When used in this Privacy Policy, “personal information” includes information that is reasonably capable of identifying a particular individual (including through their device) either alone or when combined with information from other sources.

The personal information we collect about you depends on the nature and context of your interaction with our Decolonizing Therapy and our Platform. It may also depend on various choices you make about how to use the Platform we offer, the functionality and features you choose or enable, your location, the devices you use to interact with our Platform, and applicable law. The following describes the personal information we collect about you and the way we collect it.

Personal Information You Give to Us

We may collect the following categories of personal information you provide to us, including the following:

Your Personal Details. For example, your first and last name, email address, phone number, physical address, job titles, and other contact information you provide.

Account and Other Identifiers. For example, a username, screen name, handle, account ID, assigned user ID, customer number, or similar identifier that can be used to identify a user or account.
User Content. For example, emails and text messages, photos, videos, audio recordings, customer support communications, comments/feedback, and any other content submitted by you.

Survey Data. We may contact some individuals to request participation in a survey or other general research. If you choose to take part in these, you may provide personal information, in or along with your survey responses, or in any other feedback or comments you give us.

Other Personal Information You Provide. If you provide us personal information other than that described above, we will collect it and use it for the purposes for which you provide it or other consistent purposes.
Inferences. In certain instances, we may infer personal information about you based on the information you have provided to us or that we have collected about you.

You may choose to grant our Platform permission to access your device’s precise geolocation, which we may use to confirm your address and help us operate or personalize our Platform, including by tagging posts, providing information on or adding information to a map, and helping us show you more relevant content or ads.

Personal Information We Derive Through Your Use of Our Platform

We and our third-party partners use cookies, web beacons, clear GIF, pixels, internet tags, and other similar tracking technologies (collectively, “tracking technologies”) to gather information when you interact with our websites, mobile apps, and email communications. We use some of these tracking technologies to help us optimize and maintain the security of our websites and your account. We also use them for compatible purposes like saving your preferences, fixing errors, and ensuring consistent service of our websites and mobile apps. For additional information on our use of cookies, please visit the Kajabi Cookie Notice.

Kajabi permits third parties to use tracking technologies on their websites for analytics and advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your interests, and provide metrics on advertising effectiveness. The third parties use their technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests which may appear either on any of the Kajabi websites or on other websites.

The information we collect using these technologies includes:

Device and Browser Identifiers. For example, an assigned user ID, IP address, or similar identifier that can be used to identify your device.

Coarse Location Information. A general approximation of your location that is not based on global position system (GPS) information.
Browsing and Search History. Information about the content you view and searches you make on the Decolonizing Therapy Site.

Website Log and Usage Data. Information related to our pages you viewed, the services and features you used or interacted with, your browser type and details about any links or communications with which you interacted.

Advertising Metrics. Information about the advertisements you have viewed on our Website.

Because the “Do Not Track” browser-based standard signal has yet to gain widespread acceptance, our Website(s) currently does not respond to those signals.

Personal Information We Collect From Others

We mostly collect personal information directly from you or based on your interaction with the Decolonizing Therapy Site. However, we also may collect personal information from third-party sources. These include Heroes, your colleagues, employers, business representatives, our Business Services Providers, Marketing and Advertising Providers, government entities, our Decolonizing Therapy affiliates, security services providers, other individuals, social media platforms, and other users of our Platform.

Even if you aren’t a registered user of our Platform, your information might still be collected. Some users may choose to share information about their contacts, including their name, email address, phone number, or other information. Users may also post or comment with personal information about other users.

Decolonizing Therapy uses Google’s Application Programming Interface (API) Services to enable the use of certain Platform features (i.e. use of your Gmail account to calendar events from the Platform’s Coaching feature). Decolonizing Therapy’s use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The information collected and used with these API services includes personal data such as email addresses, calendar information, and first and last names. Your Google information is used by the Kajabi system developers to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent to your user experience.

Our Legal Grounds for Processing Your Personal Information

When we process personal information about you to comply with legal requirements or to perform our obligations under a contract with you or with our customer through whom you use our offerings, failure to provide such information may prevent or delay our fulfillment of these obligations.

To the extent required by applicable law, we will collect your personal data with your consent, where required, and in accordance with our legitimate need to provide our Platform.

Under European data protection laws, Decolonizing Therapy is required to rely on one or more legal bases to collect, use, share, and otherwise process the information we have about you. We describe these legal bases and some accompanying examples in more detail below.

Performing our Agreement. Decolonizing Therapy processes your information as is necessary to perform our contract(s) with you, including, without limitation, our Terms of Service and Decolonizing Therapy Payments Terms of Service, as applicable. For example:

We use your information to create your account and set you up as a registered user on Decolonizing Therapy.
We transfer your information outside of the EU to the United States to provide our Platform.

Where you choose a method of verification to confirm your address, we do so in accordance with your consent.
If you decide to use location services in the context of Decolonizing Therapy, we collect and process such location information based on your consent.
We rely on your consent to tailor ads based on your activity and information on other websites and partner data, such as inferred interests.
We will send you marketing communications where you have consented to receiving such communications in accordance with applicable law.

Legal Obligation. Decolonizing Therapy may process your information to comply with a legal obligation, a court order, or to exercise and defend legal claims. For example:

We may preserve and disclose your information if it is necessary to respond, based on applicable law, to a valid legal request (e.g., a subpoena, search warrant, court order, or other binding request from government or law enforcement).
We may retain and process your information where it is necessary for compliance with applicable tax laws.

