Information You Provide

We collect information you voluntarily submit when you:

• Contact Form: First name, last name, email address, phone number, program interest, and any message you include.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our site, basic technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting provider, including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URL. This is standard server log data and is not used to identify you personally.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your training inquiry or contact form submission
• Provide information about our programs and services
• Schedule and conduct training engagements

We will not send unsolicited marketing emails without your explicit consent.

4. Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Trusted third-party vendors who help us operate our website (e.g., web hosting, form processing, email delivery). These providers may only use your information to provide services to us.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect the safety and rights of our users or the public.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. Our site uses HTTPS encryption to protect data in transit. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
