Data We Collect

We may collect identifiers such as name and contact details, account and enrollment information, payment-related records, course participation details, communications, device and usage data, and any information users choose to submit in forms, assessments, or support requests. We limit collection to what is reasonably needed to operate the website, deliver spiritual growth courses for executives, manage accounts, and maintain security.

The categories of data collected depend on how users interact with the site and course services.

How We Collect Data

We receive personal data directly from users when they create an account, register for a course, make a purchase, complete forms, or contact us. We also collect certain data automatically through the website, including device identifiers, browser details, log data, and interaction records. In some cases, we receive limited information from payment processors, analytics providers, and other operational partners that help us run the service.

Information comes from users, their devices, and service providers involved in site operations.

Cookies We Use

The site may use essential cookies to keep pages secure and support core functions, preference cookies to remember settings, and analytics cookies to understand traffic and improve performance. Cookies may be session-based or persistent depending on their purpose. We do not use cookies to collect more information than is needed for the stated operational purposes.

We use a limited set of cookies for operation, preferences, and analytics.

Cookie Controls

Users can usually control cookies through their browser settings and, where available, site preference tools. Blocking some cookies may affect login, checkout, course access, or other site functions. We do not rely on cookie controls to replace any consent or notice required by law, and we may still use cookies that are necessary for security, session management, and basic operation.

Browser settings and device tools can be used to limit non-essential cookies.

How We Use Data

We use personal data to create and manage accounts, process registrations and payments, provide course access, communicate about services, respond to inquiries, maintain records, improve site performance, detect fraud or misuse, and meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations. We may also use limited data to analyze how the site is used so we can maintain and improve functionality.

Processing is limited to operational, contractual, and compliance needs.

02 · Sharing

Service Providers and Partners

We may share personal data with payment processors, hosting providers, analytics services, customer support tools, email or messaging providers, and other vendors that help operate the website and deliver courses. These parties are expected to use the data only for the services they provide to us and to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

Service providers receive only the information needed to perform their assigned functions.

03 · Legal basis

Legal Disclosures

We may disclose personal data when required to comply with law, court orders, lawful requests, tax or accounting obligations, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users, the site, or others. We may also share information when needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Disclosure to public authorities is limited to lawful requests or mandatory reporting duties.

User Rights

Your Rights

Subject to legal limits, users may request access to their personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of certain data, restriction of processing in some cases, or objection to processing based on legitimate interests where applicable. Users may also review and update account information through the site where such features are available.

Available rights may vary based on the nature of the request and applicable law.

Requests

How to Make a Request

To protect user data, we may ask for information needed to confirm identity and understand the request. We will review verified requests and respond within a reasonable period under applicable law. If we cannot fully comply, we will explain the reason where permitted.

We may need to verify identity before acting on a privacy request.

Data Retention

Retention periods depend on the type of data, the purpose for which it was collected, account status, transaction history, support needs, and any legal or accounting requirements. When data is no longer needed, we delete it, anonymize it, or retain it in a restricted form where law or legitimate operational needs require it.

We keep data only for as long as needed for the stated purpose or legal recordkeeping.

Policy Updates

Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes, we will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date or other notice as appropriate. Continued use of the site after an update means the revised policy applies to future processing, subject to any rights that cannot be limited by law.
