Privacy & Security Policy
The SGE Privacy Policy was updated on February 12, 2026.
Your privacy is important to StarGuard ELITE ("SGE"), so we've developed a Privacy Policy that covers how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your personal information. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and contact us if you have any questions.
Do Not Track
SGE does not track customers over time or across third‑party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Some third‑party sites may track your browsing activities when they serve content.
Third parties that provide embedded content—such as social features or analytics tools—may set cookies or obtain information that a browser visited an SGE website from a specific IP address. They cannot collect personally identifiable information unless you provide it directly.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Personal information is data that can identify or contact a single person. You may be asked to provide personal information when interacting with SGE or an affiliated training center. SGE and its affiliates may share this information and use it consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
We may collect information such as:
- Name
- Email address
- Employee number
- Address
- Contact preferences
- Device identifiers
- IP address
- Location information
- Payment information (in some cases)
How We Use Personal Information
We may process your information:
- With your consent
- To comply with legal obligations
- When necessary for SGE’s legitimate interests
We use personal information to:
- Provide updates, announcements, and event information
- Improve products, services, and content
- Prevent fraud and protect account security
- Verify identity and determine eligibility
- Send important notices related to certifications, licenses, and account issues
- Conduct auditing, data analysis, and research
Certain essential notices cannot be opted out of.
Consent and User Choice
SGE ensures individuals can make informed, freely given choices about how their information is used. We:
- Explain when consent is required and how it is collected
- Provide simple methods to withdraw consent
- Avoid manipulative or deceptive design practices (“dark patterns”)
These practices supplement existing opt‑out options, including marketing email preferences.
Automated Decision‑Making and AI‑Assisted Processing
SGE does not make decisions using algorithms or profiling that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
AI‑assisted tools may support internal operations such as fraud detection, identity verification, or data analysis. These tools do not independently determine outcomes. Human review is always involved in decisions affecting rights, access, or services. SGE evaluates AI tools for fairness, accuracy, and relevance.
Collection and Use of Non‑Personal Information
SGE collects non‑personal data such as occupation, language, zip code, device identifiers, referrer URLs, and time zones. We also collect aggregated information about customer activities on our websites, the SGE Portal, and at trade shows.
If non‑personal information is combined with personal information, it is treated as personal information.
Cookies and Other Technologies
SGE websites and services may use cookies, pixel tags, and web beacons to understand user behavior, measure advertising effectiveness, and personalize experiences.
Disabling cookies may limit functionality. The SGE Portal will not function properly without cookies or JavaScript.
Disclosure to Third Parties
SGE may share personal information with strategic partners who help provide or improve products and services. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Service Providers
We share personal information with companies that manage customer data, provide customer service, assess product interest, or conduct research. These companies are obligated to protect your information.
Vendor and Processor Oversight
SGE maintains strong oversight of service providers by:
- Conducting due‑diligence reviews
- Requiring contractual safeguards
- Monitoring vendor compliance
- Ensuring vendors process data only according to SGE’s instructions
Other Disclosures
SGE may disclose personal information when required by law or when necessary to protect users, operations, or public interests.
International Data Transfers
SGE stores personal information on secure systems, including Amazon Web Services. Personal information may be transferred to countries where SGE or its service providers operate.
When data is transferred internationally, SGE uses legally recognized safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions to ensure consistent protection.
Protection of Personal Information
SGE protects personal information during transit using encryption such as TLS and stores it on systems with limited access. Information shared publicly on SGE services may be visible to other users.
Integrity and Retention of Personal Information
SGE retains personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Some information must be kept indefinitely due to certifications, licenses, or operational history.
Your Privacy Rights
You may access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information unless SGE is required to retain it for legal or business purposes.
In addition, SGE recognizes the following rights:
- Data Portability
- Right to Object to Processing
- Right to Restrict Processing
- Timely responses consistent with applicable law
Children & Education
Children under 13 (or local minimum age) may not create SGE Portal accounts without verifiable parental consent. Parents may request access, correction, or deletion of a child’s account.
Location‑Based Services
SGE and partners may collect precise location data to provide location‑based services. Some features require personal information to function.
Third‑Party Sites and Services
SGE products may link to third‑party websites or services. Information collected by third parties is governed by their privacy practices.
