Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 01/03/2003

At Paradigm Confab, safeguarding your privacy and ensuring the security of your corporate and personal data is a foundational pillar of our operations. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect the information you provide when engaging with our platform, consulting services, and Lerner's Portal.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our specialized insights and educational services, we may collect the following categories of information:

  • Directly Provided Information: When you contact us via email, submit a WhatsApp inquiry form, or register on Lerner's Portal, we collect details such as your name, corporate email address, phone number, and any specific messages or corporate affiliations you provide.
  • Automated Analytics Data: Our proprietary local analytics engine silently tracks non-personally identifiable metrics, such as your IP address, browser type, device category (Desktop/Mobile), referring URLs, and the specific articles you read.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We utilize cookies to enhance your browsing experience and secure our platform. Specifically, Paradigm Confab utilizes a custom local tracking cookie (pc_visitor_id) that remains active for 30 days. This cookie is used strictly to differentiate unique visitors and analyze overall content engagement. We do not use this cookie for cross-site advertising or third-party behavioral tracking.

3. How We Use Your Information

The data we collect is utilized exclusively for internal operations, including:

  • Facilitating seamless communication regarding corporate governance consulting or academic inquiries.
  • Managing your enrollment, progress, and certifications within Lerner's Portal.
  • Analyzing content performance to tailor our editorial focus on ESG, CSR, and legal compliance.
  • Maintaining the technical security and integrity of our web infrastructure.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Paradigm Confab does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We respect your executive privacy. We may only disclose your information under the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: To trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating our website or LMS (e.g., secure hosting providers, database administrators), bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal Compliance: If required to do so by law, or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

5. Data Security

We implement robust, industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our databases are secured with encrypted connections, and sensitive administrative actions are strictly access-controlled.
