This Privacy Policy explains how Ananda Ribeiro (“I,” “me,” or “my”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal information submitted through anandaribeiro.com (the “Website”). The Website may be accessed by visitors and clients in different countries.

1. Information I collect

I may collect information you provide directly through a contact form, email, or other communication, including:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your organization or professional role, if provided
  • The subject and contents of your message
  • Information about your training needs, goals, experience, or business challenges
  • Other information you voluntarily provide during subsequent communications

Please do not submit sensitive personal information, passwords, financial account information, government identification numbers, health information, or confidential company data through the Website’s contact forms.

When you visit the Website, limited technical information may be collected automatically, including:

  • IP address
  • Browser and device type
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited
  • Date and approximate time of access
  • Referring website
  • Basic server, security, and diagnostic logs
  • Information collected through necessary cookies

The specific technical information collected may depend on the Website’s hosting provider, WordPress, installed plugins, and your browser settings.

2. How I use personal information

I may use personal information to:

  • Respond to questions and training inquiries
  • Communicate with you about the subject of your message
  • Understand your role, objectives, and training needs
  • Recommend an appropriate next step or training approach
  • Prepare proposals, quotes, or service agreements

  • Operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the Website
  • Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and security incidents
  • Comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights

I may use your contact information to respond to your inquiry, follow up about services that may be relevant to your request, and maintain a professional relationship with you. Where required by applicable law, I will obtain consent before sending marketing communications. Marketing messages will include a clear way to opt out of future communications.

3. Contact forms

When you submit a contact form, I use the information provided to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about the subject of your message.

Submitting a contact form does not create a client, consulting, employment, partnership, or contractual relationship.

If your inquiry leads to a proposal or engagement, additional terms may apply under a separate proposal, contract, or service agreement.

4. Legal grounds for processing

Depending on the circumstances and the applicable law, personal information may be processed because:

  • It is necessary to respond to a request you initiated
  • It is necessary to take steps before entering into a service agreement
  • It is necessary to perform a contract
  • It supports a legitimate business interest, such as communicating with prospective clients or protecting the Website
  • It is necessary to comply with a legal obligation
  • It is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights
  • You have provided consent for a specific optional purpose

When processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not invalidate processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for:

  • WordPress functionality
  • Contact-form operation
  • Security and fraud prevention
  • Session management
  • Basic Website preferences
  • Technical performance and troubleshooting

The Website does not currently use personal information for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising.

If optional analytics, advertising, remarketing, or behavioral-tracking technologies are introduced, this Privacy Policy and any applicable cookie controls will be updated.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling necessary cookies may affect certain Website features.

6. How information is shared

I do not sell or rent personal information.

Personal information may be processed or disclosed to service providers that support the Website and my professional activities, including:

  • Website hosting providers
  • WordPress and website-plugin providers
  • Everest Forms or other contact-form technology providers
  • Email and communication providers
  • Security, maintenance, backup, and technical-support providers
  • Professional advisers, such as accountants, lawyers, or tax advisers, when reasonably necessary

These providers may process information only to the extent necessary to provide their services or meet applicable legal requirements.

Information may also be disclosed:

  • When required by law, court order, subpoena, or valid governmental request
  • To investigate or prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents
  • To protect my rights, safety, property, Website, or users
  • In connection with a reorganization, transfer, or sale of the relevant business activity, subject to appropriate protections
  • With your direction or permission

7. International processing and transfers

Personal information may be processed in the country where I am located and in other countries where my website hosting, email, form-processing, and technology providers operate.

Privacy laws may differ between these locations. I take reasonable steps to select reputable providers and protect personal information in accordance with applicable law.

8. Data retention

Contact inquiries may be retained for up to five years after the last communication when reasonably necessary to maintain business records, respond to future inquiries, prepare proposals, or document professional communications.

Information relating to clients, proposals, contracts, invoices, or completed services may be retained for five years after the end of the professional relationship, or longer when required by applicable legal, tax, accounting, or contractual obligations.

For individuals who voluntarily subscribe to marketing communications, contact information and subscription records may be retained until the individual unsubscribes or for up to five years after their last interaction with my communications, whichever occurs first.

When someone unsubscribes, limited information may be retained on a suppression list to ensure that additional marketing messages are not sent.

Technical and security logs are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for Website operation, security, and troubleshooting.

Information may be deleted earlier when it is no longer needed. It may be retained longer when necessary to comply with the law, resolve disputes, or establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

Deletion from active systems may not result in immediate deletion from encrypted backups. Information contained in backups will be removed or overwritten according to the applicable backup schedule.

9. Privacy rights

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have the right to:

  • Confirm whether your personal information is being processed
  • Request access to or a copy of your information
  • Correct inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information
  • Request deletion, anonymization, restriction, or blocking
  • Request data portability, when applicable
  • Obtain information about how your information is used and shared
  • Withdraw consent when processing is based on consent
  • Opt out of marketing communications
  • Object to certain processing
  • Appeal the denial of a privacy request, where applicable
  • File a complaint with an appropriate privacy or data-protection authority

To exercise these rights, contact info@anandaribeiro.com. I may request reasonable information to verify your identity.

12. Data security

I use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, disclosure, destruction, or misuse.

These measures may include:

  • HTTPS encryption during Website transmission
  • Access controls
  • Strong passwords and authentication practices
  • WordPress, plugin, and server updates
  • Security monitoring and backups
  • Limiting access to individuals and providers with a legitimate need

No website, email system, storage platform, or transmission method is completely secure. Absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

13. Data breaches

If a security incident involving personal information occurs, I will evaluate the incident and take reasonable steps to contain it, reduce possible harm, and comply with applicable notification obligations.

14. Children’s privacy

The Website and professional services are intended for adults and business professionals. They are not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the Website, contact info@anandaribeiro.com so that the information can be reviewed and deleted when appropriate.

15. Third-party links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites and platforms, including LinkedIn, GitHub, Google Drive, Upwork, or other external services.

Those services operate under their own privacy policies and terms. I am not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices.

You should review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing personal information to them.

16. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the Website, services, service providers, or applicable legal requirements change.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes will be highlighted or otherwise communicated when reasonably appropriate or legally required.

Continued use of the Website does not constitute consent to changes when applicable law requires separate consent.
