Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 15 July 2026 | Vuwopu Gehawu | 145 Long Ln, Philadelphia, PA

This Privacy Policy describes how Vuwopu Gehawu ("we," "us," or "our"), operating the website vuwopu-gehawu.info, collects, uses, stores, and shares information from visitors and users ("you") of our website. This policy applies to all visitors located in the United States and is written in compliance with applicable US privacy laws including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where applicable, and the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act).

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, a US federal law governing the online collection of personal information from children under 13.
CCPA
The California Consumer Privacy Act, a California state law granting California residents rights regarding their personal information.
FTC Act

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically when you visit the site.

1.1 Information You Provide

When you use the contact form on our website, you provide us with your name, email address, and the content of your message. You may also indicate agreement to this Privacy Policy via a required checkbox. We do not collect payment information directly on this website. We do not collect sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, financial account details, or health information.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit vuwopu-gehawu.info, our servers and third-party tools may automatically collect certain technical information. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This information is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes only:

  • To respond to inquiries submitted through the contact form
  • To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve its content and usability
  • To maintain the technical security and functionality of the website
  • To comply with legal obligations applicable to our operations

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for targeted advertising purposes.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (US Context)

In the United States, privacy law does not generally require a formal "legal basis" in the way that European law does under the GDPR. However, we process personal information only when we have a legitimate operational reason to do so: responding to your inquiry, improving the website, or fulfilling legal compliance obligations. We do not process personal information beyond what is reasonably necessary for these purposes.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies on this website. Some cookies are essential for the website to function. Others are optional and used for analytics purposes. You can manage your cookie preferences using the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of any page on this site. A full description of the cookies we use is available in our Cookie Policy.

5. Third-Party Services

Our website may use third-party services including Google Maps (for displaying our location), Google Fonts (for typography), and analytics services. These third parties have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them. We do not control how these third parties process data, and their processing is subject to their respective policies.

6. Children's Privacy

Our website and courses are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. This is consistent with our obligations under COPPA. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information through our site, please contact us at [email protected] and we will promptly delete that information.

7. Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions for a reasonable period to allow us to respond to your inquiry and for internal record-keeping purposes. We do not retain personal information longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Automatically collected technical data (such as server logs) is retained for a standard operational period and then deleted or anonymized.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information. California residents have rights under the CCPA including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion of personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information). Residents of other states with applicable privacy laws may also have similar rights. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] or by mail at 145 Long Ln, Philadelphia, PA.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

10. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for informational purposes. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies before submitting personal information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
