Privacy Policy

Introduction and who we are

At Influence Builders' Academy, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users' personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site or interact with us, including when you register for our workshops and events or join our mailing list.

The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

This policy is written to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Belgian data protection law.

Information we collect

We collect personal information from you when you voluntarily provide such information, such as when you register for access to our services or events, contact us with inquiries, join our mailing list, or use certain services. The types of information we may collect include your name, email address, phone number, organisation and job title, and any other information you choose to provide.

When you visit our Site, we may also collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type and pages visited, through cookies and similar technologies (see section 9). If you attend a paid workshop, we also process billing details needed to invoice you.

How we use your information and why

We only use your personal data when we have a legal basis to do so under GDPR. The table below shows what we use it for and on which basis.

Our mailing list

If you join our mailing list, we use your name and email address to send you up to one email a month. These emails give you early access to our upcoming sessions, free webinars and new resources.

We only add you to the list with your consent, given by signing up through our form. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by writing to info@influence-builders.com. Withdrawing consent does not affect emails already sent.

We send these emails using MailerLite, which stores your data on our behalf. We may see whether you opened an email or clicked a link, to understand which content is useful.

We keep your details on the list until you unsubscribe. We then keep only your email address on a suppression list, so we don't contact you again by mistake.

Information sharing and disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent users' personal identification information to others. We share personal data only with service providers that help us run our business, under contracts that require them to protect it and use it only on our instructions. These include:

  • MailerLite for our mailing list
  • ClickMeeting for online sessions
  • Webflow for our Site
  • Google for site analytics
  • Falco for billing

We may also disclose data where the law requires it.

Some of these providers may process data outside the European Economic Area, for example in the United States. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

How long we keep your data

We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected:

  • Event and workshop registrations: 2 years after your last event, so we can send you certificates or answer follow-up questions
  • Invoices and accounting records: 7 years, as required by Belgian law
  • Enquiries: 2 year after our last exchange
  • Mailing list: until you unsubscribe (see section 4)

After these periods, we delete or anonymise your data.

Data security

We adopt appropriate data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal information, username, password, transaction information, and data stored on our Site. Access to personal data is limited to team members who need it for their work.

Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

  • access the personal data we hold about you
  • correct data that is wrong or incomplete
  • ask us to delete your data
  • restrict or object to how we use your data, including for direct marketing
  • receive your data in a portable format
  • withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on consent

If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us at info@influence-builders.com. We will respond within one month.

If you think we have not handled your data properly, you can complain to the Belgian Data Protection Authority (Autorité de protection des données / Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit), Rue de la Presse 35, 1000 Brussels, www.dataprotectionauthority.be. We would appreciate the chance to resolve your concern first.