Vital Interests. Decolonizing Therapy may process your information in certain circumstances when it is necessary to protect your vital interests, or those of others. For example:

We may need to process your information in order to protect your life or safety or the lives or safety of others, or otherwise prevent physical injury or other harm to any person or the general public.
We may preserve or share your information with law enforcement and related authorities where we have a good faith belief that it is required in the context of an imminent threat.
We may share your personal data with disaster relief agencies, first responders and other individuals to facilitate disaster or emergency response efforts.

Legitimate Interests. We may process your information where it is necessary for the purposes of Decolonizing Therapy’ or a third party’s legitimate interests, such as those of Creators. We process your information in furtherance of the following legitimate interests:

Providing, improving, and developing our Platform. We use your information to provide our Platform, including any personalized services, and to understand and improve our business and our user relationships.
Providing ads, and measurement and analytics services. We use your information to provide personalized ads both on and off Decolonizing Therapy and to measure and analyze the success of those ads to provide accurate and reliable reporting to our advertisers. We do so as necessary to pursue our legitimate interests in marketing and monetizing our Platform.
Sending marketing communications. We rely on our legitimate interests in marketing and promoting our Services to use your contact information and send you marketing communications in accordance with applicable law, except where applicable law requires that we rely on your consent to send such communications.
Sharing information for legal and safety reasons. Where required for legal and safety reasons, we may disclose information to law enforcement and related agencies and authorities in furtherance of the legitimate interests described further below.
As detailed in this Privacy Policy, where we process your information based on legitimate interests, you have the right to object to such processing. Where you exercise your right to object, we will cease processing your information for that specific purpose, unless there are compelling legitimate grounds overriding your objection or where your information is processed for legal reasons.

Our Sharing of Your Personal Information

We DO NOT share your personal information with the following:

Publicly Posted Content

Decolonizing Therapy users may have the ability to post content to one or more Decolonizing Therapy forums, such as chat rooms and bulletin boards. You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personal information in any forum, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other people. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these instances. Please take care when using these features. You may request and obtain the removal of such posted content by contacting us at support@Decolonizing Therapy.com and specifically identifying the content to be removed. Please be advised that any such removal does not ensure the complete or comprehensive removal of all traces of the content posted on the Decolonizing Therapy forums.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information; the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; and the applicable legal requirements. In some circumstances, you may ask us to delete your information. Additionally, we may anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Data Security

We have implemented and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices, appropriate to the nature of the information, to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. However, no security measure is perfect, so we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. Data protection laws vary among countries, with some providing more protection than others. Regardless of where your information is processed, we apply common protections described in this policy. These protections align with well-known standards such as ISO 27001:2017 and others.

We have and never will sell or trade any of our customer information.

We currently use Quickbooks, PayPal, Eventbrite and Decolonizing Therapy to process credit cards and online payments. Immediately after you place an online order with Decolonizing Therapy LLC, only a small handful of authorized employees have access to your order. Your credit card number is transmitted directly to the 3rd Party payment gateway. Your credit card number is not visible to any Decolonizing Therapy LLC employee throughout the entire order process. For questions about Decolonizing Therapy’s privacy practices please see: https://Decolonizing Therapy.com/policies/privacy and for PayPals privacy policy please see https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full and for Eventbrite’s privacy practices please see https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articles/en_US/Troubleshooting/eventbrite-privacy-policy?lg=en_US . Decolonizing Therapy LLC is not responsible for 3rd party privacy infractions.

No part of your financial information is ever stored on any computer with an outside connection to a publicly accessible network (Internet). Decolonizing Therapy LLC does not store any financial information of our customers. We do, however, store contact information (excluding financial information) and take the utmost caution to ensure its privacy.

International Data Transfers

We are located and operate in the United States. By submitting personal information to us, you understand that we may transfer your personal information to a country foreign to you, including the United States, for processing. The laws that apply to the use and protection of personal information in the United States, or other countries or jurisdictions in which we transfer or process personal information, may be different from the laws and protections in your country. These transfers may include transfers to our service providers located in foreign jurisdictions. Whenever we engage a service provider, we require that its privacy and security standards adhere to our requirements and applicable privacy laws.

Your Privacy Preferences

You can control the collection and use of personal information for some of our processing activities. This includes:

Adjusting Communication Preferences

Emails From Decolonizing Therapy. During the registration for Decolonizing Therapy, you were presented with an opt-in to receive email communications. If you wish to no longer receive email communications, you can click on the “unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of the email, email Decolonizing Therapy at [email protected] to let us know, and we will remove you as soon as possible. Opting out of marketing or newsletter emails will not opt you out of all emails—we may need to send you transactional or similar emails related to your Decolonizing Therapy account, purchases, legal or contractual updates, or similar topics. You are not able to opt out of these emails.

Emails from Third Parties. During registration for a Decolonizing Therapy virtual event or webinar, you may be asked to opt-in to receive emails from third parties. If you choose to opt-in to receive email communication from a third party, you can opt out or unsubscribe at any time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or similar opt-out link in the third party’s’ email communication. Opting out of marketing or similar communications from third parties may not prevent all emails from third parties. Third parties have their own privacy policies regarding the personal information they collect and process about you. We urge you to review their privacy policies regarding their processing of your personal information.
