Larry G. Maguire T/A GenAI Skills Academy
Last updated: 20 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how MyBusiness GenAI Skills Academy ("we", "our" or "us") collects, uses and shares your information when you visit https://learn.genaiskills.io (the "Site") and use the courses, workshops, content and related services we offer (together with the Site, the "Services").
We collect information about you from a few places: when you register or book with us, when you use the Services, and from third parties such as our service providers. Any defined terms not explained here carry the meaning given to them in our Terms of Service at https://learn.genaiskills.io/terms.
We are based in Ireland and act as the data controller of the personal data we collect through the Services. That means we decide why and how your data is processed, and we are responsible for it under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018. If you have any questions about this policy, email us at larry@genaiskills.io.
This policy covers how we handle "personal data" — any information that identifies you or could be used to identify you — when you access and use the Services. "Processing" covers anything we do with that data, including collecting, using, storing and sharing it.
It does not cover websites, tools or services run by other companies that we don't own or control ("Third Parties"). We pick partners who take privacy seriously, but we can't take responsibility for what they do with your data once you're dealing with them directly. Read their privacy policies before you share anything.
Where we handle personal data on behalf of a client (for example, if a company hires us to train its staff and gives us employee contact details), we act as a processor rather than a controller. In that case, contact the organisation that gave us your details first if you want to exercise your rights over that data.
When you book a course, sign up for our newsletter, fill in a form or contact us, you may give us:
First and last name
Email address
Phone number
Company or job title (where relevant to training)
Billing details and country of residence
Anything you choose to include in messages, forms or course submissions
If you give us someone else's details (for example, booking a workshop place for a colleague), you confirm you have the right to do so. We treat that information under this policy and our Terms of Service, and we rely on you to have told the other person.
We use Stripe as our third-party payment processor to take payments. Your card details go directly to Stripe and are stored by Stripe, not by us. We only receive confirmation that a payment succeeded plus limited details such as the amount and date. You can read Stripe's terms and privacy policy at https://stripe.com/legal and https://stripe.com/privacy.
Login and social services. If you sign in or interact through a third-party service (for example, signing up with a Google or social account), that service may pass us information from your public profile, depending on your settings with them.
Marketing and analytics providers. Providers who help us run and measure our marketing tell us how you found us and how you interact with our ads and Site.
When you use the Site, we collect some data automatically:
IP address and rough location
Device identifiers and browser information
Pages viewed, time spent, links clicked
Referring pages and browsing activity on the Site
Transaction details (amount, date, time)
Cookies and similar technologies (see below)
Log data such as access times and software information
We use cookies and similar technologies (pixels, web beacons, JavaScript) to recognise your browser, understand how you use the Site, and improve our Services. Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit.
Some cookies last only for your visit ("session cookies"); others stay on your device afterwards ("persistent cookies") so we can remember your preferences and measure how people use the Site over time.
We use:
Essential cookies that make the Site work, such as letting you log in to secure areas. Turning these off may break parts of the Site.
Functional cookies that remember your choices, such as your language or region.
Performance and analytics cookies that show us how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. For example, we use Google Analytics; you can read how Google handles this data and opt out at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
Advertising cookies that help us show ads relevant to you and measure how our ads perform.
You control cookies through your browser settings, where you can block or delete them. Note that blocking some cookies may stop parts of the Site working. To learn more about managing cookies, see https://www.allaboutcookies.org/.
Because we collect browsing and identifier data, we are not currently able to honour browser "Do Not Track" signals.
If you are in the EU, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies through the banner shown when you first visit the Site.
We process personal data to run, improve and personalise the Services. Specifically, we use it to:
Deliver the courses, workshops and content you've booked
Take and process payments, and issue receipts
Communicate with you about your bookings and our Services
Send you updates, offers and newsletters (where you've asked for them or where we're allowed to)
Provide support when you contact us
Personalise what you see on the Site and in our communications
Understand how people use the Services so we can improve them
Protect against fraud, security threats and misuse
Meet our legal obligations and resolve disputes
Enforce our Terms of Service
Under the GDPR, we only process your data where we have a lawful basis. The bases we rely on are:
Contractual necessity — we need this data to deliver the Services you've signed up for. Without it, we can't provide some or all of the Services:
First and last name
Email address
Billing details and country of residence
Anything you submit as part of a course
Legitimate interests — we process some data because it serves a genuine business interest that doesn't override your rights:
Protecting against fraud and security threats
Running and improving our business and Services
Marketing our courses to you and to people like you
Providing customer support
Handling business transactions such as a sale or merger
Consent — for some things, such as certain marketing emails or non-essential cookies, we ask for your consent first. You can withdraw it at any time.
Legal obligation — sometimes we have to process data to comply with the law, such as keeping financial records for tax purposes.
We share data with service providers who work on our behalf, including:
Payment processors
Hosting and IT providers
Analytics providers
Email and marketing platforms
Customer support tools
Professional advisers (accountants, lawyers) where needed
We also share data where it's needed to complete something you've asked us to do, or where the law requires it — for example, responding to a valid request from a court, regulator or law enforcement, or protecting our rights, our users or the public from fraud and abuse.
If our business is ever sold, merged or transferred, your data may pass to the new owner, who would continue to handle it under a policy consistent with this one. We'll tell you if that happens.
We don't sell your personal data.
We're based in Ireland, but some of our service providers (such as payment, analytics and email tools) are based in the United States or elsewhere outside the European Economic Area. When we send your data to them, we make sure it's protected — either because the country has an adequacy decision from the European Commission, or through Standard Contractual Clauses or another approved safeguard. Contact us at larry@genaiskills.io if you'd like details of the safeguards we use.
We keep your data for as long as you have an active relationship with us, and afterwards where we need it to meet legal obligations (such as tax and accounting rules), resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. When we no longer need it in an identifiable form, we delete it or keep it only in aggregated, anonymised form.
We use technical and organisational measures appropriate to the data we hold to keep it safe. You also play a part: choose a strong password, keep it private, and sign out when you're finished, especially on shared devices.
No system is completely secure, and we can't guarantee that your data will never be accessed without authorisation, but we work to reduce that risk.
We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you're under 16, please don't register or send us your details. If we find we've collected data from a child under 16, we'll delete it. If you think a child under 16 has given us their data, email us at larry@genaiskills.io.
You have the following rights over your personal data. To use any of them, email us at larry@genaiskills.io. We'll respond as required by law. In some cases we may need to verify your identity first, and occasionally we may not be able to act fully on a request (for example, if it conflicts with someone else's rights or the law requires us to keep the data) — we'll always explain why.
Access — ask what data we hold about you and get a copy.
Rectification — ask us to correct data that's wrong or incomplete.
Erasure — ask us to delete your data.
Withdraw consent — where we rely on your consent, take it back at any time.
Portability — ask for a copy of your data in a machine-readable format, or ask us to send it to another provider where that's technically possible.
Objection — object to us using your data for certain purposes, such as direct marketing.
Restriction — ask us to pause our use of your data.
Complaint — lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Ireland that's the Data Protection Commission (www.dataprotection.ie). You can also complain to the authority in your own EU country.

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll post any changes on the Site, and where the change is significant we'll email you. Your continued use of the Services after we post a change means you accept the updated policy.
