Who we are

Our website address is: https://badya.ai.

Badya AI is a creative and cultural storytelling studio that builds Arabic-first content experiences across media, technology, and education. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection and site security.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After comment approval, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images or media to the website, you should avoid uploading files with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract such data from media files.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving future comments. These cookies typically last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we may set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies typically last for two days, and screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may persist for up to two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited those websites directly.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, especially if you are logged in to those services.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or trade your personal data. Data may be shared only with trusted service providers (such as hosting, security, or analytics services) when necessary for the operation and protection of the website.

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

If users register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users may view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators may also access and manage this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase your personal data, except for information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services. Data may be processed on servers located in different jurisdictions, depending on our hosting and service providers, always with appropriate safeguards in place.
