This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you engage with our website, services, and community.

By using our website or investing in our services, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

Our Philosophy of Privacy

We believe privacy is not just a legal obligation, it is a sacred trust. Every piece of information you share with us is treated with reverence and responsibility. We do not exploit, sell, or misuse your data. We use it only to serve you better, improve our offerings, and fulfill our mission with transparency and grace.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:

Participate in events, surveys, or feedback sessions.

This may include:

Your name, email address, phone number

Technical data such as IP address, browser type, and device identifiers.

When you join the DP Community or invest in any of our pathways, we collect your name and email address to send you updates, resources, and invitations aligned with your journey.

Privacy and Confidentiality Policy:

Defining Paths International LLC and its affiliates, partners, and collaborators are committed to safeguarding all sensitive, private, and confidential information shared before, during, and after engagement. This includes, but is not limited to, video-recorded sessions, voice calls, written correspondence via email, text, messaging platforms, and any other communication channels.

All information shall be held in reverence and treated with the utmost care, discretion, and integrity.

Both parties agree to the following terms:

Non-Disclosure and Limited Use
No private or confidential information shall be disclosed, reproduced, distributed, or used for any purpose outside the scope of fulfilling obligations under this agreement, unless:
(a) prior written consent is explicitly granted by the disclosing party;
(b) disclosure is reasonably necessary for the resolution of a dispute between the parties or in connection with a formal mediation, arbitration, or legal proceeding arising from this agreement; or
(c) disclosure is legally required by subpoena, court order, or other binding legal process. In such cases, the disclosing party shall be notified promptly, unless such notice is legally prohibited.

Ongoing Confidentiality
The duty of confidentiality shall survive the termination or expiration of services and remain in effect indefinitely.
Intellectual Property and Proprietary Protection
Each party agrees to honor and protect the other’s intellectual property, proprietary frameworks, sacred systems, ceremonial language, rituals, onboarding processes, and sensitive client data.
Use of Feedback and Testimonials
Anonymized feedback or testimonials may be used for marketing or promotional purposes only with the client’s prior written consent. No identifying details shall be shared without explicit permission.

Digital Safeguards and Data Handling:

Secure Storage and Access
All digital records, including session recordings, documents, and correspondence, are stored using encrypted systems and secure cloud platforms with restricted access. Only authorized personnel directly involved in service delivery may access such data.
Third-Party Platforms
Communication and service delivery may involve third-party platforms (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, email providers, scheduling tools). While we select platforms with strong privacy and security standards, each platform operates under its own privacy policy. Clients are encouraged to review these policies independently.
Data Minimization and Retention
Only essential data is collected and retained for the duration necessary to fulfill service obligations, legal requirements, or mutual agreements. Upon request, clients may receive a summary of stored data or request deletion of non-essential records.
Consent for Recording
All video or audio recordings are conducted with prior consent. Clients may opt out of recording at any time, and recordings will never be shared or used beyond service delivery without explicit written permission or legal obligation.

Investing in Our Services

When you invest in our services, we collect necessary details to process your payment and deliver your experience. You may be asked to confirm your agreement to our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. If not explicitly confirmed, submitting payment constitutes your consent.

We may send follow-up emails to support your progress. You may opt out of future communications at any time.

Cookies and Analytics

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience. These small files help us:

Remember your preferences

Improve accessibility and performance.

We use Google Analytics to gather anonymous data about site usage. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not function properly without them.

Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share data with trusted third-party providers necessary to deliver our services—such as Stripe (for payments) and email platforms (for communication).

We do not control or access data stored by these providers beyond what is necessary for service delivery. Each third party is required to uphold strict data protection standards.

Your Rights and Choices

You have full control over your personal information. At any time, you may:

Request access to the data we hold about you
Correct or update your information
Request deletion of your data
Express concerns about how your data is used.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond with care and clarity.

Security

We take data protection seriously. All information is encrypted and transmitted securely using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. While no method of transmission is 100% secure, we implement industry-standard safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy is effective as of the date listed above. We may update it from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements.
