This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service. Please read this policy
carefully. If you do not agree with its terms, please discontinue use of the Service.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide Directly
We collect information you voluntarily provide when you register an account, enrol in a workshop, submit assignments, participate in exercises, or
contact us. This may include:
Account and registration data: your name, email address, password, and any profile details you choose to add.
Payment and billing data: billing name, address, and payment card details. Payment transactions are processed by third-party
payment processors; we do not store full card numbers on our servers.
Workshop and learning data: responses to assignments, exercise submissions, progress records, feedback you give or receive, and
any content you create or upload within the platform.
Communications: messages you send us via email, contact forms, or in-platform messaging tools.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you access the Service, certain data is collected automatically through standard web technologies:
Usage data: pages visited, features used, time spent, click paths, and interactions with course content.
Device and technical data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, language preferences, and
referring URLs.
Cookies and similar technologies: we use cookies, local storage, and similar tracking technologies to maintain sessions, remember
preferences, and analyse usage patterns. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may
affect Service functionality.
1.3 Information from Third Parties
If you choose to sign in using a third-party authentication provider (such as Google or LinkedIn), we receive basic profile information permitted
by that provider and your privacy settings on that platform. We may also receive information from analytics partners and payment processors in
connection with your use of the Service.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
Providing and operating the Service: creating and managing your account, delivering workshop content, processing enrolments and
payments, and enabling collaborative tools.
Personalisation and learning support: tracking your progress, tailoring content recommendations, and providing instructors with
the information needed to support your learning journey.
Communication: sending transactional messages such as enrolment confirmations, receipts, password resets, and important service
notices. With your consent, we may also send promotional communications about new workshops, features, or offers.
Improving the Service: analysing usage patterns, conducting research, testing new features, and fixing technical issues to
enhance the platform for all participants.
Security and fraud prevention: monitoring for suspicious activity, enforcing our Terms of Service, and protecting the rights and
safety of our users and the platform.
Legal compliance: meeting applicable legal obligations, responding to lawful requests from authorities, and resolving disputes.
3. Legal Bases for Processing
Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal data, we rely on the following:
Contract performance: processing necessary to fulfil our agreement with you, including providing access to workshops and
processing payments.
Legitimate interests: processing necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as improving the Service, ensuring
security, and communicating relevant updates, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights.
Consent: where you have given clear consent, such as subscribing to marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any
time.
Legal obligation: processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
4. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
4.1 Service Providers
We share information with trusted third-party vendors and service providers who assist us in operating the Service, including cloud hosting
providers, payment processors, email delivery services, analytics platforms, and customer support tools. These parties are authorised to use your
information only as necessary to provide services to us and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
4.2 Instructors and Facilitators
Workshop instructors and facilitators may access participant information such as names, progress data, and assignment submissions to the extent
necessary to deliver and support the learning experience.
4.3 Other Participants
Certain features of the Service are collaborative by design. Content you submit to group exercises, discussion boards, or peer-review activities
may be visible to other enrolled participants. Please be mindful of what you share in these contexts.
4.4 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of
that transaction. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice on the Service before your information becomes subject to a materially
different privacy policy.
4.5 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal
obligation, protect and defend our rights or property, prevent fraud or illegal activity, or protect the safety of our users or the public.
4.6 No Sale of Personal Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
5. International Data Transfers
Hyjywae serves a global audience. Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These
countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction. Where such transfers occur, we take appropriate steps to
ensure your information receives an adequate level of protection, including through the use of standard contractual clauses or other lawful
transfer mechanisms.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. We also retain information as
necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention
and improving the Service. When information is no longer required, we delete or anonymise it in a secure manner.
If you request deletion of your account, we will remove your personal information from our active systems within a reasonable period, subject to
any retention obligations imposed by law.

8. Marketing Communications
We may send you promotional emails about workshops, features, or other offerings we believe may interest you. You can opt out of marketing

10. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we become
aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with

11. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration,
disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit, access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no
method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Please notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised
access to your account.
