Privacy Policy – The Training Notebook

Privacy Policy

We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. The Training Notebook, Inc., (“The Training Notebook”, “we,” “our,” or “us”) is strongly committed to protecting and respecting your privacy rights. This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) relates to the information collection and use practices of The Training Notebook in connection with our website located at https://www.thetrainingnotebook.com/ and our mobile app (collectively, the “Site”) and our Services.

Description of Users and Acceptance of Terms

This Privacy Policy applies to visitors to the Site, who view only publicly-available content (the “Visitors”) and subscribers who have signed up to access and use the Services (the “Subscribers”).

By accessing the Site and/or using the Services (whether through a Paid Subscription or as a Free Trial), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by this Privacy Policy as well as our Terms of Service at https://www.thetrainingnotebook.com/Terms_of_Services (“Terms of Service”), which are hereby incorporated by reference (collectively, the “Agreement”). If you do not agree to any terms of the Agreement, please do not use the Site or the Services.

Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning set forth in our Terms of Service.

The information we collect and/or receive

In the course of operating the Site, and the Services, and/or interacting with you, The Training Notebook will collect (and/or receive) the following types of information.

Contact Information

When you contact us through the “Contact Us” page, register to become a Subscriber, or connect with us through Facebook or a social media page, you will be asked to provide certain information which may include first name, last name, e-mail address, country, city and User ID (“Contact Information”). We do not collect any Contact Information from you when you use our Site unless you provide us with the Contact Information voluntarily (for example, by creating an account with The Training Notebook, sending us an e-mail, or interacting with us via our social media pages, such as through Facebook). While we shall use your information pursuant to this Privacy Policy, the use of social media networks (e.g., to login to your The Training Notebook account) is also subject to such social media networks’ own terms of use and privacy policies. The Contact Information is used to provide the requested service or information, and to contact Subscribers and Visitors for purposes of direct marketing of our current and future services.
Billing Information

In order to purchase a Subscription to our Services, you may be required to provide certain additional information which may include a credit card number, expiration date, billing address and zip code, verification code, and similar information (“Billing Information”). Such Billing Information will be collected and processed by our third-party payment vendor pursuant to the terms and conditions of their privacy policies and terms of use, and we do not obtain access to any Billing Information.
Other Information

In addition to the Contact Information, we may collect or receive the following information (collectively, the “Other Information”):
- From Your Activity
  - In an ongoing effort to improve the Site, and the Services, we automatically collect certain information when Visitors visit the Site, and when Subscribers use the Services. This information consists of IP addresses, browser type and language, referring and exit pages and URLs, date and time, amount of time spent on particular pages, what sections of the Site Visitors visit, and similar information concerning your use of the Site, and the Services.
  - information about a mobile device, including universally unique ID (“UUID”), platform type and version (e.g., iOS or Android), carrier and country location, hardware and processor information, and network type.
  - In order to market our current and future Services to you while you are using a mobile device, we may, with your consent, automatically collect geolocational information from your mobile device or wireless carrier and/or certain third-party service providers. Such information is collectively called the “Geolocational Information.” Collection of such Geolocational Information occurs only when the Site is running on your mobile device. You may decline to allow us to collect such Geolocational Information, in which case we may not be able to provide certain features or functionalities to you.
- From Cookies
  We also collect information by using “cookie” technology. Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device to “remember” information about your visit. We may use session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer/device until you delete them). If you do not want us to place a cookie on your hard drive, you may be able to turn that feature off on your computer or mobile device. Please consult your Internet browser’s documentation for information on how to do this and how to delete persistent cookies. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from us, the Site, and the Services may not function properly.
- Third-Party Analytics
  We use one or more third–party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to evaluate your use of the Site, and the Services, compile reports on activity (based on their collection of IP addresses, Internet service provider, browser type, operating system and language, referring and exit pages and URLs, data and time, amount of time spent on particular pages, what sections of the Site you visit, number of links clicked while on the Site, search terms and other similar usage data), and analyze performance metrics. These third parties use cookies and other technologies to help analyze and provide us the data. By accessing and using the Site, and/or the Services, you consent to the processing of data about you by these analytics providers in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. For more information on these third parties, including how to opt out from certain data collection, please visit the sites below.

We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our Site and Services to current and prospective business partners and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
We may share Information with or to other companies, who may provide you information about the products and services they or their partners offer. However, to the extent required by law, you will be given the opportunity to opt-out of such sharing.

How we protect your information

We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
