XII. PLAIN ENGLISH
Hello - Susan here, with a personal note. In this section I’ll speak as myself, and in this part, “I” and “we” are interchangeable. Here is a list of the services I use, with links to their privacy policies. You're involved with the following because of my relationship with them.
MAILCHIMP: This is my mailing program. They use your name and email address to send you my newsletters and any other mailings I send out to people on my list. They also track opens and clicks so I can determine what’s working and what isn’t. You may access their privacy policy here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/ .
When people download offerings from my website and give me an email address in exchange for said offerings, I add them to the above mailing program and include them in my mailings, which are intended to keep me in contact with self-selected people I can best serve and inform about my programs to invite them to participate.
I also add people to that list when they purchase a service, program, or product from me. Please UNSUBSCRIBE at any time you do not wish to receive my emails, a link for which is provided at the bottom of each one. It very clearly says, "unsubscribe from this list."
THINKIFIC: I offer my mindfulness course, Resource Your Life with the Magic of Mindfulness on the Thinkific Platform. In order to view a free sample lesson, students will need to enter their name and email address. I use this information to let interested parties know if I'm updating the course or any other important information that will affect their enrollment or participation.
If you purchase this course, PayPal becomes involved, and you will need to give both Thinkific and PayPal your information to receive the lessons you sign up for.
You may access Thinkific’s Privacy Policy here: https://www.thinkific.com/privacy-policy/ .
SHOOTPROOF: This is my gallery share site platform. I use it to upload images from private photography sessions for clients to proof and download.
You may access Shootproof’s Privacy Policy here: https://www.shootproof.com/legal/privacy-policy/ .
FACEBOOK: I use pixels that allow them to track who visits my website in response to my ads so that I can retarget ads accordingly. You may access Facebook’s Privacy Policy here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/FB_Work_Privacy .
PAYPAL: PayPal sends me the information of people who pay for my services or programs. They provide their name and address and amount spent. I do nothing with any of this, other than archive the email the information came in. You may access Paypal’s Privacy Policy here: https://www.paypal.com/ca/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full .
STRIPE: Like PayPal, Stripe sends me the information of the people who pay for my coaching services. I archive these emails and that's that. You may access Stripe's Privacy Policy here: https://stripe.com/privacy .
