Privacy Policy

 

SECTION 1 – ABOUT THIS POLICY

This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you of our policies and practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of any Personal Information and Anonymous Information you submit to us through our website and your communications with us.

We hope you take the time to read this policy.  It is important to check back often for updates. If we make changes we consider to be important, we will let you know by placing a notice on the relevant Service and/or contact you using other methods such as email.

SECTION 2 – WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT & WHY

We collect information about you when you send us an email, leave comments or submit a request form but only for the purposes of carrying out our contracted service or contacting you with a reply as requested.  This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, e-mail address, phone number, credit/debit card details and any other details as might be requested from you for the purpose of registration and/or continued use of our Services.

We may also collect information from you if you request information or customer support.

2.1 – CONTACT FORMS

When you send us a contact form request, that information is used solely for the purposes of replying to your message.   The contact form software we use records your data in our website database so it can send us a notification of your correspondence.   Emails are retained on the database for a period of two months, after which they are deleted.

2.2 – ECOMMERCE

When you purchase a product from us we gather some personal information about you – your name, email address, billing address, shipping address and the method of payment you use as well as the amount you paid, you may also add your telephone number to make it easy for us to reach you but that is optional.   If you register an account this information is held within your account and allows you to see the history of your orders from https://debruir.com/my-account.  We need to keep this information on file for taxation and reporting compliance and so we know that you have paid for your product.

We do not hold any payment information or details on this website – we use the third party payment services Paypal and Stripe and both use secure offsite payment methods and we use an SSL security certificate to secure any information transmission to and from our website.

2.3 – EVENTS

When you sign up to our events, we keep a list of your contact details for the purpose of facilitating the class and sending you reminder emails and information about the course.

2.4 – COMMENTS

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service, to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

2.5 – MEDIA

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included.  Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

3.4 – TURNING COOKIES OFF

Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
