We do; however, reserve the right to contact you regarding your account status, technical support, and for anything that might affect the services and/or products you have purchased from us in the past.
As stated in the Terms and Conditions and in the event of an acquisition or merger, your consent to disclose your PII to us will automatically apply to any future entity having a financial interest in us, our sites, or our services. In the event of an acquisition or merger, your continued use of our websites, services, and products signifies your agreement to be bound by the Terms and Conditions, California Privacy Policy, and Privacy Policy of the websites’ or services’ subsequent owner or operator.
As stated in Special Promotions, Purchases, Sweepstakes and Content Submissions, we may also work with third parties who provide services such as credit card processing, customer service, promotion management, order fulfillment, and/or prize delivery, as applicable. These companies are legally bound to handle your PII in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Third parties who provide (or participate in) Services on our websites are prohibited from using our customers’ PII for marketing purposes (and from sharing, selling, or otherwise using such information) unless you select to opt into their marketing efforts.
If you do not wish to share your information with our third parties for the purposes of their marketing efforts, do not opt in. Whenever you do choose to opt-in to communications from third parties, please remember that your information is subject to their privacy policy, which may differ substantially from ours. You should always review the privacy policy of anyone who collects your information to determine how it will be handled.

IP addresses may also be collected in cooperation with Internet Service Providers to identify users if we deem it necessary to comply with law, to enforce compliance with our Privacy Policy, or our Terms and Conditions, or to protect our sites, our customers or others.
3. Non-Personally Identifiable Information We Collect and How We Use It
As a part of the registration process for some Services, you may be asked to provide information that does not personally identify you (“NON-PII”). Examples of this information include your personal preferences, gender, and purchasing habits. This information may be requested as a part of a User Account Profile you may be asked to create and is generally optional. We request this information to help save you time by customizing our services and programs to your preferences.
In some instances, we will automatically collect NON-PII about your use of our Websites and Services.
In order to track this information, we may use cookies and other types of technology (see below). Some examples of what we might collect include (but may not be limited to):
• The type of browser you are using
• The operating system on your computer
• The domain name of your ISP
• How you got to the site (i.e. your click-path through our sites/services or your click-through from third party sites, e-mails, or advertisements)
• Your IP address
If you are using our services from any hand-held/wireless device, we may also automatically collect the following information:
• The type of device you are using
• Your wireless telecommunications provider
• Your mobile identification number (assigned by your wireless telecommunications provider)
Information collected in this manner is anonymous unless you have provided us with PII. We may, at our discretion, use and share with third parties aggregate, NON-PII to show general demographic and preference information among users of our websites.
As stated above, when you visit our sites, our servers may automatically collect information about how long you stayed on a given site, the type of browser you were using at the time, how many times you visited each page, and your IP address. This information helps us improve our products and services and gives us a better understanding of our geographic reach.
4. Information We May Collect from Other People and How We May Use It
Some of our websites and services may ask you to submit PII about other people as a referral request. If you provide us with a friend’s PII, or if your friend provides your PII to us, we will send the information referral with an opt-in request. Please note that we use a double opt-in process, meaning that you will be sent a request to opt-in through e-mail, and you must click on a special link within that e-mail in order to finalize your opt-in status with us. If we do not receive an opt-in confirmation, we will not send further information.
5. Our Sign Up and Opt-In Policy for E-mail Newsletter Subscriptions
We will ask you for your name and e-mail address to subscribe to our e-mail newsletters. Again, we use the double opt-in process as described in Subsection 4 for any subscriptions. While this process creates an extra step for you, we believe that it also keeps you safe from practical jokes or acts of malice that may negatively affect you.
6. How Our User Accounts Are Setup and Maintained
In order to use some of our products and Services, you may be asked to register and create a user account (“USER ACCOUNT”). The creation of a User Account is free.
Typically, you will be asked to provide the following PII in the creation of your account:
• First and Last Name
• Address
• Telephone Number
• E-mail address
You will also be asked to choose a user name, screen name, or member name (collectively “USER NAME”) and password for your account. We recommend that you not use your real name, and we ask that you not use the name of another when selecting a User Name.
As with use of other Internet forums, chat rooms, or message boards, use of our similar Services will make your USER NAME available to the Internet’s general public while you are participating.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you choose to publicly disclose in these venues and through these types of Services.
You are responsible for keeping the information contained within your USER ACCOUNT updated with current and complete information.
To request deactivation of your USER ACCOUNT, send an e-mail to privacy@expandingmindsetacademy.com. Please review our restrictions and acceptable use guidelines for our user forums in the “Terms and Conditions” for our sites.
We also provide an “unsubscribe” option in all commercial e-mail you receive from us, and you may exercise that option by clicking on the link contained within the e-mail. Please understand that while your option will be automatically processed, it may not always be possible to completely remove or modify your information in our databases until we execute a data purge process. This means that while you will not receive further communication from us; your information may continue to be stored with us until our purge process is run. Once we have executed our purge process, in the event that you choose to reconnect with us after opting out, you will be asked to re-enter all of your information.
7. Our Commitment to Data Security
While we take every reasonable and appropriate effort to protect your PII from unauthorized access and disclosure; no website, Internet transaction, computer, or Internet connection (whether by wireless or Ethernet protocol) is completely secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other types of breaches will never occur.
By accessing our Sites, you understand that you do so at your own risk.
Whenever you give us confidential information (such as a credit card number for payment processing), we abide by Payment Card Industry standards which means that we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your information is protected through establishing a secure connection with your web browser. We use secure-socket-layer (“SSL”) technology to protect your information during its transmission to either our site or to our third party e-commerce partners. We do not use or retain your credit card information for marketing purposes.
8. Special Promotions, Sweepstakes, Purchases, and Content Submissions
Your PII will be collected when you enter a sweepstakes, participate in a special promotion, or make a purchase through our sites, either by us, or through a third party.
Your entry or purchase serves as your consent for us to collect and distribute such information to third parties such as e-commerce providers for the purposes of:
• Processing your credit card transactions
• Customer Service
• Sweepstake Administration
• Order Fulfillment
• Prize Delivery, as applicable
As stated above, these third parties are prohibited from using this information for their own marketing purposes and/or from sharing, selling, or otherwise distributing any of your PII, unless you choose to opt-in through their marketing efforts.
Except where prohibited by law, your participation by entering a sweepstakes or a special promotion that could be construed as such, serves as your written consent that you agree to be bound by the official rules that govern such an event. These types of promotions may require that you agree to allow your name, voice, and/or likeness to be used in advertising or marketing efforts and any such requirement will be clearly posted in the official rules.
When you submit a website comment, blog post, photograph, or other content to be published by any means (electronic, voice, DVD, etc.), we may display your name or other PII in connection with publishing the content.
By submitting this information to us, you give us your consent to publish said material.
