You are under no obligation to provide Us with personal information, but without it We may not be able to provide to You the products or services that You request. We and Our Contractors may retain the content of and metadata regarding any correspondence You may have with Us or Our representatives, regardless of the mode of communication by which such correspondence was made.

These interactive areas are intended to enhance the user experience and build a healthy community around the products and services available through the Site. JDCOT is not liable for information posted in interactive areas of the Site.

These interactive areas are intended to enhance the user experience for Our members and class registrants by providing an online community. Like the interactive areas on the Site, JDCOT is not liable for information posted in Our interactive areas on such third party products or services. We advise You to review the privacy policies of any third party interactive areas/community discussion boards that are off Our Site.

Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies

As You navigate Your way through and interact with Our Site, We may use automatic data collection technologies to collect:

  • Information about Your computer and internet connection such as Your Internet protocol (“IP”) address assigned to Your computer, Your internet service provider, Your operating system, Your location, and Your browser accessing the Site.
  • Information about Your visits to Our Site, including specific pages that You access on the Site or prior to or after visiting the Site, the content of undeleted cookies Your browser accepted from Us, the length of time You spend at the Site, and referring website addresses.

The information We collect automatically will not include personally identifiable information. We use this data as statistical data for purposes including estimating Our audience size and usage patterns, and determining popular areas of the Site. This statistical data helps Us to improve Our Site, provide a better user experience and a better service that is more customized to Our audience. To the extent that You voluntarily provide personally identifiable information to Us, We may connect this information to personally or non-personally identifiable information about You that You provide to Us or We collect from other sources.

Information We collect through automatic data collection technologies may be provided to Us by Our third party Contractors. For example, as with many other websites, Our Contractors include Google Analytics for Site analytics. Additional analytics may come from companies including Our Site’s web hosting company, Liquid Web, as well as Our email communications companies, Aweber and SendGrid.

      • Technologies We use for automatic data collection may include:

     

    • Cookies
      Like other commercial websites, Our Site uses a standard technology called “cookies”. Cookies are small information files stored by Your web browser on Your device’s hard drive when You visit a website. Cookies allow for the collection of non-personally identifiable information.      Our Site may send one or more cookies to Your hard drive to enable Us to enhance Your user experience with the Site by storing user preferences and tracking user trends. You may refuse to accept cookies by adjusting the settings on Your browser or internet security program accordingly. If You disable cookies, You may not be able to access the full functionality of Our Site.
    • Pixels / Web Beacons
      Like other commercial websites, Our Site and emails use a standard technology called “pixels” or “pixel tags” or “web beacons”. These are small electronic files that trigger a cookie and permit Us to track how many users have visited specific pages or gather other statistics such as email opens (via Our current Contractor, Aweber).      We may also use this technology in the form of social media pixels (e.g. using the Facebook pixel on Our Site). These pixels allow social media sites to track their visitors to outside websites like Our Site so they can tailor the advertising messages their users see while visiting their site. These pixels also allow Us to develop, improve and target Our promotional messaging to You both on Our Site and social media sites. We reserve the right to use these technologies in compliance with the policies of the various social media sites. For more information on social media advertising and tracking, as well as opting-out, please see the “Advertising” sub-section below.

Third Party Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technology

Our Site may contain links to other websites and We may include or offer third party products or services via links, affiliate links or advertisements. The third parties being linked to or serving the content, applications or advertisements may use tracking methods, including cookies, to collect information about You when You use Our website, including how You view or interact with their offers or advertisements. The information third parties collect may be associated with Your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about Your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide You with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.

We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. This Privacy Policy does not apply to and We are not responsible or liable for the content or privacy practices of other companies or other websites. Their privacy policies may differ from Our own. You acknowledge that Your use of and access to other websites that You click through to from Our Site is solely at Your risk. It is Your responsibility to check the privacy notices of these websites to see how they treat Your information. If You have any questions about advertisements or other linked content, You should contact the responsible provider directly. You should also review the “Advertising” sub-section below.

