This Privacy Policy describes how Mohamed Rida Helwani ("we", "us") handles personal data in connection with ChauffeurKlaar.
1. Who is the data controller?
The data controller for the personal data described below is Mohamed Rida Helwani, Westerhoofd 21, 1013 BS Amsterdam, Netherlands. For payment-related data the controller is Paddle.com (Merchant of Record).
2. What data do we collect?
- Account data: email address, password (stored only as a secure hash), and your Google account ID if you sign in with Google.
- Order data: package chosen, order code, payment status, language (payment details are handled by Paddle; we never see your card or bank details).
- Usage data: which exams you start and finish, attempt count, exam results, remaining validity.
- Technical data: IP address, user agent, approximate country (derived from IP for fraud prevention and language routing), and basic server logs.
- Support data: messages you send us by email, and conversations with the on-site chat assistant.
3. Why do we use it? (purposes and legal basis under AVG/GDPR)
- To provide your account and the Service you purchased, and to send login and password-reset emails (contract).
- To process payments and refunds via Paddle.com (contract; legal obligation for tax/invoicing).
- To detect and prevent fraud and abuse (legitimate interest).
- To support you when you contact us (contract).
- To improve the Service (legitimate interest).
4. Retention
We keep order and payment data for as long as required by tax law (typically 7 years in the Netherlands). Usage and exam data is kept for the lifetime of your package and for a reasonable period afterwards. Support messages are kept as long as needed to handle the request. Chat conversations are deleted after 30 days.
5. Who has access?
Access is limited to Mohamed Rida Helwani and the technical service providers we use to operate the Service (hosting, Paddle for payments, email delivery, Google for "Continue with Google" sign-in, and Google Gemini to generate chat-assistant replies; chat messages are sent to Gemini only to answer them). We do not sell your data. Where data is transferred outside the EEA we rely on adequate safeguards.
6. Your rights (AVG)
You have the right to access, rectify or erase your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to request data portability. To exercise these rights email ridahel19991@gmail.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
7. Cookies
We only use functional cookies that are needed for the site to work: drive_lang (your language, 1 year), a session cookie (keeps you logged in, until you close the browser or log out) and ck_chat (keeps your chat conversation across pages, 30 days). We also set ck_ref (remembers a referral link, 30 days) and ck_consent (remembers your cookie choice, 6 months). These functional cookies need no consent.
Analytics (only with your consent): if you click "Accept" in the cookie banner, we use Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) to measure anonymously how the site is used and whether purchases are completed (order number, package and amount — never your name, email or payment details). IP addresses are anonymised, Google signals and advertising features are switched off, and the cookies (_ga, _ga_*) last up to 14 months. Without consent no analytics script is loaded. You can change your choice at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer. We do not use advertising cookies.
