PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: August 2024
This privacy policy is designed to help you understand how PEMF PURA VIDA collects, uses, and shares your personal information and to help you understand and exercise your privacy rights.
Scope:
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by us on our Website (our “website”) www.pemfpuravida.world and/or other social media affiliations, mobile applications, and related services and offerings. By visiting our Website or accessing our Programs or Offerings, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into our Terms of Use, Terms of Service, or other agreement (our “Terms”) governing the use of our Offerings.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy shall l have the meaning ascribed to them in our Terms.
A. Personal Information Collected
We, our contractors, and third party Program hosts/platforms, may collect and store any information you choose to put in an e-mail, contact form, or comment you send us (or them) or to set up an account (e.g., name, e-mail address, telephone number, mailing address). Our Website does not collect or store full payment information (but may store partial, truncated credit card numbers), for which you will be directed to a payment contractor. We, and/or our contractors, also collect data on how our Website and Programs are used and its/their visitors/users: for example, number of page visits and duration, type of browser, visitors’ devices’ Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses (which include general location). Some “usage data” comes through “cookies” (basically small data files sent to your device when visiting our Website or Programs) and other technologies (we’ll refer to them collectively as “cookies” for convenience), as described below. Our Website, and Programs, are not meant to collect information that may be considered “sensitive” (as various jurisdictions may use the term), nor any personal information from anyone under age 18. If nonetheless you know of potentially sensitive information, or children’s information, collected through our Website or a Program, please contact us at [email protected].
B. Use of Personal Information
We use your personal information to reply to messages you send us via e-mail. SMS, or otherwise, including comments, to process your transactions with us, to otherwise correspond with you, and other legitimate business purposes such as security and fraud prevention. Also, if you subscribe to our blog, or agree when signing up for any of our Programs, we’ll put your name and e-mail address and other contact information you provide on our notices list(s), so that you get e-mail notice of future blog posts and announcements, including marketing communications, from us. (You can unsubscribe by clicking “unsubscribe” when you receive a marketing e-mail, or at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
As do most websites, ours uses cookies. Some are necessary for the Website to operate, others we use to help improve and secure our Website, others help us learn about and market to our visitors. If you visit our Website from outside the United States, we expect our cookie management vendor to block non-essential cookies by default (with your option to grant consent via the cookie banner). Please see also the cookie policies of our contractors and Programs’ third party hosts/platforms.
Regardless of your location, you may also manage certain (non-essential) cookies by adjusting your browser settings. Do Not Track (“DNT”) is an optional setting in a web browser that expresses a preference that websites not track your on-line behaviour elsewhere. We expect our cookie management vendor to respect DNT and Global Privacy Control browser settings for visitors to our Website. (If you have cookie-blocking browser settings, our Website’s cookie banner may not show for you).
Particularly given the limited amount and type of information and data collected through our Website, and our Programs, we may or may not have identified all possible uses, or restricted contractors’ or third party Program hosts/platforms (see Section E, below) own use or disclosure of information or data. We are not responsible for the conduct or policies of our contractors (or their subcontractors) or of third party Program hosts/platforms, and we urge Website visitors and Program Participants to familiarize themselves with those policies.
C. Retention of Personal Information
We retain your personal information for no longer than is necessary for the purposes listed in this Privacy Policy. Specifically, we will retain your personal information for a period of 3 years after your last interaction with us, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. This includes retaining your information to send you blog post notices and other communications we hope will be of interest to you (unless you’ve unsubscribed), to manage your current and potential future Program access and address your questions, collect and monitor traffic and other usage statistics at our Website, monitor and improve our Offerings, and to comply with our accounting and legal obligations.
D. Transfer of Personal Information
We may store or process your data outside your city, province, state, or country, including through one of our contractors (described below). So your personal information may be stored in a jurisdiction that operates under privacy and data protection laws different from (and potentially less protective than) those of your home jurisdiction. When transferring your personal information internationally, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, to protect your data in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
E. Contractor and Third Party Access to Personal Information, Cookies
We may disclose personal information to attorneys or law enforcement authorities to address contract violations or illegal behaviour, or to enforce our rights only when required by law or with your explicit consent. We disclose information demanded in a court order, subpoena, or otherwise required by law, or to prevent harm to persons or property. And we may share personal information in connection with a corporate transaction, like a merger or sale of our company, the sale of most of our assets, or a bankruptcy.
As described in this Policy, our contractors and third parties (and their subcontractors) help us with Website and Program hosting and storage, security and fraud prevention, monitoring Website and Program use, communicating with and marketing to Website users, prospective Students, Practitioners and Program Participants, payment processing, and distance learning Offerings. We change contractors and third parties, and their roles, from time to time.
We engage with third party hosts/platforms to host our Programs including recording (if offered), process payments, and market and otherwise communicate with you regarding our Programs (for example, e-mails and SMS). Information you provide (such as your name and e-mail address) or that is passively gathered on-line when you register, and pay, will be disclosed to (or may be gathered directly by) the applicable third party, and can be used (and disclosed) by them in accordance with their terms and policies (such as their terms of use and privacy policies). You are urged to familiarize yourself with those terms and policies (and ours) before accessing our Offerings. You agree we are not responsible for such third parties, their procedures, or their policies, nor those of any other third party with which you may (if/where available) opt to register (such as a program not presented by or solely by us but at which any of our representatives speak), sync a registration, “like” or “follow” us, or otherwise engage with or about us (for example, social media providers such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram). Unless specified when registering, syncing with and/or registering via social media providers is not required to access our Programs.
