Any such information is provided voluntarily by you, and you are responsible for the information you submit. You should avoid sharing sensitive or unnecessary personal information about any individual, including children.

We may collect domain information, your numerical IP address, the type of browser you use, which pages you view, and the files you request. We may also use “cookies” (small files saved on your hard drive by your web browser) to analyze website and advertisement performance, track user patterns, save information from your previous visits, and customize your experience. We will ask for your consent to allow us to use cookies.

We may also use the technological equivalents of cookies to collect information, such as social media pixels. These pixels allow social media platforms to track visitors to our website and tailor the advertising messages you see while using those social media platforms. We may use these pixels in compliance with the respective policies of the various social media providers. 

We, or our third-party vendors, may collect non-personal information through the use of these technologies. Nonpersonal information might include the browser you use, the type of computer you use, and technical information about your means of connection to this website, such as the operating systems and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information. Our systems may also automatically gather information about the areas of our website that you visit, the search terms you use on this website, and the links you select from within this website to connect with other areas of the Internet.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union and we are responsible as controller of that personal information for the purposes of those laws. 

If you are located in the United Kingdom (“UK”), we are regulated under UK data regulations known as “UK GDPR.” 

b. Information Collected from Other Sources

We may also obtain information such as your name, email, social media handle, address, phone number, and/or billing information from other sources, such as Stripe, Calendly, Kajabi, or other sources.

c. How and Why We Use Your Personal Information

d. Who We Share Your Personal Information With

We respect your privacy and will never sell your personally identifiable information to third parties without your consent.

We may share your personal data with third parties (for example - service providers, suppliers, and credit card processors) to fulfill the uses identified above, including delivering products and services. Before you participate in any contest, special offer or promotion, we may request your permission to share your personal information with third parties engaged to assist with the contest, special offer or promotion. If you give us permission, we may also share your personal information with third parties for marketing and advertising purposes.

We reserve the right to transfer your personal information if we merge with or are acquired by a third party. We may release personal information as necessary to enforce our terms and policies, operate and manage our business, protect our rights or the rights and safety of others, or to otherwise comply with applicable laws, regulations or legal obligations.

Third-party recipients may be based outside the European Economic Area or the UK. For further information, including how we safeguard your personal data when this occurs, see Transfer of your information out of the EEA, UK below.

We will not otherwise share your personal information with any third party without your consent.

e. Whether Information Has to Be Provided by You and Why

In some instances, you may be required to provide personal data. For example, we may need your name and email address to provide customer support, or your street address to deliver a product, or billing information to complete a purchase. We will inform you when we collect it whether you are required to provide the information to us.

f. How Long Your Personal Information Will Be Kept

We will hold all client and customer personal data in our files for six years. We will hold all non-client personal data until you let us know you would like for us to delete it or unsubscribe from our marketing contacts, which you are free to do at any time.

This website is operated in the United States and third parties with whom we might share your personal information as explained above are also located in the United States.  If you are located in the EEA, the UK, or elsewhere outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide will be transferred to the United States. By using this website, participating in any of our services and/or providing your information, you consent to this transfer.

Other countries do not have the same data protection laws as the EEA or UK. While the European Commission has not given a formal decision that these countries provide an adequate level of data protection similar to those which apply in the EEA, any transfer of your personal information will be subject to the derogation under Article 49 of the General Data Protection Regulation. This provision allows non-repetitive transfers concerning a limited number of data subjects and is designed to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of misuse of your personal information.

If you would like further information, see “How to Contact Us” below.  Except as described above, we will not transfer your personal data outside of the EEA or UK, or to any organization (or subordinate bodies) governed by public international law or which is set up under any agreement between two or more countries.
