Service Document
Privacy Policy: Data Collection, Use, and Protection
Effective as of August 27, 2025, this Privacy Policy explains how Seranai LLC collects, uses, and safeguards your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable laws, including CCPA for California residents and GDPR for EU data subjects.
-
1.Information We Collect
- Personal Data: When you sign in to access content or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your name and email address. This is voluntary and based on your explicit consent.
- Non-Personal Data: We may collect device information (e.g., IP address, browser type) and usage data (e.g., pages viewed) via cookies or similar technologies for site functionality. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
- No Sensitive Data: We do not collect sensitive personal data (e.g.,health, racial origin) as defined under GDPR Article 9 or CCPA. Legal Basis: Consent (GDPR) or business necessity (CCPA). We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects.
-
2.How We Use Your Information
- To provide access to restricted content and send newsletters with insights on growth strategies, execution models, and industry trends.
- To improve site performance and respond to inquiries.
- Retention: Data is kept only as long as necessary (e.g., until you unsubscribe) or as required by law (up to 6 years for tax purposes under Delaware law). We do not share, sell, or rent your data to third parties. All processing is internal, with no transfers outside the US/EU without adequate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses for EU data).
-
3.Data Security
We employ industry-standard measures, including encryption (e.g., SSL/TLS for transmissions), access controls, and regular audits, to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. In the event of a breach, we will notify affected users within 72 hours (GDPR Article 33) or as required under CCPA. While no system is impenetrable, we commit to robust protections in line with ISO 27001 standards.
-
4.Your Rights
- US Residents (CCPA):Right to know, delete, and opt-out of sales (though none occur). Submit requests via arshad@growthsherpa.com; we respond within 45 days (extendable to 90). No discrimination for exercising rights.
- EU Data Subjects (GDPR): Rights to access, rectification, erasure (“right to be forgotten”), restriction, portability, and objection. Withdraw consent anytime without affecting prior processing. Lodge complaints with your local data protection authority (e.g., CNIL in France). Respond within one month.
- For all users: Unsubscribe from newsletters via links in emails or contact us. We do not use data for purposes beyond consent.
-
5.Children's Privacy
Our site is not intended for individuals under 16 (GDPR) or 13 (COPPA in the US). We do not knowingly collect data from children; if discovered, it will be deleted immediately.
-
6.Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect legal changes or new features. Changes will be posted here with the effective date; continued use constitutes acceptance. For material changes, we’ll notify via email.
