01

Who We Are

This website is operated by Khireddine Zeghilet, founder of ZKAcademy. Our website, zkacademy.net, is dedicated to sharing architectural design services, educational content, and tutorials related to architecture, interior design, and 3D visualization.

02

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (also called a hash) may be created from your email address and provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available on their website. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

03

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

04

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

We also use cookies to track user behavior on our site through analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) and to improve your experience.

05

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles or tutorials on this site may include embedded content — videos, images, articles, and similar — from platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and others. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content — including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

06

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to any third parties. We may share data with trusted third-party services we use to operate this website:

All of these services are required to keep your data secure and confidential under applicable data protection laws.

07

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

08

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to:

• Receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you
• Request that we erase any personal data we hold about you

This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To make such a request, please email contact@zkacademy.net.

09

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, your data may be processed through secure third-party services such as Mailchimp or Google Analytics, which comply with international data protection standards.
