04How We Use Your Information
Contractual Service Delivery
Fulfilling our contract with you: creating accounts, enrolling you in courses, processing payments, awarding certificates, enabling instructor interaction, and delivering technical support.
Personalization and Learning Optimization
Using educational data to create tailored experiences: adaptive learning paths, course recommendations, in-platform notifications, and curriculum improvements based on aggregated, anonymized performance data.
Communication and Engagement
Transactional emails (payment confirmations, password resets, policy changes) — you cannot opt out. Course progress emails — manageable in settings. Marketing emails — only with explicit opt-in, with one-click unsubscribe in every message.
Analytics, Research, and Product Development
Anonymized and aggregated data drives our evolution: statistical analysis, A/B testing, and developing new product lines based on interest patterns.
Safety, Security, and Legal Compliance
Fraud prevention, terms enforcement, legal holds for court orders, and security monitoring against hacking, brute-force attacks, and DDoS threats.
05The Legal Bases for Processing
Under data protection laws like the GDPR, every processing activity must have a valid legal basis. We rely on one of six:
Contractual Necessity
Processing needed to deliver the service you requested (e.g., course access).
Legitimate Interests
Processing for our legitimate business purposes, balanced against your rights (e.g., marketing to existing customers with opt-out).
Consent
Explicit permission for specific purposes (e.g., cookies, sensitive data). Withdrawable at any time.
Legal Obligation
Compliance with court orders and statutory requirements.
Vital Interests
Protecting life or physical integrity in emergencies.
Public Interest
Government-recognized initiatives or publicly funded research.
06Data Sharing & Disclosures
Our Guarantee
We affirm unequivocally: iginity.com does not exchange your personal information for monetary consideration.Any sharing of hashed identifiers for advertising is strictly subject to your explicit opt-in consent, revocable via "Your Privacy Choices" or browser GPC signal.
Our Trusted Service Providers (Data Processors)

Integration Partners & Optional Services
Social login providers (Google, LinkedIn) share basic profile information per your authorization. Corporate sponsors may see aggregated progress data if they fund your subscription — we notify you beforehand.
Legal and Statutory Disclosures
Disclosure to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or courts when necessary to comply with legal process, prevent fraud, or protect safety.
Business Transfers
If iginity undergoes a merger or acquisition, your data may be transferred as a business asset. You will be notified prominently and given choices before any new policy applies.
07International Data Transfers
As a Pakistan-based company serving globally, your data will likely cross borders. We ensure protection travels with your data.
Our Infrastructure

Protection Measures
All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256) regardless of physical location. Cloud contracts bind providers to identical data protection standards.
