This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, how long we keep it, how we protect it, when we may share it with trusted service providers, and how users can request access, correction, or deletion of their personal data.

By accessing or using our website, programs, communication channels, or services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

When users access our website or online services, we may also collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, page views, navigation paths, login data, cookies, and similar technologies used to help us operate, protect, and improve our website and services.

We only collect information that is necessary to communicate with users, provide support, manage program participation, operate our services, and share relevant information about High Noon programs, events, resources, and services.

2. Purpose of Processing

We collect and use personal information for the following purposes:

To send marketing or informational communications when permitted by law, consent, or legitimate interest

For example, if a user contacts us through WhatsApp about High Noon programs in Brazil, Latin America, or another region, we may use their phone number, name, email address, message content, and program interest to respond, provide information, follow up about registration, support their participation, and share relevant program updates.

3. Sensitive Information

High Noon’s services are educational and informational in nature. We do not ask users to provide protected health information or highly sensitive personal information through WhatsApp, social media, forms, or other general communication channels.

Users should avoid sending protected health information, highly sensitive personal information, or confidential medical, psychotherapy, or counseling information through WhatsApp or other messaging platforms.

High Noon does not provide medical, psychotherapy, or professional counseling services. Any educational resources or program content provided by High Noon are for educational and informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, counseling, or therapeutic advice.

4. Communication Through WhatsApp and Other Channels

When users communicate with High Noon through WhatsApp or other messaging platforms, we may use the information shared in that conversation to provide support, answer questions, share program information, send reminders, follow up about registration, and help users participate in High Noon programs, events, or services.

Users may stop receiving WhatsApp or other direct communications from High Noon at any time by replying with a request such as:

“STOP”

“Remove me”

“Please delete my information”

“Please stop messaging me”

High Noon will make reasonable efforts to honor such requests unless we are required to retain certain information for legal, administrative, security, or legitimate operational reasons.

5. Marketing Communications

High Noon may send users communications about programs, events, resources, opportunities, and updates when users have requested information, registered for a program, participated in a High Noon activity, subscribed to communications, or otherwise given consent where required.

Users can opt out of marketing or promotional communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in the message, replying with a removal request, or contacting us at:

admin@highnoon.org

Opting out of marketing communications does not prevent High Noon from sending necessary administrative, program-related, legal, or service-related communications.

6. Data Sharing

High Noon does not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties.

We may share limited personal information only when necessary to operate our services, website, programs, and communication systems. This may include trusted third-party service providers who help us with:

Website hosting and maintenance

Cloud storage

Email systems

Messaging platforms

Program registration tools

Internal databases

Payment or donation processing

Analytics and website performance

IT and system administration

Legal, accounting, auditing, or professional support

These providers are only allowed to process personal information as needed to provide services to High Noon and are expected to protect user information appropriately.

We may also disclose personal information if required by law, regulation, legal process, government request, or if necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, security, and integrity of High Noon, our users, or others.

7. Program Privacy and Participant Sharing

High Noon values the privacy and dignity of program participants. Personal sharing from participants during program sessions, group conversations, or Zoom sessions is not shared publicly by High Noon.

Program participants will not be given access to other participants’ full names, emails, phone numbers, or physical addresses unless such information is voluntarily shared by the participant or required for an approved program-related purpose.

High Noon may record certain educational portions of sessions for educational or training purposes when appropriate. Personal participant sharing is not intended to be recorded or shared without appropriate permission.

8. Cookies, Analytics, and Website Data

High Noon may use cookies and similar technologies to help our website function properly, remember user preferences, analyze website traffic, improve user experience, protect website security, and understand the effectiveness of our communication and outreach.

Users may choose to disable cookies through their browser settings. However, some parts of the website or services may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Our website may also include embedded content, such as videos, images, forms, or links from other websites. Embedded content from third-party websites may collect data, use cookies, or track user interaction according to the privacy policies of those third parties.

High Noon is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites, platforms, plug-ins, or applications. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites they visit.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

High Noon keeps personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including communication, program participation, follow-up, administration, legal requirements, accounting, reporting, security, and internal recordkeeping.

When deciding how long to keep personal information, we may consider the type of information, the reason it was collected, the sensitivity of the information, potential risks, legal requirements, and whether the information is still needed for legitimate operational purposes.

When personal information is no longer needed, we will delete it or anonymize it where appropriate.

Users may request that their personal information be deleted by contacting us at:

admin@highnoon.org

When we receive a deletion request, we will review the request and delete the user’s personal information unless we are required or permitted to keep certain information for legal, safety, security, administrative, accounting, reporting, or legitimate operational reasons.

10. User Rights and Choices

Users may contact High Noon to:

Request access to the personal information we have about them

Correct or update their personal information

Request deletion of their personal information

Ask questions about how their information is used

Object to or restrict certain types of processing where applicable

Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

Stop receiving marketing or direct communications from High Noon

To make a privacy-related request, users may contact us at:

admin@highnoon.org

We may need to request additional information to confirm the user’s identity before fulfilling a request. This helps us protect personal information and ensure that data is not disclosed to someone who does not have the right to receive it.

11. Data Security

High Noon takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We limit access to personal information to team members, volunteers, partners, or service providers who need it to carry out communication, program support, administration, or operational responsibilities.

However, no digital communication, website, database, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users share information with High Noon at their own risk and should avoid sending highly sensitive information through WhatsApp, email, social media, or other messaging platforms.

12. Children and Minors

High Noon does not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate parental or guardian consent.

If a parent or guardian believes that a minor has provided personal information to High Noon without proper consent, they may contact us and request that the information be reviewed, corrected, or deleted.

13. International Users and Transfers

High Noon works with users, participants, team members, and service providers in different countries. As a result, personal information may be processed or stored in countries outside the user’s country of residence.

When we use service providers located in other countries, we take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is handled securely and in accordance with applicable privacy laws and this Privacy Policy.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

High Noon may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we may update the “Updated” date at the top of this page. Users are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how High Noon protects personal information.
