We are committed to handling personal information responsibly, maintaining transparency about our data practices, and respecting the privacy of individuals who visit, register for, or use our services.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose, and protect personal information when you interact with our websites, membership services, digital tools, business listings, community features, and related services.

Our mission is to expand access to entrepreneurial knowledge, digital business tools, professional opportunities, and community connections while operating responsibly and respecting the privacy of our users.

Internet Protocol (IP) address
Browser and device information
Operating system
Pages visited and navigation activity

When visitors or members contact us through website forms, support tools, or AI-powered chatbots, we may process:

Questions submitted by visitors or members
Chat messages and conversation history
Contact information voluntarily provided
Technical details needed for support
Feedback about the website or services

Chatbot conversations may be stored in our WordPress websites and may be transmitted to third-party AI technology providers, depending on the configuration of our chatbot services.

These services may include Hyve Connect, OpenAI API services, or other authorized providers.

Users should not submit passwords, payment card numbers, government identification numbers, or other highly sensitive information through chatbot conversations.

AI-generated chatbot responses are provided to assist with general information and navigation and may require independent verification.

4. How We Use Personal Information

1Knowledge LLC uses personal information for legitimate business and operational purposes, including:

Membership and Account Administration

To create accounts, manage subscriptions, verify access permissions, provide member services, and maintain account functionality.

Business Networking and Professional Connections

To make permitted member profiles, business information, professional services, and marketplace listings discoverable by other users.

Communication and Collaboration

To support forums, messaging, Business Spaces, project coordination, business discussions, and other communication features.

Marketplace and Professional Services Operations

To display listings, support searches, facilitate inquiries, and enable communications between potential buyers, sellers, customers, and professional service providers.

To answer questions, respond to inquiries, resolve technical issues, and assist users with navigation and membership services.

Administrative and Legal Responsibilities

To maintain necessary business records, comply with applicable laws, resolve disputes, and protect lawful business interests.

Communications and Marketing

To send service notifications, membership updates, educational materials, and promotional communications where permitted by law.

Users may unsubscribe from optional marketing emails using the unsubscribe instructions provided or by contacting us.

Essential membership, security, billing, and administrative communications may continue when necessary.

5. Information Shared Across Our Connected Platforms

1Knowledge Online, 1Knowledge Professional Services, and 1Knowledge Marketplace are operated as parts of the same business ecosystem under 1Knowledge LLC.

Where technically implemented, account, membership, and administrative information may be used across these platforms to support:

Membership eligibility and access verification
Account management
Platform navigation and connected services
Customer support
Security and account integrity
Consistent administration of member services

Connected websites may maintain separate registrations, login sessions, and databases, depending on their technical configurations.

Information is shared or accessed across platforms only as needed for the disclosed purposes and consistent with applicable law.

The fact that the websites share a common business operator does not mean that every account record, private message, or uploaded file is automatically available across all three websites.

6. Marketplace Privacy and Independent Transactions

1Knowledge Marketplace is designed as a listing and communication service.

Under its current operating model, buyers and sellers communicate about listed items and independently arrange payment, delivery, pickup, or exchanges outside the website.

1Knowledge Marketplace does not currently process payments for buyer-to-seller item exchanges directly through its website.

Users are responsible for deciding whether to share additional contact information or arranging a meeting or exchange with another individual.

Communications sent through the platform may be stored or accessible to authorized administrators for legitimate operational, support, moderation, security, or legal purposes.

Information exchanged outside our websites, including through personal telephone calls, independent payment applications, or in-person meetings, may be subject to the practices of the individuals and outside services involved.

1Knowledge LLC does not automatically receive a complete record of these independent transactions.

If integrated marketplace checkout, payment processing, delivery management, or additional transactional services are introduced in the future, we will disclose applicable new data practices before those features are used.

7. Professional Services Privacy

1Knowledge Professional Services allows participating professionals to present their skills, advertise services, and communicate with potential customers.

Information voluntarily included in public listings may be visible to website visitors and search engines.

Messages and service inquiries may be used to facilitate communication, maintain platform functionality, handle support requests, or address suspected misuse.

Independent professionals and customers are responsible for their own arrangements and for the information they independently exchange outside the platform.

If future features introduce booking, integrated payments, identity verification, or other professional-service transactions, additional information may be necessary.

Any materially different collection or use of personal information will be disclosed before implementation.

8. Fundraising, Business Projects, and Collaboration

1Knowledge Online may provide members with features supporting peer-to-peer fundraising, project management, file sharing, digital meetings, and business collaboration.

Information processed through these tools may include:

Project descriptions and updates
Campaign details
Shared documents and media
Participant names and communications
Meeting participation information
Administrative records related to supported activities

Access to information may depend on the visibility, membership, and permission settings of the relevant feature.

Fundraising contributions or other financial transactions, when supported, may be processed through separate payment providers. Their handling of payment data is governed by their applicable notices and agreements.

Members should not upload confidential records or sensitive information unless the relevant service is intended and appropriately configured for that purpose.

We will provide additional disclosures when newly introduced features require materially different processing, such as meeting recording, expanded financial processing, or identity verification.

9. Public Profiles, Listings, and Community Visibility

Some information shared through 1Knowledge platforms may be publicly accessible.

This may include:

User-selected display names
Business names and professional profiles
Business Spaces and published listings
Public forum posts and comments
Public campaign information
Reviews or other publicly submitted contributions

Publicly available information may be viewed, copied, indexed, or shared by third parties outside our control.

Users should carefully consider the information they choose to publish.

Removing information from our websites does not necessarily remove copies previously collected by search engines, other websites, or individual users.

