Privacy Policy
The Swedish Institute of Inner Technology respects your privacy.
Information We May Collect
Depending on how the site is configured, Institute of Inner Technology may collect several categories of information.
First, we may collect information you intentionally provide. This may include your name, email address, organization, role, message content, areas of interest, collaboration inquiry details, event registration information, or research download preferences. You provide this information when you subscribe, contact the Institute, request a document, submit an inquiry, or otherwise choose to communicate with us.
Second, we may collect basic technical information. This may include IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, approximate location, pages viewed, and standard website analytics data. This helps us understand whether the site is accessible, useful, and functioning as intended.
Third, we may collect communication records. If you correspond with the Institute, we may retain the content of that exchange, including contact form submissions, email conversations, partnership notes, or scheduling-related information. These records help us respond thoughtfully, preserve context, and manage institutional relationships responsibly.
Fourth, if the site uses cookies or similar technologies, those tools may collect limited information about preferences, analytics, or site performance. More detail should be provided in the Cookie Policy.
How We Use Information
Information may be used to operate and improve the website, publish and distribute research, respond to inquiries, manage subscriptions, send occasional updates, understand reader interests, support collaboration conversations, protect the site from misuse, and meet administrative or legal obligations.
We do not use personal information to make clinical assessments, provide therapy, diagnose conditions, or infer private psychological states. The Institute is not a therapy service, a medical provider, an AI companion platform, or a consumer wellness application. Its work is educational, research-oriented, editorial, institutional, and strategic.
Sharing Information
We may share information with trusted service providers who help operate the website, manage email subscriptions, process forms, host content, provide analytics, protect security, schedule meetings, or support administrative functions. These providers should be expected to use information only for the services they provide and in accordance with appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations.
The Institute may also share information if required by law, legal process, security necessity, or protection of rights. If the Institute enters into a formal collaboration with another organization, information may be shared where necessary to manage that collaboration and where doing so is appropriate, transparent, and proportionate.
The Institute should not sell personal information. It should not trade the trust of readers for short-term growth metrics. It should not use intimate or institutional inquiry data for unrelated commercial profiling.
Data Retention
Information should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
Newsletter information may be retained until a person unsubscribes or asks to be removed. Collaboration records may be retained as long as they remain relevant to institutional relationships. Analytics may be retained in aggregated or limited form to understand site performance. Legal or administrative records may need to be retained for compliance, accounting, or governance reasons.
The Institute should periodically review stored information and remove what is no longer needed. A privacy posture becomes more trustworthy when it is disciplined over time, not only written well at launch.
Your Choices
Visitors and subscribers should have meaningful choices. You may unsubscribe from Institute communications by using the unsubscribe link in an email or contacting the Institute directly. You may request access to personal information associated with you, ask for correction, ask for deletion where legally available, or ask questions about how your information is used.
Depending on your location, you may have additional legal rights under privacy or data protection laws, including rights to know, access, correct, delete, object, limit certain uses, or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Because the Institute may serve an international audience, this section should be reviewed by counsel to reflect the rights and obligations that apply.
