Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Hemisi Sosihe ("we," "us," or "the program") operates an educational platform focused on beginner digital photography instruction. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website and program-related communications, how that information is used, and the choices available to you. This policy applies to visitors of hemisi-sosihe.info and to individuals who contact us regarding the program.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number and message content when you submit a contact form. We also collect limited technical information automatically when you browse the site, including approximate location derived from IP address, browser type, device type and pages viewed, typically through cookies and similar technologies described in Section 4.

3. How We Use Your Information

Information submitted through the contact form is used to respond to inquiries about program formats, availability and scheduling. Technical browsing information is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the site and to identify pages that may need improvement. We do not use collected information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies for necessary site functions, and, where permitted by your preferences, for functional, analytics and advertising measurement purposes. You can manage these categories at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link available in the bottom corner of every page. Preferences are stored in a cookie named hsi_consent for a limited period before expiring.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

For residents of states with applicable privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), our processing of personal information is based on your consent for optional cookie categories and on our legitimate interest in operating and improving an informational website. Necessary cookies and direct communications you initiate are processed to provide the service you requested.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with service providers who help operate the website, such as hosting and analytics providers, under obligations to protect that information. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety or property of the program or others.

7. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to the inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for recordkeeping, generally not exceeding 24 months unless a longer period is required by law. Cookie preference records are retained for the duration set in Section 4 or until you clear your browser cookies.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of certain sharing for advertising purposes. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 12. We will verify your request before taking action and will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

9. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in a manner inconsistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and remove it as appropriate.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information submitted through the website.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
