Executive Unschool LLC ("Executive Unschool," "EU," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information about you.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through executiveunschool.com and other websites or digital properties that link to this Privacy Policy, as well as our newsletters, podcasts, digital products, educational programs, quizzes and assessments, research initiatives, events, retreats, communities, merchandise, sponsorship programs, certification programs, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

This Privacy Policy describes our general practices. Particular research projects, assessments, events, programs, or other Services may provide additional privacy notices or consent terms where appropriate.

By using the Services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

The information we collect depends on how you interact with Executive Unschool.

Information You Provide Directly

We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:

• name;

• email address;

• telephone number;

• mailing, billing, or shipping address;

• company, employer, profession, title, or industry;

• social media handles;

• newsletter and communication preferences;

• account, membership, or program information;

• purchase and transaction information;

• event or retreat registration information;

• survey, quiz, assessment, questionnaire, or research responses;

• application or inquiry information;

• communications you send to us;

• testimonials, reviews, stories, or feedback;

• information submitted when participating in communities, programs, workshops, events, or research;

• information submitted when applying to collaborate, sponsor, speak, contribute, license, certify, or partner with Executive Unschool; and

• other information you voluntarily choose to provide.

Purchase and Transaction Information

When you purchase a product, program, event, retreat, membership, merchandise item, certification, or other offering, we may collect information necessary to process and administer the transaction.

Payment card information is generally processed directly by third-party payment processors rather than stored by Executive Unschool. Those providers process payment information according to their own privacy and security practices.

We may retain transaction records such as your name, contact information, products purchased, amount paid, payment status, transaction date, and related customer-service information.

2. QUIZZES, ASSESSMENTS, AND WORK RECOVERY INFORMATION

Executive Unschool may offer quizzes, assessments, questionnaires, profiles, surveys, and similar interactive experiences.

These experiences may ask about matters such as:

• career and employment circumstances;

• professional identity;

• workplace experiences;

• leadership experiences;

• career transitions;

• workplace culture;

• burnout or chronic work stress;

• experiences involving workplace conflict, bullying, betrayal, or other workplace harm;

• work habits and behavioral patterns;

• goals, priorities, and preferences;

• perceptions concerning time, money, energy, work, or freedom;

• major life or career transitions;

• demographic characteristics where relevant and appropriate; and

• other information relevant to Work Recovery™, the Work Recovery Method™, Executive Unschool research, or the educational experience being provided.

We may use individual responses to provide assessment results, profiles, educational information, personalized content, recommendations, or communications.

Some questions may involve information you consider personal or sensitive. You should provide only information you are comfortable sharing and that is reasonably relevant to the applicable experience.

Unless specifically requested through an appropriate process, please do not submit medical records, psychotherapy records, Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, confidential employer documents, privileged communications, or similarly highly sensitive records through quizzes, assessments, general website forms, or email.

Executive Unschool assessments and quizzes are educational and research-oriented tools and are not intended to create medical, psychological, legal, or employment records.

3. RESEARCH AND THE WORK WOUND INSTITUTE®

Research, qualitative inquiry, and the study of people's experiences with work may form part of Executive Unschool's and the Work Wound Institute®'s activities.

We may collect information through:

• surveys;

• assessments;

• questionnaires;

• interviews;

• research conversations;

• program evaluations;

• voluntary stories;

• audience research; and

• other research initiatives.

We may analyze this information to identify patterns and trends, develop or refine frameworks and methodologies, improve educational materials, understand workplace experiences, develop products or assessments, and produce research, reports, articles, presentations, or other educational work.

Where reasonably practicable, research intended for public reporting will use aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information rather than information that directly identifies individual participants.

Particular research projects involving identifiable interviews, quotations, photographs, recordings, attribution, or publication may use a separate research consent, participant agreement, or media release.

Participation in an Executive Unschool program, quiz, survey, or research initiative does not by itself authorize us to publicly identify you as the source of a private personal story.

4. DE-IDENTIFIED AND AGGREGATED INFORMATION

We may aggregate, anonymize, or de-identify information so that it cannot reasonably be associated with a particular individual.

We may use and disclose aggregated or de-identified information for lawful purposes, including:

• research and analysis;

• Executive Unschool and Work Wound Institute® reports;

• articles and editorial content;

• educational materials;

• presentations and speaking;

• methodology and framework development;

• product and assessment development;

• audience and trend analysis;

• sponsorship and business materials; and

• other thought-leadership or educational purposes.

Where required by applicable law, we will maintain information represented as de-identified in de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify it except as permitted by law.

5. INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY

When you use our websites or digital Services, we and service providers acting on our behalf may automatically collect information such as:

• IP address;

• browser type;

• device type;

• operating system;

• approximate geographic location;

• pages viewed;

• referring and exit pages;

• links clicked;

• dates and times of visits;

• session and interaction information;

• cookie or similar identifiers;

• advertising or device identifiers, where applicable; and

• website usage, performance, and diagnostic information.

The precise technologies used may change as our website and technology providers evolve.

6. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

We may use cookies, pixels, tags, analytics technologies, and similar tools to:

• operate and secure our websites;

• remember preferences;

• understand website usage;

• improve user experience;

• measure content and marketing performance;

• understand how visitors discover Executive Unschool; and

• where applicable, deliver or measure advertising.

These technologies may be operated by Executive Unschool or third-party service providers.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide mechanisms for managing applicable cookie, targeted-advertising, sale, or sharing preferences.

You may also be able to manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain technologies may affect portions of the Services.

7. HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use personal information to:

• provide, operate, and improve the Services;

• fulfill purchases and registrations;

• deliver newsletters and requested resources;

• administer accounts, memberships, programs, certifications, and communities;

• provide quiz, assessment, or profile results;

• establish, exercise, or defend legal rights; and

• protect Executive Unschool, our participants, and others.

We may also use information for another purpose disclosed when the information is collected or with your consent where required.

8. EMAIL AND MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

If you subscribe to Executive Unschool communications, we may send newsletters, editorial content, educational information, research, announcements, invitations, offers, podcast information, and other communications.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe mechanism included in those communications.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily prevent us from sending transactional or administrative communications concerning purchases, registrations, accounts, events, certifications, legal notices, or other existing relationships.

9. HOW WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may disclose personal information to service providers and contractors that help us operate our business.

These may include providers supporting:

• website hosting and operation;

• email and newsletter distribution;

• customer relationship management;

• payment processing;

• e-commerce;

• shipping and fulfillment;

• event and retreat registration;

• quiz and assessment technology;

• survey and research technology;

• analytics;

• advertising and marketing;

• scheduling;

• podcast and media production;

• video conferencing;

• community platforms;

• cloud storage;

• information technology and security;

• accounting and bookkeeping;

• legal and professional services; and

• other infrastructure reasonably necessary to operate Executive Unschool.

These providers may process information as reasonably necessary to provide services to us and subject to their applicable contractual and legal obligations.

Collaborators, Facilitators, Venues, and Business Partners

We may disclose appropriate information to collaborators, facilitators, instructors, venues, event providers, or business partners when reasonably necessary to provide an event, retreat, program, research initiative, or other experience.

We seek to limit such disclosure to information reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.

Sponsors and Advertisers

Executive Unschool may work with sponsors, advertisers, and commercial partners.

We may provide sponsors or partners with aggregated or de-identified information concerning our audience, research, campaign performance, or engagement.

We do not provide a sponsor with your email address or other directly identifying contact information merely because you subscribe to Executive Unschool unless that disclosure is separately disclosed and permitted under applicable law.

Legal and Safety Purposes

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• comply with applicable law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or governmental request;

• respond to lawful regulatory or law-enforcement processes;

• enforce our agreements or policies;

• investigate fraud, abuse, or security issues;

• establish, exercise, or defend legal rights; or

• protect the rights, property, privacy, or safety of Executive Unschool, our users, or others.

Business Transactions

If Executive Unschool is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

10. SALE, SHARING, AND TARGETED ADVERTISING

Executive Unschool does not sell personal information for money in the ordinary meaning of the word "sell."

Certain privacy laws define "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" more broadly and may treat some uses of advertising, analytics, or cross-site technologies as falling within those definitions.

If Executive Unschool engages in processing that is subject to a legally applicable right to opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, we will provide the required mechanism for exercising that right.

Where required by applicable law, we will also recognize qualifying universal opt-out preference signals.

11. SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

Because Executive Unschool addresses work recovery, workplace experiences, and personal development, participants may voluntarily share information concerning difficult or deeply personal experiences.

We apply a principle of data minimization and encourage participants not to provide more sensitive information than is reasonably necessary.

Unless expressly requested through an appropriate process, Executive Unschool does not need and does not ask you to provide:

• medical or psychotherapy records;

• detailed medical diagnoses;

• Social Security numbers;

• government identification numbers;

• financial-account passwords or credentials;

• confidential personnel files;

• attorney-client privileged communications;

• confidential employer trade secrets; or

• other similarly high-risk records.

If an Executive Unschool offering requires information that is considered sensitive personal data under applicable law, we will provide any additional notice, consent mechanism, or protection required by applicable law.

We do not intend to sell sensitive personal information.

12. TESTIMONIALS, STORIES, CASE STUDIES, AND MEDIA

Executive Unschool's work may include stories concerning personal and professional experiences.

