Privacy Policy

Information you provide to us. We collect the personal information you choose to give us, including:

• Contact and enquiry details — when you complete our contact form, we collect your first and last name, email address, and (optionally) your company, role, the subject of your message, and the contents of your message.
• Newsletter sign-ups — if you subscribe to our updates, we collect your email address.
• Course enrolment and account information — our online courses, checkout, and student accounts are operated through our third-party learning platform, Kajabi. When you enrol, the information you submit (such as your name, email, account credentials, and payment details) is collected and processed by Kajabi under its own privacy policy.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Website, certain information may be collected automatically by us or our hosting and infrastructure providers, including your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and how you interact with the Website. This information helps us operate, secure, and improve the Website.

The Website uses a small number of cookies and similar storage technologies. Strictly necessary and functional storage (for example, remembering your cookie-consent choice) is used to make the Website work and cannot be switched off through our consent banner. With your consent, we may also use analytics or performance technologies to understand how the Website is used so we can improve it.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and through the consent banner presented on the Website. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the Website function.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your enquiries and provide customer support;
• Provide, operate, and improve our services and the Website;
• Send you newsletters, updates, and marketing communications you have requested (you can opt out at any time);
• Process and fulfil course enrolments and related transactions (via Kajabi);
• Protect the security and integrity of the Website, prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce our Terms and Conditions; and
• Comply with our legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers. We share information with trusted vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as our email-delivery provider (Resend), our course and payment platform (Kajabi), and our website hosting and infrastructure providers. These providers may only use your information to perform services for us.
• Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Yoshida Academy, our users, or others.
• Business transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
• With your consent. We may share information for any other purpose disclosed to you with your consent.

We do not collect or store full payment card details on this Website. Payments for our courses and services are processed through Kajabi and its payment processors, who handle your payment information in accordance with applicable payment-card security standards and their own privacy policies.

The Website may contain links to third-party websites and services (including Kajabi and our social media profiles) that we do not control. This Policy does not apply to those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide our services, respond to your enquiries, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.
