Thank you for visiting our Website (owned by Lead Out Loud Inc.). We provide this Privacy Policy to explain how Lead Out Loud Inc., uses and shares information from you when you use the Website and to help you make an informed decision as to whether to use or continue using the Website.
Any personal information provided to or gathered by the Website is controlled by:
Lead Out Loud Inc.
1235 Trafalgar Road
PO Box 84021
Oakville, Ontario L6H 5V7
Canada
The amount and type of information we gather depends upon your use of the Website and, in some cases, what type of information you choose to disclose. We may collect the following information from you:
We collect information from you when you voluntarily register with the Website and/or submit your personal information to us over the Website. Such personal information may include your name, email and postal addresses, phone number, and other information which you voluntarily provide to us. For example, if you sign up to receive access to a free webinar from us, we ask you to provide personal details about your contact information in order to register you to the online event. As another example, if you visit the Website and purchase any of our online classes or physical products, you may be communicating information to us about yourself, such as your shipping address and phone number.
When you use the Website, we automatically gather information made available by your web browser (such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome), Internet service provider (such as Comcast or Time Warner), and device (such as your computer, phone, or tablet), depending on your settings for each. For example, we may collect your IP address, information about the operating system or type of device you use, the date and time you access the Website, and the location of your device.
The Website may receive information about you and your Internet activities if you have provided it to a Third-Party and we subsequently purchase, license, or otherwise acquire the information from the Third-Party. Such information may include, but is not limited to, your personal and online interests, and Internet browsing habits. These Third Parties may have collected such information by placing Cookies on your device, using web beacons, gathering IP addresses and log data, and so forth as described below.
All payments are processed by third-party vendors, and not the Website itself. If you make a purchase on the Website, we will collect credit card numbers and related information, such as billing address, card number, and the expiration date of the card (“Credit Card Information”), but such information is sent directly to our payment processors using PCI Compliant rules/software and is never stored or otherwise retained by the Website or Lead Out Loud Inc.
From time to time, we may obtain other information from you, such as when you make a claim for a prize pursuant to a contest or other promotion run on the Website, when you request assistance through from our customer service department, and when you voluntarily subscribe to the Websites service or newsletter. You will always be asked to provide such other information voluntarily, and we will not collect it without your permission.

We may disclose, transfer, and sell your information to our affiliated entities—that is, businesses that have common ownership with us—at our discretion, in which event, your information shall be treated by the affiliated entities in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Should Lead Out Loud be subject to an acquisition, merger, sale or other change of control or business entity status, we reserve the right to transfer or assign your information as part of that acquisition, merger or sale.

We use Third-Party vendors to store your information. These Third-Party vendors employ security measures (such as software and applications to block DDoS attacks, bots, malicious traffic, and internal firewalls) in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
Lead Out Loud Inc. stores personal information in the United States and Canada.

Lead Out Loud will never knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of 13. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected personal information about a child under the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from our database. Because we do not collect such information, we have no such information to use or to disclose to Third Parties. We have designed this policy in order to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
DNT is a feature offered by some browsers which, when enabled, sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing is not tracked. The Website does not currently respond to DNT requests.
Advertising agencies, advertising networks, and other companies (together, Third Parties) who place advertisements on the Website and on the Internet generally may use their own cookies, web beacons, and other technology to collect information about individuals.
