Privacy Statement

The site collects only what it needs to run the training:

• Account information — the email address and password you use to sign in. Passwords are stored hashed, never in plain text.
• Learning progress — which units you have marked complete, so the trail map and dashboard can show you where you are.
• Your contributions — comments, reflections, and pulse-check responses you submit inside a unit. These are tied to your account so your instructor can respond.
• Certification requests — if you request a certificate of completion, the name and email you provide for it.
• Basic operational data — standard web server and hosting logs (such as request times and error traces) used to keep the site running and secure.

The site does not run advertising trackers, sell data, or build a marketing profile of you.

Each item above exists to deliver the course: to sign you in, to remember your progress, to let instructors coach you on your written work, and to issue certificates. We do not use this information for any purpose unrelated to running the academy.

• You see your own account, progress, and contributions.
• Instructors and administrators (Modus Institute staff and designated SITSD program leads) can see learner progress and the comments and reflections submitted, in order to coach and to report on the cohort.
• Other learners do not see your private reflections or pulse-check responses.

A small number of vendors process data on the site’s behalf, under their own terms:

• Vercel — hosts and serves the application.
• Mux — delivers the course videos and provides playback. Standard video delivery and viewing data may be processed to stream the content reliably.

These providers act as processors for the academy and are not permitted to use your information for their own marketing.

Account, progress, and contribution data is retained for the duration of the engagement and the cohort it supports. When the engagement ends, the State and Modus Institute agree on what is archived for program reporting and what is deleted. You may ask for your account and contributions to be removed at any time (see below).

Because this site supports a State of Montana program, some information may be subject to Montana public-records law. Coursework and program records may be retained or disclosed as that law requires, independent of the retention practices described above.

You can ask to see what is held about you, correct it, or have your account and contributions deleted. Password managers and paste are supported on the sign-in form, and the site uses no CAPTCHA or puzzle-based authentication.

For any privacy question, or to make a request about your data, contact Modus Institute at hello@moduscooperandi.com. Questions about how the State of Montana handles program records can also be directed to your SITSD program contact.
