Effective date: November 11, 2026

Online Workshop Hub is a project operated by HSU Academy Inc. (“HSU Academy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This notice applies to onlineworkshophub.com, its inquiry forms, member portal, and related services coordinated through this project. Other HSU Academy projects have their own site-specific notices.

Information we collect

We collect information you provide when you contact us, request a service, apply as a provider, maintain an account, or submit a profile-change request. This may include your name, email, telephone number, time zone, account information, messages, and organization and role, workshop objectives, team needs, scheduling preferences, and materials you choose to provide. Provider information may include professional background, qualifications, biographies, photographs, service offerings, and onboarding documents requested separately.

Website hosting and installed services can also process IP addresses, browser and device details, page visits, referral information, cookies, security logs, and form-submission metadata. If you make a purchase, we and the payment services used for that transaction process order, billing, payment-status, and transaction information. Do not send card details through ordinary forms or email.

How we use information

We use information to respond to inquiries; identify suitable providers; coordinate scope, availability and services; administer accounts and profile updates; process transactions and support requests; maintain records; prevent misuse; improve the website; and communicate about requested services. Where permitted, we may send project news or service information. You can unsubscribe from marketing messages; essential service communications may still be necessary.

Accounts and Google sign-in

Where Google sign-in is enabled, Google supplies the basic identity information authorized during sign-in, such as an account identifier, name, email address, and available profile image. We use it to authenticate and associate your website account. We do not receive your Google password. Signing in does not by itself authorize access to your Gmail, Google Drive, or private calendar, and does not grant provider or administrator privileges. Any additional integration requires its own authorization. You may review connected access in your Google account.

Who receives information

Relevant HSU Academy personnel and service providers may access information needed to operate the project. When arranging services, we share relevant contact details, goals, and coordination information with the independent facilitators involved. Public provider profiles display the professional information submitted for publication and may be indexed by search engines. Private inquiries and account records are not intended for public profile publication.

Technology services used by the site include WordPress.com/Automattic hosting, Jetpack forms and related functionality, Akismet spam protection, and WooCommerce account or commerce functionality. Depending on the features you use, information may also be processed by Google, payment processors, communication and scheduling services, and linked or embedded services such as YouTube and Playlab. These services have their own privacy practices. We may disclose information when legally required, to address fraud or safety issues, or in a business transfer subject to applicable privacy obligations.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Cookies and similar technologies support login, security, preferences, site measurement, and advertising features. The website uses WordPress/Jetpack services and has Meta Pixel technology installed; when active, advertising tools can transmit browser identifiers, page visits, and event information to Meta for measurement or advertising. Third parties may collect information about activity over time and across websites. Such disclosures may be treated as sale or sharing for targeted advertising under some privacy laws; this notice does not promise that all advertising-related sharing is absent.

You can manage cookies through your browser and advertising preferences through the relevant provider. Blocking cookies may affect login and other functions. Legacy Do Not Track browser signals are not a reliable site-wide opt-out mechanism here. For privacy requests, including applicable sale/sharing or targeted-advertising opt-outs, contact us using the details below. Where applicable law requires honoring recognized opt-out preference signals, those obligations continue to apply; this notice does not replace technical consent or opt-out controls.

Children and sensitive information

Account holders and booking contacts must be adults. If an organization requests a workshop involving minors, the participation, safeguarding, and parental authorization arrangements must be agreed before the activity. Children under 13 should not submit personal information through this website. Contact us if you believe information was submitted without appropriate authorization.

Recordings, AI tools, and external services

A website inquiry or Google sign-in is not consent to recording or AI transcription. Before any session recording or transcription, the organizer must explain the purpose, access, and handling and obtain the permissions required for that session. Linked AI tools and external meeting or learning services operate under their own terms. Avoid entering confidential or sensitive information into them unless you understand and accept the relevant handling arrangements.

Retention, security, and international processing

Information is retained for as long as reasonably needed for the inquiry, account, engagement, transaction, legal recordkeeping, or dispute involved. Retention depends on the record type and applicable obligations; deletion requests may be subject to those obligations and backup-retention cycles. We use access controls and available hosting safeguards, but no system is completely secure. HSU Academy is based in the United States, and independent providers or technology vendors may process information in other countries.

Your choices and requests

You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information, close an account, or stop marketing communications. Depending on your location and the laws applicable to our business, you may also have rights to portability, restriction, objection, or an opt-out of certain processing. We assess requests under the applicable law, may reasonably verify identity or authority, and explain any lawful limitation. Parents and authorized agents should identify the basis for their authority. You do not need a website account to contact us about privacy.

Email hsum@hsuacademy.com or use our contact form. Please identify Online Workshop Hub and describe your request without sending passwords, payment-card details, or unnecessary sensitive information.

Changes to this policy

We will post revisions here with an updated effective date and provide additional notice or obtain consent when required for material changes. See also our Terms of Service.
