Effective Date: October 13, 2026

1. Introduction

The Institute for Emerging Leaders (“IEL,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling your personal information responsibly.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you visit our website, contact us, schedule a discovery call, or inquire about our coaching services.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with our website, we may collect:

  • Contact information: Your name, email address, telephone number, and information you voluntarily provide through contact forms.
  • Coaching inquiries: Information you choose to share about your interests, goals, challenges, or requested coaching services.
  • Appointment information: Scheduling details submitted when booking discovery calls or coaching sessions.
  • Website usage information: Technical information such as IP addresses, browser types, device information, and website activity, where collected by our hosting provider or website tools.
  • Payment information: If paid coaching services become available, payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. We will describe the relevant payment practices before collecting payment information.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to:

  • Respond to questions and coaching inquiries.
  • Schedule and manage discovery calls or coaching appointments.
  • Provide requested coaching services.
  • Communicate important information about appointments and services.
  • Maintain website functionality, security, and performance.
  • Improve our programs and visitor experience.
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Coaching Information and Confidentiality

We recognize that individuals seeking coaching may share personal or sensitive information.

IEL seeks to handle information shared during coaching inquiries and sessions with discretion and respect. Access to personal information is limited to individuals who reasonably need it to provide services or support business operations.

Coaching confidentiality is subject to applicable laws, safety considerations, and any written coaching agreement. Coaching does not automatically provide the same legal confidentiality protections as psychotherapy or licensed healthcare treatment.

IEL does not provide psychotherapy, clinical addiction treatment, or medical services through its coaching programs.

5. Sharing Information With Third Parties

We may share limited information with trusted service providers when necessary to operate our website or deliver services, including:

  • Website hosting providers.
  • Appointment scheduling platforms.
  • Email and communication services.
  • Payment processors, if applicable.
  • Technical support and website security providers.

We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or security.

We do not authorize service providers to use personal information for unrelated purposes.

6. Cookies and Website Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential functionality, maintain security, remember preferences, or understand website performance.

Some WordPress plugins and third-party services may place additional cookies. Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate notices or consent choices.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

However, no website, electronic communication, or data storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain business records, resolve disputes, or comply with applicable legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

9. Your Privacy Choices

You may contact IEL to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we maintain about you.

Requests will be reviewed and handled in accordance with applicable law. Certain records may need to be retained for legitimate business or legal purposes.

You may also request that we stop sending optional promotional communications.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our website and individual coaching services are intended primarily for adults.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate parental consent. If we become aware of such collection, we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable law.

Any future youth programs will have separate consent and privacy procedures as appropriate.

11. External Websites

Our website may contain links to external websites, scheduling services, or other third-party platforms.

IEL is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites we do not operate. We encourage visitors to review their privacy policies.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, website practices, technology, or legal requirements.

Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
