Privacy · Transparency · Data minimization

Collect less. Explain clearly. Protect what matters.

This notice explains what TaherAmine.org does—and deliberately does not do—with personal data, including professional correspondence, browser-local preferences, infrastructure records, and third-party media.

Privacy is an architectural choice.

The current website avoids unnecessary collection and persistence. Where data is needed, the purpose, pathway, and responsible service should remain understandable.

MIN

Collect less

The site is designed to avoid accounts, uploads, marketing profiles, and a website-side contact database. Data is requested only when it supports a clear professional purpose.

LOC

Keep local activity local

The enquiry planner operates in the visitor’s browser. Study-reader progress is stored only on the visitor’s device and is not sent to TaherAmine.org.

CLR

Name the third party

Where an embedded or external service may receive technical or interaction data, the provider and the reason for the connection are identified.

CTL

Preserve meaningful control

Visitors can avoid optional media, clear browser-local preferences, use direct contact channels, and request access, correction, deletion, or other applicable rights.

A direct line to the website owner.

For personal data handled through TaherAmine.org or direct professional correspondence, the responsible person is:

What happens, field by field.

The inventory below separates browser-local functions, correspondence the visitor chooses to send, infrastructure operations, and third-party media.

01

Enquiry planner

Data involved

Name, organization, reply email, timing, enquiry category, and the brief entered by the visitor.

How it is handled

The values remain in browser memory. They are not submitted to or stored by this website. Selecting “Open prepared email” transfers the prepared text to the visitor’s own mail application; selecting “Copy” places it on the visitor’s clipboard.

Purpose

Help the visitor prepare a clear professional enquiry.

02

Direct correspondence

Data involved

Contact details, organization, message content, attachments sent by the correspondent, timestamps, and ordinary email or messaging metadata.

How it is handled

Processed only after the visitor sends an email, WhatsApp or LinkedIn message, calls, or otherwise initiates contact. Correspondence may be retained while the enquiry or professional relationship is active and generally for up to 24 months after the last meaningful exchange, unless a contract, legal duty, dispute, security need, or professional-record requirement justifies longer retention.

Purpose

Respond, evaluate fit, take requested pre-contractual steps, manage a professional relationship, and preserve necessary business records.

03

Hosting, delivery & security

Data involved

Potentially IP address, user agent, requested URL, date and time, response status, diagnostic events, and security signals generated by hosting or delivery infrastructure.

How it is handled

TaherAmine.org does not create a separate visitor-profile database from these logs. Infrastructure providers may process and retain operational records for their configured period. Any records available to the site operator are used only for reliability, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and security, and are kept no longer than necessary for those purposes.

Purpose

Deliver the site, maintain availability, diagnose faults, and protect the website and visitors.

04

Study-reader preference

Data involved

A short browser-local value identifying the last CCSP study section opened.

How it is handled

Stored in localStorage on the visitor’s device under a versioned key. It is not transmitted to TaherAmine.org and can be removed by clearing site data in the browser.

Purpose

Return the visitor to the most recently opened study section.

05

Podcast & media

Data involved

Depending on the provider: IP address, device/browser information, referrer, cookies or similar identifiers, playback actions, listening activity, and platform-account data when signed in.

How it is handled

The Podcast page contains a lazy-loaded RedCircle player. When it loads, the browser connects directly to RedCircle. The Speaking page retrieves selected thumbnails from YouTube; video playback opens on YouTube. These providers process data under their own policies and may operate internationally.

Purpose

Display and play the public podcast catalogue and provide access to selected public media appearances.

Legal grounds

Depending on the context and applicable law, processing is based on responding to a visitor’s request or taking pre-contractual steps, legitimate interests in professional communication and website security, performance of an agreement, compliance with legal obligations, or consent where consent is specifically required. No decision with legal or similarly significant effect is made solely by automated processing on this website.

A connection should never be invisible.

TaherAmine.org does not sell or rent visitor data. Limited data may be processed by providers needed to deliver the site, communications, or media selected by the visitor.

RC

RedCircle

Embedded podcast catalogue, playback, delivery, and listening analytics.

Loading or using the player may expose technical and listening data to RedCircle and its delivery or advertising partners.

RedCircle privacy & opt-out
YT

YouTube / Google

Remote thumbnails and external playback for selected speaking and media sessions.

The Speaking page may request thumbnail files from YouTube. Selecting a video takes the visitor to YouTube, where Google’s terms apply.

Google privacy policy
EXT

External professional platforms

LinkedIn, GitHub, Medium, X, TikTok, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, WhatsApp, and other destinations selected by the visitor.

A normal link does not give TaherAmine.org access to the visitor’s account. Once selected, the destination processes the visit under its own policy.

Opens only when selected or required for delivery
INF

Hosting & communications providers

Website delivery, security, email, telecommunications, and professional correspondence.

These providers may process limited technical or communication data as service providers or independent controllers, depending on the service used.

Opens only when selected or required for delivery
International processing

Some service providers operate infrastructure or teams outside Algeria. As a result, technical or communication data may be processed in other countries under the provider’s terms and any safeguards required by applicable law. Visitors who prefer not to load third-party media can avoid the Podcast player and external media pages and use direct contact channels instead.

Sensitive information does not belong in the first message.

The website uses measures appropriate to a public professional site, including encrypted transport where supported, minimal website-side persistence, reduced attack surface, controlled publishing, and separation from later secure engagement channels.

!

Do not send passwords, credentials, secret keys, active incident evidence, sensitive personal data, regulated datasets, or confidential client files through an initial email, WhatsApp, LinkedIn message, or the enquiry planner.
