This Privacy Policy explains how Alexander Greig Architect ("the Provider," "we," "us") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our site, sign up for Breathe 101, enroll in the BREATHE.DESIGN.LOVE. course (the "Course"), or otherwise interact with us. By using our site or enrolling in the Course, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.
We collect information you give us directly, including your name, email address, and payment details when you sign up for Breathe 101 or purchase a module. We also collect information you submit as part of the Course, such as assignment work, questions asked in live sessions, and any contributions you choose to make to The Design Forward Collective and the Pattern Language Lab communities.
We also collect some information automatically, including your IP address, browser type, and how you interact with our site, through cookies and similar tracking technology.
We use third party services to run the Course and this site. Payments are processed by Stripe, which handles your card details directly, we never see or store them ourselves. Our site, email automation, and course delivery run on a white label platform built on GoHighLevel. Ad campaigns run through Facebook and YouTube, which may place their own tracking pixels or cookies on your device when you click through from an ad. Each of these providers has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your information.
If you contribute to the Pattern Language Lab, your contribution is tagged with your name and the date, and reviewed before it's published on the BBE Institute site. Anything you submit this way is visible to other visitors of that site.
We use cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our site, including tracking for ad campaigns. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as well if you do.
We keep your personal information for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterward to meet our legal, accounting, and reporting obligations. Community contributions may remain visible on the BBE Institute site after your account is closed, since they form part of a shared resource.
We're based in New Zealand, and the Course is open to students worldwide. Some of the third parties we work with, including Stripe and GoHighLevel, process data outside New Zealand. By using our site or enrolling in the Course, you understand your information may be processed in a country other than your own.
Under the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand), you have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it if it's wrong. If you're located elsewhere and have equivalent rights under your own local law, including a right to request deletion, we'll do our best to accommodate that request. To make a request, contact us through the details on our site.
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for legal reasons. We'll post any changes here, and encourage you to check back periodically.
Questions about this Privacy Policy or your personal information can be sent to us directly through the contact details provided on the site.
