In short: the website does not use accounts, adverts or tracking of its own. WAJ Academy also runs a private publishing tool that posts its own videos to its own social media accounts. That tool is not offered to the public and does not collect information about other people.
1. Who we are
WAJ Academy is an education and research support academy based in Ireland, offering tutoring, academic support and learning materials. We work genuinely to help students and researchers, creating our own content, materials and tools, and we work hard to make them high quality.
WAJ Academy is operated by Dr. Wissam A. Jassim, who is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to WAJ Academy and Dr. Jassim. For anything about your privacy, please email info@wajacademy.com.
This policy covers:
- our website, www.wajacademy.com, including the Maths Playground tools
- the WAJ Academy Uploader, our private publishing tool, described in section 5
2. Information you give us
If you use the “Send a Message” form or email us, we receive whatever details you choose to share, such as your name, contact details and what you would like help with. We use them to reply to you and to arrange and provide any tutoring, academic or research support, or other service you ask about.
We keep this information only for as long as we need it for those purposes, or to meet legal, tax or accounting obligations.
If you are under 16, please ask a parent or guardian before sending us your personal information.
3. Using the website
You do not need an account to use the website. The Maths Playground tools run in your browser, and what you enter into them is not sent to us.
The website’s own code does not set cookies, store information on your device or include advertising. Some parts of the website are provided by other companies, which may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser type when a page loads. These companies provide:
- website hosting
- text fonts and some of the images
- the graphing and maths display code used by the Playground tools
- our email, the contact form and, when online booking is available, the booking page. What you send or submit is stored by the provider, which may use cookies or similar technology on its own pages.
These companies handle information under their own privacy policies, and some may process it outside the European Economic Area. Links to other sites, such as our social media profiles, also lead to services with their own policies.
4. Why we may use your information
- To answer you or provide a service you ask for: this is needed to take the steps you request and to carry out any agreement with you.
- To run and secure the website, and to publish our own content: we have a legitimate interest in doing this.
- To meet legal obligations: for example, keeping accounting records.
We do not sell your personal information or use it for advertising. We share it only with the service providers described in section 3, or where the law requires us to.
5. The WAJ Academy Uploader
The WAJ Academy Uploader is a private tool that runs on our own computer. It publishes WAJ Academy’s own educational videos to WAJ Academy’s own accounts on the platforms below. Only WAJ Academy uses it. It has no public sign-up, and nobody else can connect their account to it.
Platforms it connects to
- YouTube: the tool uses YouTube API Services. Google’s handling of data is explained in the Google Privacy Policy.
- TikTok: the tool uses TikTok’s developer services. See the TikTok Privacy Policy.
- Facebook and Instagram: the tool uses Meta’s developer services to publish to our own Facebook Page and Instagram account. See the Meta Privacy Policy.
What it sends and reads
- Sends to the platforms: our videos and their details, such as titles, descriptions, tags, categories, thumbnails, playlists and scheduled publishing times.
- Reads from the platforms: only what it needs to publish to our own accounts, such as our own playlist names and account or page identifiers.
What it does not do
It does not read, store or show information about other users or channels, including their profiles, comments, messages or viewing activity. It does not use platform data for advertising or analytics, and does not sell or share it.
What it stores
The only platform data it stores is the sign-in token for each of our accounts. These tokens are kept on our own computer. They are not stored on this website or shared with anyone else, and we can delete them at any time.
Removing its access
The account owner can remove the tool’s access at any time through each platform’s settings:
- Google and YouTube: use the Google security settings page.
- TikTok: use the app permissions section of TikTok’s settings.
- Facebook and Instagram: use the apps and websites or business integrations section of the account settings.
6. Asking us to delete your information
To ask us to delete information we hold about you, email info@wajacademy.com with the subject “Data deletion request”. Tell us what your request relates to and how we can identify the information, such as the email address you used to contact us.
We will reply within one month, confirm what has been deleted, and explain if the law requires us to keep anything.
The WAJ Academy Uploader does not keep information about anyone outside WAJ Academy, so there will normally be nothing to delete from it. Deleting our own uploader data means removing its access as described above and deleting the stored tokens from our computer.
7. Your rights
Under data protection law, you may have the right to:
- access your personal information and receive a copy of it
- have it corrected or deleted
- limit or object to how we use it
- move it to another provider, where this applies
- withdraw consent, where we rely on it
To use any of these rights, email info@wajacademy.com. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us. You can also complain to Ireland’s Data Protection Commission.
8. Changes and contact
We will update this page if our website or tool changes how information is handled, and change the date at the top. Questions or complaints are welcome at info@wajacademy.com.
