This policy applies to customer information we collect when you access, register and/or use TRAINING THINK TANK software or otherwise interact with TRAINING THINK TANK in any manner described below.

By using the TRAINING THINK TANK service or interacting with TRAINING THINK TANK as described below, Users acknowledge that they are aware of this Privacy Policy.

TRAINING THINK TANK reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you by email, on the Hosted Service or by means of a notice on our homepage, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

1. Data Collection.

TRAINING THINK TANK collects email addresses of people who send us email. We also collect information on what pages Users access and information provided to us by Users via surveys and the Registration Process. Such information may contain Personal Data about you including your address, phone numbers and credit card numbers.

The types of information we may collect are as follows:

Contact information, including phone number, email and physical addresses;
Users' credit card numbers;
Account information, such as username and account preferences;
All information associated with your use of the Hosted Service, including your actions taken while using the Hosted Service;

When you complete the Registration Process for the Hosted Service, we ask for your name, email address, billing address and credit card information. Members who sign up for the free account are not required to enter a credit card; however, if you want to enable your checkout process, you must provide your credit card information.

2. Data Use.

2.1 Services. TRAINING THINK TANK will not disclose Personal Data without that User's written permission. However, certain Personal Data collected from you, and about you, is used within the context of providing the Hosted Service to you.

TRAINING THINK TANK uses Personal Data to authorize Users' access to TRAINING THINK TANK services, to provide customer support, to manage Users' accounts, and send Users technical notices, updates, security alerts and support and administrative messages. TRAINING THINK TANK may share your Personal Data in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of TRAINING THINK TANK's Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.

TRAINING THINK TANK may also carry out any other purpose for which the data was collected, to the extent such purpose is necessarily contemplated by the collection of such information or as otherwise notified in the Hosted Service at the time of collection.

TRAINING THINK TANK uses 3rd party services to help us provide the Hosted Service effectively (e.g. maintenance, analysis, audit, transactions, archiving, and marketing and development). These 3rd party services will have access to Users' Personal Data as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on the behalf of TRAINING THINK TANK and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

2.2 Communications. TRAINING THINK TANK will avail itself of Users' email addresses to get in contact with those Users.

As part of the buying and selling process on the Hosted Service, the business from which you are purchasing a product or service will receive your email address and/or shipping address. With respect to your Personal Data, TRAINING THINK TANK grants a license to that business to use the information only for Hosted Service-related communications that are not unsolicited commercial messages.

2.3 Advertising. TRAINING THINK TANK targets, and measures the performance of, ads to Users, visitors and others both on and off the Hosted Service directly or through a variety of partners. TRAINING THINK TANK is using data from advertising technologies on and off the Hosted service, like cookies and session information.

2.4 Cookies. A cookie is a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a Web site and stored on your computer's hard drive. Every computer that accesses our Web site is assigned a different cookie by us.

Cookies can be used to track Users' and visitors' sessions on our Web site and to serve customized ads from Google and other 3rd party vendors. When you visit this Web site, you may view advertisements posted on the site by Google or other 3rd parties. Through 1st party and 3rd party cookies, these 3rd parties may collect information about you while you are visiting this Web site and other Web sites. They may use this data to show you advertisements on this Web site and across the Internet based on your prior visits to this Web site and elsewhere on the Internet. We do not collect this information or control the content of the advertisements that you will see.

You may be able to opt out of customized Google Display Network ads by visiting the Ads Preferences Manager (https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/), and the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (https://www.google.ca/ads/preferences/plugin/). In addition, you can opt-out of all remarketing, including AdRoll's, by using the NAI Consumer Opt Out service (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/#!/).

We use a service provided by Google called Google Analytics ("GA") as well as AdRoll. GA and AdRoll permit us to reach people who have previously visited our site and show them relevant advertisements when they visit other sites across the Internet in the Google Display Network. This is often called 'remarketing'.

Your use of the TRAINING THINK TANK website without opting out means that you understand and agree to data collection to provide you with remarketing ads using GA and cookies from other 3rd party vendors based on your prior visits to this website and elsewhere on the Internet.

5. User Choices and Obligations.

5.1 Data Retention. TRAINING THINK TANK utilizes data retention controls that allow a User to choose from several options how long TRAINING THINK TANK may retain that User's Personal Data. The period of time will begin to run from the time the User no longer has any active subscriptions through TRAINING THINK TANK and the User has not logged into his/her TRAINING THINK TANK account. The User may make this selection during the Registration Process or at any time after that. If you choose to not set a period limit for data retention, TRAINING THINK TANK will retain basic account information and information about performed transactions for at least 5 years after an account is closed in accordance with our record keeping obligations.

5.2 Accessing and Controlling Your Personal Data. Regarding your personal data, you have the following options:

Delete Data: You can request deletion of some or all of your personal data that TRAINING THINK TANK has access to. TRAINING THINK TANK will delete all data except that for which it has a legal obligation to retain.
