Privacy Policy

Who are we?

Our website is https://www.peterronhovde.com, which is owned and maintained by Peter Ronhovde.

What personal data do we collect and why we do collect it?

When users sign up for a newsletter or create a local account, our system collects and stores any personal data for purposes of validating the user as a human agent, payment or refund processing, controlling user access to paid or otherwise gated content, preventing fraudulent transactions or spam, tracking user interests related to our content, responding to user inquiries, administrating the user's account, processing suggestions or complaints, tax law compliance, comments and reviews on our site, and other uses relevant to our site and content.

NO PERSONAL DATA WILL BE SHARED WITH OR SOLD TO A THIRD PARTY ENTITY FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. If the company is sold in its entirety, any current users will be notified beforehand by their stored email address and given an option to delete or retain their data within a reasonable period of time.

Basically we’re trying to run a business, and we need to utilize your personal data to facilitate the various aspects of that process to provide users with a positive experience.

IF AT ANY TIME, YOU WISH FOR US TO DELETE YOUR PERSONAL DATA, please use a site contact form and let us know, and we will remove the data to the fullest extent allowed by law. In this case, your account number and cancellation date without any other personally identifiable data may be retained to ensure that any backups of the personal data are further purged if discovered at a later time.

You may also use a contact form to request a record of any data we have stored on you and your account or to request an amendment of your personal data.

Specific information collected may include your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, content interests, credit/debit card payment details along with prior transactions, IP address (which may contain user location information), browser type, any other data relevant to maintaining and/or facilitating your interaction with the site and its content and offerings.

Information may be collected during account setup, purchase opportunities, forms, preferences in account setup or management, cookies, surveys, course registrations, newsletter signups, website analytics, posted comments, physical or email correspondence, etc.

Location information is required to comply with tax laws and to track shipping costs for any physical merchandise, but it may also be used to identify potential fraudulent use of the site not in accordance with our terms of service. (Spammers make like difficult for all of us.)

Our newsletter(s) will contain targeted content as indicated, but it may occasionally include promotional content, site news, updates, and/or affiliate links relevant to your interests as identified by the site.

Information may be exchanged with third parties with which the site does business for purposes of facilitating and/or tracking any of the above-mentioned tasks (i.e., membership tracking of gated content, newsletter(s), email marketing, etc.).

If users leave comments, the system collects the data provided in the comments form along with other information including your IP address and browser information to help prevent spam.

Cookies

Users may opt into using “cookies” to locally (on your system) save your user name, email address, and website information. This data is stored for the user’s convenience to track user site preferences, content interests and engagement, login credentials for access and form usage (so they do not require the user to reenter some or all of the login credentials).

Embedded content from other websites

Posts on this site may include embedded content such as images, videos, articles, etc. Embedded content follows any privacy policies of the third party website.

These external sites may further collect data about you or your site usage and may additionally use cookies or store other tracking information about you regarding your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account with the third-party site.

How long do we retain your data?

We may review and delete or archive (in case the user returns as a customer) personal data after a period of user inactivity, so the site may potentially retain any personal data, including comments, indefinitely in site databases and/or as backup or archived data.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Who are our services for?

The site is intended for use by persons 13 years of age or older, generally speaking adult professionals. Minors under the age of 13 should not use the site. If a person under the age of 13 has entered personal information via any of the comments or forms, please contact us immediately, so we can delete any stored data.

Where we send your data

This site uses several third-party companies to store and transfer data, carry out processing automations, track user engagement and interests regarding our content and offerings, email newsletter(s) and/or  marketing, process payments, control gated/paid member access to site content, anti-spam validation, form generation and processing, etc.

Note our site does not currently store payment information such as credit card data. Such information is collected and stored by our payment provider Stripe.
