Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
The Center for Wellbeing (“we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when using our website, learning platform, courses, and related services.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use and protect that information, and the choices available to you regarding your personal data.
By accessing or using our platform, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect information that you provide directly to us when you create an account, enroll in a course, complete your profile, contact us, participate in learning activities, or otherwise interact with the platform.
This may include your name, email address, telephone number, profile information, account credentials, course enrollments, learning progress, assessment results, certificates, communication preferences, and information you provide when contacting our support team.
Where payments are required, payment-related information may be processed through our authorized payment service providers. We do not intend to store complete payment card details directly on the learning platform.
We may also automatically collect certain technical information, such as device type, browser type, IP address, operating system, access times, pages visited, and information about how you interact with the platform.
3. How We Use Your Information
We may use your information to provide and operate the learning platform, create and manage your account, process course enrollments, maintain your learning progress, administer assessments, issue certificates, process payments, and provide customer or technical support.
We may also use information to communicate important service updates, improve our courses and platform, maintain security, prevent misuse, troubleshoot technical issues, and comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
Where permitted, we may send you information about courses, programs, events, or services that may be relevant to you. You may opt out of promotional communications where an opt-out mechanism is provided.
4. Learning Activity and Progress
When you participate in a course, the platform may record information relating to your learning activity. This can include courses enrolled in, lessons accessed, video or content progress, assessment attempts and results, course completion status, and certificates earned.
This information is used to provide learning functionality, maintain your progress, support instructors and administrators where appropriate, and improve the effectiveness of our educational services.
5. Payments
Where paid courses or services are offered, payments may be processed through third-party payment service providers.
Payment providers may collect and process information required to complete a transaction in accordance with their own privacy policies and security requirements.
The Center for Wellbeing may retain transaction-related information such as payment status, transaction reference, amount, currency, and associated course or order for accounting, support, reconciliation, and record-keeping purposes.
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information with trusted service providers that assist us in operating the platform and delivering our services, such as hosting providers, payment processors, email or communication providers, analytics services, and technical support providers.
Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or a lawful request from an authorized government or regulatory authority.
We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, property, or integrity of the Center for Wellbeing, our users, or our services.
7. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.
However, no internet-based service or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users are responsible for keeping their account credentials confidential and should notify us if they believe their account has been accessed without authorization.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain appropriate business and educational records, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce applicable agreements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.
9. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website and learning platform may use cookies and similar technologies to maintain sessions, remember preferences, improve platform functionality, understand usage, and enhance the user experience.
Some cookies may be necessary for the platform to function correctly, including authentication and security-related cookies.
Additional information about our use of cookies may be provided in a separate Cookie Policy where applicable.

12. Third-Party Services and Links
The platform may contain links to third-party websites or integrate with external services.
Those third parties operate independently and may have their own privacy policies and terms. The Center for Wellbeing is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites or services.
We encourage users to review the applicable privacy information before providing personal information to a third-party service.
