At Inner Growth Courses (“we”, “us”, “our”), accessible from pendulumpendel.com, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This document explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information, and describes your rights under applicable global privacy laws. Please read it carefully.

This Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy applies solely to information collected through our blog. We do not offer user registration, memberships, or any other interactive service beyond our contact form.

1. Who we are

Data Controller: Inner Growth Courses
Email: privacy@pendulumpendel.com

For any privacy-related questions, you can reach us at the above address.

2. What personal data we collect

We only collect information that you voluntarily provide when you fill out the contact form on our website. The fields requested are:

First name
Last name
Email address

That is the only personal data we ever collect. We do not collect IP addresses, browsing history, device fingerprints, or any other technical identifiers for contact form submissions beyond what is strictly necessary for the form to function. No other personal data is gathered, and there is no possibility to create an account or register on the site.

3. How we use your information

We use the contact form data exclusively to:

Respond to your inquiry or message.
Provide you with information you have requested about our courses or blog content.
Maintain a minimal communication record for customer service purposes (only if needed).

We do not use your personal data for marketing, newsletters, or any automated profiling. We will never sell, rent, or trade your data with third parties.

4. Legal basis for processing (Global perspective)

We process your personal data on the following lawful grounds:

Consent: By submitting the contact form, you give us clear affirmative consent to process your first name, last name, and email for the purpose of responding to you. (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a), LGPD Art. 7 I, similar consent frameworks).
Legitimate interest: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interest in answering your direct request or query, without overriding your rights and freedoms (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f), PIPEDA, etc.). We rely on this only where appropriate under local law.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

5. Data retention

We keep your contact form submission (name, email, message) only for as long as necessary to resolve your query and for a reasonable period afterwards for administrative or legal protection purposes. In practice:

If your inquiry does not lead to an ongoing relationship, we delete the data within 12 months after the last communication.
If required by applicable law (e.g., tax or legal claims), we may retain minimal records for up to the statutory limitation period.

After that, all personal information is securely erased or anonymized.

6. Who we share your data with

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to outside parties. The only exceptions are:

Service providers: We may use a trusted third‑party email delivery or hosting service to manage our contact form and email responses. These providers are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions and in compliance with this policy and applicable data protection laws.
Legal obligations: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or governmental regulation.

Currently, we do not transfer personal data outside your region unless our hosting infrastructure requires it. Any international transfer is safeguarded through standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms as required by GDPR, UK GDPR, LGPD, and similar laws.

7. How we protect your data

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS) for all website interactions.
Secure server environments with restricted access.
Regular review of our data collection and storage practices.

8. Your rights (Global coverage)

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of access – obtain a copy of the data we hold about you.
Right to rectification – correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) – request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention requirements.
Right to restrict processing – under certain circumstances.
Right to data portability – receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.
Right to object – object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Right to withdraw consent – at any time when processing is based on consent.
Right to lodge a complaint – with a supervisory authority (e.g., Data Protection Authority in your EU country, the ICO in the UK, the Brazilian ANPD, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, etc.).

These rights apply as granted by GDPR (EU/EEA), UK GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), Brazil’s LGPD, Canada’s PIPEDA, and other applicable privacy laws. For California residents, we confirm we do not “sell” or “share” personal information as defined under CCPA. We do not process sensitive personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@pendulumpendel.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law, typically within one month.

9. Children’s privacy

Our blog is not directed to individuals under the age of 16 (or the relevant age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information through the contact form without parental consent, we will delete it promptly.

10. International data transfers

Your data may be processed on servers located outside your home country. We ensure that any such transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, or other legally recognized mechanisms. By submitting the contact form, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred and processed in this manner.

11. Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Significant changes may be communicated more prominently (e.g., via a notice on our homepage).
