About GDPR?

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation, a new privacy lawthat regulates the processing of personal data relating to individuals in the EuropeanUnion.

GDPR strengthens the rights that individuals have regarding theirpersonal data, and seeks to unify data protection laws across Europe.

We’re treating everyone as if they lived in the EU. This means that:

With GDPR you can:

• Ask for a copy of the personal datawe’ve collected about you. Unless you’re in The Culture Development Seminar,the answer is: Your email address. For students in Culture Development Seminar,we only keep data about your actual interactions and engagement in theseminars.
• Request that we stop sending youdirect marketing messages. This is as easy as it has ever been.Unsubscribe/stop following, and we’ll stop. Our goal is simply to keep ourpromise, not to profit from your data.

 We use MailChimp to carry our email messages, and we’ll work with themin removing your name (and there’s an unsubscribe button in every email). Anytexts can be stopped immediately via our text interface. All credit cardprocessing is done with Stripe and we never see your data.
