protect, and use your information through Google Sign-In and Firebase.

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Sarmad Gardezi collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users ("User") of the sarmadgardezi.com website and all associated services (the "Site"). This policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by Sarmad Gardezi.

1. Information Collection and Usage

1.1. Personal Identification Information (Google Sign-In)

When a user chooses to log in or sign up to the Site (to access courses, services, or restricted content), they may do so using the Google Sign-In button. By using this method, the User authorizes Google to share certain personal data with us.

Data Collected via Google Sign-In:

Name: Used for account personalization and course certificates.
Email Address: Used for account authentication, transactional messages (e.g., payment receipts, course enrollment confirmations), and service-related communications.
Profile Picture (URL): Used for personalizing the User's account dashboard.
Unique Google User ID: Used to securely link the account to our Firebase backend.

We DO NOT collect, store, or have access to your Google password or any sensitive data beyond what is explicitly shared by Google as part of the authentication process.

1.2. Transactional and Financial Data

When a User purchases a course or service, we collect:

Billing Information: Name, address, and contact details necessary for invoicing.
Payment Confirmation: We use third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, or local processors) to handle all transactions. We DO NOT store or have direct access to your credit card numbers or banking information. We only receive confirmation of payment from the processor.

1.3. Non-personal Identification Information

We collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. This may include the browser name, type of computer, technical information about the means of connection, operating system, and the Internet service providers utilized. This data is primarily gathered via Google Analytics (GA4) and Google Tag Manager (GTM) for website optimization and traffic analysis.

2. Data Storage and Security

2.1. Infrastructure and Security Measures

We utilize Google Firebase and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services to store and manage all User data, including authentication records. This infrastructure is protected by Google's industry-leading security protocols.

Security Practices:

All data transmission between your browser and our Site is protected using SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS).
User profile data is stored securely in Firebase, leveraging its built-in authentication and access controls.
Access to User data is strictly limited to essential personnel.

2.2. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you wish to delete your account and all associated personal data, please contact us using the information provided in Section 6.

3. How We Use the Collected Information

Sarmad Gardezi collects and uses Users’ personal information for the following purposes:

To Run and Operate the Site: To ensure content is presented effectively.
To Personalize User Experience: To tailor courses, offers, and recommendations based on your activity.
To Process Transactions: To deliver the courses and services you purchase.
For Account Management: To send service-related emails (e.g., account verification, course progress).

4. Sharing Your Personal Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent Users’ personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information (not linked to any personal identification information) with our business partners for analytical purposes.

We only share your data with essential third-party service providers necessary to operate the service, such as Google Firebase (backend), Google Analytics (traffic), and payment processors (e-commerce). These parties are bound by their own privacy policies to protect your information.

5. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.
