2. Purposes of processing

  • Service delivery: handling enquiries, managing bookings and organising leadership programs, workshops and sessions.

  • Analysis and improvement: conducting anonymised or aggregated analysis of website usage and program feedback to refine content, formats and user experience.
  • Legal and administrative obligations: meeting applicable Canadian requirements related to records, documentation and compliance.
  • Communication: sending information about schedules, logistics or program updates where this is relevant, and sending optional newsletters or updates when you have chosen to receive them (you can unsubscribe at any time).
  • Security: protecting our systems, detecting irregular activity and maintaining the integrity of the website and related services.

3. Storage and security

Your data is transmitted via secure connections (TLS/SSL) and stored on servers that apply recognised technical and organisational safeguards. Access is restricted to authorised personnel who are required to maintain confidentiality.

  • Program-related records: generally kept for up to 5 years after the last interaction, or longer where required by law (for example, invoicing records).
  • Technical logs: typically retained for up to 12 months and then deleted or anonymised.
  • Consent records: retained for as long as the consent is relied upon and for an appropriate period afterwards to demonstrate compliance.

Personal data is shared only when necessary for the purposes described above or when we are legally required to do so:

  • Hosting and IT service providers that support the operation and maintenance of the website.
  • Service providers involved in scheduling, communication tools or secure payment processing.
  • Professional advisers where needed (for example, legal or accounting support).
  • Public authorities or regulators when applicable law requires disclosure.

We do not sell personal data and do not share it with third parties for independent advertising campaigns.

5. Your rights

Depending on your place of residence and the laws that apply (including Canadian law and, where relevant, the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation), you may have some or all of the following rights:

  • The right to request access to the personal data we hold about you,
  • The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data,
  • The right to request deletion of your data, within the limits of legal or contractual obligations,
  • The right to request restriction of processing in specific circumstances,
  • The right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, where applicable,
  • The right to object to certain types of processing, such as direct electronic communication where permitted by law,
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on your consent.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details provided below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.

6. Legal bases and applicable laws

The way we collect and use data is guided by the following frameworks:

  • In Canada, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and any applicable provincial rules, which are based on consent, appropriate purposes and reasonable collection.
  • Where the GDPR applies (for example for some visitors from the EU/EEA or UK), processing may rely on Article 6(1)(a)–(f) GDPR, including consent, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests such as running and improving our programs and website, provided these interests are balanced with your rights.

7. International transfers

As a Canadian organisation, we may store or process data in Canada and in other countries. If personal data is transferred to a country with different data protection rules, we take reasonable steps to ensure an appropriate level of protection, for example by using contractual safeguards or working with providers that apply recognised data protection standards, where required by law.

8. Updates to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective as of” date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Substantial changes may be highlighted on the website or communicated by e-mail where appropriate.

1. Commitment to data protection

Prime Guidance Academy is based in Canada and follows Canadian privacy rules such as PIPEDA. For visitors and participants located in the EU/EEA or UK, we also aim to align our processing with the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including lawfulness, fairness, transparency, data minimisation and security.

2. Data minimisation

We only collect personal data that is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, such as organising programs, communicating with participants and operating the website. We avoid collecting information that is not relevant to these purposes.

3. Technical and organisational measures

  • Encryption of communications using TLS/SSL where appropriate.
  • Use of reputable hosting and service providers with suitable safeguards.
  • Access controls and internal rules that limit data access to authorised persons.
  • Regular monitoring and updates of security-related components and procedures.

4. Rights of individuals under the GDPR

Where the GDPR applies, individuals may exercise the rights outlined in section 5 of the Privacy Policy above, including access, rectification, deletion, restriction, portability and objection, subject to the limits provided by law.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority, in particular in the EU/EEA member state of your habitual residence or place of work, or with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada for matters falling under Canadian rules.

5. Retention

Personal data is kept only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Once retention periods expire, data is deleted or anonymised in a secure manner.
