Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 23, 2026

1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy applies to counssia.com ("we," "us," or "our"), a personal website operated by Counssia Touré, based in Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada. counssia.com is the personal umbrella platform of Counssia Touré — writer, songwriter, healer, and thinker. You may contact us at any time at [email protected].

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us when you fill out the contact form on our website, book a session through Calendly, download our speaker brochure, or communicate with us by email. This may include your name, email address, business or organization name, and the content of your message. We do not collect payment information directly — all session bookings are managed through Calendly, which has its own privacy policy. We do not use cookies of our own, though third-party services embedded on our site (Calendly, Spotify, YouTube) may set their own cookies subject to their respective policies. We do not collect information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries and booking requests, to send you information about our services when you have requested it, to fulfill speaking engagement agreements and consulting contracts, and to improve the content and functionality of our website. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (Québec and Canadian Law)

Our collection and use of personal information is governed by the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Québec Law 25) and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). We collect your information only with your consent, which you provide when you submit our contact form or initiate a booking. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Upon withdrawal, we will cease to use your information for the purpose for which consent was given, subject to any legal obligations to retain records.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Contact form submissions are retained for a period of two years. Contract-related records, including speaking engagement agreements and consulting correspondence, are retained for seven years in accordance with standard business record-keeping requirements under Québec law.

6. Your Rights

Under Québec Law 25 and PIPEDA, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate information, to withdraw consent to the collection or use of your information, and to request the deletion of your information where we have no legal obligation to retain it. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to all requests within 30 days.

7. Third-Party Services

Our website embeds or links to the following third-party services, each of which operates under its own privacy policy: YouTube (video content), and Starseed Learning at invest-starseedlearning.com. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these services. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before interacting with embedded content.

8. Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Our website is served over HTTPS. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
