1. What information does Company collect from me?

The amount and type of information we gather depends upon your use of the Website and, in some cases, what type of information you choose to disclose.  We may collect the following information from you:

Personal Information

We collect information from you when you voluntarily register with Company and/or submit your personal information to us over the Website. Such personal information may include your name, email and postal addresses, phone number, Products purchased, educational and training materials and information requested, any customer identification number assigned to you by our payment processor, and other information which you voluntarily provide to us.

Information You Make Public

The Website may contain features that allow you to upload, post, transmit, display, perform or distribute content, including personal information about yourself. For example, you may choose to include personal information within a public-facing review of one of our Products.  Any information that you choose to disclose by means of such features becomes public information over which Company is unable to exercise control.  You should take caution when deciding to disclose personal information by means of such features.

Device/Internet Connection Information

When you use the Website, we automatically gather information made available by your web browser (such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome), Internet service provider (such as Comcast or Time Warner), and device (such as your computer, phone, or tablet), depending on your settings for each.  For example, we may collect your IP address, information about the operating system or type of device you use, the date and time you access the Website, your log in attempts, and the location of your device.

Information Provided by Third Parties

Company may receive information about you and your Internet activities if you have provided it to a Third-Party and we subsequently acquire the information from the Third-Party. For example, if you request information from a Third-Party regarding one of Company’s training courses, said Third-Party may pass the information on to us so we may contact you.

Payment Information

All payments are processed by third-party vendors, including PayPal Shopify Payment, and not Company itself. If you make a purchase on the Website, credit card numbers and related information, such as billing address, card number, and the expiration date of the card (“Credit Card Information”) is collected from you, but such information is sent directly from you to our payment processors through embeddable widgets and is never stored or otherwise retained by Company.

Other Information

From time to time, we may obtain other information from you, such as when you make a claim for a prize pursuant to a contest or other promotion run on the Website, when you request assistance through our customer service department, and when you voluntarily subscribe to a Company service or newsletter. You will always be asked to provide such other information voluntarily, and we will not collect it without your permission.
