1.Introduction and Definitions

This privacy policy describes our privacy practices relevant to the Site, Services and Platform and the impact these practices have on Applicants, Site Visitors, Coaches and Users. Each term is defined below. Let’s start with a brief overview of what we do, how and where we might be collecting data and then define some relevant terms.

Thelma offers parents quality coaching through a variety of behavioral techniques and methods (the “Services”) through our online platform (the “Platform”). People to whom we provide Services directly via the Platform we will refer to as “Users”.

We also collect data from parenting coaches (“Coaches”) who typically contract with us to provide services to Users via the Platform and from visitors (“Visitors”) to our website www.mythelma.com (the “Site”).

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Data You Provide to Us Data From Our Website If you are a visitor to our public website, MyThelma.com and its subdomains, we and trusted third parties acting on our behalf will collect certain information. We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels and ad tags) to collect data (e.g., device IDs) from our public Site to recognize you and your device(s) on, off and across different services and devices where you have engaged with our Site. We also allow third parties to use cookies as the Cookie Policy describes, including to assist in our marketing and advertising campaigns. We may also collect (or rely on others who collect) data about your device where you have not engaged with our Site (e.g., ad ID, IP address, operating system and browser data) so we can provide our Visitors with a better user experience. You can opt out from our use of data from cookies and similar technologies that track your behavior on the sites of others for ad targeting and other ad-related purposes.

Data From Coaches

If you are a Coach, we collect data when you submit an inquiry to provide coaching services for us, when you use the Platform, when you request technical support, and when you otherwise initiate communication with us. We never require Coaches to provide us any sensitive Personal Data (e.g. financial data), although we may request demographic or other personal data from Coaches when we are testing a new tool or feature, staffing a specific program for customers, or conducting research studies. The type of demographic or personal data we may request may include gender, race, ethnicity, specialized skills such as ASL, or for federal programs, your citizenship. When asking for demographic data, Thelma does so because we believe it will improve the services for our Users and Coaches; however, providing such personal information shall remain optional. We may ask for your consent as a Coach to record your coaching session for training, research, or additional purposes as further described below, in which case we may collect data capturing your image, voice, and/or a transcript of recording in order to conduct analysis for the betterment of the User, also known as our Members, and your future coaching sessions. Thelma understands video recordings may capture sensitive personal information; therefore where possible, Thelma will minimize the amount of personal data being accessed by analyzing the recordings after de-identification or conducting analysis on the transcript rather than the full video. We discuss this further below. As a Coach, we may ask you to provide us data to improve your experience on the Platform. For example, we may ask Coaches: to review your coaching and Platform experience AND personal preferences within your Coach profile, such as preferred pronouns and preferred language In all circumstances, your decision to provide Thelma with Personal Data has no impact on your role as a Coach, and you may withdraw consent at any time by emailing. info@thelma.com.

We require certain Personal Data in order to register your account, such as: ·Your name ·Your email address ·Your phone number ·Your role or title ·Your Country and State (where applicable) We require this data for at least the following reasons: 1) to create your account; 2) to ensure you are matched with a coach in an appropriate time zone; 3) ensure we have minimum location data to honor your specific privacy rights; and 4) to ensure you receive coaching from a coach who expertise matches your needs.

Thelma is constantly looking for ways to level up our services, to find a way to use the behavioral sciences to improve your coaching journey. Occasionally in our pursuit of the best tools to provide the analysis we need to serve our Users, we may use third party vendors to assist with analyzing this data. When working with third party vendors, Thelma’s priority is to provide data in a deidentified manner and will ensure that your data remains confidential to your experience with Thelma. Thelma requires all third party vendors to certify in contract they will never sell data and will maintain strict privacy and security controls for all data they may have access to as a result of working with Thelma. Occasionally, the third party vendors providing analysis of this data may utilize Artificial Intelligence. That means, in addition to the contractual protections noted above, any data received from Thelma cannot be used to train their algorithms or data models and must be immediately deleted after providing the requested analysis. Any data shared with our third party vendors remains encrypted in transit. The Recordings will be securely stored in our data center in the United States and our employees can access them on a need-to-know basis only.
