3. THE SECURE CONNECTION SYSTEM™ AND USER-ENTERED INFORMATION

The Secure Connection System™ contains interactive features that may allow you to enter information about yourself, your experiences, relationships, observations, or progress.

This information is provided voluntarily and is used to enable the applicable features of the product and maintain information or progress that you choose to save.

Clear Sea Publishing LLC does not use information you enter into these course features for advertising or marketing purposes, and we do not sell this information.

User-entered information is not made available to other customers or members of The Secure Connection System™.

Because The Secure Connection System™ is hosted using third-party technology, information entered into the product may be technically processed or stored by service providers such as Thinkific as necessary to provide and operate the platform.

We encourage users to exercise reasonable discretion when entering highly sensitive personal information into any online service.

4. COURSE PLATFORM — THINKIFIC

The Secure Connection System™ is delivered through Thinkific, a third-party online course platform.

Thinkific may process information such as your name, email address, account information, course enrollment, course activity, progress, and information you voluntarily enter into course features as necessary to operate and provide the platform.

Thinkific processes information according to its own privacy practices and applicable agreements.

5. SALES AND CHECKOUT — GOHIGHLEVEL

Our sales pages, marketing pages, forms, and checkout experience may be operated using GoHighLevel (HighLevel).

Information you provide through these pages, including contact and purchase-related information, may be processed or stored through HighLevel as necessary to operate our website, process customer interactions, and provide our services.

6. PAYMENT PROCESSING — STRIPE

Payments are processed using Stripe, a third-party payment processor.

When you make a purchase, Stripe may collect payment card details, billing information, and other information necessary to process your transaction and prevent fraud.

Clear Sea Publishing LLC does not receive or store your complete payment card number.

Stripe handles payment information according to its own privacy and security practices.

7. EMAIL AND COMMUNICATIONS

We use email services, including Gmail/Google, to communicate with customers and respond to inquiries.

Information contained in emails you send to us may therefore be processed and stored using Google’s services.

Marketing or educational communications may also be delivered through systems used in connection with our website and customer relationship management tools.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time. Transactional or account-related communications may still be sent when necessary to provide a product or service you purchased.

8. GOOGLE ANALYTICS AND COOKIES

We use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors interact with our websites.

Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, approximate geographic information, device and browser information, referral sources, and interactions with our website.

We may also use cookies and similar technologies necessary to operate our websites, remember preferences, analyze website performance, and understand how visitors use our services.

Information collected through analytics is used to understand and improve website performance and customer experience.

You may be able to restrict or disable cookies through your browser settings or other privacy controls made available on our websites.

9. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS

We use third-party service providers to operate various aspects of our business.

These currently include services such as:

  • Thinkific — course hosting and delivery
  • GoHighLevel (HighLevel) — sales pages, checkout, forms, and customer management
  • Stripe — payment processing
  • Google/Gmail — email and communications
  • Google Analytics — website analytics

These providers may process personal information when necessary to perform services on our behalf and may maintain their own privacy policies and legal obligations regarding that information.

Clear Sea Publishing LLC does not sell your personal information for money.

10. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

We also rely on the security measures provided by the third-party platforms used to operate our websites, payment processing, communications, and course delivery.

No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our products and services, maintain customer accounts and transaction records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and operate our business.

Information may be deleted or anonymized when it is no longer reasonably necessary for these purposes.

12. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may provide you with rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the right to request:

  • Access to personal information maintained about you
  • Correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Deletion of certain personal information
  • Information concerning how your personal information is used

13. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
