What Is Personal Information?
Personal information is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
We do not consider personal information to include information that has been anonymized or aggregated so that it can no longer be used to identify a specific natural person, whether in combination with other information or otherwise.
We collect personal information from you when you use our Services.

Personal Information Collected Using Cookies And Similar Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons (or pixels), unique identifiers, and similar technologies to collect information about the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you may take when using our Services, within our email or advertising content.
We also use Google Analytics which is a web analysing tool of Alphabet Inc. for the purposes of continuous optimization of our website. Google Analytics works with cookies and creates pseudonymized usage profiles, which enable an analysis of your use of our website. Information stored in such cookies (such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL, Hostname of the accessing computer, time of server request) are usually transmitted to, and stored on Google’s servers.
How We Use Cookies
A cookie is a small file that asks permission to be placed on your device’s hard drive. If you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a specific site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you. As an individual, the web application can customize its operations to your needs and preferences by gathering and storing that information.
We may use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse the data about our web page traffic and thus improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better site experience, by allowing us to monitor which pages you find useful, and which you do not. A cookie in no way allows us access to your device or any personal information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually edit your browser settings to reject cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website experience.
Personal Information Collected From Other Sources
We allow you to share information with social media sites, or use social media sites to create your account, or to connect your account with the respective social media site. Those social media sites may give us automatic access to certain personal information retained by them about you (e.g. content viewed by you, content liked by you, and information about the advertisements you have been shown or have clicked on, etc.). You have full control over the personal information that you allow us to have access to, through the privacy settings on the relevant social media sites, and the permissions you give us when you grant us access to the personal information kept by the respective social media sites about you. By associating an account managed by a social media site with your subscription on this site, and authorising us to have access to this information, you agree that we can collect, use, and store the information provided by these social media sites in accordance with this privacy policy. We may also use plugins or other technologies from various social media sites. If you click on a link provided via a social media plugin, you are voluntarily establishing a connection with that respective social media site.
If you give us personal information about another natural person other than yourself, you must do so only with that person’s authorization and knowledge. You should inform them how we collect, use, disclose, and retain their personal information according to our privacy policy.

How We Might Share Your Personal Information
We may disclose your personal information to other separate services or representatives within Think Clearly only as per their relevance to the data you already provided (e.g. an employee/partner of Think Clearly who deals in a specific field that you expressed interest in). Such disclosure may be required for us to provide you access to Services or content, to comply with our legal obligations, to enforce our Terms & Conditions, to facilitate our marketing and advertising activities, or to prevent, detect, mitigate, and investigate fraudulent or illegal activities related to our Services. We attempt to minimize the amount of personal information we disclose to what is directly relevant and necessary to accomplish the specified purpose.
We do not, and will not, sell, rent, or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties for their marketing and advertising purposes without your consent.
In the event that Think Clearly is acquired by, or merged with a third party, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from you as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the unlikely event of our liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, we may not be able to control how your information is treated, transferred, or used.
How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Information?
We keep your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services you have requested, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our policies.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
None of your personal information is ever stored on any unsecured device or platform nor will it ever be put at risk on unsecured/unprotected services such as cloud computing services. All of the data we collect will always be stored on the servers of any related online service. For example, data will only be stored on the event handler’s website that is Eventbrite, or the mailing list software that we use which is MailChimp, or on the servers of our site host that is WordPress. We do not store your data on any of our own in-house servers or systems or sites. Your data is secured and protected by the highest levels of enhanced security protocols that Eventbrite, WordPress, and MailChimp have to offer. Think Clearly also has in place protocols such that only the relevant agents, employed by us, will have access to those services used by us (WordPress, Eventbrite, Mailchimp etc.). Your data will never be put at risk or compromised in any way. All emails from us will be sent via the protocols, systems, and servers of our mailing list software that is MailChimp, to ensure your data is properly handled. All of these measures serve to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Furthermore, our employees and third party service providers have access to your non-public personal information only on a “need to know” basis. We follow industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission, and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Links To Other Websites
Our Think Clearly website may contain links to enable you to visit other websites of interest easily. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over those other website(s). Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting those other sites. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to that website in question.
Miscellaneous
In the event that any provision of this Privacy Policy is held unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected, and the unenforceable provision will be replaced with an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision.
