Privacy Policy

This privacy notice for The Art of Wifery, LLC (“Art of Wifery,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), describes how and why we might collect, store, use, and/or share (“process”) your information when you use our services (“Services”), such as when you visit our website at theartofwifery.com, or any website of ours that links to this privacy policy.

The purpose of this privacy policy is to help you understand your privacy rights and choices. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Services or purchase our products.

  1. What information do we collect and what do we do with it?


When you enroll as a student or subscriber (“learner”) on our site or related courses, as part of the enrolling process, we collect the personal information you give us, including your name and email address.


  1. Do we email you? 


We may send you emails about our site and related course(s), registration, course content, your course progress or other updates. We may also use your email to inform you about changes to the course, survey you about your usage, or collect your opinion.


  1. How do you get my consent?


When you provide us with personal information to become a learner on our site, make a purchase, visit our website or participate in the course, you consent to our collecting it and using it as needed.


If we ask for personal information for general marketing purposes, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to opt-out.


  1. How do I withdraw my consent?


If after opting in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us at [email protected].


  1. What personal information do we disclose to third parties?


We do not sell, share or disclose your personal information to anyone, except to the extent we are required by law to do so.


  1. Who hosts our courses?


Our courses are hosted by Thinkific Labs Inc. (“Thinkific”). It provides us with the online course creation platform that allows us to sell our product and services to you.


  1. How does Thinkific store your data?


Your data is stored through Thinkific’s data storage, databases and the general Thinkific application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.


  1. Where can I get more information about Thinkific?


For more insight, you can read Thinkific’s Privacy Statement here: https://www.thinkific.com/resources/privacy-policy/ or Thinkific’s Terms of Service here: https://www.thinkific.com/resources/terms-of-service/.


  1. How are credit card payments processed?


  1. We use a third-party payment processor such as Stripe or Paypal. Payments are encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our site and related courses and its service providers. If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption.  Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.


  1. What data do third party service providers collect?


In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers. Certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.


When you click on links on our course site, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.  Once you leave our course website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.


  1. How do we keep your information safe?


We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.


  1. How long do we retain data?


We store your personal information for as long as needed, or permitted, based on the reason why we obtained it (consistent with applicable law). Incidentally, we may be required to retain your personal information even after you cease using the Art of Wifery’s services.

We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.

We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification.
