Your privacy matters. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have about your information. If you interact with the site, sign up for program communications, or apply for mentorship, this policy explains how data is handled and protected.
We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, organization, and details you include in mentorship applications or contact forms. We may also collect analytics data about how you use the site, including page views, device type, and referral information, to help us improve content and service delivery.
Information provided during applications is used to assess fit for mentorship programs, schedule sessions, and communicate about program logistics. Analytics and usage data are used to measure site performance, understand which content is most helpful, and prioritize improvements. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
The site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide essential functionality and to collect usage statistics. Cookies allow us to remember preferences and enable certain features. Analytics cookies help us measure traffic and understand site usage patterns. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings, although disabling cookies may affect site functionality.
We may use third-party service providers to host the site, process payments, send email communications, or provide analytics. These providers may process data on our behalf and follow strict contractual terms to protect your information. We require vendors to maintain appropriate safeguards and use data only for contracted purposes.
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, and for legitimate business purposes such as maintaining records of mentorship agreements. If you request deletion of your personal data, we will take reasonable steps to remove the information from active systems, subject to legal or contractual retention requirements.
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. These measures include access controls, encryption where appropriate, and routine security assessments. While we strive to protect your data, no system is completely secure; we maintain incident response procedures to address potential breaches promptly.
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, request corrections, or request deletion where legally permitted. You can opt out of marketing communications by following unsubscribe instructions in any email. For specific requests, contact the site administrator through the provided contact methods on the site.
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When significant changes occur, we will post a notice on the site and, if appropriate, notify users who have provided contact information. Continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have questions about this privacy policy or want to exercise your rights related to your personal information, please use the site’s contact form or administrative contact options provided on the site. We will respond to inquiries in a timely manner and within any required legal timeframes.
