2. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit our website, submit an enquiry, subscribe to updates, download resources, register interest in an event, or otherwise interact with us online.

This Policy does not apply to third-party websites, platforms, or services that may be linked from our website. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

• Speaking-event details, including event date, location, format, audience, topic, and objectives
• Consulting or coaching enquiry details, including service requested, organisation overview, objectives, and preferred consultation date
• Newsletter or resource-update subscription details

Please do not submit emergency, crisis, diagnostic, medical, therapy, or other highly sensitive personal-health information through our website forms.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, our hosting, security, analytics, or related service providers may collect limited technical information, such as:

• IP address
• Browser, device, and operating-system information
• Referring page and pages viewed
• Approximate location derived from IP address
• Date, time, and interaction information
• Cookie and similar-technology identifiers

4. How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries and requests
• Assess and manage speaking, consulting, coaching, media, partnership, or event opportunities
• Provide requested resources, updates, or communications
• Administer and improve the website, services, and security
• Analyse website performance and visitor engagement
• Meet legal, tax, accounting, record-keeping, and compliance obligations
• Protect our rights, users, systems, and property
• Send marketing communications only where permitted by law and, where required, with your consent

You may opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information because:

• You asked us to take steps in response to an enquiry or to provide requested information;
• You gave consent, for example for optional marketing communications or non-essential cookies;
• Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, such as operating, improving, and securing the website and responding to professional enquiries; or
• Processing is necessary to meet legal obligations.

6. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

We may use essential cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure the website. We may also use analytics services, including Google Analytics, to understand site use and improve content and services.

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where implemented, through our cookie-consent controls. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality.

Before using non-essential analytics or advertising cookies in jurisdictions that require consent, we will provide an appropriate consent mechanism.

7. Third-Party Services

We may use or link to third-party services, including:

• **Stripe** for payment processing if online payments are introduced;
• **Google Analytics** for website analytics;
• **Google Maps** or map links for location and directions;
• Hosting, security, email, CRM, form-processing, event, social-media, and booking providers as selected from time to time.

These providers may process information under their own privacy policies and terms. We do not control their independent practices. We will configure third-party services to collect only information reasonably necessary for the intended purpose.

8. Payments

At present, website visitors may submit professional enquiries, but direct online payments are not currently required for the services described on this site.

If online payments are enabled in the future, payments will be processed by Stripe or another disclosed payment provider. We will not store full payment-card numbers on our website. The payment provider will process payment information under its own privacy policy and security standards.

9. How We Share Information

We may share personal information with:

• Service providers that help us host, secure, maintain, analyse, communicate through, or operate the website and services;
• Professional advisers, insurers, auditors, or legal representatives where necessary;
• Event partners or relevant team members where necessary to respond to a request or deliver an engagement;
• Authorities or other parties where required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, or security;
• A successor organisation in connection with a restructuring, merger, or transfer of relevant operations.

We do not sell personal information for money. We do not knowingly share personal information for behavioural advertising without appropriate notice and consent where required.

10. International Transfers

Because we serve visitors internationally, information may be processed in the United States, Ghana, or other countries where we or our service providers operate. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws where you live.

Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as contractual protections or another lawful transfer mechanism.

11. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to enquiries, maintain records, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Retention periods may vary by the type of information, the nature of the relationship, and legal requirements. We securely delete, anonymise, or de-identify information when it is no longer needed, subject to lawful retention obligations.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request deletion of information in certain circumstances;
• Object to or restrict certain processing;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• Request a portable copy of certain information;
• Opt out of marketing communications;
• Lodge a complaint with a relevant privacy regulator.

To exercise a right, contact us at info@davidorgenauthor.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Your rights may be subject to legal exceptions.

13. U.S. State Privacy Information

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights. We will honour applicable rights requests as required by law. We do not sell personal information. If our practices change, we will update this Policy and provide any required notices or opt-out mechanisms.

14. Children and Age Restriction

This website and its professional services are intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, contact us so that we can take appropriate steps to delete it.

15. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect information. However, no website, internet transmission, or storage system is completely secure. Please use care when sending information online and do not submit highly sensitive information through website forms.

16. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the effective date. Material changes may be highlighted through the website or another appropriate method where required by law.