Google Analytics

Google requires that We inform You of the Google Analytics features that We use and how We use them, even if the information may be repetitive from what is already listed in this Policy.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. The data they collect is shared with other Google services (e.g., YouTube, which We also use). Google may use that collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

Google Analytics provides Us information on how You interact with and use Our Site. This data does not identify You, but it may provide Us with key demographic information such as age, gender, and other information about Our visitors and subscribers. This feature also provides Us with data on how long Our visitors and subscribers use Our Site, which pages they use most, and how they found Our Site. We may also use the Google Analytics service for marketing the Site and for placing advertising that is targeted to You on the Site and other sites that You visit.

When You visit Our Site, Google Analytics plants a cookie on Your web browser to identify You as a unique user during subsequent visits to Our Site. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing You by disabling cookies in Your browser. You can learn more about how Google collects and uses data here, and their privacy practices here.

HOW WILL WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

We and Our Contractors may use information We collect about You to:

  • provide customer support
  • manage Your account
  • improve the Site, Site traffic and user experience, as well as content, materials, and services that We make available on the Site
  • deliver the products and services You request and that We think You want most
  • allow You to participate in Our interactive features when you choose to do so
  • communicate with You via email and other methods
  • provide You with educational and general information, as well as offers and promotions about other goods, services and events which We offer that are similar to those that You have already purchased or enquired about unless You have opted not to receive such information
  • display advertising and content tailored to You on Our Site and other sites that You visit to remind You about Us (via Google Analytics, Facebook pixels and/or other services), including remarketing and retargeting Our Site, products, and services on other websites after You have visited Our Site (including advertising on Facebook and creating Facebook Lookalike Audiences)
  • detect, prevent and address technical issues, and
  • perform other functions or those described to You when You submit Your information.

We and Our Contractors may store information We collect about You for as long as is necessary for the purposes indicated in this Privacy Policy. We may also store this information to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable laws, Our legal obligations, and to enforce Our Terms of Use.

Emails and Communications
When You submit Your email address to Us, You agree to receive email from Us. We use email to stay in touch with You and provide You with educational information, offers and promotions. We only send emails to people that have authorized Us to contact them, either directly, or through a third party. We do not send unsolicited commercial emails. We are strongly opposed to spam (unauthorized commercial email delivery). Here is a link to the anti-spam policy for Aweber, the Contractor that collects and distributes Our newsletters and email communications.

If You have signed up to receive Our electronic communications and later wish to opt-out from receiving further emails, You may make this change at any time by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link provided at the bottom of Our emails.

We are committed to keeping Your e-mail address confidential. We will not sell, rent, or lease Your email address to third parties, and will not disclose Your email address to any third parties except as allowed in the “Disclosure of Your Information” section of this Policy. By submitting Your email address, You agree to allow Us to use Your email address for custom audience targeting on sites like Facebook, where We display custom advertising to specific people who have opted-in to receive communications from Us. For more information on social media advertising and tracking, as well as opting-out, see this Policy’s “Advertising” sub-section.

We will maintain the information You send via e-mail in accordance with applicable federal law. We may retain the content of Your email messages together with Your email address and Our responses.

Advertising

After visiting Our Site, You may see Our advertising on sites such as social media sites including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. This type of marketing that is tailored and targeted to You off of Our Site is sometimes referred to as remarketing or retargeting. Similar to other commercial websites, to accomplish this, We may use technology such as cookies, pixels, and/or Your email address. Any data that is shared with social media companies is only shared for this type of marketing on Our behalf and the companies using it are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. This data allows Us to improve Our marketing services by showing You Our ads on their sites and having Our ads presented to new audiences based on similar interests to Yours.

For example, Facebook and/or Instagram would link data collected via Us with Your account on their platform, allowing Us to serve You with advertisements on their platform. They call this Custom Audience targeting. They call the similar audience that they would deliver Our ads to a Lookalike Audience.

By using Our Site and agreeing to this Privacy Policy, You are giving Your consent for Your data to be used for the marketing purposes described within this section.

HOW DO WE PROTECT INFORMATION COLLECTED ABOUT YOU?

