INFORMATION COLLECTED

In the course of operating the essence coaching services, we may collect two types of information about our users: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.

“Personal Information” is personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, email address, birth date and gender. Personal Information is collected by us, or a third party engaged by essence coaching, when you choose to provide such Personal Information to us, or an advertiser or sponsor listed on essencecoaching.ca, such as when you choose to subscribe to an essence coaching service, respond to and fill out a survey or purchase from essencecoaching.ca.

Business contact information such as the name, title, business address, email address or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization is not considered Personal Information.

“Non-Personal Information” is information of an anonymous nature, such as an Internet Protocol Address (IP Address), the domain you may have used to access an essence coaching service, the type and version of browser or operating system you may be using, and the website you may have come from and visit next. Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users, number of visitors and average time spent on an essence coaching service, is also considered Non-Personal Information.
