We, KDI, respect your privacy and want you to understand how we collect, use, and share data about you. By accessing or using this Website including any content herein, and/or by giving us your email or any personal information, with or without purchase, you are confirming your consent to and acceptance of the contents of this privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”). If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, you should not use this Website.

Unless stated otherwise, all references to the “Sites”, “Site”, “site”, or “sites” herein include all such Sites. For clarity, this Privacy Policy does not apply to your use of unaffiliated or third party websites to which any of our Sites may link to or direct to.

“Personal information” means any information that permits an individual to be identified, but does not include your name, title and business contact information as these are not subject to privacy restrictions.  We control the Website and other Sites from offices in Canada and are governed by the laws of Alberta, Canada as more particularly set forth in the Website’s Terms of Use located at https://www.sherylstanford.com/pages/terms.  As noted in the Terms of Use, in its sole discretion and without notification, KDI may modify or revise this Privacy Policy from time to time, which revised provisions shall be effective upon posting.

By giving us your contact information at any time, you are granting us the right to contact you in the future in any manner necessary at our discretion for ongoing personal and professional development including news on products, services, issues and upcoming events. You may accordingly receive periodic emails, mailings or calls from us with such information.

•  Outside Sites (Their Privacy Policies May Be Different)

Our Sites may contain links to other websites, such as our sponsor’s websites or links to booksellers, which may offer products or services. These third party websites may request information from you when you arrive. In such instances, the collection and use of your personal information will be governed by the privacy policy applicable to that website. We do not control the privacy policies, contents or links that appear on these websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party websites or services before providing any of them with your personal information.

•  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 seminar, 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 Sites, we may use Facebook, Google or other tracking tools to understand your behavior on our Sites 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 seminar or participating in a sweepstakes, 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 with personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including Postal Code), e-mail address, telephone, credit card information, and any other personal information we feel is applicable. 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 which will be used as advised at such time or as otherwise stated herein. 

Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy 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, mailings or calls 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 Sites and its services or to contact you or advertise in the future. We use this information to administer the Sites and to understand and measure traffic patterns on the Sites 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. However, in some cases we use tools like cookies, web beacons, analytics services, and advertising providers to gather data about you or your computer location. We may use this statistical data for statistical analysis, marketing, advertising, or similar promotional purposes. This data is often tracked by us and our technology services provider by using “cookies” or “pixels” during your visit. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card and enables us to record your passwords, purchases, and preferences and to deliver targeted messages or advertising to you in the future. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. For some web pages that require an authorization, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies will probably not be able to access those pages. We also use Facebook “pixels” on many of our Sites so that we can understand your digital behavior and potentially later target you with related advertising. We also use Google Analytics to understand how long you might spend on our Sites or how you interact with our Sites.

If you ever choose to opt-out of targeted advertising with us, then please contact us at [email protected], so that we can remove your email from any advertising we may use.

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, with software that keeps it encrypted.  Any other information stored happens via cookies or pixels as described above, and as facilitated via 3rd party tools (like Facebook, Google or Kajabi). Below are examples of how we may use any information to better communicate with you:

• Provide and administer services, including to display customized content and facilitate communication with other users;
• Process your requests and orders for courses, products, specific services, information, or features;
• Communicate with you about your account by:
• Responding to your questions and concerns;
• Sending you administrative messages and information, including messages from instructors and teaching assistants, notifications about changes to our service, and updates to our agreements;
• Sending you information and in-app messages about your progress in courses, rewards programs, new services, new features, promotions, newsletters, and other available courses (which you can opt out of at any time);
• Sending push notifications to your wireless device to provide updates and other relevant messages (which you can manage from the “options” or “settings” page of a mobile app);
• Manage your account preferences;
• Facilitate the Sites’ technical functioning, including troubleshooting and resolving issues, securing the services, and preventing fraud and abuse;
• Solicit feedback from users;
• Market and administer surveys and promotions
• Learn more about you by linking your data with additional data through third-party data providers or analyzing the data with the help of analytics service providers;
• Identify unique users across devices;
• Tailor advertisements across devices;
• Improve our Sites and develop new products, services, and features;
• Analyze trends and traffic, track purchases, and track usage data;
• Advertise the services on third-party websites and applications;
• As required or permitted by law; or
• As we, in our sole discretion, otherwise determine to be necessary to ensure the safety or integrity of our users, employees, third parties, the public, or our services.

When you submit information to us, then, we use it in an ongoing nature to ensure you receive the information or purchases you’ve made with us, to deliver relevant future content via our newsletters, and to make future offers through our company or any other company that is involved in delivering your purchases. At any time, you can contact us not to have your information shared with such service providers, but you may lose access to certain purchase bonuses or items if you do not allow the delivering third-party to contact you.

As most of our programs are for ongoing educational purposes in the field of personal and professional development, you should assume we will continue to contact you in perpetuity via email or via social media in order to deliver our services, serve you related content, make recommendations, learn about your preferences, grant you products, deliver programs to you with or from other platforms or companies, advertise to you or look alike audiences, send you surveys, and other fulfillment or marketing purposes.

By using our Sites and submitting any information with us, you agree to these terms (in addition to the Terms of Use) without exception and agree to waive liability and not hold us liable for any use of your information provided such use is in accordance herewith, in perpetuity, under any circumstances, including waiving your right to participate or initiate any class action complaints and subject to any request by you: (i) to unsubscribe to our email news or (ii) to [email protected] or the Privacy Officer to cease further contact as provided above.

• Disclosures of Personal Information

While we are committed to keeping your information secure and private, we have the following exceptions to our privacy policy. We will release specific information about you or your account to comply with any valid legal inquiry or process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order. We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of the Sites, or a physical or property threat to you or others. We may also transfer user information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of related assets or corporate division or other fundamental corporate change. Further, the information you enter when making a purchase or an online donation will be shared with payment processors, financial gateways, and your credit card company to authorize credit card payments. Such information may also be shared with necessary third parties solely for the purpose or carrying out the transactions. Please note that if you give out personal information online through a discussion board or posting site, that information can be collected and used by third parties. Although we strive to protect our users’ privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information you post in these forums. You disclose such information at your own risk.

•  Storage

KDI may store personal information and related data outside of Alberta, Canada, including in the United States or elsewhere, which services may be subject to different privacy laws. KDI shall strive to ensure that personal information remains subject to the standards set forth in this policy.
