Detailed Privacy Policy
This policy is written for the current TBA Energy website, contact forms, educational experiences, interactive energy tools, and related services.
1. What this policy covers
This Privacy Policy applies to the TBA Energy website, contact forms, workshop inquiries, educational content, interactive energy tools, downloadable reports, and related digital experiences operated by TBA Energy. The policy explains what information may be collected, how it may be used, when it may be shared, and how visitors, instructors, students, clients, and workshop participants can contact us about privacy questions.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide directly. This may include your name, email address, phone number, organization, school, job title, inquiry details, workshop goals, class size, preferred session format, and any message or files you choose to submit through forms or email.
Interactive tool and session information. When TBA Energy tools, including the Energy Strategy Game, are used on the website, they may collect or generate team names, session settings, selected roles, scenario choices, round results, reports, exports, and facilitator notes.
Website and technical information. The website may collect standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, approximate location inferred from IP address, referring pages, timestamps, cookies, analytics events, security logs, and form-delivery logs.
3. How we use information
We may use information to respond to inquiries, plan workshops, prepare consulting or educational sessions, configure or support digital tools, generate reports or exports requested by a facilitator, troubleshoot technical issues, protect the website, improve user experience, communicate about services, and comply with legal or operational requirements. We may also use aggregated or de-identified outcomes to improve learning design, scenario balance, facilitation notes, and clarity of explanations.
4. Classroom, workshop, and tool data
TBA Energy digital tools are designed for education, training, strategy, and discussion. Participants should not enter unnecessary personal information into team names, notes, exports, or open-text fields. Instructors and facilitators should use neutral team names whenever possible. If a tool is used in a classroom or workshop, the instructor, school, company, or sponsoring organization may decide how participants join, what names or identifiers are used, which exports are downloaded, and how results are discussed. TBA Energy will handle information it controls according to this policy.
5. Cookies, analytics, and security tools
The website may use cookies or similar technologies for necessary site functions, form operation, security, performance measurement, analytics, embedded media, and remembering basic preferences. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies, although some site features may not work as intended.
External services, such as LinkedIn, Instagram, analytics tools, hosting providers, media platforms, or embedded content providers, may collect information under their own privacy policies when you interact with their services or follow links away from this website.
6. How information is shared
We do not sell personal information. We do not use inquiry, classroom, workshop, or tool participation data for targeted advertising. We may share information with service providers that help operate the website, host content, process forms, deliver email, provide security, analyze site performance, or support digital tools. We may also share relevant session information with the instructor, facilitator, school, company, or organization that requested or administers a session. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer.
7. Data retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, including responding to inquiries, supporting workshops, maintaining business records, improving services, resolving disputes, and meeting legal or operational requirements. Reports or exports downloaded by instructors, facilitators, or clients are controlled by the person or organization that downloads them. If you want a classroom, workshop, or tool export deleted or corrected, contact the instructor/facilitator first when they control the file, and contact TBA Energy for information TBA Energy controls.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No website, form, email system, or online tool can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive information unless it is necessary.
9. Your choices and privacy rights
You may contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or an explanation of personal information that TBA Energy maintains about you. You may also ask to stop receiving non-essential communications. Depending on where you live, privacy laws may provide additional rights, such as data portability, restriction of processing, objection to certain uses, or the right to opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. TBA Energy does not currently sell personal information or use classroom, workshop, or tool participation data for targeted advertising.
10. International visitors
TBA Energy is based in the United States. If you access the website or services from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where service providers operate. Those locations may have privacy laws that differ from the laws in your country.
11. Third-party links
The website may link to third-party websites and social platforms, including LinkedIn and Instagram. Those services are not controlled by TBA Energy, and their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
12. Updates to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the website, services, digital tools, teaching materials, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
