For example, you may voluntarily submit information to the Website by leaving a comment, subscribing to a newsletter, requesting a download, or submitting a contact form.

We may use the information collected in the following ways:

  • To operate and maintain the Website;
  • To create your user profile if you join the 12-month intensive program and to identify you as a user of the Website
  • To send you promotional information, such as newsletters. Each email promotion will provide information on how to opt-out of future mailings;

Third-party use of your information

We may share your information with third parties when you explicitly authorize us to share your information.
Additionally, the Website may use third-party service providers to service various aspects of the Website. Each third-party service provider’s use of your personal information is dictated by their respective privacy policies.
The Website currently uses the following third-party service providers:

Amazon AWS – this service is used for delivery of email updates and newsletters.  However, no contact information is stored by Amazon AWS. We store your name and email address within our own hosted database for purposes of delivering email communications only.

PayPal – this service is used to manage payments to our paid programs.  We do not store any information that PayPal requires.  Please refer to the PayPal privacy policy for further information.

Google Analytics – this service is used to collect website usage data, as described under Automatically-Collected Information.  Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage.

At this time, your personal information is not shared with any other third-party applications. This list may be amended from time to time in the Website’s sole discretion.

Except when required by law, we will not sell, distribute, or reveal your email addresses or other personal information without your consent; however, we may disclose or transfer personal information collected through the Website to third parties who acquire all or a portion of our business, which may be the result of a merger, consolidation, or purchase of all or a portion of our assets, or in connection with any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding brought by or against us.

Security

Security is serious and we are committed to protecting your personal information. Some of the security measures we use include: Firewalls that protect against unauthorised access to your data and our network; secure work environments and workflow systems that prevent unauthorised access and copying of your personal information;  virus scanning tools; management of access privileges, to ensure that only those who really need it can see your personal information.

These measures are robust, but security risks do change. We will remain vigilant in our efforts to protect your personal information.

Newsletter

On the Website, you may subscribe to our newsletter, which may be used for advertising purposes. All newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and allows an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Because of these tracking pixels, we may see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. Also, this allows the Website to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user. This behavior will not be passed on to third parties.
