Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how ABIA collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website or interact with our services.

Last updated: July 11, 2026

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, organization, and message content when you submit a contact or accreditation application form. We also collect certification records (name, serial number, and related certification details) for individuals and organizations we accredit or certify, used to power our public certificate verification tool.

Analytics and Cookies

We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar services) to understand how visitors use our website — including pages visited, time on site, and general location (city/country level, not precise location). These tools use cookies and similar technologies. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect some website functionality.

How We Use Information

We use collected information to respond to inquiries and applications, process accreditation and certification requests, operate the public verification tool, improve our website and services, and comply with legal obligations.

Payments (Planned)

ABIA plans to introduce online payment processing for accreditation and certification application fees in the future. When implemented, payments will be handled by a third-party payment processor, and this policy will be updated to describe what payment-related data is collected and how it is handled before that feature goes live.

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the website (such as hosting and analytics providers), with accredited partner organizations where relevant to your application, or when required by law.

International Data Transfers

ABIA operates from the United States (Delaware) and Egypt. Information you provide may be processed in either location. By using this website, you consent to this transfer and processing.

Data Retention

We retain certification records for as long as necessary to support ongoing verification of issued credentials. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to address your inquiry, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. To exercise these rights, contact us at info@abia.us.

Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
