  1. The Philosophy

Privacy is a prerequisite for authority.

At The Gold Standard Academy, we respect boundaries. This document is not a wall of text designed to hide our practices; it is a transparent explanation of how we handle your digital footprint.

We collect only what is necessary to serve you, deliver your education, and maintain the integrity of our community. We do not sell your identity. You are the client, not the product.

  1. The Information We Hold

To deliver the “Gold Standard” experience, we interact with three types of data:

  1. The Essentials (Provided by You)

When you enroll, you provide your name, email, billing address, and payment details. If you pursue certification, you provide assessments and coursework. This is the data required to unlock the gate.

  1. The Mechanics (collected Automatically)

When you visit our academy, our systems note your IP address, device type, and course progress. This allows the platform to remember where you left off, ensure your login is secure, and issue your certificate upon completion.

  1. The Ecosystem (From Third Parties)

We use trusted infrastructure to run the Academy (e.g., Stripe/PayPal for payments). These partners confirm to us that a transaction was successful so we can grant you access.

Note on Minors: Our curriculum is designed for professional adults. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

  1. How We Use Your Data

We use your information for specific, logical purposes:

  • Delivery: To grant access to the course, track your progress, and issue your credentials.
  • Transaction: To process payments and send receipts (tax compliance).
  • Improvement: To analyze which modules are working and which need refinement.
  • Communication: To send you course updates, support replies, and—if you have opted in—invitations to new programs.

 

  1. Digital Footprints (Cookies)

We use cookies not to spy, but to serve.

Think of a cookie like a concierge who remembers your name so you don’t have to introduce yourself every time you walk into the room.

  • Essential Cookies: Keep you logged in.
  • Analytics: Help us understand site performance.
  • Marketing: Help us show you relevant offers.

You have the power to block these in your browser settings, though it may make the site less convenient to use.

 

  1. Who Sees Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. Period.

We do share data with the “Engine Room”—the trusted vendors who help us operate:

  • Infrastructure: Our hosting platforms, email providers, and payment processors.
  • Compliance: Legal authorities, only if strictly required by law.
  • Business Transfer: In the rare event that Motivatrz LLC is acquired, client data would transfer to the new owners under these same confidentiality standards.

 

  1. Your Rights & Choices

You are the Sovereign of your data.

  • The Exit: You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in the footer.
  • The Vault: You may request to see what data we hold on you, correct it, or request its deletion (subject to our legal need to keep tax/transaction records).
  • The Request: Simply email info@thegoldstandardacademy.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.” We verify requests to ensure it is actually you.
  1. Note for US Residents (State Privacy Laws)

If you reside in a state with comprehensive privacy laws (such as California’s CPRA), you have specific rights, including:

  • The right to know exactly what we collect.
  • The right to delete your personal information.
  • The right to opt-out of the “sharing” of data for cross-context advertising.
  • The right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.

We respect these rights for all our students, regardless of their zip code.

 

  1. International Students

We are headquartered in Wyoming, USA. If you are accessing the Academy from outside the US, be aware that your data is processed in the United States. We utilize standard security measures to protect data across borders.

 

  1. Retention (The Archives)

We do not hoard data.

  • Course Records: We keep your enrollment and certification data so you can always prove your credentials.
  • Financials: We keep transaction records for ~7 years to satisfy tax and legal authorities.
  • Marketing: We keep your email until you tell us to stop.

When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

 

  1. Security

We use industry-standard encryption and security protocols to lock the doors. While no digital system is impenetrable, we treat your data with the same care we treat our own.

 

  1. Contact the Humans

We are not a faceless corporation. If you have a concern, a question, or a request, write to us.
