PRIVACY POLICY

Leadership Counseling Services, LLC Privacy Policy

Leadership Counseling Services, LLC ("LCS", "we" or "us") knows that you care how your information is used and shared. We appreciate your trust that we will use your information carefully and sensibly. This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") describes our policies with respect to your personal information that LCS collects through its website at www.inside8.com ("Website"), any personality assessment you take that is made available through the website (each, an “Assessment”), and any other tools, assessments, or services we make available to you (collectively, the “Services”).

This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms & Conditions and Data Assessment Policy, if applicable.  All terms not specifically defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Terms & Conditions or the Data Assessment Policy.  In the event of a conflict between any of the terms in this Privacy Policy and either the Terms & Conditions or Data Assessment Policy, this Privacy Policy shall prevail to the extent of such conflict.

By using and visiting our Services you agree to this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent to our collection, use, disclosure, transfer, and storage of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

INTRODUCTION

LCS respects the privacy and confidentiality of personal information of visitors to our Website or users of the Services. LCS treats personal data in the strictest confidence and operates a strict privacy policy. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect when you visit or use our Services, how we use that information, and under what circumstances we share or disclose it. LCS will only process personal data as set out in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy also gives you more information about how you can manage the personal information you provide to us. 

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Automatically Collected Device Information

When you visit or use the Services, you can explore pages of the Website without providing any information about yourself.  However, when you visit or use the Services, LCS automatically receives and records information from your device and use of the Services, including information about your web browser, IP address, cookie information, unique device identifiers, software and hardware attributes (including the type of operating system you use), mobile network information, what websites or search terms referred you to the Website, date and time of your request and referral to the Website, pages or products that you view, and information about how you interact with the Website and Services. We refer to this information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

1. “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. A cookie may enable the website owner to track how a visitor navigates through its website and the areas in which they show interest. This is similar to a traffic report: it tracks trends and behaviors, but does not identify individuals. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
2. “Log files” track actions occurring on the Website, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
3. “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Website.

We also use two third party services, Google Analytics and Piwik, to collect certain Device Information.

LCS websites do not currently allow any third party cookies. You can choose to disable LCS cookies. Allowing cookies will provide a user with the best possible experience on the LCS Website. If you choose to disable cookies, certain sections of the Website will not work properly. If you use different devices to view and access the LCS Website (e.g. your computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) you will need to ensure that the browser on each device is adjusted to suit your cookie preferences.

Information You Provide

In addition to Device Information, there are instances in which we either collect or require you to disclose “Personal Information.”  Personal Information is information that could personally identify you, for example, your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, birth year, and requested payment information.

Although you may browse the Website or Services without providing Personal Information, in the following instances, we need you to actively submit Personal Information: 

• In order to purchase the Primal Personality Assessment® (the “Assessment”) or sign up for our mailing list, you must create an account for the Website.  When you create your account, you must provide your email address, username, and password to us.
• When you purchase or attempt to purchase the Assessment, or otherwise wish to complete an assessment or consumer survey on our Website, you must provide us with your name, year of birth, gender, email address, country, and zip code/post code. We use this information to process your assessment data.
• When you complete the Assessment (or any other assessment made available via the Services), we collect the information set forth above as well as your specific responses (which may include additional demographic details).  We use this information to score the Assessments and generate detailed reports and other data, including the assessment and related findings (i.e. personality group), for your own review as well as our internal business purposes (such as improving the Assessment itself).
• When you contact us with a question or concern (either via email or phone), in order to better serve your needs, a representative may ask you to provide certain personal information like your name, mailing address, telephone number, mobile number, and/or email address. We use this information to answer your question or address your concern.
• When you purchase merchandise, you may be asked to provide your name, address, phone number, email address, and billing and shipping information.  We use this information to process and fulfill orders (either directly or with our third party vendors).

Information We Receive or Collect from Third Parties

We may receive or collect information about you from third parties and store it on our servers with other information we may have already received or collected from you, such as publicly available information you provided to third party platforms.  LCS is not responsible for, and will assume no liability, if a business partner or other entity whom you have authorized collects, uses or shares any information about you in violation of its own privacy policy or any applicable laws, rules, or regulations.

OUR USE OF YOUR INFORMATION 

Device Information

We use your Device Information to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Website.  We do this, for example, to generate statistics on website traffic and website activity, customize the advertising and content visitors see, fulfill your requests for products and services, and conduct research and assess the performance of any marketing or advertising campaigns.

Personal Information

We use and store the Personal Information you provide us for the reasons set forth above.  More generally, we use this information in order to fulfill orders (including arranging for shipping, facilitating payment to our third party providers, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations), manage customer complaints, and process requests to access testing data.    

We also use the Personal Information you provide us in connection with an Assessment to process the assessment data as well as conduct comparative analytics.  We may strip your assessment data of any personally identifiable information and combine it with other users for research and evaluation purposes.  We do not share your Personal Information provided in connection with an Assessment to third parties without your explicit prior consent.

In addition to the foregoing, we may also use your Personal Information for legitimate business purposes, including to:

INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE

We do not rent or sell your Personal Information without your permission.  However, we may share your Personal Information for the purposes described herein:

Any third parties to whom we may disclose Personal Information (identified herein) may have their own privacy policies which describe how they use and disclose your Personal Information. Those policies will govern use, handling and disclosure of your personal information once we have shared it with those third parties as described in this Privacy Policy. If you want to learn more about their privacy practices, we encourage you to visit the websites of those third parties.

AGGREGATION AND/OR ANONYMIZATION

In addition to the uses and sharing of information set forth above, we may also aggregate and/or de-identify any Personal Information or Device Information (including assessment data) that we collect, such that the information no longer identifies any specific individual. When we do this, we may use, disclose and otherwise process such information for our own legitimate business purposes – including historical and statistical analysis and business planning – without restriction.  We may also share this aggregated and anonymized data with third parties for marketing purposes, and you may see advertisements from companies that align with your interests.

PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION

You have several options when deciding how you can best protect your Information.  One option is simply not to volunteer it.  This approach would allow you to still visit our Services, although it may prevent you, for example, from placing orders or taking the Assessment.  The Federal Trade Commission’s website, www.ftc.gov, also offers useful information about how to protect personally identifiable information provided to a website.

Unless we clearly express otherwise, we will use Personal Information in accordance with the Policy then in effect.  YOU ARE HEREBY ADVISED THAT YOUR CONTINUED USE OF OUR WEBSITE CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF ANY AMENDMENTS TO AND THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THIS POLICY.
