When We May Use Or Disclose Your Personal Information

 

We may share aggregate, non-identifying user information with partner companies when a user has requested a service, material or product that uses the services of an outside company. The information given will only be that which is necessary to implement the service or product requested.

Coaching by Bridget uses the information collected from our website in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide information for a certain reason, we may use the information in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by email, we will use the information you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide information about yourself, or have provided (or otherwise permitted our website to access) any Third-Party Data, we will use your information and any such Third-Party Data to provide you with access to our services and to monitor your use of our services.

 

Coaching by Bridget may also use the information we collect through our website to help us in providing the services and support services, processing transactions, fulfilling requests for information, receiving and sending communications, updating marketing lists, analyzing data and research aimed at improving the accuracy, effectiveness, usability or popularity of our website, to personalize the content and advertising that you see on our website and to understand how users interact with and use our services, to associate your activities, customize content or tailor advertising across different device and browsers that you use to access our website (for instance, computers, tablets, mobile devices, applications and websites), to comply with state, local, federal or international laws, to enforce our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, or in assisting with other tasks from time to time.

 

Please note that we may combine information that we collect from you and about you (including automatically collected information) with information we obtain about you from our affiliates and/or non-affiliated third parties and use such combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may also use the information collected from the “Information We Collect” section, such as device identifiers and MAC addresses, to associate users’ activities, customize content, or tailor advertising to those users across different devices and browsers (for instance, tablets, mobile devices and applications, and websites).

Disclosure of Your Information

 

There are certain circumstances in which we may share information collected through our website with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below:

 

Agents, Consultants, Vendors and Related Third Parties. Coaching by Bridget, like many businesses, sometimes hires other companies to perform certain business-related functions on our behalf, and we may provide access to or share your information with these companies so they can perform services for us. Examples of such functions include marketing, mailing information, data storage, security, payment processing, legal services, and maintaining databases.

 

Legal Requirements. Coaching by Bridget may access, disclose, transfer and preserve your information when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to: (1) comply with the law including with subpoenas, search warrants, court orders, and other legal process; and respond to inquiries or requests from government, regulatory, law enforcement, public authorities, or content protection organizations; (2) protect and defend the legal rights, privacy, safety or property of Coaching by Bridget, our affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, agents, contractors, or our clients; (3) permit us to pursue available remedies, commence, participate in, or defend litigation, or limit the damages we may sustain; or (4) enforce this Privacy Policy or any applicable Terms of Service.

 

Your consent. We may share your information if you consent to the sharing of your information.

 

Aggregate and/or De-Identified Information. We may aggregate and/or de-identify your information so that the information no longer relates to you individually. Our use and disclosures of such aggregated or de-identified information is not subject to this Privacy Policy and may be disclosed to others without limitation and for any purpose.

 

Analytics. We may use third-party web analytics services on our website, such as those of Google Analytics. These service providers use the sort of technology previously described in the “Cookies and other electronic technologies” section to help us analyze how users use our website, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive, and provide certain features to you. The information (including your IP address) collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of our website. This information may be used to place interest-based advertisements on our website. This may result in you seeing advertisements for our website when you visit other websites. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here.

 

Advertising

 

We may use third-party advertising technologies that allow for the delivery of relevant content and advertising on our website, as well as on other websites you visit. The ads may be based on various factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, information you enter such as your age and gender, your searches, demographic data, user-generated content, and other information we collect from you. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and across other websites and online services and may be tailored to your interests.

 

Also, third parties whose products or services are accessible or advertised on our website may place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about your use of our website as discussed above. We may also allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Analytics and others) to serve tailored ads to you on our website, other sites, and in other applications, and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access our website. We may provide our customer information (such as a hashed version of your email addresses) to service providers, who may “match” this information in de-identified form to cookies (or mobile ad identifiers) and other proprietary IDs, to target or “retarget” you with ads when you visit other websites and mobile applications. (You may opt out of many of these service providers as described below.)

 

We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access our website by non-affiliated, third-party ad technology, ad servers, ad networks or any other non-affiliated third parties. Those parties that use these technologies may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting as described below.

 

If you receive tailored advertising on your computer through a web browser, you can learn more about such tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page.

 

Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into our website or other websites that you visit, you may still receive advertisements even if you opt-out. In that case, the advertising will not be tailored to your interests. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links or whether any particular company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs. We are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.

We may store your data on servers provided by third party hosting vendors with whom we have contracted.

How We Protect Your Personally Identifiable Information

 

We employ well-established security measures to safeguard our systems and your Personally Identifiable Information. However, we cannot control all the users and activities on our website and elsewhere, and therefore we cannot guarantee that such information will never be compromised.

 

Security

 

We protect your information from potential security breaches by implementing certain technological security measures. However, these measures do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. By using our website, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume this risk.

 

Coaching by Bridget has implemented technical and organizational security measures to protect your Personally Identifiable Information provided via the website from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. For example, limiting access to information only to employees and authorized service providers who need to know such information for the purposes of this Privacy Notice. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, email sent to or from our website may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email or through our website contact form. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any information to Coaching by Bridget via the Internet.
