2024
Whatley Swim, LLC (the “Company” “we” “us”) respects the privacy of everyone who visits this Website, www.thehowofbusiness.com (“Website” “Site”) and/or uses the services provided therein. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is guaranteed to be 100% secure. As such, the Company cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit via the internet. By transmitting any such information to the Company, you accept that you do so at your own risk.
The intent of this Privacy Policy is to provide you with information as to the type of information gathered by the Company during a visit to its Website, what that information is used for, how that information may be stored, and the security measures used to protect any personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement is subject to change by the Company, at its discretion, without notice. It is your responsibility to review this statement from time to time.
By continuing to access or otherwise use the Company’s Website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, as outlined below. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access or use this site.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Website, we may collect basic information that does not identify individual users. The information may include the specific pages that are visited on the Site, the page that referred you to our site, and some information about your browser and OS type. Once again, this information does not include any personally identifiable information.
Personally identifiable information such as email addresses, names, home addresses, photographs, etc., will not be collected unless you willingly and voluntarily submit such information to us and that such information is being provided by a person 13 years of age or older (see the clause referencing CHILDREN below). When you purchase any of the Company’s products or services, or voluntarily register for newsletters, downloads, or other promotional information, only the information fields that you fill out are stored and sent to us.
USE OF INFORMATION
As stated above, and as a general policy, no personally identifiable information, is automatically collected from your visit to the Site. However, certain non-personal information is recorded by the standard operation of the Company’s Internet servers. Information such as the type of browser being used, its operating system, and your IP address is gathered in order to enhance your online experience and to help us make this Website better. We may also use your IP address to help prevent fraud, and to help diagnose problems with our server.
The various offers, both free and paid, downloads, contests, registration forms, and surveys found on the Site may ask you to provide us with your contact information such as your name, email address, demographic information such as your age and gender, and personal preference information and interests in order to provide you with the material requested.
When you submit a question or comment via our online form, your email address allows us to reply to you and answer your queries. The Company may also share such information with our business and promotional partners to further those interests. We will never sell personally identifiable information to third parties. We do not control and are therefore not liable for the actions of any third parties.
It is only with your express permission that we will use your contact information to send you information about the Company’s products and services. You always have the choice to opt out of receiving future electronic mailings.
REMARKETING
We also use 3rd party vendor re-marketing tracking cookies, including the Google Adwords and Facebook tracking cookies. This means we will continue to show ads to you across the internet, specifically on the Google Content Network (GCN) and on Facebook. As always we respect your privacy and are not collecting any identifiable information through the use of any other 3rd party re-marketing system.
The third-party vendors, including Google and Facebook, whose services we use – will place cookies on web browsers in order to serve ads based on past visits to our website. This allows us to make special offers and continue to market our services to those who have shown interest in our service.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
The Company may disclose an individual’s personally identifiable information in certain instances where we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to, or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with the Company’s rights or property, or to other users of the Site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
THIRD PARTY LINKS
At times we include links to other websites on this Site. These third party sites may request information from you. Be advised that in such instances, the collection and use of your personally identifiable information will be governed by the Privacy Policy in effect on that third party site. We do not control the privacy statements, in-formation, and links that may appear on other sites. You are responsible for reviewing the privacy statements of third party sites before providing any of them with any information.
CREDIT CARD INFORMATION
If you purchase one of the Company’s products or services, we will use a third-party (i.e. Stripe) to collect the credit card information and process your payment. The Company does not at any time collect or store your credit card information.
CHILDREN
We recognize the special obligation to protect any personally identifiable information obtained from children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect any such information. If you are a child under the age of 13 we request that you do not submit any information to the Site without the express permission of a parent or legal guardian. If we discover that a child under the age of 13 has signed up on the Site or provided us with personally identifiable information without consent of a parent or legal guardian, we will delete that child’s identifiable information from our records. If you become aware that your minor child has provided us with personally identifiable information, you may contact us using the information provided, below. We will make every reasonable efforts to remove your child’s information from our records.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
The California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) requires California companies to provide an opportunity for California residents to opt-out or unsubscribe from having personal information used by third parties (such as advertisers or affiliated companies) for direct marketing purposes.
This Company is not a California based business and therefore does not honor behavioral advertising opt-out or do not track mechanisms. This includes general web browser “Do Not Track” settings and signals.
However, if you are a California resident you may contact us to exercise your dis-closure choice options. However, we do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working on Do Not Track standards, implementations and solutions.
