This Privacy Policy applies to: https://www.elev8youcoaching.com

1. Introduction

At Elev8 Coaching & Resumes, we are committed to protecting your professional and personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information across our Resume Writing, Career Strategy, and Strong Interest Inventory® career assessment services.

2. Information We Collect

To provide high-level career advocacy, we can collect the following:

Professional Identifiers: Name, email, address, LinkedIn URL, and phone number.
Employment Data: Work history, education, and skills provided for resume drafting.
Assessment Data: Responses and results from the Strong Interest Inventory®. This includes your General Occupational Themes (RIASEC), Basic Interest Scales, and Personal Style Scales.
Sensitive Information: We only collect sensitive data (e.g., veteran status) if voluntarily provided for specific coaching needs.

3. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used solely to advance your career goals:

Coaching & Drafting: To create high-impact resumes and conduct strategy sessions.
Assessment Analysis: To interpret your Strong Interest Inventory® results and provide data-driven career direction.
AI Disclosure: We may use secure AI tools to assist in market analysis or drafting.

We do not feed your personal data into public AI training models. Your professional identity remains private and is never used to "train" third-party algorithms.

4. Third-Party Assessment Portals

As a Strong Certified Practitioner, I use authorized third-party platforms (such as The Myers-Briggs Company/Elevate) to administer the Strong Interest Inventory®. These platforms have their own enterprise-grade security. We only provide the minimum data (Name/Email) required to generate your assessment link. We do not sell your assessment results to recruiters or third-party marketers.
