Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Rucha Shah, operating under the Women Rising Academy brand (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares and protects personal information when you visit this website, register for Her Rising Masterclass, join related communications or use our services.

Information We Collect

We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, WhatsApp/phone number, profile, stated pain point, form responses, communication preferences and messages sent to us.

We may also collect technical and usage information such as IP address, browser/device type, referring page, pages viewed, timestamps, cookie identifiers, UTM parameters, ad/campaign information and interactions with forms, videos and buttons. Webinar platforms may provide attendance, join/leave time and engagement information.

How We Use Information

• Process and confirm webinar registration.
• Send the Zoom/joining link, reminders and requested resources.
• Provide support and respond to questions.
• Personalize webinar and follow-up communication.
• Measure campaign, landing-page and webinar performance.
• Prevent abuse, protect security and troubleshoot technical problems.
• Send optional educational or promotional updates where you have consented or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.
• Meet legal, tax, accounting and compliance obligations.

Legal Bases and Consent

Depending on your location and applicable law, we process data to provide the service you requested, based on your consent, for legitimate operational interests or to comply with legal obligations. Where consent is required for marketing, it is optional and can be withdrawn at any time without affecting your webinar registration.

WhatsApp and Group Privacy

If you join a WhatsApp group, other members may be able to see your phone number, profile name, photo or other information according to your WhatsApp settings. Participation is optional. WhatsApp processes information under its own terms and privacy policy.

Cookies and Analytics

We may use necessary cookies and, subject to applicable consent requirements, analytics or advertising technologies to understand site use, remember preferences and measure campaigns. Users can also adjust browser settings, although some site functions may be affected.

Returning-registrant recognition cookie. If you register for Her Rising Masterclass, we may place a first-party recognition cookie on your device so that, when you come back, you can confirm your place for the next session without filling in the form again. This cookie contains only a random, meaningless identifier: it never stores your name, email address, WhatsApp number, or your profile and challenge answers. We look that identifier up on our own servers to show you a masked summary of your details, and nothing is registered until you explicitly click to confirm. The cookie expires automatically, and it is revoked immediately if you select “This isn’t me” on the page or unsubscribe from our emails. We do not use this recognition cookie for unrelated advertising or for sharing with advertising networks without your separate consent.

Sharing and Service Providers

We may share information with service providers that help us operate registration forms, email, WhatsApp communication, webinar delivery, analytics, advertising, payments, hosting, CRM and customer support. They receive only the information needed for their function and are subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-processing terms.

We do not sell personal information for money.

International Data Transfers

Our service providers or operations may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for cross-border transfers.

Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including service delivery, consent records, suppression lists, security and legal obligations.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability or withdrawal of consent. You may unsubscribe from email using the link provided and opt out of WhatsApp marketing by replying STOP. Some records may be retained where legally required or necessary to honor an opt-out.

Children’s Privacy

This webinar and website are intended for adults and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through the registration form.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards, but no online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Third-Party Links

Our pages may link to Zoom, WhatsApp, calendar providers, social platforms or other third parties. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The revised version will show a new “last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated where required.
