4) Why we use your information (purposes & legal bases)

We process information to:

Provide and improve the Services (operate sites, host courses, run cohorts, match mentors, support users).

Personalize learning (recommend content, resources, or opportunities).

Communicate with you (service updates, reminders, transactional emails, and—if you opt in—newsletters).

Process payments and manage subscriptions, scholarships, and discounts.

Ensure safety and integrity (moderate communities, prevent fraud/abuse, enforce Terms).

Analyze and improve (measure performance, research, develop new features).

Comply with law (tax, accounting, legal requests) and protect our rights.

Legal bases (EEA/UK/Switzerland): contract (to provide Services), legitimate interests (to secure and improve Services), consent (for certain cookies/marketing), and legal obligations.

5) Cookies, analytics, and advertising choices

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

Essential functions: login, security, load balancing.

Analytics: to understand usage and improve the experience.

Marketing (optional): to measure outreach and, where applicable, show or measure ads.

Your choices:

Use your browser or device controls to block/clear cookies.

If offered, adjust preferences in our on-site Cookie Preferences manager.

Some browsers send Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals; where required by law, we treat GPC as a “do not sell/share” opt-out.

We do not respond to legacy “Do Not Track” signals.

6) How we share information

We share information with:

Service providers/Processors that help us host, store, analyze, support, email, process payments, run events, and provide community tools. They are contractually bound to use data only to provide services to us.

Mentors, staff, and cohort peers (limited profile/program data to facilitate mentoring and collaboration).

Event attendees (your name, photo, or chat may be visible in live sessions and recordings).

Partners (e.g., scholarship sponsors or delivery partners) when you participate via a partner program—details provided at enrollment.

Law enforcement or regulators where required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity.

Business transfers (merger, acquisition, financing, or transition, including any evolution toward a nonprofit structure).

We do not sell personal information for money. Where “sell” or “share” is defined to include cross-context behavioral advertising (e.g., under the California CPRA), we either do not engage in such activity or we provide an opt-out where required.

7) AI and automated tools

We may use trusted AI-enabled tools (e.g., transcription, summarization, content moderation, tutoring aids) to operate and improve the Services. When we do:

Vendors act as processors under contract and are prohibited from using your data to train models for others.

We apply access controls, minimization, and retention limits consistent with this Policy.

8) Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described, including providing the Services, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Typical retention examples:

Account and program records: while your account is active and for a reasonable period after closure.

Payment records: per tax and accounting laws.

Event recordings and coursework: for learning resources and quality assurance unless you request removal where feasible.

9) Your rights & choices

US residents (including CA/CO/CT/UT/VA and similar laws)

Subject to exceptions, you may have the right to:

Access/know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collected about you;

Delete personal information;

Correct inaccuracies;

Opt out of “sale”/“sharing” (as defined by law) and certain targeted advertising;

Limit use/disclosure of sensitive personal information where applicable;

Appeal a denial of a privacy request.

California notice at collection: we collect the categories described in Sections 3(a)–(c) for the purposes in Section 4, retain them as in Section 8, and disclose them as in Section 6. We do not sell personal information for money. We only “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising if you have opted in and may honor GPC signals as opt-outs where applicable.

EEA/UK/Switzerland

You may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing, and data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior processing). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

International transfers: When transferring data outside your region (e.g., to the US), we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful mechanisms.

10) Children’s privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or older minimum age where required by local law). If you believe a child has provided us information, contact [email protected] and we will take appropriate steps.

11) Security

We use technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data we process (e.g., encryption in transit, access controls, logging, backups). No system is 100% secure; you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and promptly notifying us of any suspected unauthorized access.

12) Payments and third parties

Payments are processed by third-party processors (e.g., card networks and gateways). Their privacy practices apply in addition to ours. Our Services may link to third-party sites or tools; we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

13) Community features and public content

Content you post in public or cohort spaces (forums, chats, showcases) may be visible to others. Please do not share sensitive personal information in public areas. You can request we remove your public content where feasible; copies may remain in backups or where retention is required by law.

14) Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” will reflect the latest version. Material changes will be highlighted on our site. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept the updated Policy.
