Aseef

Privacy Policy

Effective Read in Arabic

This Privacy Policy explains how Aseef ("Aseef", "we", "us") processes personal data when you use Aseef, the structured brainstorming service available on the web, on desktop and on mobile (the "Service"). It applies to visitors, account holders, hosts, collaborators and invitees.

  • We collect what the Service needs to work: your account, what you write, and how you collaborate.
  • We never sell personal data and we show no advertising.
  • Analytics run only if you accept them, and you can change your mind at any time.
  • You can export your spaces or delete your account yourself, from inside the app.
  • Aseef is not end-to-end encrypted. Our infrastructure can technically access space content.
  • Questions and requests go to hi@jehaad.com. We answer within 30 days.

This summary is for convenience. The full text below governs.

Who we are

Aseef is operated by Aseef, established in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Aseef is the controller of the personal data described in this Policy, which means we decide why and how it is processed.

Who we share it with

We share personal data only with the service providers below, who process it on our documented instructions and under data processing terms. We do not sell personal data.

Other participants in a space see what the product shows them: your display name, avatar, contributions and presence, according to the host's settings. Do not share in a space what you would not want its members to read.

We may disclose data when the law requires it, to protect the rights and safety of users, or as part of a merger or acquisition, in which case this Policy continues to apply.

How long we keep it

We keep personal data only as long as the purpose requires:

  • Account and content: for as long as your account is active.
  • Trash: a deleted idea or space stays recoverable for 30 days, then it is permanently deleted.
  • Account deletion: when you confirm, your account is scheduled for deletion 7 days later, and you can cancel at any time before then. After that, a background job erases your data from every table and removes your sign-in identity last. If you delete your sign-in account directly with our sign-in provider, deletion starts right away.
  • Backups: our database provider keeps backups for up to 30 days, after which deleted data no longer exists in them.
  • Analytics and crash reports: up to 12 months.
  • Support messages: for as long as needed to resolve your request, then up to 12 months.
  • Pro announcement list: until we send the announcement you asked for, then deleted. Ask us to remove your address at any time and we delete it sooner.
  • Service status measurements contain no personal data.

Deleting your account

You can permanently delete your account at any time from Account settings inside the Service. Deletion signs you out on every device and then removes your account and profile, the spaces you host with their ideas, blocks, memberships and presentation data, and your notification destinations, preferences, avatar and unclaimed uploads.

Contributions you made in spaces hosted by someone else may remain so the discussion still makes sense, but they are no longer connected to an account.

If you cannot sign in, email hi@jehaad.com from the address on your account and ask for deletion. We will verify that you control the account before acting. Do not send passwords, sign-in codes or identity documents in a first message.

How we protect it

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by our infrastructure providers, every read and write is authorized on the server, and sign-in never involves an Aseef password. The full posture, including what we have not done yet, is published at aseef.app/security.

Aseef is not end-to-end encrypted. Our infrastructure can technically access space content, and staff access is limited by policy and access controls.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you have the following rights over your personal data.

Under the GDPR (EU and UK users): access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection to processing based on legitimate interests, and withdrawal of consent at any time.

Under the Saudi PDPL: to be informed, to access your data, to obtain a copy in a readable format, to have it corrected, completed or updated, to have it destroyed when it is no longer needed, and to withdraw consent.

Many of these you can exercise yourself: Export any space from its menu, change your details in Settings, and delete your account in Account settings. For anything else, email hi@jehaad.com. We answer within 30 days and may need to verify your identity first.

If you are unhappy with our answer, you can complain to the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA), to the data protection authority of your EU country, or to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.

International transfers

Our providers process data in the United States and other countries. Transfers from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia follow the PDPL and its regulation on transferring personal data outside the Kingdom. Transfers from the EU and the UK rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK Addendum, or an adequacy decision where one exists.

If something goes wrong

If a personal data breach puts your rights at risk, we will notify the competent authority, including SDAIA and the relevant EU or UK authority where required, within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, and we will tell affected users without undue delay what happened and what they can do.

Children

You must be at least 13 years old to use Aseef, or older where your local law sets a higher age for consenting to data processing. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this Policy

When we make a material change, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. Every revision is dated and summarized at the end of this page.
