Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
At Venustech, we respect your privacy and take our responsibility to protect your personal information seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you interact with our coaching and mentoring services. We believe in transparency—you deserve to know exactly what happens with your information.
Information We Collect
Personal Information You Provide
When you reach out to us or enroll in our programs, we collect information that you voluntarily share. This typically includes your name, email address, phone number, professional background, and career goals. If you participate in our coaching sessions, we may also collect notes about your progress and development areas—but only with your consent.
Automatically Collected Data
Like most websites, we gather certain information automatically through cookies and similar technologies. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you interact with our site. We use this data to understand visitor patterns and improve your experience.
Data Type | Purpose | Retention Period |
---|---|---|
Contact Information | Communication and service delivery | Duration of relationship plus 2 years |
Session Notes | Track coaching progress | 5 years from last session |
Website Analytics | Improve user experience | 24 months |
Payment Information | Process transactions | 7 years (tax compliance) |
How We Use Your Information
We're pretty straightforward about data use. Everything we collect serves a specific purpose related to providing quality coaching services. Here's what we do with your information:
- Deliver coaching and mentoring services tailored to your needs
- Communicate with you about sessions, schedules, and program updates
- Process payments and maintain financial records
- Send occasional newsletters with career development insights (you can opt out anytime)
- Analyze trends to improve our programs and teaching methods
- Comply with legal obligations and protect against fraud
We don't sell your personal information to third parties. Period. That's not our business model, and frankly, we think it's a terrible practice.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
While we don't sell your data, we do share it with select service providers who help us run our business. These partnerships are necessary for delivering quality services, but we're careful about who we work with.
Our Service Partners Include:
- Payment Processors: Secure payment handling through encrypted platforms
- Email Services: Communication and newsletter delivery systems
- Cloud Storage: Secure data storage with enterprise-level protection
- Analytics Tools: Website performance and visitor behavior analysis
All our partners are contractually obligated to protect your data and can only use it for the specific services they provide to us. We conduct regular reviews to make sure they maintain appropriate security standards.
Your Privacy Rights
Under various privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar state regulations, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. We honor these rights for all our clients, regardless of location.
- Access Your Data: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Correct Inaccuracies: Ask us to update or fix incorrect information
- Delete Your Data: Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal retention requirements)
- Opt Out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time
- Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured, commonly used format
- Restrict Processing: Limit how we use your information under certain circumstances
To exercise any of these rights, just send us an email at contact@g-calendar-mac-app.com. We'll respond within 30 days and won't discriminate against you for making such requests.
Security Measures
We take data security seriously and use industry-standard practices to protect your information. Our approach includes both technical safeguards and organizational policies designed to prevent unauthorized access.
Technical Protections
- End-to-end encryption for data transmission using TLS 1.3 protocols
- Encrypted storage for sensitive information at rest
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Multi-factor authentication for staff access to client data
- Firewall protection and intrusion detection systems
Organizational Safeguards
Only authorized team members can access client information, and only when necessary for providing services. All staff receive regular privacy training and sign confidentiality agreements. We maintain detailed logs of data access for audit purposes.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies—small text files stored on your device—to enhance functionality and gather analytics. You have control over cookie usage through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies might affect site functionality.
Types of Cookies We Use:
Essential Cookies: Required for basic site operations like security and network management. These can't be disabled without breaking the site.
Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it. These are optional but helpful.
Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings for a better experience on return visits.
We don't use advertising cookies or allow third-party ad networks to track you on our site. The analytics we collect stay with us and our trusted service providers.
Data Retention and Deletion
We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide services and comply with legal obligations. Different types of data have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements.
Standard Retention Periods
Active client data remains accessible during your engagement with us and for two years afterward, unless you request earlier deletion. Financial records must be retained for seven years to comply with IRS regulations. Session notes and coaching materials are kept for five years to support ongoing development conversations and reference.
Deletion Procedures
When retention periods expire or you request deletion, we permanently remove your data from active systems. Backup copies are automatically purged during routine backup cycles, typically within 90 days. Some information may need to be retained longer for legal reasons—if that's the case, we'll let you know.
Children's Privacy
Our services are designed for professional adults and career development. We don't knowingly collect information from individuals under 18 years old. If we discover we've inadvertently collected data from a minor, we'll delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
Privacy laws and business practices change over time. We'll update this policy as needed to reflect new legal requirements or changes in how we handle data. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you via email and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information. Continued use of our services after policy updates indicates acceptance of the changes.
