Terms of use and privacy policy
1. The service
The Torah & Science Course platform is offered free of charge by Sander Édition, 336 route de la Gare, 14130 Quetteville, France (contact: jeanbaptiste.mail@gmail.com). It gives access to an online course, a personal account and a certificate of completion. The certificate attests that the course was followed; it is not a diploma, a professional certification, or a rabbinic, clinical or teaching qualification.
The content is protected by copyright. It is made available for your personal and professional use (preparing a class or an answer); reproducing or distributing it beyond that requires the publisher’s permission.
2. The data we collect, and why
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| First name, last name, email, password (encrypted) | Creating and securing your account, identifying you, sending account emails | Performance of the service you request |
| Phone number | Checking that an account belongs to a real person, contacting you about your account or certificate | Performance of the service and legitimate interest (preventing fake accounts) |
| Country, city, community, role, community size, how you heard of us | Adapting the course to your role, statistics, organising lectures near you | Legitimate interest of the publisher |
| Progress, exercise answers, notes | Remembering where you are and letting you find your work again | Performance of the service |
| Clicks to books and lectures, pages viewed | Measuring interest in our content and improving the course | Legitimate interest |
| Email and phone, if you agreed | Informing you of new books and lectures (marketing) | Your consent, optional and withdrawable at any time |
Marketing by email or SMS happens only if you ticked the corresponding box. Declining has no effect on your access to the course. Every information email contains an unsubscribe link, and you can change your choices at any time in your profile.
3. Who has access to your data
Only Sander Édition has access to your data. It is neither sold nor rented. It may be processed by our technical providers (hosting, sending emails and SMS), strictly within their mission and in accordance with the GDPR. Your exercise answers and notes are private: they are not individually reviewed for commercial purposes.
4. How long
Your account data is kept while your account is active, then three years after your last login, after which it is deleted or anonymised. Proof of consent is kept as long as needed to demonstrate it was obtained.
5. Your rights
You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability. From your profile you can download all your data and delete your account in one click. For any other request: jeanbaptiste.mail@gmail.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL (www.cnil.fr).
6. Security
Passwords are encrypted (never stored in plain text). Logins are protected against repeated attempts. The site uses a session cookie strictly necessary for logging in, a cookie that remembers your language, and no advertising cookies.
