1. What information do we collect from you?

In order to better provide you with Program Content, Materials, and Services, we collect two types of information about our users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our Site and App.

Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. This information may include without limitation your first and last name, email address, physical address for delivery, and your payment information.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based on where you visit our site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the site’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from, which URL you go to next, what browser you are using, what type of device you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address.

The categories of Personal Information we may collect include:

With respect to visitors or account holders/members of the Site or App, we collect the following categories of information from your browser or directly from you when you visit:

• Internet activity, such as your browsing activity on the Site or App, your IP address, cookies, and geolocation data.
• Identifiers if you wish to download certain content such as articles, reports, or guides, in which case you will need to provide your first and last name, and email.
• Professional information if you wish to download certain articles, reports, or guides, in which case you will need to provide additional information like a job title, for example.
• Identifiers such as your name, business phone number, and email.
• Information protected against security breaches such as bank and payment information if we render services to you, depending on how you elect to pay for services rendered.

By providing your mobile phone number to us, you opt-in and consent to receive text messages from us, which include but are not limited to text messages sent through an automatic telephone dialing system. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not required as a condition of using our Site or App. If you do not wish to receive marketing text messages, do not provide us with your mobile phone number.

2. Where do we collect information from you and how do we use it?

We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information to us when you:

1. Register for a User Account;
2. Purchase Content, Programs or request Services through our platform;
3. Sign up for special offerings; or
4. Send e-mail messages, submit resumes, forms, or transmit other information on or through the Site or App.
5. Register for an account on our Directus Community Platforms (Discourse and Discord) and including any personal information you choose to post on the Platforms.

In addition, we may also collect, or our third-party ad server and/or content server may collect, certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our site, and to gather demographic information.

We will use your Personally Identifiable Information to provide our services to you. For example, we will use your payment information to process your Program purchases. We will also use Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the operation of our site and software application, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze Site/App use, improve our product and service offerings, and customize our Site’s and App’s content, layout, and services.

We may use Personally Identifiable Information to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices and regarding product or service offerings that we believe may be of interest to you. You will be given an opportunity to opt out of receiving promotional materials from us. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to assist in dispute resolution, troubleshoot problems, and enforce our agreements with you, including our Site Terms of Use and this Private Policy. While you may opt-out of receiving our promotional communications by taking the measures outlined in such communications, you may not opt-out of receiving administrative communications.

3. With whom do we share your information?

We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others. We may utilize the services of third parties and provide some of our services through contractual arrangements with affiliates, service providers, partners, and other third parties, and to facilitate such arrangements we reserve the right to share with such third parties Personally Identifiable Information. We and our service providers and partners use your Personally Identifiable Information to operate our sites and to deliver our services and Content.

For business and commercial purposes, Directus may disclose to third parties the following categories of Personal Information:

• Identifiers such as your name and email address
• Characteristics of protected classifications under California or Federal law such as gender
• Internet or other electronic activity information such as network activity information, browsing history on the Site, search history on the Site, and your interaction with an advertisement
• Information protected against security breaches like your direct deposit or bank account information so that workers can be paid and Customers can pay us
• Geolocation data
• Professional or employment-related information
• Education information

Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.

We may also provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our customers’ traffic patterns, and related site information to third-party advertisers, but these statistics do not include Personally Identifiable Information.

4. How can you update or correct your Personally Identifiable Information?

Where applicable and where our Sites or Apps allow for it, you may change any of your Personally Identifiable Information in your account online at any time by logging on to your account and editing your information.

We encourage you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if it changes. You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed; however, because we keep track of past transactions, you cannot delete information associated with past transactions on the Site or App. In addition, it may be impossible to completely delete your information without some residual information because of backups.

5. What are your choices regarding the collection, use, and distribution of your information?

We may, from time to time, send you e-mail regarding our services or about the services of affiliates or marketing/advertising partners. In addition, we may occasionally send you direct mail (including e-mail) about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you, such as offers from various providers. You will have the ability to opt out of receiving such communications from us by following the instructions in such communications.

6. What security precautions are in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information?

At our Site you can be assured that your Personally Identifiable Information is secure, consistent with current industry standards. The importance of security for all Personally Identifiable Information associated with our users is of utmost concern to us. Your Personally Identifiable Information is protected in several ways. Your Personally Identifiable Information resides on a secure server that only our selected personnel and contractors have access to via password. We encrypt your Personally Identifiable Information and thereby prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted to us.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet that are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site or App cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.

7. Do we use “cookies”?

When you use our Site or App we may store cookies on your computer or device in order to facilitate and customize your use of our Site/App. A cookie is a small data text file, which a website stores on your device that can later be retrieved to identify you to us. The cookies make your use of the Site/App easier, make the Site/App run more smoothly, and help us to maintain a secure site. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our Site/App may not work properly in that case.

8. Privacy Policy Implications for Specific Jurisdictions.

The Sites are controlled and operated by us from the United States and is not intended to subject us to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the United States.
