Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Harness Institute ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit harness.institute, register for a workshop, contact us, apply to teach, or otherwise interact with our services.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

  • Contact details you provide, such as name, email address, company, role, and message content.
  • Workshop registration details, including attendance information, training interests, communication preferences, and feedback.
  • Trainer application details, such as professional background, location, language skills, links you submit, and any application materials you choose to share.
  • Website usage data, including pages visited, referrers, device and browser information, and approximate location derived from network data.

How We Use Information

We use personal information to:

  • Respond to inquiries and manage workshop requests.
  • Plan, deliver, and improve training programs.
  • Process trainer applications and related communications.
  • Send operational messages about workshops, registrations, or applications.
  • Understand website performance, campaign performance, and content usefulness.

Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the website, measure performance, improve content, and remember basic preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may work less reliably if cookies are disabled.

Third-Party Services

We use service providers for hosting, analytics, email delivery, workshop scheduling, form handling, and event operations. These providers process data only where needed to provide their services to us.

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us run the website, communicate with you, process registrations, or deliver workshops. We may also disclose information when required by law or when necessary to protect our rights, users, or services.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When information is no longer needed, we delete, anonymize, or securely archive it.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal information. You may also opt out of non-essential communications at any time.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No internet service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we work to reduce risk and limit access to personal information to people and systems that need it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will be posted on this page with the latest update date.
