Privacy Policy

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using this website.

Privacy Policy Consent

The website and its content are owned and operated by Alexis Romeu, DOM (hereinafter “Company”, “we”, or “us”). As used in this Privacy Policy, the words “you” and “your” refers to any viewer or user accessing www.expansionacademy.thinkific.com (hereinafter “Website”).

The following Privacy Policy statement describes how we collect, use, process and distribute your information, including your Personally Identifiable Information (as defined below) used to access this Website. The following also provides the rules that govern use of our site. The use of information collected through our sites shall be limited to the purposes under this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions.

We encourage you to please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using our Website or its content, you consent to this Privacy Policy, whether or not you have read it. Please be advised we reserve the right to modify, alter, or update this Privacy Policy at any time. We will post any such change at this site. Any changes will apply prospectively. Your continued use of our site following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance and consent of any and all posted changes.

Scope

This Privacy Policy statement applies only to information you provide to us online while visiting our Website. Use of any personal information or contribution that you provide to us, or which is collected by us on or through our Website or its content is governed by this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information we have obtained offline, or through other means.

Information is Provided Solely for Informational Purposes 

All materials on our website (hereinafter "Materials") are provided solely for informational purposes. The Materials are not intended to constitute any advice. Your viewing or use of the materials shall in no way create any relationship with Alexis Romeu, DOM or any of our partners, associates or affiliates.

Personal Information is Private and We Limit Our Use 

The information you may provide in visiting our site falls into two categories: Personal Identifiable Information and Aggregate Information. "Personal Identifiable Information" is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, email address, or mailing address. "Aggregate Information" is information that does not identify you, and may include, for example, statistical information concerning the Web pages on our site that users most frequent. Our Privacy Policy governs both categories of information. The information we receive depends upon what you do when you visit our site, as detailed herein. We do not share with unrelated third parties any Personal Identifiable Information you provide to us. By “unrelated third parties” we mean anyone who is not directly involved in the maintenance or running of our site, or not involved in fulfilling requests you make at our site. We use Personal Identifiable Information you provide to us when you visit our site strictly for the purposes for which you have provided it. For example, if you request to receive our newsletters and notices of events, and you provide us with contact information, we will use that information to contact you regarding your request or to send you the information. If, at any time, you decide you no longer wish to receive such information, simply notify us at [email protected].

Security

We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Personal Identifiable Information you provide to us from misuse, disclosure or unauthorized access. We only share Personal Identifiable Information with trusted third parties who use the same level of care in processing your Personal Identifiable Information. That being said, due to the nature of the internet and developing technologies, we cannot, however, provide assurances as to the security of your information, and we disclaim any such obligations. Should there be a data breach of which we are aware, we will notify you immediately.

Information We May Collect

As a user or viewer of our Website, we collect personal information from you so that we can provide you with a certain experience when utilizing our Website or its content. We will only collect the minimum amount of information necessary for us to fulfill our obligation to you. As such, we may collect:

• Your name and email address if you complete our contact form with a question.

• Information from you from a co-branded offer. In this case, we will make clear as to who is collecting the information and whose privacy policy applies. If both/all parties are retaining the information you provide, this will also be made clear as will links to all privacy policies.

Please note that the information above Personal Identifiable Information that you are giving to us is voluntarily, and by you providing this information to us you are giving consent for us to use, collect and process this Personal Identifiable Information. At any time, you are welcome to opt-out or request for us to delete your Personal Identifiable Information by contacting us at [email protected].  Please note that If you choose not to provide us with certain Personal Identifiable Information, you may not be able to participate in certain aspects of our Website or content.

Anonymous Data Collection and Use

To maintain our Website’s high quality, we may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer the Website by identifying which areas of the Website are most heavily used, and to display content according to your preferences. Your IP address is the number assigned to computers connected to the Internet. This is essentially “traffic data” which cannot personally identify you but is helpful to us for marketing purposes and for improving our services. Traffic data collection does not follow a user’s activities on any other websites in any way. Anonymous traffic data may also be shared with business partners and advertisers on an aggregate basis.

Use of “Cookies”

We may collect Aggregate Information about your use of our site through cookies and similar Internet technologies. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive, where it is stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. If we use cookies, they do not collect or retain your name or other Personal Identifiable Information. If we use cookies, we will treat all information that may be collected through cookies and similar Internet technologies as Aggregate Information. In addition, no third parties are permitted to use cookies we may create at our site for their own purposes. Please be advised, however, that sites you link to from our Website may use cookies. You should read and understand the privacy policy of the site(s) you link to in order to determine whether and how a particular site uses cookies.
