Who is responsible for the website?

Setareh Salehabadi is the owner and operator of this website and is responsible for decisions about the personal information processed through it.

The website owner is based in Iran. The website is intended for an international audience and may be accessed from countries with different privacy and data-protection rules.

Current website services

The current website primarily provides public information, research, selected project material and educational content.

At present, the website does not operate an active public contact form, newsletter subscription system, user account system or online checkout.

If you voluntarily send a privacy or legal request to the email address listed in this policy, the information in your message will be processed only as reasonably necessary to review and answer that request.

Technical and hosting information

When you access the website, hosting, infrastructure and security providers may automatically process technical information needed to deliver and protect the website.

  • IP address and approximate network location
  • Date and time of access
  • Requested page or file
  • Browser, device and operating-system information
  • Referring page
  • Server errors, security events and diagnostic logs

Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4 only after you select “Accept analytics” in the privacy banner. If you reject analytics, the Google Analytics tag is not intentionally loaded by the website.

Analytics is used to understand how pages and content are used, identify technical or usability issues and make evidence-based improvements.

Depending on the enabled measurement settings, Analytics may process page views, session statistics, scrolling, outbound-link clicks, traffic sources, approximate location and browser or device information.

Google states that IP addresses are used during collection to derive approximate location information and are discarded before being logged or stored in Google Analytics.

The current website tag denies advertising storage, advertising user data and advertising personalisation. The website does not intentionally use GA4 for personalised advertising or remarketing.

  • Page views and navigation paths
  • Session and engagement information
  • Scroll interactions
  • Outbound-link clicks
  • Approximate geographic information
  • Browser, device, language and operating-system information
  • Traffic source or campaign information

Cookies and browser storage

The website stores your analytics choice locally. Analytics cookies may be created only after analytics has been accepted.

NameTypePurposeDuration

_gaFirst-party analytics cookieUsed by GA4 to distinguish pseudonymous users.Google default: up to 2 years, subject to browser and tag settings.
_ga_<container-id>First-party analytics cookieUsed by GA4 to maintain session state.Google default: up to 2 years, subject to browser and tag settings.

Browser restrictions, user settings and future configuration changes may shorten these durations. Rejecting analytics prevents the website from intentionally loading GA4 and attempts to remove existing _ga cookies for this domain.

Purpose and legal basis

Analytics information is used to understand website performance, improve content, evaluate usability and identify technical problems.

Where the GDPR or a similar consent-based rule applies, analytics processing is based on your consent. Refusing analytics does not prevent you from using the public content of the website.

You may withdraw or change your choice at any time by using the “Cookie settings” control displayed on the website after a choice has been saved.

Service providers and international processing

Analytics information is sent to Google for processing and reporting. Technical information may also be processed by hosting, infrastructure, security and content-delivery providers used to operate the website.

These providers may process information in countries other than the country from which you access the website. Their own contractual terms, privacy documentation and applicable safeguards govern their processing.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably required to comply with applicable law, protect the website or respond to a valid legal request.

How long information is kept

The browser preference recording your analytics choice remains until you change the choice or clear local browser data.

GA4 cookie durations are described in the cookie section above. User-level and event-level Analytics retention is controlled through the Google Analytics property settings and Google’s applicable retention rules.

Aggregated statistical reports may remain available separately from user-level or event-level retention settings.

Legal or privacy correspondence may be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to answer the request, maintain an appropriate record or comply with an applicable obligation.

Your privacy rights

Depending on the law that applies to you and the circumstances of the processing, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

  • Request access to relevant personal information
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion where legally applicable
  • Request restriction of processing
  • Object to certain processing
  • Request data portability where applicable
  • Withdraw analytics consent at any time
  • Submit a complaint to a competent data-protection authority

Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, misuse, loss or alteration.

No internet transmission, hosting environment or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Future accounts, payments and digital products

The website may later introduce self-service educational products, Iranian and international payment options, user accounts or other digital services.

Before those services become active, this policy and the Terms of Use should be updated to explain the additional information, service providers, payment processing, retention rules and user choices involved.

The introduction of paid products or international checkout should also receive appropriate professional legal review before launch.

Children

This website is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children. A parent or guardian who believes that a child has provided personal information may use the privacy email below to request a review.

Policy updates

This policy may be updated when the website, analytics configuration, hosting arrangements or legal requirements change.

The latest revision date will be displayed near the top of this page.

Google provides additional information about how Analytics safeguards and processes information.
