Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Thank you for visiting www.scottpettifer.com (the “Website”), owned and operated by Scott Pettifer (“we”, “us”, “our”). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect your personal data when you use the Website. It also outlines your rights in relation to your personal data under applicable data protection laws around the world.

2. Scope and Applicability

This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors, subscribers, and users of the Website, regardless of their location. We aim to comply with applicable global data protection and privacy laws (for example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) cdp.com+5GDPR EU+5GDPR EU+5) and other international privacy frameworks.
By using the Website, you accept the practices described in this Policy.

3. Data We Collect

We may collect the following types of personal data:

• Contact      information (such as your name, email address) when you subscribe to a      newsletter or contact us.
• Usage      data and analytics (such as your IP address, device type, pages viewed,      access times) collected automatically through cookies or tracking      technologies.
• Payment      data (if you purchase a membership or course) to the extent required for      processing transactions (we do not retain full payment card data; such      data is handled by our payment processor).
• Other      data you choose to provide (for example when you submit comments,      questions, or participate in research or surveys).

4. How We Use Your Personal Data

We use personal data for the following purposes:

• To      provide and maintain the Website, manage your subscription, process your      payments, send newsletters and updates.
• To      understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve content, design      and functionality.
• To      protect the rights, property or safety of the Website, users or others.
• To      comply with legal obligations.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (where applicable)

If you are located in a jurisdiction requiring a legal basis, we process your personal data on the following grounds:

• Your      consent (for example when you subscribe to our newsletter).
• The      performance of a contract (for example when you purchase a course or      membership).
• Our      legitimate interests (for example improving user experience, managing the      security of our site), provided your rights do not override these      interests.
• Compliance      with legal obligations.

6. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Data

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your personal data with:

• Service      providers and contractors who perform functions on our behalf (for example      email delivery, analytics, payment processing). These parties are bound to      protect your data and use it only for their contracted purpose.
• Legal      authorities or other third parties if required by law or in connection      with legal claims, fraud prevention, or protection of rights.

7. International Transfers of Data

Because our Website operates globally, your personal data may be transferred to, stored and processed in countries other than your home country. Wherever such transfers occur, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (such as standard contractual clauses or other legal mechanisms). This is consistent with international data-protection principles. 

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect usage data and enhance your experience on the Website. You may control or disable cookies through your browser settings, but certain features of the Website may not function correctly if you do so.

• Right      to restrict processing of your data.
• Right      to data portability (receive your data in a structured and commonly used      format).
• Right      to object to processing (for example direct marketing).
• Right      to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
      We will respond to your request within a reasonable time (typically 30      days) unless a longer period is justified. These rights are described in      global frameworks including the OECD Privacy Guidelines. 

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. Usage and analytics data may be retained for a longer period for trend analysis but will be anonymised where possible.
