Last Updated: January 15, 2025

Information Collection and Use

At Homvex, we collect information that helps us provide better career development services focused on designer mindset education. Here's what we gather and why:

Personal Information We Collect

  • Contact details: name, email address, phone number
  • Educational background and career objectives
  • Learning preferences and program interests
  • Communication records from our interactions

We collect this information when you contact us, sign up for our newsletter, or express interest in our learning programs. Everything we gather serves one purpose – helping you develop the designer mindset skills that matter in today's creative industries.

Important: We never collect sensitive personal data like financial information, health records, or political preferences. Our focus stays strictly on educational and professional development matters.

How We Use Your Information

Your personal information helps us create meaningful educational experiences. We use it to:

  • Send information about upcoming learning programs scheduled for autumn 2025 and early 2026
  • Customize communication based on your career development interests
  • Respond to your questions about designer mindset education
  • Improve our educational content and program structure
  • Maintain records of our professional interactions

Marketing Communications

We may send you updates about new programs, educational resources, and industry insights related to design thinking. You can opt out of these communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

Data Storage and Protection

Protecting your information is serious business for us. We implement several layers of security:

Technical Security Measures

  • Encrypted data transmission using SSL certificates
  • Secure cloud storage with access controls
  • Regular security audits and system updates
  • Password-protected administrative access

Access Controls

Only authorized team members who need access to provide educational services can view your personal information. We maintain logs of who accesses what data and when.

While we take extensive precautions, no online system is 100% secure. We continuously monitor and improve our security practices to protect your information.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We don't sell your personal information to anyone. That's a firm commitment. However, we do work with trusted service providers who help us deliver our educational programs:

Service Providers We Work With

  • Email marketing platforms for program announcements
  • Cloud storage providers for secure data management
  • Web hosting services for our online presence
  • Analytics tools to understand how people use our website

These partners are contractually bound to protect your information and can only use it for the specific services they provide to us. We carefully vet all third parties before sharing any data.

We may share information if required by Estonian law or if necessary to protect our legal rights, but we'll notify you unless legally prohibited from doing so.

Under Estonian data protection laws and GDPR, you have several important rights regarding your personal information:

Data Retention

We don't keep your information forever. Our retention periods depend on the type of data and our legitimate business needs:

  • Communication records: Maintained for 5 years for quality assurance
  • Website analytics: Anonymized after 26 months
  • Marketing preferences: Stored until you opt out or request deletion

Some information may need to be retained longer for legal compliance, such as accounting records or contracts. We'll explain specific retention periods when you ask about your data.

International Data Transfers

As an Estonian company, we primarily store and process data within the European Union. However, some of our trusted service providers may process information outside the EU:

Transfer Safeguards

  • We only use providers with adequate data protection measures
  • Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
  • Regular assessments of third-party security practices

If you have concerns about where your data is processed, contact us for specific details about our current service providers and their locations.