Private or restricted content is subject to the permissions and features of the applicable service and may be accessible to authorized administrators when reasonably necessary.

10. Cookies, Website Analytics, and Tracking Technologies

Our websites may use cookies and similar technologies for:

User authentication and login sessions
Membership functionality
Website security
Saving user preferences
Performance and caching
Technical troubleshooting
Website analytics, where enabled
Advertising or promotional measurement, where enabled

Our WordPress websites may also rely on plugins and third-party services that use cookies or related technical identifiers.

Some cookies are necessary for essential website functionality. Others may be optional, depending on our website configuration and applicable legal requirements.

Users can manage certain cookies through their browser settings and through any privacy or cookie-preference controls made available on our websites.

Disabling essential cookies may prevent certain features from working properly.

Where applicable law requires consent before optional tracking technologies are activated, we will provide the required choices.

If we implement advertising technologies that constitute a sale or sharing of personal information under applicable privacy laws, we will provide the legally required disclosures and opt-out mechanisms.

11. When We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to operate our services or meet legal obligations.

Categories of recipients may include:

Other Platform Users

When a user publishes content, contacts another member, submits an inquiry, or participates in platform communications.

Website Hosting and Technology Providers

Providers that support hosting, data storage, maintenance, security, backups, performance, and platform functionality.

Payment Processors

Providers responsible for processing memberships, subscriptions, or other supported payments.

AI and Customer Support Service Providers

Technology providers that process questions or communications to support chatbot functionality or customer service.

Communications and Analytics Providers

Legal and Regulatory Authorities

When disclosure is required by law, valid legal process, or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or security.

Business Transfers

In connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or transfer of business assets, subject to applicable confidentiality, notice, and legal requirements.

Our business model is not based on selling member contact lists to data brokers. Nevertheless, certain disclosures to advertising or analytics providers may legally qualify as a sale or sharing of personal information even when no money is exchanged.

We will provide applicable notices, choices, and opt-out rights when required by law.

12. Data Security

1Knowledge LLC recognizes the importance of protecting personal information.

We seek to use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information we process and the risks involved.

These may include access restrictions, account authentication, secure communication technologies, software maintenance, backups, and security monitoring, as appropriate to our systems.

No website, electronic communication, or data storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and promptly reporting suspected unauthorized account activity.

Security practices may evolve as our services and technical infrastructure develop.

13. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by applicable law.

Our retention decisions depend on the type of information and the reason for processing it.

Membership and Account Records

Generally retained while an account is active and afterward as reasonably necessary for account administration, disputes, legal compliance, or legitimate business purposes.

Public Listings and Member Content

Generally retained while published or otherwise needed for the relevant service, subject to deletion requests, account controls, moderation requirements, and legal obligations.

Messages and Customer Support Records

Retained as reasonably needed to operate communication features, address inquiries, investigate abuse, or resolve disputes.

Payment and Financial Administration Records

Retained as necessary to comply with applicable accounting, tax, contractual, and recordkeeping requirements.

Website Logs and Technical Data

Retained for periods reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting, performance, and system administration.

Backup Records

May remain temporarily in secured backups until the applicable backup retention and deletion processes are completed.

When information is no longer reasonably needed, we will take appropriate steps to delete it, anonymize it, or otherwise handle it according to applicable requirements.

Specific retention schedules may be updated as our operational systems and legal obligations change.

Residents of California and certain other U.S. states may have additional privacy rights when their respective privacy laws apply to 1Knowledge LLC.

The categories of personal information described in Section 3 may be collected directly from users, through platform activity and technical systems, or from service providers involved in account and payment administration.

Where legally required, eligible residents may request access, correction, deletion, or other available privacy choices.

When applicable law requires recognition of qualifying universal opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, we will honor those signals as required.

Information about any applicable sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or sensitive-information processing will be provided through the appropriate notices and privacy controls.

Users may contact us to request information about the rights available to them under applicable law.

16. International Visitors and Data Processing

Although 1Knowledge LLC operates from the United States, our websites may be accessible to visitors in other countries.

Personal information may be processed in the United States or in other countries where our authorized service providers operate.

When international privacy laws apply, we will identify an appropriate lawful basis for processing and meet applicable requirements concerning international data transfers.

Depending on the circumstances, lawful bases under applicable European or United Kingdom privacy law may include:

Performance of a contract
Compliance with a legal obligation
Legitimate interests that are not overridden by individual rights
Consent, where required

Individuals located in jurisdictions with additional privacy protections may have specific rights to object to processing, request information, or contact their relevant supervisory authority.

Additional country-specific privacy notices or safeguards may be introduced when required by our operations or applicable law.

17. Children’s Privacy

Our business platforms are intended for entrepreneurs, professionals, and other users participating in business-related activities.

They are not directed to children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13.

Some membership or transactional features may require users to be at least 18 years old, as provided in the applicable Terms of Use.

If we become aware that personal information was collected from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address or delete that information.

Parents or legal guardians may contact us with privacy concerns relating to minors.

18. Third-Party Websites and Independent Services

Our platforms may contain links to outside websites, service providers, educational resources, payment processors, social media services, and other independent organizations.

Those organizations may maintain their own privacy policies, terms, and data practices.

This Privacy Policy does not govern personal information independently collected or controlled by third parties outside our services.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of external websites before providing personal information.

The inclusion of these potential services does not mean they are currently available or that we currently collect information specifically for them.

Before introducing materially new data-processing activities, we will evaluate applicable privacy requirements, update relevant disclosures, and provide additional notices or obtain consent when required.

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect:
