Depending on the tools used on the Site, these technologies may be placed by Personologie or by third-party service providers such as website platforms, analytics providers, email platforms, advertising providers, video or social embeds, or scheduling tools.
You can typically control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect Site functionality.
## 8. Legal Bases for Processing
If applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, Personologie may rely on one or more of the following:
* your consent;
* performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering a contract;
* our legitimate interests, such as operating and improving the Site, communicating with users, and preventing misuse;
* compliance with legal obligations; or
* protection of vital interests where permitted by law.
## 9. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of exchanging it for money. We may share personal information in the following circumstances:
### Service providers
We may share information with vendors and service providers that help us operate the Site or our business, such as website hosting providers, email and newsletter platforms, scheduling platforms, analytics providers, payment processors, CRM tools, cloud-storage providers, event platforms, and professional advisers.
### Business and legal purposes
We may disclose information:

If you provide a testimonial, review, or endorsement, we will only publish it in accordance with applicable law and any consent you provide regarding attribution and use.
## 10. Third-Party Websites, Scheduling Tools, and Embedded Services
The Site may link to or integrate with third-party services, including scheduling pages, newsletter platforms, social media platforms, payment processors, analytics services, and embedded content. Personologie’s Site visibly includes subscription and booking flows for newsletters and strategy calls, and may route users through third-party tools to complete those actions. ([personologie.com](https://personologie.com/opt-in?utm_source=chatgpt.com))
We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third-party services. Your interactions with those services are governed by their own privacy notices and terms.
## 11. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:
* provide requested information or services;
* maintain business and tax records;
* resolve disputes;
* enforce agreements; and
* comply with legal obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the relationship, legal requirements, and operational needs.
## 12. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no website, email transmission, online platform, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You use the Site and transmit information at your own risk.
## 13. International Data Transfers
Personologie is based in the United States, and information may be stored or processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.
## 14. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, such as the right to:
* request access to personal information we hold about you;
* request correction of inaccurate information;
* request deletion of certain information;
* object to or restrict certain processing;
* withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
* opt out of marketing communications; or
* request portability of certain information.
To make a privacy request, use the contact information provided on the Site. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.
## 15. U.S. State Privacy Rights
If you are a resident of a U.S. state with applicable privacy rights, you may have additional rights under state law. These may include rights to know, access, delete, correct, or opt out of certain processing activities, subject to legal exceptions.
Personologie does not knowingly sell personal information for monetary consideration. If Personologie uses cookies or similar technologies for analytics or advertising in a way that may be treated as “sharing” or targeted advertising under certain state laws, users may have opt-out rights depending on their jurisdiction.
Because the exact scope of these obligations depends on the technologies and vendors actually used on the Site, Personologie should confirm the live-site tech stack before final publication of this section.
## 16. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to these signals, the Site may not respond to all Do Not Track signals unless required by applicable law.
## 17. Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for adults and business users, not children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.
## 18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy, to the extent permitted by law.