Data protection is a high priority for JDCOT. We have put in place security measures (including physical, electronic, and corporate practices) to safeguard the storage and communication of the information You provide to Us and the information We collect automatically. These security measures include but are not limited to: working only with reputable third-party vendor Contractors, using password protected directories and databases to safeguard Your information, and SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to ensure that Your information is fully encrypted and sent across the Internet securely. We use the much-trusted PayPal and Stripe to handle financial transactions so that Your financial information is securely stored and encrypted by them. After a financial transaction on the Site, Your financial information will not be stored on Our servers. Only authorized employees and contractors are permitted access to Your information, and only for appropriate use such as providing service to You or managing Your account. Information is sent via encrypted channels and firewalls are in place to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access.

The safety and security of Your information also depends on You. You are responsible for keeping Your passwords for accessing password-protected parts of Our Site confidential, whether You created the passwords or We gave them to You. We ask You not to share Your password with anyone. This also applies to passwords for any online community we offer that is not located on Our Site.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. For example, email is not even recognized as a secure medium of communication. Although We have taken these and other steps, We do not covenant or guarantee that Your information will always remain secure from cyber-attack, other criminal events, or any circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures either at Our Site or those of Our Contractors. For any and all of these reasons, any transmission of personal information is at Your own risk.

LOCATION OF THIS SITE

This Site is hosted and operated in the United States. However, We and Our Contractors may, in Our effort to provide the Site, store Your information, including personal information, in the United States, or We may transfer it to, and store it within, other countries.

Those who access or use the Site from jurisdictions outside the United States do so at their own choice and risk and are solely responsible for compliance with local law. If You are not a resident of the United States, You acknowledge and agree that We may collect and use personal information about You outside Your home jurisdiction, and that We may store personal information about You in the United States or elsewhere.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Please note that the level of legal protection provided in the United States or other non-European countries from which You may access Our Site may not be as stringent as the standards under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the privacy laws of some other countries, possibly including Your home jurisdiction.

YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)

If You are within the European Economic Area (EEA), You are entitled to certain information and have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We aim to take reasonable steps to allow You to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of Your personal data. We may ask You to verify Your identity before responding to any such requests.

In certain circumstances, Your rights include:

  • The right to be informed of what information We have about You by contacting us.
  • The right to access, update, rectify or delete the information We have about You.
    When possible, You can take this action Yourself. For example, You can Unsubscribe yourself from Our emails and edit which of Our email lists You participate in via links at the bottom of Our emails. As another example, You can change Your own password for logging in to the Site. When You can not perform these actions Yourself, please contact Us to request help.
  • The right to object to and seek restrictions on Our processing of Your data.
  • The right to the portability of Your data.
    You have the right to be provided with a copy of the information We have about You in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
  • The right to withdraw consent.
    For situations where We relied on Your consent for the processing of Your personal data, You have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
  • The right to lodge a complaint about Our collection and use of Your personal data with a supervisory authority that has jurisdiction over issues related to the GDPR.

We require only the information that is reasonably required to enter into a contract with You. We will retain any information You choose to provide to us until the earlier of: You asking us to delete the information, Our changing to a different data provider, or Our deciding that the value in retaining the data is outweighed by the costs of retaining it.

What Legal Basis Does JDCOT Have For Collecting & Processing Your Information?

If You are in the European Economic Area (EEA), Our Site must have a legal basis for collecting and processing Your personal information. Our legal basis is as follows:

  • Your consent
    As stated above, for situations where We relied on Your consent for the processing of Your personal data, You have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. In some cases, such as Our email communications, You can withdraw consent Yourself via the links at the bottom of each email. When You are unable to withdraw consent Yourself, You can do so by contacting Us via the form on Our Contact page.
  • Contracts
    To complete a new contract or fulfill an existing contract, personal data processing is necessary. For example, when You purchase a product or service on Our Site, that transaction forms a contact between Us and You. We then need to fulfill that contract by providing You with access to the product or service and all that comes with it. The pre-contractual sales process may also require the processing of personal data when, for example, You request more information from Us and We then communicate with You.
  • Legitimate interest
    A legitimate interest for processing Your personal information exists when You submit the information with the reasonable expectation that it will be processed and there is no undue impact on You that would override Our interests. We have a legitimate interest in, amongst other things, sending You information that You request, providing responses to Your questions, direct marketing to You, market research, network security, fraud prevention, and providing You with access to the Site and its features.

For more information with respect to GDPR, please contact Your local data protection authority in the European Economic Area (EEA).
