We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so; for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our Websites and Services better. We collect a variety of information from you when you visit our Website(s), make purchases, or interact with us on social media. The information we collect may include:
Personal Data: Personal Data is information that can be used to identify you specifically, including but not limited to, your name, shipping address, email address or demographic information like your age or gender. While using our Website(s) and Services, we may ask you to provide us with certain Personal Data to fulfill your request for any Services. You consent to giving us this information by providing it to us voluntarily on our Website(s) or through communications with us. You provide some of this information when you register with or make purchases from our Website(s). You may also provide this information by participating in various activities associated with us, including responding to blogs, contacting us with questions, or participating in group training. Your decision to disclose this data is entirely voluntary. You are under no obligation to provide this information, but your refusal may prevent you from accessing certain benefits from our Website(s) or from making purchases.
Usage Data: Like most websites, we automatically collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available when you access our Website(s). This can include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address) which we may use to determine the approximate location of your device, as well as browser type, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the dates and times of access, and the specific pages you view. The information we collect automatically is used for statistical data and will not include personal information. We use this data to improve our Website(s) and provide the highest possible level of service to you. To the extent that you voluntarily provide personal information to us, our systems will associate the automatically collected information with your personal information.
Transaction and Billing Information: If you buy something from us – a class, coaching, digital good, or a subscription to our membership community, for example – you will be asked to provide personal information that is required to process the transaction such as your name and contact information. To process your payment, we use third-party services (e.g. payment processors). We will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to our third-party payment processor (PayPal) whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy.
Social Networking Data: We may access personal information from social networking sites and apps, including Facebook, Instagram, Mighty Networks or other social networking sites or apps not named specifically here, which may include your name, your social network username, location, email address, age, gender, profile picture and any other public information. If you do not want us to access this information, please go to the specific social networking site and change your privacy settings.
Mobile Device Data and Application Information: If you connect with us or join one of our groups on any social networking sites, including but not limited to Facebook or Mighty Networks, and use their mobile application, we may access information that these third-party apps request from you and disclose to us. Please review the respective Privacy Policy for each application you choose to use to determine how they use, disclose, and protect your data.
Other data: On occasion, you may give us additional data in order to enter into a contest or giveaway or to participate in a survey. You will be prompted for this information and it will be clear that you are offering this kind of information freely in exchange for an entry into such a contest or giveaway. If you choose to correspond with us through email or social media and offer any other information to us voluntarily, we may retain the content of your messages together with your contact information and our responses.

Pixel tags (also referred to as web beacons, clear gifs, and single-pixel gifs) are small blocks of code placed on websites and emails that track actions visitors take. Like most other websites, we make use of cookies and other technologies like pixel tags. We may use them to authenticate your identity, to determine if you are logged onto our Website(s), for personalization, for security, for targeted advertising, or for analysis of the performance of our Websites and Services to improve the quality.

However, this may affect your ability to use or make purchases from our Website(s). By continuing to use our Website(s), you are consenting to our use of cookies, pixels and other tracking technologies in accordance with the terms of this policy.

We do not transfer personal information to these third-party vendors. However, in order to access our Website(s), you must consent to the collection and use of your information by these third-party analytic companies.

The legal basis for collecting, using, disclosing, and/or processing of your data is both your consent, and our need to conduct our legitimate business interests.

For example, we will retain certain personal information indefinitely for the purposes of maintaining your account, unless and until you delete your account. Data that we gather for a specific and particular purpose, such as assisting law enforcement or analyzing trends, will not be kept for longer than is necessary for that particular purpose. Data that is no longer needed by us will be permanently deleted.
DATA SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
We take all reasonable steps to protect your personal data and ensure the security of the information you provide to us and the information we collect automatically. This includes using standard security protocols and working only with reputable third-party vendors.
However, no security measure is foolproof, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against interception or misuse. While we make every effort to protect your personal information shared with us through our Website(s), you acknowledge that the personal information you voluntarily share with us through our Website(s) could be accessed or tampered with by a third-party. You agree that we are not responsible for any intercepted information shared through our Website(s) without our knowledge or permission. Additionally, you release us from any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of such intercepted information in any unauthorized manner.
Our operations are supported by a network of computers, cloud-based servers, and other infrastructure and information technology, including, but not limited to, third-party service providers. We and our third-party service providers store and process your Personal Data in the United States and elsewhere in the world. We take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information. By using our Website(s) and Services, you consent to your Personal Data being transferred to other countries, including countries that have different data protection rules than your country. We do not represent that our Website(s) and services are appropriate or available in any particular jurisdiction.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website(s), you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send private information to us by email. However, doing so is allowed, but at your own risk. Some of the information you may enter on our Website(s) may be transmitted securely via a secure medium known as Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL. Credit Card information and other sensitive information is never transmitted via email.

Change Consent: To the extent that you provided consent to our processing of your personal data (including, but not limited to, emailing you), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based upon consent that occurred prior to your withdrawal of consent. If you wish to withdraw your consent for us to process your data, you can opt-out by emailing hello@kristalnorton.com.
Delete All Data: You have the right to request that we delete all data that we hold about you.

Such a request may result in a termination of your account with us and you may have limited or no use of our Website(s) and Services.
In certain circumstances, you also have the right to:
▷ Request that we limit our use and processing of your personal data;
▷ Request that we confirm what data we hold and for what purposes;
▷ Object to our use and processing of your personal data; and
▷ Request portability of your personal data.
We require only the information that is reasonably required to enter into a contract with you. We will not require you to provide consent for any unnecessary processing as a condition of entering into a contract with us.
If you believe that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection.
