Privacy Statement
Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. For this reason the we make every effort to protect all information collected. At no time is information collected shared with third parties. We host all information in the site database except for email, and avoid the use of third parties at all times.
This Privacy Policy describes our policies regarding the collection, use, and protection of information provided through:
- Online collaboration: use of our social media platform, forums, chat, and messaging.
- Email communications: inquiries submitted via email (Vendor: Gmail)
- Subscription requests: requests to receive one or more digital distributions. (Vendor: Gmail)
- Course registration: information provided when registering to take an online course.
- Event registration: information provided when registering to attend an offered event.
- Store: information provided when ordering merchandise from our store.
Legal Requests
Unless it is obvious from the evidence that you are engaging in conspiracy to commit an immediate and material crime we treat all legal requests under the presumption of malfeasance, and exercise every possible avenue of resistance. However, if you violate our Code of Conduct and “Cross the Line” into conspiracy to take action, we must comply – it is in the interests of everyone.
Right to Information
Under the law of some countries, you may have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal information. You may also have the right to correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information and to obtain the personal information you provided to us in a specified format. We collect no information about you ‘by indirect means’, and avoid any opportunity to do so.
These rights to information may be limited in certain circumstances, if your request would reveal personal information about another person.
Our policy is to delete all communication and collaboration information related to your account, because the software makes it possible to do so – with some remaining manual cleanup.
Information Collection and Use
We employ third party services for website analytics: Google Analytics.
It is possible to post ‘articles’, ‘comments’, and ‘messages’ to various groups with various degrees of transparency. Because almost anyone can register and participate in the public groups, and one must take a course to participate in the course groups and forums, you should be mindful of what you choose to disclose in different contexts – some of which are nearly public.
Storing and Securing Your Personal Data and Information
We take all reasonable measures to:
- Protect your personal data and information, and to protect our website from unauthorized access to, or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of, information we possess. This is extremely difficult as daily news of hacking reminds us. We use commercially available software to minimize this risk.
- Ensure that we are in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GFPR) regardless of where your personal data may be stored and processed.
Reserved Rights
We reserve the right to change this policy at any time without prior written notification. The Privacy Policy listed here will always be our active policy.
To exercise any of these rights or if you have any related questions, suggestions, or complaints, you can contact us via the Contact page.
