All of that information is anonymous – so we don’t know who you are; just that somebody visited our site.

The information we collect from analytics helps us understand what parts of our sites are doing well, how people arrive at our site and so on. Like most websites, we use this information to make our website better.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We need to record and use information about you in order to provide our products or services. We use this information to confirm your identity and provide you with tailored services, train our staff and to ensure that our website and materials we provide to you are presented in an efficient and effective manner.

We may also use your information to contact you for marketing purposes to inform you about our products and services.  If you no longer wish to receive marketing emails or newsletters please contact us via info@negotiationacademy.com.

We do not store any information about you on our servers other than that which you submit into one of our forms, and in any case we hold your sensitive information like your credit card information we use software that keeps it encrypted.  Any other information stored happens via cookies or pixels as described above, and as facilitated via 3rd party tools (like Facebook, Google or Kajabi). Here is an example of how we may use any information to better communicate with you:

  • Provide and administer the Services, including to display customized content and facilitate communication with other users;
  • Process your requests and orders for courses, products, specific services, information, or features;
  • Communicate with you about your account by:
  • Responding to your questions and concerns;
  • Sending you administrative messages and information, including messages from instructors and teaching assistants, notifications about changes to our Service, and updates to our agreements;
  • Sending you information and in-app messages about your progress in courses, rewards programs, new services, new features, promotions, newsletters, and other available courses (which you can opt out of at any time);
  • Sending push notifications to your wireless device to provide updates and other relevant messages (which you can manage from the “options” or “settings” page of a mobile app);
  • Manage your account preferences;
  • Facilitate the Sites’ technical functioning, including troubleshooting and resolving issues, securing the Services, and preventing fraud and abuse;
  • Solicit feedback from users;
  • Market and administer surveys and promotions
  • Learn more about you by linking your data with additional data through third-party data providers or analyzing the data with the help of analytics service providers;
  • Identify unique users across devices;
  • Tailor advertisements across devices;
  • Improve our Sites and develop new products, services, and features;
  • Analyze trends and traffic, track purchases, and track usage data;
  • Advertise the Services on third-party websites and applications;
  • As required or permitted by law; or
  • As we, in our sole discretion, otherwise determine to be necessary to ensure the safety or integrity of our users, employees, third parties, the public, or our Services.

When you submit information to us, then, we use it in an ongoing nature to ensure you receive the information or purchases you’ve made with us, to deliver relevant future content via our newsletters, and to make future offers through our company or any other company that is involved in delivering your purchases.

As an example, if you purchase certain courses from us, you may receive a bonus coaching session which is delivered from Michael Zieba by a separate system or company that runs that particular program (e.g. Kajabi). To deliver that coaching, we share your information with Kajabi’s system so they can contact you to schedule that coaching call(s) you received as part of your purchase. At any time, you can contact us not to have your information shared with such service providers, but you may lose access to certain purchase bonuses or items if you do not allow the delivering third-party to contact you.

As most of our programs are for ongoing educational purposes in the field of negotiation, personal and professional development, you should assume we will continue to contact you in perpetuity via email or via social media in order to deliver our services, serve you related content, make recommendations, learn about your preferences, grant you products, deliver programs to you with or from other platforms or companies, advertise to you or look alike audiences, send you surveys, and other fulfillment or marketing purposes.

By using our site(s) and submitting any information with us, you agree to these terms without exception and agree to waive liability and not hold us liable for any use of your information, in perpetuity, under any circumstances, including waiving your right to participate or initiate any class action complaints.

Again, if you want us to no longer contact you, just write us at info@negotiationacademy.com anytime with your request and we will begin removing you from our services or content as appropriate and as soon as we can.
