Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. Here's how EduStormo protects and manages your personal information when you use our family investing education services.

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

Who We Are

EduStormo operates from Ireland, providing educational content and resources focused on family investing strategies. We're committed to transparency about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in accordance with Irish and EU data protection laws.

This policy applies to all interactions with our website at edustormo.pro, our educational programs, and related services. When we say "we," "us," or "our," we mean EduStormo.

Information We Collect

We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with our services. Here's what we typically gather:

Information You Provide Directly

Names and Contact Details Educational Background Investment Experience Level Family Financial Goals Communication Preferences

This happens when you sign up for our programs, contact us with questions, or participate in our educational content. We only ask for information that helps us provide better, more relevant education.

Technical Information

Like most websites, we automatically collect some technical data when you visit our site. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you navigate through our content. We use this to improve site performance and understand which educational resources are most helpful.

Learning Progress Data

If you participate in our structured learning programs, we track your progress through modules and assessments. This helps us personalize your learning experience and provide better support.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide educational services and improve your learning experience. Here's specifically what we do:

  • Deliver educational content tailored to your experience level and goals
  • Track your progress through learning modules and provide personalized recommendations
  • Send you relevant updates about new educational resources and program developments
  • Respond to your questions and provide support when you need help
  • Improve our educational content based on how people engage with different topics
  • Ensure our website works properly and protect against technical issues or security threats
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect both your rights and ours

We never sell your personal information to third parties. We don't use your data for advertising purposes outside of promoting our own educational services that might interest you.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under GDPR, we need a legal basis to process your personal information. Here's what applies to different types of data processing:

Legitimate Interest

We process most information based on legitimate interest - specifically, providing quality education about family investing and improving our services. This includes analyzing how people use our content and communicating about relevant educational opportunities.

Consent

For marketing communications and optional features, we rely on your explicit consent. You can withdraw this consent anytime through your account settings or by contacting us.

Contract

When you enroll in paid programs, we process your information to fulfill our contract with you - delivering the education you've signed up for.

Your Rights Under GDPR

As someone whose data we process, you have several important rights. Here's what you can do and how to exercise these rights:

Access Your Data

You can request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this in a clear, readable format within 30 days.

Correct Inaccurate Information

If any information we have is wrong or outdated, you can ask us to fix it. Most contact details can be updated directly in your account.

Delete Your Data

In many cases, you can request that we delete your personal information. Some exceptions apply for legal compliance or legitimate business needs.

Restrict Processing

You can ask us to limit how we use your information while we resolve any concerns or disputes about its accuracy or our processing.

Data Portability

For information you've provided directly, you can request a copy in a machine-readable format to transfer to another service.

Object to Processing

You can object to our processing of your data for marketing purposes or when we rely on legitimate interest as our legal basis.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We'll respond within 30 days and won't charge fees unless your request is clearly unreasonable or excessive.

How We Share Information

We keep sharing to a minimum and only work with trusted partners who help us deliver better educational services:

Essential Service Providers

We work with companies that help us operate our website, process payments, send emails, and provide customer support. These partners can only use your information to help us serve you better - they can't use it for their own purposes.

Legal Requirements

Sometimes we might need to share information to comply with legal obligations, respond to court orders, or protect against fraud. This happens rarely and only when legally required.

Business Changes

If EduStormo is sold or merged with another company, your information might be transferred as part of that transaction. We'd notify you beforehand and ensure the new owners respect this privacy policy.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Period.

Data Security and Storage

We take security seriously and use multiple layers of protection to keep your information safe:

  • All data transmission uses SSL encryption to protect information in transit
  • We store data on secure servers with restricted access and regular security monitoring
  • Staff access to personal information is limited to those who need it for their work
  • We regularly update our security measures and conduct vulnerability assessments
  • Payment information is handled by certified payment processors - we don't store credit card details
  • We maintain backups of important data in secure, geographically distributed locations

How Long We Keep Information

We keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes we collected it. Generally, this means:

  • Active account information: while your account remains active plus 2 years
  • Learning progress data: 5 years after program completion for certificate verification
  • Communication records: 3 years for customer service purposes
  • Financial records: 7 years as required by Irish law
  • Marketing consent records: until you withdraw consent plus 1 year for compliance

International Data Transfers

While we're based in Ireland, some of our service providers operate from other countries. When we transfer data outside the EU, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place:

  • We only work with providers in countries with adequate data protection laws
  • For other locations, we use standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission
  • We regularly review these arrangements to ensure ongoing protection
  • You can request details about specific transfers that might affect your data

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience and understand how people use our content. Here's what we use:

Essential Cookies

These make our website work properly and remember your login status. We can't provide our services without these, so they don't require consent.

Analytics Cookies

We use these to understand which content is most helpful and how we can improve the site. This data is anonymized and helps us make better educational resources.

Preference Cookies

These remember your settings and preferences to personalize your experience when you return to our site.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling some might affect site functionality. We'll ask for your consent for non-essential cookies when you first visit.

Children's Privacy

Our services focus on family investing education, but they're designed for adults. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 16 without parental consent.

If you're a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. We'll delete such information from our systems unless we have valid parental consent.

Parents who want to involve older teenagers (16+) in family investing education should supervise their participation and help them understand privacy implications.

Changes to This Policy

We review and update this privacy policy regularly to reflect changes in our services, technology, and legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll:

  • Email active users about important updates that affect how we handle their information
  • Post a notice on our website highlighting key changes
  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
  • For major changes affecting your rights, provide additional notice and time to review

We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially before providing new information or using new features.
