1. Introduction

Protection of Masculinity Organizations Inc. ("POMO Inc," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our website (regardless of where you visit it from) and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

2. Confidentiality of Support Services

Because we deal with sensitive mental wellness and personal growth topics, confidentiality is our highest priority. Information shared within our Virtual Support Circles, Masterminds, and clinical referral networks is strictly confidential. We do not record Support Circle sessions without explicit, unanimous consent, and even then, such recordings are strictly for internal training and never distributed publicly.

3. Data We Collect About You

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

  • Identity Data: includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier.
  • Contact Data: includes email address, telephone numbers, and mailing address.
  • Financial Data: includes payment card details (processed securely via third-party processors like Stripe; we do not store full credit card numbers on our servers).
  • Transaction Data: includes details about payments to and from you and other details of events or donations you have made.

4. How We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you (e.g., registering for an event).
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

5. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know.
