Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. We protect the information you share with us by following principles in accordance with world-wide practices for customer privacy and data protection.

• We will not sell or give away your name, mail address, phone number, email address or any other information to anyone.
• We use state-of-the-art security measures to protect your information from unauthorized users.

NOTICE

We ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally this information is requested when you register on the site or when you order one of our services. We use your personal information for four primary purposes:

• To make the site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once.
• To help you quickly find information you are seeking.
• To help us create dynamic content relevant to you.
• To alert you of special offers, updated information and other new services from our company.

WHAT WE COLLECT

while using our service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. For the most part, personally identifiable information is encrypted and may include, but is not limited to:

• Email address
• First name and last name
• Phone number
• Address, state, province, zip/postal code, city
• Information related to government registration and certification
• Usage data

Because all of the above data is necessary for us to provide service to you, you cannot opt out of providing us this data.

CONSENT

You can still use our web site if you choose not to register or provide personal information, but you will not be able to access areas that require registration.

If you decide to register, you will be able to select the kinds of information you want to receive from us by subscribing to various services, like our electronic newsletters. If you do not want us to communicate with you about other offers regarding our products, programs, events, or services by e-mail, postal mail, or telephone, you may select the option stating that you do not wish to receive marketing messages from us.

If you are not a registered user and you previously gave us permission to contact you, there is no automated way on the website to remove yourself from future communications. You must instead unsubscribe via a link in an email that we have previously sent you or you must reach out to our customer support team via our Contact/Reach Out form and request to be removed.

To ensure a convenient experience and to abide by government regulations, we may transmit information about you (such as your name, completed coursework and registration identification numbers) to official government agencies such as the IRS and CTEC.

ACCESS

We provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may review and update this information:

• You can view and edit personal information you have already given us.
• You can tell us whether you want us to send you marketing information.
• You can sign up for electronic newsletters about our services and products.
• We do not sell your information to third parties – but if we choose to do so in the future, you’ll be able to tell us whether you want third parties to contact you with their offers.

SECURITY

We take strong measures to protect the security of your personal information and to ensure that your choices for its intended use are honored. We take strong precautions to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

We use Stripe and PayPal for your e-commerce transactions. We use secure sockets layer (SSL) server technology software during our transactions, which encrypts your personal information before it's sent over the Internet. SSL is one of the safest encryption technologies available. We never see your credit card number and only our payment processors have access to that data. Please view Stripe and PayPal's privacy policies for more information as we have no control over their policies.

We strictly protect the security of your personal information and honor your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Your personal information is never shared outside the company without your permission, except under conditions described within this privacy policy. Inside the company, your data is stored encrypted in password-controlled servers with limited access. Your information is stored and processed only in the United States.

You also have a significant role in protecting your information. No one outside our administration staff can see or edit your personal information without knowing your user name and password, so you should not share your account, login, or other information with others.

We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as Stripe or PayPal. These services may include mailing and delivering information, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
