PRIVACY POLICY
'Owen Life Coach Institute' is operated by Lauren Marie Owen. LAUREN MARIE OWEN WILL BE REFERED TO AS “LAUREN MARIE OWEN” OR “OWEN LIFE COACH INSTITUTE” OR “WE” OR “I” OR “OUR” OR “ OUR COMPANY.”
This Privacy Policy describes how we
handle your personal information for our services on all of our Owen
Life Coach Institute's Web site (this "Site"). Our Company,
Owen Life Coach Institute collects information from all end users of
our services (the "Products" and/or "Services"),
those who access some of our Services but do not have accounts
("Visitors"), as well as those who may purchase Products
and/or Services ("Members"). We request that you read this
Privacy Policy carefully.
Personal Information Our Company Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction: Our company collects information in different ways from Visitors and Members who access the various parts of our Services and the network of Web sites accessible through our Services.
Registration: Members may be asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up for our Products or Services, including name, address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access the Services. The personal information collected from Members during the registration process is used to manage each Member's account (such as for billing purposes). This information may be shared with third parties, as stated herein, or in special circumstances.
However, in instances where our
company and a partner jointly promote our Services, we may email you
about our partner's services or goods, for the purpose of offering
you other products and services.
In this instance, personal information
may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. We may also
generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal
information Members provide during registration (such as the total
number, but not the names, of Members). As explained in more detail
below, we may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to
sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
Our Company Partners and Sponsors: Some products and services may be offered to Visitors and Members in conjunction with an affiliate, independent contractor, seller, or non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors and Members some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect and maintain personal information.
Online Shopping: At some Web sites, you can purchase products and services or register to receive materials, such as a newsletter, catalog, or new product and service updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide contact information, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and credit/debit card information.
If you complete an order for someone
else, such as an online gift order sent directly to a recipient, you
may be asked to provide information about the recipient, such as the
recipient's name, address, and phone number. Our company has no
control over the third party’s use of any personal information you
provide when placing such an order. Please exercise care when doing
so. If you order Services or Products directly from our company, we
use the personal information you provide to process that order.
Online Advertisements: Our company may
display our online advertisements. In those cases, we share
information about our Visitors and Members collected through the
registration process as well as through online surveys and promotions
with these advertisers.
Additionally, in some instances, we use this information to deliver tailored advertisements or joint ventures. For instance, an advertiser or joint venture company tells us the audience it wants to reach and provides us an advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the information we have collected, we may then display or send the advertisement to the intended audience. Our company does share personal information about its Visitors or Members with these advertisers or joint venture companies.
Responses to E-mail Inquiries: When
Visitors or Members send e-mail inquiries to our company, the return
e-mail address is used to answer the e-mail inquiry we receive.
Voluntary Customer Surveys: We may
periodically conduct both business and individual customer surveys.
We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because
they provide us with important information that helps us to improve
the types of Products and Services we offer and how we provide them
to you.
We may take the information we receive
from individuals responding to our customer surveys and combine (or
aggregate) it with the responses of other customers we may have to
create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as
gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry
sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated
information to improve the quality of our Services to you, and to
develop new services and products. This aggregated, non-personally
identifying information may be shared with third parties.
Special Cases: It is our company's policy to use or share the personal information about Visitors or Members in ways described herein without additional notice or means to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
Also, we may disclose personal information about Visitors or Members, or information regarding your use of the Services or Web sites accessible through our Services, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including credit agencies, collection agencies, merchant database agencies, law enforcement, or to satisfy laws such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Child Online Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms Of Service, or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect our company and our Members.