Certain contractors (and their subcontractors), and third party Program hosts/platforms, can access data we collect (or they collect as a result of our – or your independent — relationship with them), including personal information, some via cookies. With respect to cookies, you may be able to adjust your browser settings to notify you of cookies, or to refuse cookies. (It’s possible that if you don’t accept certain cookies, you may not be able to make as efficient or complete use of some websites. Do reach out if you are unable to access something you need from our Website, or seem unable to complete a transaction with us).
Third-Party Providers.
The Services may give you the option to link your accounts on third-party platforms or use those platforms via our Services (e.g., payment, calendar and scheduling services) (collectively, “Third-Party Providers”) and we may import relevant Personal Information from those Third-Party Providers. This linking is entirely optional and subject to the consent you provide to either us or to the Third Party, but may enable a richer and more effective user experience. If you do link such accounts, you acknowledge and agree that we, via the Services, will receive PersonalInformation from such Third-Party Providers.
Access to Learning Resources & Payment Contractors.
Our Website (including blog posts and pages), and e-mail communications, include links by which to register for certain distance learning Programs, for which contact and payment information is collected by a payment contractor, and contact and usage information is collected by or shared with the third party host/platform. Our distance learning offerings are hosted by one or more contractors, or third party hosts/platforms with which you have an independent account/relationship. Payments are processed by other contractors (as described above). Links to further information about those contractors or third parties is available upon enrolling in a Program; we urge you to review those prior to enrolling.
Automatic Data Collection.
We, or our third-party partners, may collect personal information and de-identified information automatically when you use our Services, such as your Internet protocol (IP) address, user agent string (e.g., browser or device information), user settings, actions taken on the Services, browser or device information, location information (including approximate location at derived from IP address or, as applicable, as otherwise allowed via your consent through the device’s operating system), and Internet service provider, for purposes such as analytics, machine-learning, security, and otherwise providing more streamlined/optimized, personalized, or relevant features and functionality on the Services. This information is collected via various technologies, including mobile SDKs, pixels or cookies on our websites, or server logs, which may be provided by us or our third-party partners (e.g.,Google Analytics, Amplitude, New Relic). Cookies are identifiers that we transfer to your device to enable our system to recognize you and your personalized settings, to better understand how you interact with the Services, to monitor aggregate usage, and to optimize web traffic routing on our website. You may be able to disable or limit the use of cookies in your browser or device settings, but please note that certain parts or features of the Services may not be fully functional if you do so.
F. Protection of Personal Information
We store information you send us via e-mail and through contact and course registration forms (such as your contact information, for example name, e-mail address, telephone number, mailing address). We keep that information on password-protected computers and share it with trusted contractors. We do not directly store the personal information that may be included in usage data collected by cookies and other mechanisms at our Website (with exceptions described below). Data we don’t store ourselves is collected and stored by our contractors and third party hosts/platforms, under their policies and procedures. See Section E above for information about contractors and third parties, and their policies. We implement reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security during transmission and storage. Our Website and Programs and other Offerings are offered “As Is.”
G. Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Information
You can access, update, correct, or delete your personal information we store about you by e-mailing us at [email protected]. Additionally, you have the right to object to or restrict certain types of processing of your personal information, and to request a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
H. Data Privacy Laws
We provide this Policy describing the processing of personal information in the interest of transparency to users of our Offerings, including Website users and Program Participants. Doing so is not intended to suggest, and does not mean that, legal responsibilities apply to us that would not otherwise. Standards for personal information are not the same in all jurisdictions, inside and outside and among the United States, and are rapidly evolving and complex. Simply put, not all laws, including collection notice requirements, apply to all entities, individuals, or information, in all locations, or in all circumstances. Individuals in certain jurisdictions, inside and outside the United States, have certain rights when entities governed by those laws process their “personal data” or “personal information” (for example, pursuant to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), PIPEDA and other international and U.S. State and federal laws, where applicable). (Depending on the jurisdiction, and subject to various limitations, such rights may include, for example, to access/obtain a copy, update/correct, or delete it; to object to/opt-out of certain processing (or not allow certain processing without consent); to complain to a data protection authority; entities which the CCPA defines as a “business” have special obligations to Californians including more detailed notices than this, and if personal information is “sold,” or “shared” (meaning for certain behavioural advertising) the opportunity to opt-out).
We are a (currently) small entity with modest types and amounts of personal data processing, that does not “target” internationally, and that does not receive monetary compensation when disclosing personal data as described in this Policy. We believe therefore that we do not fall within most, if any, of such laws’ pre-requisites for coverage. This includes, without limitation, we do not currently satisfy the threshold to be regulated as a CCPA “business,” or as a “controller” pursuant to U.S. state privacy laws adopted to date. And terms used in this Policy (for example, contractor, third party) are intended as generally understood, not as specially defined in a particular law.
If however you believe you have legal rights you wish to exercise regarding your personal data, that are not addressed in this Policy, contact us at [email protected]. We strive to evaluate such requests and comply to the extent required of us under then-applicable law, and may request that you identify the law you believe applies to you.
And, as noted above you can access and change contact information we store about you by e-mailing us, and can opt out of our marketing communications by emailing us or clicking “unsubscribe” on any e-mail.
I. Amendment
You recognize that visiting the Website, and enrolling in or attending a Program, or using any other of our Offering(s), does not restrict our rights to revise our terms and policies. We may change our Terms and/or Privacy Policy at any time by posting a new version on this page or on a successor page. The new version will become effective on the date posted, which will be listed at the top of the page as the new Effective Date. Each time the Website or a Program is accessed, Website visitors/Participants are offered the opportunity to view the then-current Terms and Privacy Policy, and by agreeing to proceed have accepted and agreed to the then-current Terms and Privacy Policy (including terms and policies incorporated therein). For the avoidance of doubt, we do not accept terms sought to be imposed by customer purchase orders, or otherwise by customers.
