Last Updated: May 27, 2025
At Kish, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard data when you use our website, platform, and services (collectively, the "Service"), which connects life coaches ("Coaches") with clients seeking coaching ("Clients") (collectively, "Users"). By using the Service, you consent to the practices described below.

3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We may share it as follows:
- With Other Users: Coaches and Clients see limited profile info (e.g., name, bio, photo) to facilitate coaching relationships.
- Service Providers: Third parties like payment processors (e.g., Stripe), hosting services, or analytics tools help us operate the Service under strict confidentiality agreements.

- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale, your data may be transferred as part of the business assets.
4. Your Choices
- Account Info: Update your profile or delete your account via your settings (note: some data may be retained for legal or operational reasons).
- Communications: Opt out of marketing emails via the unsubscribe link, though transactional emails (e.g., booking confirmations) will continue.
- Cookies: Adjust browser settings to block cookies, though this may limit Service functionality.
5. Data Security
We use industry-standard measures (e.g., encryption, secure servers) to protect your data. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access or breaches.
6. Data Retention
We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to provide the Service, meet legal obligations, or resolve disputes—typically no longer than 7 years after your last interaction with Kish, unless required otherwise by law. Inactive accounts may be deleted after 2 years, with prior notice.
7. International Data Transfers
Kish operates from the United States. If you're outside this jurisdiction, your data may be transferred to and processed in our location, subject to applicable data protection laws. We take steps to ensure adequate safeguards for such transfers.
8. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we learn we've collected such data, we'll delete it promptly. Contact us if you suspect this has occurred.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:
- Accessing, correcting, or deleting your data.
- Objecting to or restricting certain processing.
- Requesting data portability.
To exercise these rights, email us at support@kishcoach.com. We'll respond within 30 days (or as required by law).
10. Third-Party Links
The Service may link to external sites (e.g., Coach websites, payment platforms). We're not responsible for their privacy practices—review their policies separately.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our Service evolves or laws change. The updated version will be posted here, and significant changes will be notified via email or on the Service. Your continued use after updates constitutes acceptance.
