Privacy Policy

Who is responsible

This website is operated by AL SAFI FZE, Al Shmookh Business Center, One UAQ, Umm Al Quwain Free Trade Zone, United Arab Emirates, the MENA operating entity of the HYBT Technologies group.

For any question about your personal data, or to exercise any right described below, write to [email protected]. We answer within 30 days.

What this website collects

Nothing automatically. This site sets no cookies, runs no analytics, embeds no tracking pixels, and loads no third-party scripts or fonts. Every asset — fonts included — is served from our own domain, so no data about your visit reaches any other company.

Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes standard server request data (IP address, user agent, requested URL) to deliver pages and protect against attack. This is necessary for the service to function and is handled under Cloudflare's own data processing terms.

What we collect when you contact us

The application and syllabus buttons open your own email client. Nothing is transmitted until you choose to send the message.

When you write to us, we receive what you put in the message: typically your name, email address, professional background and a link to your code. We use it to assess the application, arrange an interview and, if you enrol, to administer your place on the programme.

The legal basis is your request to take steps prior to entering a contract, and our legitimate interest in operating an admissions process.

What we collect if you enrol

Account identifiers for the learning platform, work you submit for review, and a record of your progress through the programme. This is necessary to perform the contract between us.

Payment is processed by our payment provider. We receive confirmation of payment, not your card details.

Your own Azure subscription and any Microsoft certification are your relationship with Microsoft, governed by Microsoft's terms and privacy notice, not ours.

How long we keep it

Unsuccessful applications: 12 months, then deleted, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

Enrolled students: for the duration of the programme and 6 years afterwards, which is the period during which a claim could be brought against us and the period we may need to confirm that you completed the course.

Correspondence that creates no record obligation is deleted when it is no longer needed.

Who else sees it

Our own staff and contracted instructors, only as needed to run the programme.

Infrastructure providers that host the platform and the compute you train on. They process data on our instructions and may not use it for their own purposes.

Nobody else. We do not sell personal data, we do not share it with advertisers, and we run no advertising on this site.

Transfers outside your country

We operate from the United Arab Emirates with entities in the United Kingdom and the United States, and our compute providers are based in the United States. Your data will therefore be processed outside the EEA and the UK.

Where GDPR applies, these transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent safeguard. Ask us and we will tell you which mechanism covers a specific processor.

Your rights

If the GDPR or the UK GDPR applies to you, you may request access to your data, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, and you may object to processing based on legitimate interest. You may withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis.

If you are in the United Arab Emirates, Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data gives you comparable rights.

Exercise any of them by writing to [email protected]. If you believe we have handled your data improperly, you may also complain to your national supervisory authority.

Changes

If we change this policy we update the date at the top of the page. Material changes affecting enrolled students are notified by email.
