1Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how the Free Resources platform (freeresources.usmanjamilcsp.com — the “Platform”) and our related mobile application handle your information. The Platform provides free ASP/CSP exam-practice questions, study resources, and related tools. Downloadable resources are free and open — no registration or email is required to access them. The practice/exam portal asks for a few details so it can save your progress; this policy describes exactly what is collected and why.
2Information we collect
Practice portal (exam.html)
To use the practice/exam portal you enter your name, email address, and an access code. We use these to identify your practice history so your progress dashboard works across sessions. The portal does not use passwords, and we never ask for one.
Practice activity
- The practice and exam sessions you take: questions attempted, your answers, scores, per-domain performance, and missed questions.
- This history powers your score trend, domain-mastery view, and personalised study plan.
Server logs
Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps) for security and reliability. We do not run any analytics or tracking scripts on the Platform.
Telegram bot
If you interact with our Telegram bot(s) (for eligibility checks or the resource hub), Telegram provides limited information such as your Telegram user ID and username so the bot can respond to you. Your use of Telegram is also subject to Telegram’s own privacy policy.
3How we use information
- To recognise you in the practice portal and save your practice history and progress.
- To display your progress dashboard (score trend, domain mastery, study plan).
- To respond when you contact us for support or tuition.
- To secure the Platform and prevent abuse (e.g. enforcing access-code limits).
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your email address for marketing or newsletters. Your email is used only to identify your practice history and to reply if you write to us.
4Cookies & local storage
The practice portal stores a short-lived session (valid for 8 hours), any in-progress exam (so a crash or reload doesn’t lose your answers), and your display preference (dark/light mode) in your browser’s local storage. This data stays on your device, is essential for the Platform to function, and is not used for advertising or tracking. We do not set advertising or analytics cookies.
5Sharing & third parties
We share information only with the providers needed to operate the Platform, or where required by law:
- Hosting provider — the servers that run the Platform and store portal data.
- Cloudflare — content delivery and security; the portal also loads the jsPDF library from Cloudflare’s cdnjs to generate your study-sheet PDF.
- Google Fonts — the Platform loads its typefaces from Google Fonts; your browser contacts Google’s servers (disclosing your IP address) to fetch them.
- Telegram — only if you use our Telegram bots.
We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or ad networks.
6Mobile application (HSE HUB)
When you use our App, the same practice-portal data described above applies (name, email, access code, and practice activity). The App does not show third-party advertising and does not use tracking SDKs.
The App is currently free. If optional in-app purchases are introduced in the future, payments will be processed entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their own terms and privacy policies — we never receive or store your payment-card details. We will update this policy before any purchases are introduced.
7Data security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8Data retention
We keep portal and practice data while your access is active and as needed for legitimate operational and legal purposes. You can request deletion of your data at any time (see “Your rights”).
9Your rights & data deletion
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data — including your name, email address, and full practice history — at any time.
Delete it yourself, instantly: use our self-service page at freeresources.usmanjamilcsp.com/delete.html — enter the email and access code you used on the portal and everything is permanently removed. Alternatively, contact us using the details below and we will action your request promptly.
10Children
The Platform and App are intended for users aged 16 and over (typically working professionals and candidates preparing for certification). We do not knowingly collect data from children.
11Third-party links
Resources may link to external standards bodies and references. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
12Changes
We may update this policy. The “Effective date” above reflects the current version.
13Contact
Questions, data requests, or data-deletion requests can be sent to hse_usman@outlook.com, or via the contact channels on usmanjamilcsp.com / WhatsApp +971 56 669 8759.
