Privacy Notice
This notice explains what happens to your information when you book a mock SOC interview with me. I've kept it in plain English. If anything is unclear, email me at privacy@bilalazeemcyber.com.
Who I am
I'm Bilal Azeem, a sole trader based in Ireland. I decide how your information is used, which makes me the "data controller" under the GDPR. This is a personal service and is not connected with any employer.
What I collect
- Booking details: your name, email address, the time you book, and your answers on the booking form, including the link to your LinkedIn profile or CV. It's a link, not a file. If you choose to email me your CV, I'll have that too.
- Payment: Stripe takes your card payment. I see that you paid and the amount, but never your full card number.
- The session: my notes and scores from the interview and, only if you tick the consent box when booking, a recording of the call and a transcript made from it.
- Your written summary: the feedback document I send you after the session.
Why I use it
- To arrange and run your session and write your summary. This is needed to deliver what you've paid for.
- To record the call, only with your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time before or during the session, and I won't record.
- To keep payment records, because Irish tax law requires it.
I never sell your information or use it for marketing.
Who else handles your data
I use a small number of trusted services to run the booking, payment, video call, email and the software that helps me write your summary. Booking data (Cal.com) is processed in the USA under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Ask me and I'll tell you exactly which services are used.
How long I keep it
- Recordings, transcripts, my notes and your booking answers: deleted 30 days after your session.
- Your written summary: kept, so I can answer any questions about it later. Ask and I'll delete my copy.
- Payment records: kept for six years, as Irish tax law requires.
- I also keep your scores in an anonymous form, with no name attached, to see which topics people find hardest.
This website
This site uses no cookies, no analytics and no tracking. The booking calendar (Cal.com) and the payment page (Stripe) may set their own cookies when you use them. Their privacy policies apply to those.
Your rights
You can ask me for a copy of your information, ask me to correct it or delete it, object to how I use it, or withdraw your recording consent. Email privacy@bilalazeemcyber.com and I'll reply within a month.
If you're unhappy with how I've handled your information, you can complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.
