Nature of the Project

The Ihsan Agile framework, documentation, templates, and resources are free and open-source, available under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0). There is no charge for access, use, or implementation.

Personal Information We Collect

When you visit ihsanagile.org, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some installed cookies. As you browse the site, we collect information about the pages you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the site, and how you interact with the site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as "Device Information."

Legal Basis for Processing:

Legitimate interests: Responding to enquiries, providing framework resources, operating the website

What We Don't Do: Personal data is not used for commercial profiling, targeted advertising, lead generation for third parties, or resale.

Our top priority is visitor data security. We process only minimal data, only as much as absolutely necessary to operate the website and support the Ihsan Agile community. Information collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding website usage. This statistical information is not aggregated in such a way that it would identify any particular user.

You can visit the website without telling us who you are or revealing identifying information. If, however, you wish to participate in the Pilot Programme, download resources, receive framework updates, or provide other details by filling a form, you may provide personal data to us, such as your email, name, organisation. You can choose not to provide personal data, but then you may not be able to take advantage of some features. For example, you won't be able to participate in the Pilot Programme. Users who are uncertain about what information is mandatory are welcome to contact us via admin@ihsanagile.org.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined above:

General enquiries: 2 years after last contact
Pilot Programme participants: Duration of participation + 3 years
Newsletter subscribers: Until you unsubscribe
Website analytics: Anonymised after 14 months
