Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how SODEMA ("we", "us", "our") handles information in connection with our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

Data We Collect

For the Free Tools (the vast majority of this site):

• We collect no personal information whatsoever.
• All data you enter into any tool (objectives, learner personas, storyboards, glossary terms, etc.) is stored exclusively in your browser's Local Storage.
• This data never leaves your device and is never sent to our servers.
• You can clear this data at any time by clicking the "Clear All" button within any tool, or by clearing your browser's local storage.

For the Contact / Consultation Form:

• If you submit an enquiry, we collect your name, email address, and message.
• This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry.
• We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

Analytics & Cookies

We may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as Google Analytics or a self-hosted alternative) to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate. This helps us improve the tools.

• Analytics data is anonymised and aggregated — we cannot identify individual visitors from it.
• We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.
• You can opt out of analytics cookies by using your browser's built-in settings or a browser extension such as uBlock Origin.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:

• Legal requirement: If required by law or a valid legal process.
• Service providers: Strictly necessary third parties (e.g., email delivery for responding to your enquiry) who are contractually bound to confidentiality.

Security

Since the free tools store all data locally in your browser, the security of that data depends on the security of your own device and browser. We recommend:

• Keeping your browser up to date.
• Not using shared or public computers to access sensitive work data.

For enquiry data submitted via the contact form, we use industry-standard practices to store and protect your information.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate information.
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data.
• Withdrawal of consent: Withdraw consent for processing at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via the contact form.

Children's Privacy

SODEMA is designed for adult professionals. We do not knowingly collect any data from children under the age of 16. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
