Privacy policy
Last updated: 14 October 2026
Abedaca is operated by Individual Entrepreneur ALIAKSEI KULBITSKI, registered in Georgia. The mailing list, your player account, optional usage analytics, and private messages to the course author serve different purposes. Usage analytics starts only when you choose to allow it.
What is collected
- Your email address, when you submit the mailing-list form.
- When you create a player account: your email address, optional display name and language, a password hash, access grants, and short-lived sign-in and password-reset records. Your password and reset link are not stored in plain text.
- If you allow analytics: a random visit ID, referral or UTM campaign, visits to the landing page and player, lessons and scenes opened, and time spent actively reading or playing audio. After sign-in, these measurements can be associated with your account ID.
- When you message the course author: your message, lesson context, the author's reply, and your account ID. These messages are private to you and the author. Their text is not part of usage analytics.
- When you take a lesson quiz: your selected answers, optional written reflection, score, lesson, language, and account ID. Attempts are private to your account.
- When you submit an optional course survey: your selected answers, optional comments, lesson, language, and account ID. These responses are shared with the course author to improve the lessons. Opening a survey does not submit responses; you choose whether to save them.
Why
The mailing-list address is used for course updates. Account information is used to sign you in, protect your access, and open the lessons you can use. Optional measurements show which channels bring students to the lessons and where lessons may need improvement. Private messages let the author answer your question. Optional survey responses help the author improve the setup instructions and plan additional explanations. Use the private message form when you want a personal reply. Your address is never sold or shared for anyone else's marketing.
Who processes it
The mailing list is handled by Kit, a separate email service (Kit privacy notice). Usage measurements and private messages are stored in the Abedaca application database on our Hetzner server. No third-party analytics SDK or advertising pixel is loaded. When transactional email is enabled, Resend receives the recipient address and the content of account emails. Author-reply notifications contain a link to the private reply, not the message text.
How long it is kept
Mailing-list addresses are kept until you unsubscribe or ask for deletion. Player account and access records are kept while your account is active and as needed to provide access or meet legal obligations. Expired sessions and password-reset records are removed by routine cleanup. Usage events are removed after 180 days. If you turn analytics off in your profile, your account's usage events are deleted. Answered and closed private messages are removed after two years; unanswered messages remain until they are handled. Quiz attempts and course survey responses are removed after two years. You can also ask for earlier deletion.
Your analytics choice
You can decline analytics and still use the lessons. The choice is saved in local storage in your browser. Change it using “Privacy choices” in the site footer or “Usage analytics” in your player profile. The site also uses local storage to remember a mailing-list submission. No advertising cookies are used.
Your rights
If you're in the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction with equivalent rules, you can ask for a copy of what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. One email to the address below is enough — no forms, no justification needed.
