Personal Data is information that can be used to identify you specifically, including your name, shipping address, email address, telephone number, or demographic information like your age, gender, or hometown. You consent to giving us this information by providing it to us voluntarily on our website or any mobile application. You provide some of this information when you register with or make purchases from our website. You may also provide this information by participating in various activities associated with our site, including responding to blogs, contacting us with questions, or participating in group training.

Cookies are discussed more fully below. Derivative data collected by third-party service providers generally does not identify a specific individual.
Financial data is data that is related to your payment method, such as credit card or bank transfer details. We collect financial data in order to allow you to purchase, order, return, or exchange products or services from our website and any related mobile apps. We store limited financial data. Most financial data is transferred to our payment processor, Stripe, and you should review these processors’ Privacy Policy to determine how they use, disclose, and protect your financial data. As a courtesy, Stripe's Privacy Policy can be found here: https://stripe.com/privacy.
We may access personal information from social networking sites and apps, including Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Twitter, Snapchat, or other social networking sites or apps not named specifically here, which may include your name, social network username, location, email address, age, gender, profile picture, and any other public information. If you do not want us to access this information, please go to the specific social networking site and change your privacy settings.

On occasion, you may give us additional data in order to enter into a contest or giveaway or to participate in a survey. You will be prompted for this information and it will be clear that you are offering this kind of information in exchange for an entry into such a contest or giveaway.
In addition, we may use third party services such as Google Analytics that collect, monitor and analyze this Site.

Your information allows us to offer you certain products and services, including the use of our website, to fulfill our obligations to you, to customize your interaction with our company and website, and to allow us to suggest other products and services we think might interest you. We generally store your data and transmit it to a third party for processing. However, to the extent we process your data, we do so to serve legitimate business interests (such as providing the opportunity to purchase our goods or services and interact with our website or mobile app).
Specifically, we may use the information and data described above to:

LOG FILES
Like many other websites, we make use of log files. These files merely log visitors to the site-usually a standard procedure for hosting companies and a part of hosting services’ analytics. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. This information is used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement around the site, and gather demographic information. IP addresses and other such information are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.
COOKIES
Cookies are files with a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer's hard drive.
Like many sites, we use "cookies" to collect information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Site.
SECURITY
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
PROCESSING YOUR INFORMATION
For the most part, we do not process your information in-house, but give it to third-party processors for processing. For example, when PayPal takes your payment information, they are a third-party processor. They process your payment and remit the funds to us. So in many instances, it will be necessary for us to transmit your information to a third-party processor, as we do not have the capability to perform these functions.
We may, from time to time, process your data internally. The legal basis for this processing is both your consent to the processing, our need to conduct legitimate business interests, and to comply with legal obligations. Our purposes in processing this information, if we do, is to administer, maintain, and improve our website and offerings, to enter into contracts with you, to fulfill the terms of those contracts, to keep records of transactions and interactions, to be able to provide you with goods and services, to comply with our legal obligations, to obtain professional advice, and to protect the rights and interests of our company, customers (including you), and any third parties. We may process the following data:
- Data associated with your account, such as name, address, email address, and payment information;
- Data about your usage of our website, such as Your IP address, geographical information, how long you accessed our website and what you viewed;
- Data related to your personal profile, such as name, address, profile picture, interests and hobbies, or employment details;
- Data that you provide us in the course of using our services;
- Data that you post on our website, such as comments or responses to blogs;
- Data that you submit to us when you make an inquiry regarding our website or offerings;

- Data that you provide to us when you subscribe to emails or newsletters, including your email address and contact information;
- Data that is submitted to us via correspondence, such as when you email us with questions; or
- Any other data identified in this policy, for the purpose of complying with our legal obligations, or to protect the vital interests of you or any other natural person.
