Privacy Policy
How information submitted to Powaca Yavulu is handled.
This policy explains, in the order data actually moves through the site, what is collected, why it's collected, how long it's kept, and what choices are available. It applies to powaca-yavulu.info and to any application or contact request submitted through its forms.
1. Who This Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy applies to visitors of powaca-yavulu.info, operated from Chicago, Illinois. It describes the handling of personal information submitted through the contact form, the application process, and general browsing activity recorded through cookies described in Section 4. It does not apply to any third-party site linked from these pages, including the embedded map service referenced in Section 6.
2. Information We Collect Directly
When a contact form or application is submitted, the following may be collected: full name, email address, phone number, subject selection, and the content of the message field. Because the form is configured to open a local email client rather than transmit data to a server, the primary record of this information is the email sent from the visitor's own account, not a database maintained by this site.
3. Information Collected Automatically
Standard technical information, such as browser type, general device category, referring page, and approximate session duration, may be collected automatically through analytics cookies if that category is enabled in the cookie preference center. This information is aggregated and is not used to identify a specific individual on its own.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
This site uses a cookie preference system that separates cookies into Necessary, Analytics, Functional, and Advertising categories, consistent with the categories described in the separate Cookie Policy. A cookie storing the chosen preference is set once a selection is made in the consent modal. No category beyond Necessary is activated until a visitor makes an active choice.
5. How Information Is Used
Information submitted through the contact form or application process is used to respond to inquiries, review applications for curriculum access, and communicate access details once an application is approved. Automatically collected browsing information, where consented to, is used to understand which pages and lessons descriptions are viewed most, so page content can be organized more clearly.
6. Third-Party Services
The contact page embeds a map from a third-party mapping service to display the office location; interacting with that embedded map is subject to that provider's own privacy practices. Font and icon libraries loaded from content delivery networks may log basic request information as part of standard web infrastructure, separate from any data collected directly by this site.
7. Data Sharing
Personal information submitted through the forms is not sold and is not shared with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes. Limited information may be shared with service providers who help operate the site's technical infrastructure, strictly for the purpose of keeping the site functional and secure.
8. Data Retention
Since contact and application details are transmitted as an email from the visitor's own device rather than stored in a site database, retention of that specific message is governed by the visitor's own email account settings. Aggregated, non-identifying analytics data, where enabled, is retained only long enough to be useful for understanding general page usage patterns and is periodically reviewed for continued relevance.
9. Your Rights Under Applicable Law
Depending on residency, visitors may have rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, which this site does not engage in. Requests regarding these rights can be sent to [email protected].
10. Children's Privacy
This site is intended for adults exploring professional and career-related topics and is not directed at children under thirteen. Personal information is not knowingly collected from children under thirteen in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and any such information identified will be deleted upon discovery.
11. Data Security
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information handled in connection with this site, including the use of standard web security practices for the hosting infrastructure. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and this policy does not guarantee absolute security of any information submitted.
12. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in practices or applicable law. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision, and continued use of the site after an update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
