Information We Collect
We collect different types of information, depending on how you interact with our website. First, we may collect personal identification information (PII), which includes your name, email address, phone number (including your contact number +91 8072659902), billing and shipping address, payment information processed through third-party secure gateways, and in some cases, professional information such as job title and employer if shared during account creation or while using our services. Additionally, we collect usage data to help us understand how users interact with our site. This information may include your IP address, browser type and version, the date and time of your visit, the pages you visited, and how much time you spent on these pages. We may also track unique device identifiers and diagnostic data to enhance our services and website performance. To personalize your experience and improve our services, we use cookies and other tracking technologies such as web beacons, tags, and scripts. Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store data related to your preferences and interactions with our website. Web beacons are invisible markers that track your activities across specific sections of our site. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling them may impact the functionality of our website.

How We Use the Information
The information we collect serves various purposes. First and foremost, it helps us provide and maintain our services, allowing us to manage your registration, facilitate course enrollment, and process payments. We use this data to communicate with you, whether by sending updates, customer support messages, newsletters, or marketing materials. If you prefer not to receive marketing communications, you can opt-out at any time. Moreover, we analyze the information collected to monitor the website’s performance, identify issues, and enhance its design and functionality. Our goal is to personalize your experience and ensure you get the most out of our services. In addition to these uses, we may retain your information to fulfill legal obligations, such as tax records, especially as per our GSTIN requirements (29AQOPB7596G1Z8), or to comply with local and international data protection regulations.

Sharing Your Information
When necessary, we may share your personal information with third parties. We use trusted service providers to perform various tasks on our behalf, such as processing payments, hosting our website, providing cloud storage, conducting data analytics, and offering customer support. These service providers only have access to your personal data to the extent required to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to protect it. In the event of a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may be transferred to another entity. We will notify you of such a transfer and provide you with an opportunity to opt out if desired. Additionally, we may be required to disclose your personal data in response to legal obligations, such as a court order or government request, or to prevent fraud, misuse of our services, or violation of our terms and conditions.

Data Security
We take the security of your data very seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. These security measures include the use of SSL encryption to secure data transmission between your browser and our servers, access controls to restrict data to authorized personnel only, and anonymization of data wherever possible to ensure that it cannot be linked back to you directly. Despite these efforts, it is important to note that no method of online data transmission or storage is completely secure. While we do our best to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your Data Protection Rights
You have several rights regarding the personal data we collect, which may vary depending on the applicable data protection regulations (such as GDPR or CCPA). These rights include the right to access your data, allowing you to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. You also have the right to request corrections if any of the information is inaccurate or incomplete. If you wish to have your data erased, you may request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain conditions, such as our legal obligation to retain records for tax purposes. Additionally, you have the right to object to the processing of your data, particularly when it is used for direct marketing. If you withdraw your consent to data processing, we will cease processing your personal data unless there are compelling legitimate grounds that override your objections or where the data is required for legal purposes.

Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. The retention period depends on several factors, such as the nature of the information and the reasons for which it was collected. For example, we may retain personal data to meet our legal obligations or for legitimate business purposes, such as maintaining accurate financial records. When your personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymize it so that it can no longer be used to identify you.

Children’s Privacy
Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under this age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it from our records as soon as possible. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

International Data Transfers
Tech-Ikigai Trainings operates globally, and as a result, your personal data may be processed or stored outside of your home country. In such cases, we take steps to ensure that your data is protected in accordance with local data protection laws and international standards. We apply suitable safeguards, including contractual agreements, to ensure that your privacy is maintained regardless of where your data is processed.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites and services. These external sites are not operated or controlled by Tech-Ikigai Trainings, and we are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or any data collection that may occur on those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing any personal information or engaging with their services.
