Except as described above, we do not collect, store, process, or receive credit card numbers from our third-party payment processors or otherwise. This type of information may be collected by our Partners and subject to their privacy policies.

We collect this information directly from you when you provide it to us, automatically as you navigate through the Website, and from third parties such as our business partners.

In addition to the categories of information referenced above and explained in more detail below, we may also collect aggregated data or anonymized data that does not directly identify you.

Information You Provide to Us. The Website provides various places for users to provide information. We collect information that users provide by: filling out forms on the Website; subscribing to our newsletter; communicating with us via contact forms, text messages, emails, or other electronic messaging platforms including instant messaging; responding to surveys; submitting search queries on our search feature; providing comments or other feedback; and, providing information when ordering a product or service via the Website, including details of your transactions and the fulfillment of your orders.

Additionally, we may collect information that you provide through your participation in our courses, which may be transmitted to other users of the Website or third parties (collectively, “User Contributions”). Your User Contributions are posted and transmitted to others at your own risk. Although we use technological and organizational measures to secure your data, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Additionally, we cannot control the actions of other users of the Website with whom you may choose to share your User Contributions. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Contributions will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.

Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies. As you navigate through our Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies including Google Analytics to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns. This will generally include information about your location, your traffic pattern through our Website, and any communications between your computer and our Website. Among other things, we will collect data about the type of computer you use, your Internet connection, your IP address, your operating system, and your browser type.

We also use Google Analytics on our Website to collect usage data, to analyze how users use the Website, and to provide advertisements to you on other websites. This information is anonymous and does not include Personal Information. Please visit the following website for information about how you can opt out of having Google Analytics collect data from you when you are using the Website: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

The technologies we use for this automatically collected information may include those described in the “Use of Cookies and Pixels” section below.

Please note that our Website is not configured to accept and respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. As such, if you would like to exercise your privacy rights, we encourage you to do so by submitting a request using the methods described in the “Contact Us” section below.

Use of Cookies and Pixels. Similar to other commercial websites, our Website utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” and server logs to collect information about how our Website is used. Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our site, and the websites visited just before and just after our own, as well as your IP address, as explained in more detail below.

A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

We use both session cookies (which expire once you close your browser window) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until they expire or until you delete them) to provide you with more personal and interactive experiences on the Website. Persistent cookies can be removed by following the help directions for your internet browser. If you choose to disable all or most cookies, some areas of the Website may not function properly.

The Company reserves the right to use technological equivalents of cookies, including social media pixels. A pixel is a tiny, 1x1 image that is loaded when you visit our Website, but instead of calling up an image, it causes a cookie or application to be downloaded. These pixels allow social media sites to track visitors to outside websites so as to tailor advertising messages users see while visiting that social media website. The Company reserves the right to use these pixels in compliance with the policies of the various social media sites. As with cookies, our Website may utilize both session pixels and persistent pixels.

We also use cookies and tracking/marketing pixels for four general purposes: (a) to ensure the functionality, optimization, and ease of use of our Website; (b) to ensure and maintain the security of our Website; (c) to collect anonymous, statistical data regarding how visitors interact with the Website; and, (d) for marketing purposes.

The cookies that we use for functionality and security purposes are considered necessary cookies, without which the Website would not function properly. These cookies allow some of the basic functions of our Website to work properly, such as remembering your preferences as you navigate the Website. In addition, these cookies help us secure the Website by preventing cross-website request forgery attacks and by throttling excessive request rates.

We also use cookies to collect statistical information regarding how visitors interact with our Website and to track repeat visits to our Website. While these cookies collect information regarding how you use our Website in order to help us understand Website flow and improve the Website, all such statistical data is anonymous and does not personally identify you.

Finally, we use both cookies and pixels on our Website for marketing purposes, including: to check whether your browser supports the use of cookies, to deliver general advertisements from third party advertisers, to present targeted advertisements to particular Website visitors, to track the particular advertisements that have been displayed to you, to track your browser activity across devices and marketing channels, to track the actions you take after viewing an advertisement in order to measure the efficacy of the advertisement, and to display particular advertisements in order to re-engage visitors that are likely to convert to customers based on those visitors’ online behavior across websites.

You have the option to manage the cookies we use in connection with the Website through the cookie consent settings and preferences centers made available to you on the Website.

Third Party Use of Cookies. Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Website are served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our Website. The information they collect may be associated with your information or they may collect information, including Personal Information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.

We do not control these third parties' tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.

Email Information. If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address, other email account identifiers, and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received online, mail, and telephone. This also applies when you register for our Website, sign up through any of our forms using your email address, or make a purchase on this Website. For further information see the “Email Policies” section below.

Email Policies. We are committed to keeping your e-mail address confidential. We do not sell, rent, or lease our subscription lists to third parties, and will not disclose your email address to any third parties except as allowed in the section titled “Disclosure of Your Information.”

How We Protect Your Information and Secure Information Transmissions

We have put in place appropriate technological and organizational security methods to help prevent your Personal Information from being accidentally lost, used, altered, accessed, or disclosed in an unauthorized way. This includes using standard security protocols and working only with reputable third-party vendors. Any Personal Information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. For security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, the Company uses software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using secure socket layer (SSL) technology. In addition, we limit access to your Personal Information to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your Personal Information on our instructions and subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to the Website, or any portion thereof, using your username, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer or device so that others are not able to view or record your password or other Personal Information. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the information you hold for your username, password, or other information related to your account. You may be held liable for losses incurred by us as a result of your failing to keep your login information secure and confidential.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information when it is received by us, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information as it is transmitted to our Website. Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send private information to us by email. Credit Card information and other sensitive information is never transmitted by us via email. Any transmission of Personal Information, including by email, is at your own risk. We are not responsible for any circumvention of any privacy settings or security measured related to the Website.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it or to enable us to comply with our legal obligations or enforce our legal rights.

Generally, the length of time we keep your Personal Information will depend on the type of Personal Information and the purpose for which we are processing it. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

At the end of the retention period, we will either delete your Personal Information from our systems completely or anonymize, deidentify, or aggregate it so it can be used without identifying you and without the ability to be re-associated with you in the future, such as by aggregating the information.

You can contact us if you would like further information about our retention policy by using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.
