Natural Law Institute

The Natural Law Institute (“the Institute,” “we,” “our”) respects your privacy. This policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, and the limited circumstances under which we share it.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your name and email address. If you purchase a course, we collect your billing address as required for payment processing.

Payment Information

Payment is processed entirely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number, bank account details, or other payment credentials on our servers. Stripe’s handling of your payment data is governed by Stripe’s Privacy Policy.

Usage Data

We collect basic usage data including pages visited, course progress, and access timestamps. This data is used to improve the platform and ensure course delivery functions correctly.

2. How We Use Information

We use your information to:

Provide and maintain your account and course access.
Process transactions and send purchase confirmations.
Send transactional emails (account verification, password resets, purchase receipts).
Improve the platform based on aggregate usage patterns.
Respond to support inquiries.

We do not send marketing emails unless you have explicitly opted in.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with the following service providers, and only to the extent necessary to operate the platform:

Stripe — for payment processing. Stripe receives the billing and payment information necessary to complete your transaction.
Resend — for transactional email delivery. Resend receives your email address to deliver account and purchase-related messages.

We may disclose information if required by law or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety, or respond to a lawful government request.

4. Cookies

We use session cookies to maintain your login state and ensure the platform functions correctly. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (for example, transaction records for tax compliance).

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate data.
Request deletion of your account and associated personal data.
Withdraw consent for any optional data processing at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at NLIStaff@NaturalLawInstitute.org.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 16, we will delete that information promptly.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
