Through surveys and newsletter registration, our website may request users to give us contact, demographic, and/or financial information. The demographic information is used to enhance user experience so we can be more content specific. The contact information is used to notify users of new content, and to provide surveys and newsletters, via email. Financial information that is collected is used primarily for in-house statistics, advertising, and marketing target information.

Contests and Promotional Offers with Select Third Parties

The Learning Studio and Vantage Path Inc. may run contests or other promotional offers in conjunction with select companies other than the Learning Studio, including, but not limited to, speakers and corporate organizations. When you choose to participate in these contests or promotional offers, you may be asked to give these third parties your personal information. These businesses operate independently from the Learning Studio. Any personal information that is given to them is at your option and is not controlled by our Privacy Policy. To avoid confusion, we will identify these businesses as separate from the Learning Studio. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these businesses if you have any concerns about how they will treat your personal information.

The Site may track customer purchases, related traffic patterns and website usage to help us provide superior customer service and convenient access to our products, direct our merchandise order, and improve customer access website responsiveness and usefulness of the website.

Does the Learning Studio Share Your Personal Information?

The Learning Studio hires certain trusted companies to act on our behalf by performing such functions as processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These entities are provided with only the information needed to perform their specific function and they may not use your personal information for any other purposes. They are bound by contract to maintain the confidentiality and security of your personal information, and are restricted from using such information in any way not expressly authorized by the Learning Studio.

Your IP Address

Like most e-commerce websites, each time you visit the Learning Studio, it automatically collects your IP address and the web page from which you came. In order to administer and optimize the website for you and to diagnose problems with our website, we use your IP address to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information about you, including but not limited to, your location, browser, and page views.

Use of Cookies

A cookie is a small text file stored on your hard drive. Depending on how you have configured your browser, when you visit the Site, we may use cookies. Cookies are required to shop on our website. We use cookies to assist with anonymous website traffic analysis, which includes tracking the time and date of visits, pages viewed and referring URLs. There are simple ways to either refuse all cookies, or accept them each time they are offered. Consult your browser’s help files for assistance on changing cookie settings or removing cookie files.

Website Security

The Site will use appropriate security safeguards to protect your personal information against loss, theft and unauthorized access. For security of transactions, we use the secure sockets layer (SSL) protocol, which encrypts any information you send to us electronically. The encryption process protects your information such as your credit card number and billing and shipping information by scrambling it before it is sent to us from your computer. Once the Site receives your transmission, we make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our system.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while he Site strives to protect your personal information, we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

The Site reserves the right to co-operate with local, provincial, national and international authorities in investigations of improper or unlawful activities, and this may require the disclosure of personal information.
