1. Information We Collect
A. Personally Identifiable Information
Voluntary submissions of personally identifiable information can occur for various reasons, such as if you request to receive information about our services, if you subscribe to one of our mailing lists, when you place an order with us, when you communicate with us, when you provide feedback through one of our surveys, when you register or create an account at one of our web sites, or when you visit one of our web sites. If you subscribe to one of our mailing lists, we generally collect your name, email address, and optionally your telephone or other information if you provide it to us so we can customize your experience and better serve your needs.
In order to serve our customers, we collect personally identifiable information, like names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, personal preferences, demographic information when provided by you (like language, gender, age), and sometimes credit card information and related billing information when such information is voluntarily submitted by our visitors. Most of your customer information is stored in two third party Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) systems that we use, and not directly on our servers. Your credit card information is not stored by us, and is instead processed directly through our multiple payment processing vendors depending on which payment method is used.
If you visit this site with an open ID (such as Facebook), you may also be sharing and integrating data with third-party social media sites, and we may track personally identifiable information about you that is shared with us by that third-party site according to their policies (such as your name and email), as well as aggregate data about the number of visits to this site with an open ID, the number of items “liked” on this site, or items on this site that you choose to share with a third-party social media site.
We may also obtain additional personally identifiable data about you from third-party databases and combine it with the data we have on file for you, such as to add or verify missing or incomplete information in our databases or to add additional demographic details about you to help us identify which of our products and services might be most applicable to you.
We will only use your personal information for the following purposes: (1) to deliver the products from us (and when applicable, from third parties who offered you a special offer through us that you signed up to receive); (2) to validate your compliance with the terms and conditions; (3) for content improvement and feedback purposes; (4) to reach you, when necessary, regarding your use of the web site or product(s); (5) to offer you product upgrades, services, and other training courses that may be of interest to you; (6) facilitating your participation in our groups and programs; (7) providing you with newsletters, updates, targeted advertising, and special offers; and (8) for the few situations described below to better serve you.
We may also disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with law or legal process or if requested by duly authorized public authorities; (b) comply with the order of a competent judicial authority in any jurisdiction; (c) comply with legal process served on Us; (d) protect and defend the rights or property of us, or our affiliated companies, their employees and agents; (e) enforce our terms of use; (f) protect against fraud or other illegal activity or for risk management purposes; (g) permit Us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain; (g) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of our customers and/or users or the public at large.
Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not share your personally identifiable information with third parties unless you have given us explicit permission to do so, such as in order to fulfill a third party offer that you have accepted from us. By permitting us to collect this information, you will be able to receive information on other products and services that may be of interest to you, including related third party offers that we may send to you. You also enable us to personalize your experience with us so that we can provide you with the highest quality of service. We may also use this information to contact you about joint venture opportunities if it appears that you would be a suitable joint venture partner. If we should ever file for bankruptcy, or become insolvent, or be acquired by a third party, or merge with a third party, or sell all or part of its assets, or transfer substantially all or part of its relevant assets to a third party, then we are entitled to share the personal information and all other information you have provided through the products and services to potential and subsequent business and merger partners.
By submitting your email address on this web site, you agree to receive email from us (and when applicable, from the third party you also agreed to receive the special offer from). You can cancel your participation in any of these email lists at any time by clicking the opt-out link or other unsubscribe option that is included in the respective email. You can customize your email and other preferences (such as the lists you are subscribed to) by following the instructions contained in the Section entitled “Updating, Removing, Or Exporting Your Personal Information”. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to contact them, either directly, or through a third party.
By submitting your email address, you also agree to allow us to use your email address for custom audience targeting on sites like Facebook, where we display custom advertising to specific people who have opted-in to receive communications from us.
If you wish to stop seeing ads from us on Facebook, you can turn off the ad by using the following steps:
i. From within Facebook, go to the advertisement you want to turn off.
ii. Click on the drop-down arrow in the top corner of the ad (that may be in the top right corner or top left corner).
iii. Click on "Hide ad".
You can also customize the ads you see in Facebook across all advertisers by using the following steps:
i. Log in to your Facebook account and click “settings”.
ii. Click on “Ads”.
iii. On that page you will see a list of options you can choose to limit and/or block the information Facebook shows to advertisers.
