Cultivate Balance Privacy Policy
This policy applies to all online communication with Cultivate Balance, including via websites, online courses, ecommerce, online surveys, email and social media.
When you provide us with online information through our website, we respect your privacy. Our promise to you is that we will never sell, dissect, decimate, share, or trade your information. We have never, and will never, sacrifice our customers’ personal information for the purpose of extending marketing relationships with outside firms.
It is important for you to understand what information we do collect about you during your visit and what we do with that information.
1. Information Collection and Use
We only collect personally identifiable information about you via this Website when you provide it in connection with a request for a product, service, or information. For example, if you decide to place an order or register for a course, we will ask you for your delivery and billing address, phone number(s), email address, credit card number and its expiration date. If you decide to complete a user registration form or survey, we may ask you for information such as your contact information (e.g., name, e-mail address and mailing address), age group or birth date. When you submit your personally identifiable information on this Website, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Cultivate Balance may use the information that you provide to fulfill your request for a product, information, or other service, or respond to an email or other request, as well as to create and deliver to you our newsletters or surveys, communications containing product information, usage tips or promotions, help improve our website(s) or services, or customize visitors' experience at our website(s). We do not share your credit card or other account information with unaffiliated third parties unless you authorize us to do so, or if it is necessary to fulfill our responsibilities including, but not limited to, delivering a product or service that you order. If you prefer not to receive email marketing communications from us or from third parties, please see Section 6 below. If you would prefer that we not collect any personally identifiable information from you, please do not provide us with any such information.
Should you decide to submit a testimonial about your experience with our products, you may do so anonymously. If you choose to provide your name, we will only publically attribute your quote to your first name. If you would prefer to that we use a false name, please let us know in writing. Testimonials may be shared in Cultivate Balance marketing materials, including but not limited to print brochures, website, online course platform and social media outlets.
We may also collect, store or accumulate certain non-personally identifiable information concerning your use of this Website, such as information regarding which of our pages are most popular. Information gathered may be used in aggregate form for internal business purposes, such as generating statistics and developing marketing plans. We may share or transfer such aggregate, non-personally identifiable information with or to our affiliates, licensees and partners.
2. Ensuring Your Security
We use Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is a technology that secures the connection between your browser and our website. To verify that SSL is protecting a page, look for a URL beginning with https://, instead of http://, and a green, closed padlock icon. This allows you to navigate the website and submit information through a secure connection.
SSL provides three important security benefits:
Privacy: Encrypts the connection between the browser and web server and securely transmits information (like login credentials) to prevent unauthorized parties from eavesdropping.
Data integrity: Prevents unauthorized parties from altering data during transmission (like during a Form Block submission).
Authentication: Protects against impersonation by requiring web server proof of identity.
3. Technology Utilized
There are two commonly used technologies used on this site, clear gifs and cookies. We use these to monitor the performance of the site and to measure its effectiveness. "Cookies" are small pieces of information stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. We do not use cookies to obtain any personally identifying information. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent this. Please be assured that accepting a cookie does not give us access to your computer or personal information under any circumstances. If you disable cookies, you may be unable to order or use other features of our sites.
Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. Clear gifs are not tied to users' personally identifiable information.
4. Third Parties
We may rely on other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include data analysis firms, customer support specialists, webhosting companies, and fulfillment companies (e.g., companies that fill product orders or coordinate mailings.) We may share personally identifiable information with such third parties as appropriate for them to perform their functions, but they may not use such information for any other purpose.
Our website may offer links to and from other third party sites. Other sites have their own policies regarding privacy. If you visit one of these sites, you may want to review the privacy policy on that site. For example, you may have linked to the Cultivate Balance brand site through a banner advertisement on another site. In such cases the site you have linked from may collect information from people who click on the banner or link. You may want to refer to the privacy policies on those sites to see how they collect and use this information.
5. Notification of Changes
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised policy here. As we may make changes at any time without notifying you, we suggest that you periodically consult this Privacy Policy.
6. Email Marketing
We want to communicate with you via email correspondence only if you want to hear from us. When you purchase a Cultivate Balance product or service, we may from time to time send you email messages describing new products, special offers, and great values. If for any reason you would no longer like to receive email messages from the Cultivate Balance product you purchased, you can remove yourself by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in any e-mail.
Your privacy is important to us, and for this reason we will never share or sell your email address with any third parties for direct marketing purposes. Please note, if you decide not to receive marketing emails from Cultivate Balance, you may still receive "Transactional" email messages regarding your order (i.e. order confirmation, shipping information, customer service notifications, etc.) If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, please contact us at sierra@cultivatebalance.com.
At all times, we reserve the right to disclose any information, including personally identifiable information, to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; to protect Cultivate Balance’ rights or property (including without limitation in the event of a transfer of control of Cultivate Balance company, affiliate or brand, or substantially all of its assets) or during emergencies when safety is at risk, or for credit fraud protection and risk reduction purposes.
