About This Policy

GURU Business Canada (operated by GURU Business Creation & Training Inc.) operates the website at gurubusiness.ca and the MY GURU client portal. This Privacy Policy describes the personal information we may collect through these services, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

We are committed to handling personal information responsibly and in a manner consistent with applicable Canadian privacy law. This policy does not certify compliance with any specific legal standard — it describes our actual practices.

Information We Collect

Consultation and contact requests. When you submit a consultation request or contact form on our website, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, phone number, city and province, the type of business you are interested in, your investment range, and any goals or notes you include in your message.

MY GURU client accounts. If you are onboarded as a GURU Business client, we create a password-protected account for you in the MY GURU portal. We collect and store your name, email address, and information related to your business build, including progress updates, milestones, documents, meeting records, and communications shared through the portal.

Website usage information. Like most websites, our server and hosting infrastructure may automatically collect standard technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URL. We use this information for security and to understand how our website is used.

How We Use Your Information

Consultation requests are used to respond to your inquiry, assess whether GURU Business is a good fit for your goals, and schedule a consultation. We may follow up by email or phone using the contact information you provided.

MY GURU portal information is used to manage your active business build, communicate progress and updates, share documents, coordinate meetings, and provide the services described in your client agreement.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Service Providers

We use third-party service providers to operate our website and deliver our services. These providers may process personal information on our behalf and are required to handle it appropriately. Our current infrastructure relies on hosting and cloud services to store and serve website content and portal data.

We may also use email delivery services to send transactional messages such as consultation confirmations and portal notifications. These services process the email addresses and message content required to deliver those communications.

Safeguards

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. MY GURU portal accounts are protected by password authentication, and documents stored in the portal are not publicly accessible.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to maintaining appropriate safeguards for the information we hold.

Retention

We retain consultation inquiry information for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for our records.

MY GURU client account information is retained for the duration of the client relationship and for a reasonable period following the conclusion of services, as required for business and legal purposes.

Access, Correction, and Privacy Choices

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct inaccurate information, by contacting us at the email address below.

If you submitted a consultation request and do not wish to be contacted further, you may let us know and we will respect that preference.

MY GURU portal accounts are managed by GURU Business staff. If you wish to update your account information or have questions about your account, please contact us directly.

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies for session management, security, and to understand how visitors use the site. The MY GURU portal uses session cookies to maintain your authenticated login state.

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the MY GURU portal.
