How and Why We Collect Information
We collect your email address when you submit it, and some limited website information and behavior, in order to record and support your participation in the activities you select or in order to contact you or advertise to you later. If you register for a course or a workshop, for example, the information you give us – your phone number, email, and address – is used to reserve your seat, to track your preferences, and to keep you informed about the seminar and related personal development content, offers, and events until you unsubscribe or ask for your data to be removed. If you visit our websites, we may use Facebook, Google or other tracking tools to understand your behavior on our websites and to deliver advertising to you in the future.
As a visitor to our Sites, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal information. In connection with other activities, such as utilizing registering for a membership or course, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, we may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including ZIP code), e-mail address, telephone, credit card, and other personal information. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity. In all cases, we will collect personal identification information like your email or phone number only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. We will also tell you how we use your information or if we share it with another party.
Except as otherwise provided in this policy, we will never sell any personal identification information about you as an individual user to any third party without having received your permission. If you supply us with your contact information you may receive periodic e-mails from us with information on new products and services, important issues, or upcoming events.
When you use our Sites, we or our authorized technology services provider may also collect certain technical and routing information from you to facilitate your use of the Site and its services or to contact you or advertise in the future. We use this information to administer the Site and to understand and measure traffic patterns on the Site so that we know which areas of our sites are favorites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve our sites for mobile and future technical platforms. This information is collected mostly in aggregate form, without identifying you or any user individually.

As always, you can unsubscribe from any of our emails at any time via the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email you received from us.
We do not store any information about you on our servers other than that which you submit into one of our forms, and in any case we hold your sensitive information like your credit card information we use software that keeps it encrypted.
