What information do we collect?
We collect two types of information personally identifiable information and anonymous information. Generally speaking, you can visit this website without identifying who you are or revealing any information about yourself.
Personally identifiable information is information that specifically identifies a particular user such as name, email address or phone number.
Anonymous information is information that cannot be connected to the identity of a specific individual. For example, a site may record the number of visits to a particular page that occur in a given period of time, but that does not necessarily provide the names or other identifying information of each visitor.
When you subscribe to our newsletter, place an order for our services, or enroll in one of our courses, we collect certain information to process your request for information and/or services.
What are cookies and how are they used?
Cookies are small data files, typically made up of a string of text, that assign you a unique identifier. This information enables our website to receive information from your computer to provide a more tailored and user-friendly experience for you. For example, if you login to our site we may be able to personalize your experience by recognizing your name when you return to the site, save your login and your password, or enable a shopping cart. Our newsletters may use cookies to measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts (for example, tracking the clicks on the links in our emails and newsletters) or we may use cookies to determine the number of times website visitors have accessed a particular area or page on the website. Most web browsers have a function that allows you to delete existing cookies on your device or you can set your browser option so that your device does not receive or except cookies.
How do we use the information we collect?
