3. CONSENT

When you provide personal information to subscribe to a service, make a purchase, or participate in a digital product, you implicitly consent to our collecting and using it for that specific reason only.

If we request your personal information for secondary purposes, such as marketing, we will either:

4. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

  • Required by law, such as in response to a court order or investigation

  • You violate our Terms of Service

5. DATA STORAGE AND SECURITY

Platform Hosting

Our course and site are hosted by Thinkific Labs Inc. ("Thinkific"). They provide us with the online course creation platform that allows us to sell our products/services. Your data is stored through Thinkific's data storage, databases, and general application on secure servers behind a firewall.

Payment Security

If you make a purchase on our site, we use third-party payment processors such as Stripe or PayPal. Payments are encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your transaction.

All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover). These requirements ensure the secure handling of credit card information.

For more information, you may read Thinkific's Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.

Security Measures

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

If you provide credit card information, it is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.

6. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and processors, have their own privacy policies regarding information we must provide for your purchase-related transactions. We recommend reading their privacy policies to understand how they handle your personal information.

If you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where that provider or its facilities are located.

For example, if you're in Canada and your transaction is processed by a U.S.-based payment gateway, your personal information may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
