This section is provided to clearly explain how Empactify handles SMS/text messaging consent and related data.

a) How you opt in

You may opt in to receive SMS messages from Empactify by submitting your phone number through an Empactify web form (for example, workshop registration, consultation request, or educational resource access) and affirmatively consenting via a checkbox or other explicit consent mechanism.

b) What texts we may send

Depending on what you opt in to receive, messages may include:

Workshop/webinar confirmations and reminders

Educational resources and follow-up guidance

Service-related updates (e.g., scheduling, program information)

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message.
For help, reply HELP or contact [email protected].

e) Important: no sale/sharing of mobile data for marketing

Empactify does not sell your mobile number or SMS opt-in information.
Mobile information (including phone numbers and SMS consent data) will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

f) Service providers

We may share your phone number and messaging data only with vendors that help us deliver messages (e.g., messaging platforms, carriers, and technical service providers) and only to provide messaging services on our behalf, under contractual restrictions.

6) 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/device controls to block/clear cookies

If offered, adjust preferences in a 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

7) How we share information

We share information with:

Service providers/Processors that help us host, store, analyze, support, email, process payments, run events, provide messaging, and operate 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/community participants (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/regulators where required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity

Business transfers (merger, acquisition, financing, or restructuring)

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

8) 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

9) 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

SMS consent records: for as long as needed to demonstrate compliance and honor your preferences

10) Your rights & choices

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. 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.

11) 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.

12) 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.

13) 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.

14) 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.

15) 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.
