Privacy Notice

Welcome – Let’s Keep This Simple

We know most privacy notices are a headache.

They’re written by lawyers, for regulators.

But you deserve better.

We’ve written this notice so you can quickly understand:

Who we are
What data we collect and why
Your rights — and how to use them

Let’s break it down.

Who We Are

Privacy Pros Academy LLC (aka “Privacy Pros”, “we”, “us”) is a data protection training and mentoring company committed to doing privacy right – the same way we teach it.

We’re based in San Francisco, California, with global reach through our EU representative in Dublin.

We don’t just talk privacy. We live it.

We treat that data with the same care as if you gave it to us directly.

How We Use Your Data (And Why)

We only use your data where there’s a clear, lawful reason.
No guesswork. No misuse. No hidden agendas.

Here’s the truth:

Most organisations over-collect. We don’t.

If we ever use your data in a way that needs your consent, we’ll ask you first.

Who Sees Your Data?

We share your data only when necessary — and only with:

Trusted service providers (e.g., payment processors, email platforms)
Regulators if required by law
Courts or law enforcement, but only when legally obligated

We never sell your data. Ever.

Do We Transfer Data Internationally?

Yes — sometimes to our secure service providers outside the US.

But we always use standard safeguards to protect your data, including:

Data processing agreements
EU-approved standard contractual clauses (SCCs)

Your data never travels unprotected.

How Long Do We Keep It?

We keep your data:

As long as needed to deliver value
As long as required by law
No longer than necessary

When it’s no longer needed, we delete it securely.

Your Rights

You have control over your data. That’s non-negotiable.

Here’s what you can do:

Your Right	What It Means
Access	See what we hold about you
Correction	Fix incorrect or outdated info
Erasure	Ask us to delete your data
Restriction	Limit how we use your info
Object	Say no to direct marketing or certain processing
Withdraw Consent	Take back permission you gave us
Be Informed	Know how we use your data from the start

Want to use any of these rights?

Email us at hello@privacypros.academy
We may ask you to verify your identity first — just to keep your data safe.

Automated Decisions & Profiling?

Nope.
We don’t use automated decision-making or profiling that impacts you legally or significantly.

We believe in human-led privacy.

Last Updated

November 2025

If we make any big changes to this notice, we’ll let you know.
Because real privacy means keeping you in the loop — not hiding behind fine print.

Final Word

You don’t need to be a lawyer to understand your rights.
And you shouldn’t need a magnifying glass to read a privacy notice.

We’ve got nothing to hide. Just a mission to protect.
If you’ve got questions — email us. We answer them. Personally.
