Empowerment Privacy Notice
Version 1 · Effective October 11, 2026
In short: We collect what you enter in Empowerment so we can give you business ideas, a launch plan and planning tools. Only you can see your answers, plan, budget, prices, leads and chats. We don't sell your data or use it for advertising. When you use the AI features, we send the relevant parts of your plan, never your name, email, town or your leads' details, to write the text. You can download or delete your Empowerment data at any time from "My data". This summary is here to help you read the notice; the full notice below is what applies.
1. Who we are
Empowerment is provided by The Walch Company ("Skill Resilience," "we" or "us"), which operates skillresilience.com. This notice covers the Empowerment pages and tools. The rest of skillresilience.com is covered by the Skill Resilience privacy policy at https://skillresilience.com/Privacy.
2. What we collect
Account details: your name and email address, from your Skill Resilience account or Google sign-in.
Your answers: the business types that interest you, your state and city or town, your start-up budget, the hours you can give, whether it's a side business, where you're starting from, when you'd like to start, where you could work, and your experience.
What you create: your business recommendations, plan progress and task notes, budget amounts, price calculations, your offer, saved messages and the questions you prepare for a professional.
Leads you add: the names, contact details and notes you enter about people interested in your business.
Assistant chats: the questions you ask and the answers you receive.
Activity counts: which steps you complete, such as starting onboarding or saving a budget. These records never include your answers, amounts, messages or leads.
Technical information: our platform uses cookies and similar technology to keep you signed in and to keep the service working. The rest of skillresilience.com uses Microsoft Clarity, an analytics tool. If you arrive at Empowerment from another Skill Resilience page, Clarity may record how you scroll and click on Empowerment pages, but all Empowerment content, including your answers, plan, prices, leads and chats, is masked and never sent to Clarity.
We don't ask for Social Security numbers, bank or card numbers, or information about children. Please don't enter them.
3. How we use it
We use your information to provide Empowerment to you (your recommendations, plan and tools), to write the AI text you ask for, to keep the service secure, to count anonymously how many people reach each step so we can improve Empowerment, to reply when you contact us, and to comply with the law. We don't sell your information, and we don't use it for targeted advertising.
4. AI features
When you use idea explanations, outreach drafts or the assistant, we send the facts needed for that request (such as your business idea, your answers about time and experience, your plan steps, your budget totals and your final prices) to an AI model provider through our app platform, to write the text. We never send your name, email address, town, or your leads' names, contact details or notes. The AI provider receives these facts only to generate the response. We don't use your information to train AI models, and we don't send it to advertising networks.
5. Who can see your information
You. Your answers, plan, budget, prices, leads, messages and chats are visible only to you through your account.
Our team. People who manage Empowerment content see only counts, never your answers, plan, leads or chats. A small number of people who run the platform may access stored data only when needed to keep it working, investigate a problem or comply with the law.
Service providers who help us run Empowerment: Base44, which hosts the app and stores the data; AI model providers, for the AI features described above; and Google, if you sign in with Google. They may use your information only to provide their services to us.
Legal reasons. We may disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the rights, safety or property of our users, the public or us.
Business changes. If Skill Resilience is merged or sold, your information may transfer to the new owner under this notice.
6. Information about other people
If you add someone to your lead list, you're responsible for having their permission to contact them. We use their details only to show them back to you, and they are deleted when you delete your Empowerment data.
7. How long we keep it
We keep your Empowerment information until you delete it or ask us to. Deleted information may remain in our platform's backups for a short period before it is permanently removed.
8. Your choices and rights
See and copy your data: "Download my data" on the My data page.
Correct it: change your answers at any time with "Change my answers", and edit your plan, budget, prices and leads directly.
Delete it: "Delete my Empowerment data" on the My data page. This does not delete your Skill Resilience account.
Ask us: email sales@ewalch.com with any question or request about your information. We will reply within 30 days.
9. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your information, and each person's Empowerment records are restricted to that person. No system is completely secure. If a security breach affects your information, we will notify you and the authorities as the law requires.
10. Age
Empowerment is for adults aged 18 and over and is not directed to children. If we learn that we have information from someone under 18, we will delete it.
11. Where your information is stored
Your information is stored and processed in the United States by Base44, our platform provider.
12. Changes to this notice
If we change this notice in a way that affects how we use your information, we will show you the new version before it takes effect. The version number and effective date at the top show which version applies.
