PRIVACY POLICY
A Warm Welcome to Our Privacy Practices
Hello and welcome to Ortud! We’re Ortud, Inc. (that’s us, often just called “Ortud” or “we”), and we’re delighted you’re here. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information across our websites (like ortud.com), apps, events, and other services. It’s part of our Terms of Service, so by exploring our content, joining events, or using our features, you’re letting us know you’re comfortable with these practices.
We’re focused on your personal information—things like your name or email that could identify you (we call this “Personally Identifiable Information” for short). This covers what we collect when you log in, sign up for webinars, or chat in our forum. Just a gentle note: This policy is only about us, not our partners or third parties we might share info with. We’ll explain those details below.
What Information We Collect About You
We’re transparent about the info we gather, and we only ask for what’s needed to make your experience great. Here’s a friendly overview:
What You Share with Us When you interact with us, we might collect:
- Your name, email, mailing address, or phone number
- Credit card details (for payments, of course)
- Your blog/website URL, social media handles, or a photo
- Fun demographics like age, gender, interests, or preferences
- Professional info, such as your title, company, or industry
- What you’ve viewed or done on Ortud
Sometimes, we need this to unlock features like webinars or downloads. If you’d rather not share, no worries—you can still enjoy most of Ortud, though some extras might not be available. We truly appreciate honest details when you provide them.
Info We Pick Up Automatically As you browse our sites, apps, or events, we quietly note a few tech basics to improve things:
- Your browser type, operating system, or device details (like a unique ID)
- IP address, internet provider, or rough location
- Pages viewed, visit times, connection speed, or how you got here (like a referring site)
- When you first signed up
This helps us make Ortud smoother and more tailored for you.
Insights from Partners Events and Webinars: If you join one of our gatherings, our registration helpers (like Eventbrite) might share your details with us, such as your name or email, to make everything run seamlessly.
Other Sites You Connect Through: If you link Ortud to places like LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter (we call these “Third Party Websites”), they could send us bits like your profile name, photo, interests, or friends list. For instance, this lets you easily share content or connect with contacts. It’s all optional—we respect your choices, and we’re not in charge of their privacy rules. Please check their settings to feel good about what they share.
How We Use Your Information
At heart, we use what you share to bring you the best Ortud has to offer. Think personalization, smooth service, and a bit of magic in your feed.
We might send friendly emails about new features, offers, or content we think you’ll love—based on your interests. You can always opt out; we’ll explain how below.
A Quick Note on Cookies Cookies are like helpful notes our site leaves on your device to remember you. They let us recognize your preferences, track trends, fix glitches, and show relevant ads or content. We use them to make visits feel continuous and personal.
If cookies aren’t your thing, you can tweak your browser settings to say no—though that might limit logins or interactive bits. We’re not responsible for how third-party cookies work, but we’ll keep things clear.
Keeping Your Info Up to Date
We want everything to reflect you, so here’s how to make changes:
- Log in and edit your account, or email us at support@ortud.com.
- Unsubscribe from emails by clicking the link in any message we send.
- Reach out anytime at support@ortud.com for preferences or questions.
Your privacy matters, and we’re here to help.
Sharing Your Information with Others
We don’t share willy-nilly—only when it helps you or us, and always with care. By using Ortud, you’re okay with these thoughtful shares. Remember, this policy doesn’t cover what they do with the info.
Our Trusted Helpers (Service Providers): We team up with pros for hosting, payments, and more. They only get what’s needed, like for event registrations or webinar tech (e.g., GoToWebinar or Wistia).
Events and Sponsors: For webinars or events, we might share your details with organizers or sponsors so they can follow up with useful info. If it’s a sponsored session, they could reach out about their offerings—you can always say no.
Our Website Hosts: Your data lives securely on servers from our reliable platform partners.
Social Sharing: When you hit “Like” or “Share” buttons (like on Facebook), we send info to those sites. It’s visible to your network, so choose what feels right. Review their privacy tips!
Ads and Insights: To show ads that match your vibe, we work with ad networks and analytics tools (following IAB standards). They might use trackers beyond cookies—we can’t control that, but their rules apply, not ours.
Work Subscriptions: If your job provides your access, we might notify them when you log in, sharing basics like your name or email.
Payments: For billing, we use safe processors like Stripe or PayPal. They handle your card details just for the transaction.
Tech Bits in URLs: Page addresses might show what you’re viewing or your login status—handy, but it could pass to other sites if you click away.
When We Must Share: In rare cases, like legal requests, fraud checks, or protecting our community, we may share to stay safe and compliant. We team up with others for that too.
Your Public Shares: Comments or posts on Ortud? They’re out there for all to see—search engines, friends, anyone. We can’t guard what’s public, so share thoughtfully.
If Things Change for Us: Should Ortud join a new family (like a sale), your info could transfer. The new folks would follow this policy.
Staying Safe with Your Info
We’re committed to keeping your details confidential with solid security steps—like encryption and access controls. That said, no system’s perfect, so we can’t promise total invulnerability. Please guard your password, log out on shared devices, and let us know if something feels off.
Staying in Touch
We love chatting! If you’ve signed up for events or services, expect helpful emails or texts from us. It’s all with your okay, and you can pause anytime: Just reply to a message or email support@ortud.com with your details and request. We’ll still send must-know updates for your account or events.
A Note on Updates
We’re always evolving, so this policy might get a refresh. We’ll post notices here or email you about big changes—sticking around means you’re on board. Ortud’s here for you, but stepping away is always your call. For more, peek at our Affiliate Disclosure and Terms of Service.
This Privacy Policy takes effect on November 13, 2025. Thanks for trusting us—we’re grateful! Questions? support@ortud.com.
