Definitions

NONPERSONAL DATA (“NPD”) is information that is in no way personally identifiable.

PERSONAL DATA (“PD”) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. PD is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information. However, PD is broader in scope and covers more data. “GDPR” means General Data Protection Regulation.

You can turn off tracking features and other security settings in your browser by referring to your browser’s user manual.

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

The Site may contain links to other websites. These websites are not under our control and are not subject to our Privacy Policy. These websites will likely have their own Privacy Policys. We have no responsibility for these websites and we provide links to these websites solely for your convenience. You acknowledge that your use of and access to these websites are solely at your risk. It is your responsibility to check the Privacy Policys of these websites to see how they treat your PD.

PROTECTING CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Even though the Site is not designed for use by anyone under the age of 16, we realize that a child under the age of 16 may attempt to access the Site. We do not knowingly collect PD from children under the age of 16. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child is using the Site, please contact us. Before we remove any information, we may ask for proof of identification to prevent malicious removal of account information. If we discover that a child is accessing the Site, we will delete his/her information within a reasonable period of time. You acknowledge that we do not verify the age of our users nor have any liability to do so.

You can always opt out of receiving email correspondence from us or our affiliates. We will not sell, rent, or trade your email address to any unaffiliated third party without your permission except in the sale or transfer of our business, or if our company files for bankruptcy.

OUR SECURITY POLICY

We have built the Site using industry-standard security measures and authentication tools to protect the security of your PD. We and the third parties who provide services to us also maintain technical and physical safeguards to protect your PD. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee prevention of loss or misuse of your PD or secure data transmission over the Internet because of its nature. We strongly urge you to protect any password you may have for the Site and not share it with anyone.

USE OF YOUR CREDIT CARD

When you purchase a training, product, or service through the Site, you must provide us with certain information about the products and services you are seeking to purchase. Such information is collectively called the “Order Information.” The Order Information is used to fulfill your order.

When you wish to place an order, you will be required to provide certain information in addition to the PD and Order Information noted above. Such information may include a debit card number, credit card number, expiration date, billing address, activation codes, and similar information. Such information is collectively called the “Billing Information.” Billing Information is collected and processed by our third-party payment processor operating as our agent. We do not directly obtain or process any Billing Information.

We use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that your Billing Information is kept strictly confidential by using only third-party billing services that use industry-standard encryption technology to protect your Billing Information from unauthorized use. However, you understand and agree that we are in no way responsible for any misuse of your Billing Information.

TRANSFERRING PD FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION

It is important to note that the Site and their servers are operated in the United States. If you are located outside of the U.S., please be aware that any information provided to or collected by us, including PD, will be transferred from your country of origin to the U.S. and may be stored, processed, and transferred among any countries in which we operate. The European Union has not found the United States and some other countries to have an adequate level of protection of PD under Article 45 of the GDPR. Our company relies on derogations for specific situations as defined in Article 49 of the GDPR. If you are a European Union customer or user, with your consent your PD may be transferred to the United States or other countries outside the European Union when you request information from us. When you buy goods or services from us, we will use your PD for the performance of a contract or to take steps to enter into a contract. Wherever we transfer, process, or store your PD, we will take reasonable steps to protect it. We will use the information we collect from you in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Except in the case of data transfers under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, your decision to provide such PD to us, or allow us to collect such PD through the Site, constitutes your consent to this data transfer.

CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. If our company decides to change this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on the Site so that our users and customers are always aware of what information we collect, use, and disclose. If at any time we decide to disclose or use your PD in a method different from that specified at the time it was collected, we will provide advance notice by email sent to the email address on file in your account. Otherwise, we will use and disclose our users’ and customers’ PD in agreement with the Privacy Policy in effect when the information was collected. In all cases your continued use of the Site, services, and products after any change to this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change. If you have questions about our Privacy Policy, please contact us through the information at the top of this Privacy Policy.