If you wish to stop seeing ads from us in Google Ads, you can turn off the ad by using the following steps:
i. Go to the advertisement you want to turn off.
ii. Click on the x in the top left corner.
iii. Click on "Stop seeing this ad".
Other ad platforms we may use in the future have similar ways you can turn off any ad from us to stop seeing it.
In addition, you agree that by submitting your land line telephone or mobile telephone contact information on this web site and/or registering to receive the product and/or service offered herein, such act constitutes a purchase, an inquiry, and/or an application for the purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule (ATSR), 16 CFR ‘310 et seq. and any applicable state and local “do not call” regulations. We retain the right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the ATSR and the applicable state regulations.
By either filling out our contact form in order to use the Services or making a purchase from us, you also give us express written consent to contact you by phone (mobile or land line), or e-mail, or text messages to (i) provide notices regarding your account or account activity, (ii) investigate or prevent fraud, or (iii) collect a debt owed to us. You agree that we may contact you using autodialed or prerecorded message calls and text messages to carry out the purposes we have identified above. We will not use autodialed or prerecorded message calls or texts to contact you for marketing purposes at the telephone number(s) you designate unless we receive your prior express written consent. You do not have to consent to receive autodialed or prerecorded message calls or texts in order to use the Services. We will not share your phone number(s) with third parties for their own purposes without your consent unless you have given us explicit permission to do so, such as in order to fulfill a third party offer that you have accepted from us. Standard telephone minute and text charges may apply. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTACT YOU EVEN IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY REGISTERED YOUR PHONE WITH A FEDERAL OR STATE “DO NOT CALL” REGISTRY. You have the right to withdraw your consent and may opt-out of receiving phone calls by contacting us in any of the methods listed in the “Contact” section of the Website. In addition, you may opt-out of e-mails by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any e-mail we send to you, and may opt-out of text messages by replying “STOP” to text messages you receive from us or by contacting us using the contact information below. When we receive your request, we will take reasonable steps to remove your name from our distribution lists. You need to understand it may take a period of time to remove your name from our lists after your request due to technology and other limitations, and therefore you may still receive materials for a period of time after you opt out. If you opt-out and then re-enable any of these services, you will be deemed to have again given us your express written consent to contact you via any services you re-enable.
If you are accessing this web site from Canada, our collection and use of your personal information and how it is collected is governed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (or PIPEDA).
We also comply with the Canada Anti-Spam Laws (CASL) and do not send commercial electronic messages to Canadian individuals unless such individuals have “opted-in” to receive commercial electronic messages.
B. Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We also may collect various types of non-personally identifiable information to help us make your experience more enjoyable, measure site activity to identify future improvements that should be made, and compile aggregate data to help serve site visitors better.
For example, we may use session and persistent “cookies,” session logs, web beacons, GIF/pixel tags, banner ads, third-party click tracking analytics tools (such as Google Analytics), third party retargeting networks that may display our advertisements to you on other sites that you visit to remind you about us, and third party networks that serve user-requested emails (e.g., for a refer-a-friend email) to collect non-personally identifiable or other aggregated information about site visitors.
Cookies are text files that are used by your computer’s web browser to store your preferences, and enable us to enhance your user experience with our web site. Third party retargeting networks may also use cookies to display our advertisements to you on other sites. You can learn more about how to opt-out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Please note that you do have the option to configure most web browsers to NOT accept cookies. However, be aware that disabling cookies may keep you from having access to some functions or services on our web site or the web-hosted software that runs on our web site.
Emails or newsletters that we send electronically may use techniques such as web beacons or pixel tags to gather email metrics and information to improve the reader’s experience, such as the number of emails that are opened, whether they were forwarded or printed, the type of device from which they were opened, and the location (e.g. city, state, and county) associated with the applicable IP address.
As noted above, if you visit this site with an open ID (such as Facebook), you may also be sharing and integrating data with third-party social media sites, and we may also track aggregate data about the number of visits to this site with an open ID, the number of items “liked” on this site, or items on this site that you choose to share with a third-party social media site.
Other parties such as advertising partners and analytics companies may also be collecting information about your online activity across various websites over time. The information collected by those third parties may include identifiers that allow those third parties to tailor the ads that they serve to your computer or other device.
Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret web browser-based “Do Not Track” signals other than cookies, we do not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals that are undefined. We are waiting for the online industry to develop a common protocol for how to treat DNT signals. In the meantime, you can use the range of other tools we provide to control data collection and use, including those described herein.
2. Third Party Actions
We do not control and are not liable for the actions of any third parties who we may promote and/or link to from this site. We pride ourselves in recommending quality companies, but have no control over the actions of those third parties, the content they provide, or their privacy practices. While we are not liable for any of the actions of those third parties, you should feel free to give us feedback from time to time on your experiences with any third parties to whom we work with so that we may enhance our future service to all customers.
Please note that some of these third parties may be an affiliate of ours where we will receive a commission if you purchase from that third party using the specific affiliate link that we provided to you in our web site, in our emails, or in our programs. While we may receive a commission if you purchase from that third party, we are not liable for their operations or their actions, and you should address any issues directly with them.
3. Children’s Privacy
We take Children’s Privacy very seriously. Due to the age restrictions of this web site, none of the information obtained by this web site falls within the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and we do not knowingly intend to collect personally identifiable information from children under 18 years of age. If your minor child has provided us with personally identifiable information, you may contact us at the phone number or mailing address listed in the section entitled “Contacting Us” if you want this information deleted from our records. We will then make reasonable efforts to remove your child’s information from the database that stores the information.
4. IP Addresses
We may use your IP address to help prevent fraud, to help diagnose problems with our server, to gather broad demographic information, and to offer you products and services.
5. Commitment to Data Security
All information collected from you is stored in a technically and physically secure environment. Furthermore, employees, contractors, and vendors who have access to your personally identifiable information in connection with providing services for us are required to keep the information confidential.
We use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, and we make reasonable efforts to protect user information offline. Unfortunately, no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of the information that you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Please ensure that you take all necessary precautions to protect your personal information while online.
6. Updating, Removing, or Exporting your Personal Information
If you are a subscriber to one of our mailing lists, you can customize your information and the mailing lists you have subscribed to at any time by simply clicking the unsubscribe / manage preferences link at the bottom of any email you receive from us. That will take you to a preferences center where you can update your information and communication preferences.
If you have questions about the use, amendment, or deletion of Personal Information that you have provided to Us, or if you would like to opt out of future communications from us, please contact us using the information below in the Contacting Us section.
In certain jurisdictions and circumstances, you may also have the legal right to request details about how we collect information, how your information is used, and any third parties with whom your data has been shared. If you wish to request such information, please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “Data Usage Request” and explain in the body of the email the details of your request. To protect user privacy, you must send such a request from the account information we have on file or the request will not be honored. We reserve the right, but are not required, to request additional account verification if your request seems suspicious or like it may not have been authorized by you.
Depending on where you reside, you may also have the right to exercise additional rights available to you under applicable laws regarding personal information we store about you.
If you are in a jurisdiction that grants you the right to be forgotten, and you wish to request that we forget you from our database, please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “Forget Me” and explain in the body of the email that you are asking to have your personal data deleted. To protect user privacy, you must send such a request from the account information we have on file or the request will not be honored. We reserve the right to retain any data that we are required to maintain under applicable laws. Some data will be anonymized rather than deleted; this means that some of the data will be held in a form that cannot be connected to you personally. Please be aware that once we delete your data, we will be unable to “undelete” it.
If you are in a jurisdiction that grants you the right to export you data and you wish to request that we export your data, such as for purposes of porting it to another vendor, please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “Export My Data” and explain in the body of the email that you are asking for a data export. We have a standard data export format that we will provide and are not able to create custom exports. To protect user privacy, you must send such a request from the account information we have on file or the request will not be honored.
Depending on the jurisdiction where you reside, you may also have the right to restrict how we use your personal data. For example, you may have the right to object to us using your personal data for direct marketing purposes, and may have the right to request that we stop processing your personal information and/or stop sending you marketing communications. You may also have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information, such as where you believe the personal information that we have on file for you is inaccurate or unlawfully maintained. If you are in a jurisdiction granting such rights and you wish to object to or to restrict how we use your personal data, please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “Restrict My Data” and explain in the body of the email whether you are asking to stop receiving marketing communications, asking for data to be corrected, or the nature of your restriction request.
You may also have other rights under applicable federal, state, or local laws.
