What personally identifiable information does coachingplatform Inc. collect from me?

Some personal information is gathered when you register. During registration, coachingplatform Inc. asks for your name, email address, birth date, gender, zip code, occupation, industry and personal interests. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize your experience. Once you register you are no longer anonymous to coachingplatform Inc. - you are given a coachingplatform Inc. ID and are able to take full advantage of coachingplatform Inc.'s many offerings.

In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you enter a sweepstakes, contest or promotion sponsored by coachingplatform Inc. and/or our many partners; and when you report a problem with one of our sites or services. If you contact coachingplatform Inc. we may keep a record of that correspondence. coachingplatform Inc. also occasionally asks users to complete surveys that we use for research purposes. Wherever coachingplatform Inc. collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.

How does coachingplatform Inc. use my information?

In our role of delivering targeted advertisements, coachingplatform Inc. plays the middleman. Advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience they want to reach (for example, males over 35 years old). coachingplatform Inc. takes the advertisement and displays it to users meeting that criteria. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual account information. Only coachingplatform Inc. has access to individuals' accounts. This kind of advertisement targeting is done with banner ads as well as promotional email through coachingplatform Inc. Delivers. You will only receive special offers via email from coachingplatform Inc. if you have indicated in your account preferences that you would like to receive them. You can change your account preferences at any time.

coachingplatform Inc. does research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files or from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. coachingplatform Inc. may share this aggregated data with advertisers or business partners.
