PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION
We collect information so that we can provide the best possible experience when you utilize our services. Much of what you likely consider personal data is collected directly from you when you:
- Register for a training or purchase any of our services (eg: billing information, including name, address, etc.).
- Request assistance from our customer support team (eg: phone number).
- Complete contact forms or request newsletters or other information from us (eg: email).

Account related information is collected in association with your use of our services, such as training dates, purchases, information requests, and customer service requests and notes or details explaining what you asked for and how we responded.
HOW WE USE COLLECTED INFORMATION
We strongly believe in both minimizing the data we collect and limiting its use and purpose to only that: (1) for which we have been given permission, (2) as necessary to deliver the services you purchase or interact with, or (3) as we might be required or permitted for legal compliance or other lawful purposes. We utilize this information to:
- To improve your experience – information you provide helps us respond to your requests and support needs more efficiently.
- To personalize your experience – we may use information in the aggregate to understand and analyze how you use our services and what products and services are most relevant.
- To send periodic emails – we may use your email address to send information and updates and to respond to inquiries, questions, or other requests.
Often, much of the data collected is aggregated or statistical data about how individuals use our Services, and is not linked to any personal data, but to the extent it is itself personal data, or is linked or linkable to personal data, we treat it accordingly.

We do not share, sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others.
