Your Privacy Rights and How to Exercise Them

As a California, Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, Texas, Utah, or Virginia resident, you have certain rights related to your personal information, which are detailed below. We encourage you to invoke these rights if you wish. Rest assured that we will not discriminate or retaliate against you for doing so.

Except where otherwise noted, you can exercise these rights by contacting us at [email protected] or using other contact methods provided below in this policy. If you opt to email us, please include as detailed a description of your request as possible.

Upon receiving certain types of requests, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can move forward. Typically this will involve asking you to confirm information we already have on file about you. We will never ask you for sensitive information such as your credit card, driver’s license, or social security numbers for verification purposes.

You may also allow an “authorized agent” to submit a request on your behalf through the same means outlined above. Unless your agent has been given power of attorney, we will additionally need the following items to honor your request:  (1) written authorization, signed by you, allowing them to act on your behalf; (2) proof of your identity; and (3) direct confirmation sent from you to us (without the authorized agent as an intermediary) affirming that the agent is authorized to act on your behalf.

Types of Rights

Access. This policy describes the categories of personal information we may collect about you, and how that information is collected, used, and disclosed. We will also provide you with the specific pieces of personal information we hold about you upon your request. 

Correction. If you believe that any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate you may request that we correct it. You can update some information, like your contact details, yourself by visiting your account page if you have one. For other corrections, please contact us as described above.

Deletion. You may request that we delete the personal information we hold about you. We fulfill these requests by erasing the data or by anonymizing it such that you can no longer be identified. We will not attempt to re-identify anonymized data. 

Please note that we may need to retain limited amounts of personal information after completing your request for legal compliance purposes. Additionally, we may postpone completion of your request when your personal information is necessary to fulfill our obligations to you. For example, if you are an active subscriber we may wait until your subscription expires before fulfilling your request.

Right to Withdraw Consent for or Limit the Use and Disclosure of Your Sensitive Personal Information When you participate in one of our surveys, we may ask you about information that could be considered sensitive under applicable privacy laws. The question will always be optional, but you also have the option to withdraw your consent to our use of this information or to limit our right to use or disclose your sensitive personal information after you’ve provided it to us. If you do so, we will delete it entirely; only use it as necessary to provide our Services to you; or as otherwise permitted by law. 

To opt-out, you can visit our Data Opt-Out Page or email us at [email protected].

Opt out of “Selling,” Sharing, or Using for Targeted Advertising.

You have the right to opt out of the “sale” of your personal information, or the sharing/use of it for targeted advertising. Under some of these state laws, the word “sale” means our disclosure of your personal information to a third party in exchange for money or any other thing of value, while others only consider it a “sale” if money was exchanged. 

We do not sell your personal information in the conventional sense (i.e., for money), but may disclose certain details to our business partners. However, under the CCPA, some sharing of personal information necessary to provide you with personalized ads and with some of our partners may be considered a “sale,” even if no money is exchanged. 

In that respect, we have disclosed email addresses and contact information to other businesses and third parties which include our joint marketing partners when we host webinars and events with them within the twelve (12) months preceding the effective date of this Privacy Policy. As is common practice among businesses that operate websites, we may also have disclosed certain online identifiers, information about the use of our website, and inferences drawn about you to our social media, advertising, and analytics partners.

Sharing or using your personal information for targeted advertising means our disclosure of your personal information to a third party in order to serve you interest-based advertisements. Likewise, it does not encompass disclosing your personal information to a third party for other purposes.

If you wish to opt out of the use of your personal information for one or both of these practices, you may do so by following the instructions on our Data Opt-Out Page.

Please note that any opt-out is specific to the browser You use. You may need to opt-out on every browser that you use.

Currently we don’t recognize opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control.

Additionally, when residents of California opt out of “sales,” we also treat your request as one made pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light” law to opt out of  the disclosure of your personal information to third parties for their use for direct marketing.

If your request related to any of the rights detailed above is denied, you may appeal that decision by emailing us at [email protected].

Information We Disclose To Third Parties

The chart below details the categories of (1) personal data we may disclose to third parties, (2) third parties we may disclose that information to for a business purpose, and (3) third parties we may “sell” or share it with for targeted advertising. It reflects these practices over the 12 months prior to the day this policy was last updated. 

As a reminder, our service providers enable us to deliver our Services to you. For example, we use service providers to process your payments, to manage our email communications with you, and to maintain our Services’ safety and security. Please note that the lists below are likely to be overbroad for any single person. Similarly, not every data point that falls into the categories below is necessarily shared with all of the third parties listed. For more information on the categories used in the following chart and the reasons why we share personal data, please review Types of Information Collected and How We Share Your Information sections of this policy, respectively.
