How We Collect Information

We may collect information as you navigate through the Site, or if you choose to submit content on the Site, or complete forms on the Site where information is requested. For example, we may allow you to book an appointment with a team member through a third-party provider (e.g., calendly.com). To do so, you must complete a form and provide your name and email address to us. Any personal information that you submit can be read, collected, and used by us or such third-party providers. We are not responsible for the personal information you choose to submit.

We automatically collect data using technologies such as cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device to allow the Site to recognize you or your device, to help provide functionality, and allow us to analyze Site usage. You may choose to decline or disable cookies or similar tracking technologies through your browser or other tools but doing so may affect your ability to access or use certain features of the Site or certain Services.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to improve our Services, improve our marketing, and respond to your submissions and inquiries to us.

Disclosure and Retention of Your Information

We do not sell or market your personal data. However, nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to restrict our use or sharing of aggregated or de-identified data in any way. Additionally, we may disclose information that you submit to us, including personal data that you choose to submit to us, to contractors, service providers, and other third-party companies we contract with, such as software providers whose software is used to support the Site. Such third-party software providers may have their own privacy policies and security procedures which we cannot control, and we are not responsible for their policies or procedures. To the extent required to do so, we may preserve and disclose your personal data to comply with any court order, applicable law or other legal process. We retain personal data for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose for which it was obtained and consistent with applicable law.

Data Security and Integrity

We are the data controller of any personal data collected through the Site, and we are responsible for the processing of your personal data. We take reasonable steps to protect the personal data provided through the Services from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These steps include internal reviews of our data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures, and employing physical, technical, and administrative security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. We also restrict access to personal data to our employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, or improve our Services.

No Internet or email transmission, however, is ever fully secure or error free. We attempt to ensure that any information transmitted by you to us through the Site is secure, although we cannot guarantee such transmissions, and when you submit information to us through the Site, you do so at your own risk. In the event of a data breach, it is possible that your information could be disclosed to unauthorized persons. If you use the Site, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for any breaches of privacy concerning your personal data. If we determine that your personal data has been compromised in any way, we may notify you as soon as possible by email, if we have your email address, or any other method in which you wish to be contacted.

The Site is intended for users who are 18 years of age and older. If you are under 18, do not use this Site, and do not submit any information to us through the Site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from users who are under 18. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at info@guildswithbenefits.com.
