Privacy Policy

The Africa Digital Health Academy (ADHA) is a digital-health training academy based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This policy explains what personal data we collect on adha.edu.et (including lms.adha.edu.et) and how we use it. Questions: [email protected].

Account data: your name, email address, profession and country, provided when you register.

Learning records: course progress, assessment results and certificates earned, stored in our learning platform (Moodle).

AI tutor conversations: questions you ask the ADHA tutor are processed to generate answers. They are sent to our language-model provider without your account identity attached.

Technical data: IP addresses and security logs, kept briefly to protect the platform.

To protect the community, every membership applicant is verified before joining. The application form asks for a link to your professional profile (LinkedIn or an equivalent, such as an institutional page or ORCID) and a photo or scan of a government identity document.

The identity document is used for one purpose only: confirming that the application is genuine. It is stored outside our public systems, excluded from our backups, and permanently deleted as soon as your application is decided — whether approved or not. ADHA does not keep identity documents. Our records retain only the fact that verification took place.

The application form saves your progress as you type, so you can finish later. If an application is left unfinished, the ADHA office may contact you to help you complete it; unfinished drafts and any uploaded document are deleted after 30 days.

We use essential session cookies only (sign-in, language preference). No advertising cookies and no third-party tracking.

The platform is hosted on Microsoft Azure (South Africa North region, Johannesburg). Connections are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS). Backups are retained for 14 days. Administrative access is strictly limited.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data by emailing [email protected]. We handle personal data in line with Ethiopia's Personal Data Protection Proclamation No. 1321/2024.

We may update this policy from time to time; the date at the top of this page shows the latest revision.
