Children Under The Age of 13

Our Website is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use this Website or provide any information about yourself.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you voluntarily provide when:

  • Signing up for our email newsletter or lead magnets

  • Registering for courses, advisory sessions, or events

  • Making a purchase, including digital product purchases and subscription payments

  • Filling out forms, surveys, or contacting us through the Website

This information may include your name, email address, billing information, and other details necessary to deliver products or services.

Information Collected Automatically

As you navigate our Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies (such as Google Analytics) to gather information about your equipment, browsing activity, and usage patterns. This may include:

  • Your IP address, browser type, and operating system

  • Pages visited and time spent on the Website

  • Referring websites and search terms

This information is generally used for statistical purposes and to improve user experience. It is not personal information unless you voluntarily provide it.

Digital Product Purchases

When you purchase a digital product (including courses, guides, or paid subscriptions) through our Website, we collect the information necessary to process your order, such as your name, email address, and payment details.

  • Payments are processed securely through third-party payment processors (Stripe for credit cards, Kit/ConvertKit for subscription management). We never see or store your full credit card number. Payment information is transmitted directly to these processors using industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS). Their privacy policies govern how they handle your payment data:

  • Your purchase information may be used to deliver digital content, manage your subscription, provide customer support, and keep records of your transaction.

  • Because these are digital products, once delivered they cannot be "returned," but your personal information will still be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Free Newsletter Subscribers:
If you sign up for our free newsletter or download a free resource, we collect your name and email address to deliver content and updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
