Saifi Institute (“Saifi,” “we,” “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices and rights you have regarding it. It applies to visitors of our website and to students who register for our courses.

1. Information We Collect

• To send newsletters and course updates, which you may opt out of at any time.
• We do not use your information for any purpose beyond those described in this policy without your consent.

3. Data Sharing

• Students are also responsible for safeguarding their own personal data, such as login credentials or payment details, when interacting with us.
• No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; while we take reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