We will not intentionally publish a private story submitted through an ordinary quiz, survey, assessment, program, customer-service communication, or research response as an attributed testimonial or case study solely because you provided it to us privately.

When we wish to publicly attribute a testimonial, story, photograph, video, recording, quotation, or identifiable case study to you, we may request separate permission or rely on a specific agreement or release governing that contribution.

We may reasonably edit testimonials or contributions for length, grammar, formatting, or clarity, but we will not intentionally edit them in a manner that materially misrepresents the contributor's experience.

Where legally required, we will disclose material relationships associated with testimonials, endorsements, sponsorships, or similar content.

Content voluntarily submitted to a space clearly identified as public or intended for publication may be handled according to the terms applicable to that space.

13. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGIES

Executive Unschool may use reputable technology providers, including tools that incorporate artificial intelligence or automated processing, to assist with business operations such as content workflows, research organization, analytics, customer support, transcription, administrative functions, or other legitimate business activities.

We seek to use such technologies in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

We do not intentionally use private participant stories, sensitive assessment responses, or identifiable research responses to train publicly available general-purpose artificial-intelligence models unless we have disclosed that use and obtained any permission required by applicable law.

Where practicable, we may use de-identified or minimized information when employing automated tools for research or analysis.

14. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information for periods reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate business and legal needs.

Relevant considerations may include:

• the nature and sensitivity of the information;

• the purpose for which it was collected;

• the duration of our relationship with you;

• transaction, accounting, and tax requirements;

• research needs;

• contractual obligations;

• dispute-resolution needs;

• security and fraud-prevention needs; and

• applicable legal requirements.

We do not intend to retain identifiable personal information indefinitely merely because it may someday be useful.

Where reasonably practicable, information retained for long-term research, trend analysis, or methodology development may be aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified when continued identification of the participant is unnecessary.

When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or de-identify it, subject to applicable legal and legitimate recordkeeping requirements.

15. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, acquisition, destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

Our practices may include:

• limiting access according to legitimate business need;

• authentication and account-security practices;

• reputable technology and payment providers;

• secure hosting;

• encryption or encrypted transmission where appropriate;

• maintaining software and systems;

• data-minimization practices; and

• reasonable vendor-management practices.

No method of electronic transmission or storage can guarantee absolute security.

If we become aware of a data-security incident affecting personal information, we will respond and provide legally required notifications consistent with applicable law.

16. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on where you live, whether a particular privacy law applies to Executive Unschool, and the nature of the information or processing involved, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

Applicable rights may include the ability to:

• confirm whether we process your personal information;

• access certain personal information;

• request correction of inaccurate personal information;

• request deletion of certain personal information;

• obtain a portable copy of certain information;

• opt out of certain sales or sharing;

• opt out of targeted advertising;

17. MINNESOTA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Executive Unschool is based in Minnesota.

Minnesota residents may have rights under the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act ("MCDPA") where the Act applies to Executive Unschool and the relevant processing activity.

Applicable rights may include rights concerning access, correction, deletion, data portability, targeted advertising, sale of personal data, and certain profiling activities.

Minnesota consumers may submit applicable requests or appeals using the contact information provided in this Policy.

Nothing in this section is intended to limit rights provided by applicable Minnesota law or create statutory rights where the law does not apply.

18. OTHER U.S. STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS

Residents of California and other U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state law.

The availability and scope of those rights depend on the applicable statute, whether Executive Unschool meets the statute's applicability requirements, the type of information involved, and the nature of the processing.

Where applicable, we will honor legally valid privacy requests as required by law.

19. GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL AND OPT-OUT SIGNALS

Certain jurisdictions require businesses to recognize qualifying browser-based universal opt-out preference signals for particular processing activities.

Where applicable law requires Executive Unschool to recognize such a signal, we will process qualifying signals as required.

20. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Executive Unschool's general Services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 in circumstances prohibited by applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us in violation of applicable law, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Any future Executive Unschool offering specifically intended for minors may use separate registration, parental consent, privacy, and participation procedures.

21. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES

Our Services may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, applications, social networks, podcast platforms, retailers, sponsors, collaborators, payment processors, or other services.

Executive Unschool does not control the independent privacy or security practices of those third parties.

Your interactions directly with those services may be governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

22. INTERNATIONAL USERS

Executive Unschool is based in the United States.

If you access our Services from outside the United States, information may be processed or stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

Different jurisdictions may provide different privacy protections.

Where applicable law requires additional rights, notices, safeguards, or transfer mechanisms, we will address those requirements as applicable to the relevant processing.

23. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our Services, technology, business practices, or applicable law.

The "Last Updated" date identifies the most recent revision.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice of material changes or obtain consent when legally required.
