1. Purpose and Scope
This policy applies to all personal data and user-generated content processed by Jasomel in connection with the delivery of our online educational platform, interactive quizzes, assessments, and related services. It governs how long we keep different categories of data and the procedures we follow when data is no longer needed.
This policy applies to:
- Registered users and account holders
- Visitors to our website
- Participants in quizzes, tests, and educational activities
- Individuals who contact us for support or inquiries
2. Categories of Data We Retain
2.1 Account and Identity Data
This includes your name, email address, username, password credentials, and any profile information you provide upon registration. This data is retained for as long as your account remains active.
2.2 Usage and Activity Data
This includes records of your interactions with the platform, such as quiz attempts, scores, progress tracking, time spent on activities, and feature usage logs. This data is retained to support personalized learning experiences and platform improvement.
2.3 Communication Data
This includes messages sent to our support team, feedback submissions, and correspondence via email at help@jasomel.com or by phone at +380669016002. This data is retained to maintain service quality and resolve disputes.
2.4 Technical and Diagnostic Data
This includes IP addresses, browser type, device identifiers, session tokens, error logs, and performance data collected automatically when you use our services. This data is used for security monitoring and platform maintenance.
2.5 Payment and Billing Data
Where applicable, billing records and transaction references are retained in accordance with financial and accounting obligations. Full payment card details are not stored directly on our systems.
3. Retention Periods
3.1 Active Accounts
Personal data associated with an active account is retained for the entire duration that the account remains open and in use. We consider an account active if the user has logged in or interacted with the platform within the preceding twenty-four months.
3.2 Inactive Accounts
If an account has shown no activity for a continuous period of twenty-four months, we may classify it as inactive. Users will be notified prior to any action being taken on inactive accounts, and given the opportunity to reactivate or request deletion.
3.3 Learning and Assessment Records
Quiz results, test scores, and progress records are retained for a minimum of three years following the date of completion. This period supports certificate issuance, performance reviews, and educational continuity.
3.4 Support and Communication Records
Records of support requests and communications are retained for a period of two years from the date of last correspondence, allowing us to reference prior interactions and maintain consistent service.
3.5 Technical Logs
Server logs, access records, and diagnostic data are retained for a maximum of twelve months, after which they are automatically deleted or anonymized.
3.6 Billing Records
Financial transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years to comply with standard accounting and auditing requirements.
3.7 Anonymized and Aggregated Data
Data that has been fully anonymized so that it can no longer identify any individual may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis, platform improvement, and research purposes.
4. Legal Bases for Retention
We retain personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. The applicable legal bases include:
- Contractual necessity: Retention required to fulfill our obligations under the terms of service agreement with you.
- Legitimate interests: Retention necessary for fraud prevention, security monitoring, and service improvement.
- Legal obligation: Retention required to comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.
- Consent: Where you have provided explicit consent for specific data processing activities, we retain data for the period covered by that consent.
5. Data Deletion and Disposal
5.1 Scheduled Deletion
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or rendered irreversibly anonymous. Our internal processes are reviewed periodically to ensure that deletion schedules are adhered to consistently.
5.2 Secure Disposal Methods
Digital records are deleted using methods designed to prevent recovery. Physical records, where applicable, are destroyed in a manner that prevents unauthorized access or reconstruction.
5.3 Third-Party Processors
Where personal data has been shared with third-party service providers acting as data processors, we require those parties to maintain equivalent data retention and deletion standards under contractual agreements.
6. User Rights Regarding Retained Data
You have rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. These may include:
- Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where no overriding legal obligation requires its continued retention.
- Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to restriction: You may request that we limit the processing of your data in certain circumstances.
- Right to data portability: Where applicable, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used format.

7. Account Deletion Requests
If you wish to delete your account, you may do so through your account settings or by submitting a written request to help@jasomel.com. Upon account deletion, we will remove or anonymize your personal data within thirty days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud investigation, dispute resolution, or enforcement of our terms.
8. Data Breach and Retention Implications
In the event of a confirmed data breach, we may be required to retain specific records related to the incident for the purposes of investigation, regulatory notification, and remediation. Such retention is governed by applicable security and incident response obligations and may extend beyond standard retention periods.
9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Data collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies is subject to separate retention periods defined in our Cookie Policy. In general, session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies are retained for the period defined at the time of their creation, typically no longer than thirteen months.
10. Children's Data
Our services are not directed to children under the age of sixteen. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a child under this age without appropriate consent, we will take prompt steps to delete that data. If you believe we may have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately at help@jasomel.com.

We may update this Data Retention Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or operational needs.
