By using our site, products, or services, you agree to our privacy policy terms. If you don’t agree with these terms or any other related agreements, you shouldn’t use our site, products, or services. It’s that simple!
We usually ask for your personal information based on your consent or a purchase. This helps us provide valuable info to help you create better presentations, get more design ideas, communicate with us or others, reach more people, boost your impact and reputation, and even increase your income. Our goal is to serve our customers with this information and help them succeed.
We may collect personal information from you in several ways, such as when you visit our site, subscribe to our newsletter, fill out a form, or engage with other features and resources we offer. “Users” refers to visitors, readers, members, or any real human interactions—not robots.
We might ask for your name and email address, but you can visit our site anonymously without sharing personal data (except your IP address). We only collect personal information, if you voluntarily provide it. You can choose not to share this information, but it might limit your ability to engage in certain activities on our site.
We collect some data from you directly, like when you provide your name and email address to sign up for our newsletter. But we also collect some data automatically, like information about your device, which areas of our site you visit the most, and which search engine you used to find us. Here are some specific scenarios:
When you purchase something, like templates or book consulting time, our third-party software collects and stores your information, such as your name and email address. Don’t worry—you’re always aware of this because you give your permission at each step.
Regarding payment data, you provide your payment and billing details directly to our payment processing partners. This includes your name, credit card information, payment processor account details, billing address, and postal code. For security reasons, we don’t collect or store sensitive cardholder data, like full credit card numbers or card authentication data. In fact, we can’t even see this data!
When you type something in a chat window, fill out a feedback form, or attend a webinar, the content you enter may be stored by the service we use for these interactions. We may also share this content anonymously with others to improve our services.
When you buy a product, we collect some information like your name and email address to process your order. This helps us make sure your purchase goes smoothly.
We love doing giveaways! Sometimes everyone gets something for free, or we might pick a winner. We also conduct surveys to understand how users interact with our products and services. To make these happen, we might use third-party platforms.
If you participate, we’ll collect information like your name, email, address, phone number, and any other data you provide. This data is used to manage the giveaway or survey, notify winners, and distribute rewards. You might need to let us post some of your info publicly, like on a winner’s page. If we use a third-party platform, their privacy policy will apply. Your data will always be subject to this Privacy Policy unless otherwise stated in the promotion’s official rules or another privacy policy.
If you contact us for support, fill out a request on a forum, or report a problem or concern, we collect and store your contact information, messages, and other data like your name, email address, location, operating system, IP address, and any other details you provide. We use this data to respond to you and investigate your issue, following our Privacy Policy.
If we use third-party support software, it will store your information. If you comment on a blog post, website page, or anywhere on the site, we keep that information to reply to you and to prevent spam comments.
We work with many companies that offer us a commission on their products. If you visit their sites through a link on our site or in our newsletter and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. However, we are not responsible for the data you provide to them. It’s up to you to decide if you want to click on these links or buy products from other sources.
If you use our services through a third-party platform or click on any third-party links, your data will be subject to the privacy policies and agreements of that third-party. For example, if you access our site via a translation service or a proxy, you control what you see, and we don’t manage these services.
Our site also contains links to other websites and materials provided by third parties, like social media links. We don’t own or control these sites and aren’t responsible for the information they provide or their privacy policies. It’s up to you to review their policies and decide if you want to interact with them.
If you provide us with a testimonial about our services and products, we might use it to promote our services. By giving us your testimonial, you agree that we can use your name, voice, likeness, and/or website URL, whatever information you provide, in connection with the testimonial.
If you want us to stop using your testimonial at any time, contact us via our feedback form or reply to any email from us, and we will stop using it soon after processing your request. Please note that we might use your testimonials in PowerPoint slides during webinars and might not remember which presentations contain them, but we’ll do our best to track them down.
We also collect some data automatically. This is common for most server technologies used for hosting and is collected through server log files and tracking technologies, as detailed in the “What are Cookies, and What is Our Cookie Policy?” section on this page.
This automatically collected data includes information like your operating system, computer or device platform, IP address, device identifiers, resolution, browser name, browser language, and geography. Most of this data is anonymous and provides us with statistics about our website visitors as a whole. Some of this data may be associated with your account or visit patterns, but generally, it’s just used to help us understand how people are using our site.
