Wissal (“the Platform”), accessible at https://wissal.online, is operated with a privacy-first and security-driven approach. The protection of personal data is treated as a legal, technical, and ethical obligation.

This Privacy Policy describes how information is collected, processed, stored, and protected when you use Wissal. It also explains the rights available to users and the limits imposed on data usage.

This Policy applies solely to Wissal’s online services. It does not apply to offline interactions or to third-party services that operate independently from the Platform.

1. Legal Basis and Consent

By accessing or using Wissal, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the processing of your data as described herein.

Where required by law, Wissal relies on explicit consent. In other cases, processing is based on contractual necessity, legitimate security interests, or legal obligations.

2. Categories of Data Collected

Wissal follows a strict data-minimization model. Only information necessary to operate the Platform, secure accounts, and comply with legal requirements is collected.

Depending on your use of the Platform, collected data may include:

• Account identifiers (username, email address)
• Authentication and session information
• User-generated content voluntarily published
• Communications you initiate with support

Wissal does not require real-world identity verification, physical address, or additional personal details unless you explicitly request account verification or access to features that legally or operationally require it.

3. Optional Account Verification

Certain verification features may require additional information, such as identity documents or contact details. This data is requested only at the user’s initiative and is processed solely for verification purposes.

Verification data is handled with heightened security and is not reused for profiling, marketing, or advertising.

4. Purpose of Processing

Wissal processes personal data exclusively for the following purposes:

• Providing and maintaining platform functionality
• Account authentication and access control
• Security monitoring, fraud prevention, and abuse detection
• Responding to user requests and support inquiries
• Compliance with legal obligations

Personal data is not processed for purposes incompatible with those listed above.

5. Advertising and Monetization

Wissal may, depending on operational or regulatory context, display advertisements or sponsored content. Such inclusion, if any, is subject to strict limitations.

Advertising mechanisms may be contextual or non-personalized. Behavioral profiling, cross-site tracking, or data resale are not permitted.

Where advertising partners are involved, data sharing is limited to what is strictly necessary, and only partners that meet acceptable privacy standards may be engaged.

6. Technical Logs and Metadata

Wissal processes limited technical data such as IP address, timestamps, device type, and request metadata for security, diagnostics, and operational integrity.

This data is not used to construct long-term behavioral profiles and is retained only for as long as necessary.

7. Cookies and Local Storage

Wissal uses essential cookies or equivalent technologies required for session management, authentication, and platform security.

Optional cookies, if introduced, will be clearly disclosed and subject to user choice where legally required.

8. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Wissal does not sell or rent personal data. Data is shared with third parties only when:

• Required to comply with applicable law or lawful requests
• Necessary to protect the security and integrity of the Platform
• Essential for services explicitly requested by the user

Any disclosure is limited in scope and subject to contractual or legal safeguards.

9. User Rights

Subject to applicable law, users have the right to:

• Access their personal data
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of data
• Restrict or object to processing
• Request data portability

Requests are handled within legally mandated timeframes without unjustified delay.

10. Data Retention

Personal data is retained only for the duration necessary to fulfill its original purpose or legal obligations.

Upon account deletion, data is securely erased or irreversibly anonymized, except where retention is required by law.

11. Security Measures

Wissal implements technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the data processed.

While no system can guarantee absolute security, reasonable and proportionate measures are continuously applied.

12. Children’s Privacy

Wissal is not intended for individuals below the minimum age required by applicable law.

Personal data relating to minors, if identified, is promptly removed.

13. Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes.

Material changes will be published on the Platform. Continued use of Wissal constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.

Wissal balances functionality, sustainability, and privacy without compromise.
