5. Sale, sharing, and targeted advertising

We do not sell personal information for money.

We use the Meta Pixel to share limited technical and browsing information (such as pages viewed and general interactions with our marketing pages) with Meta Platforms, Inc. for advertising measurement and audience-building. Depending on applicable law, this may be considered "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If required by applicable law, we will provide a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism. In the meantime, contact arvin@coachbydesign.com to request that we stop this sharing for your information.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 18.

6. Legal bases for processing

Where a law requires us to state a legal basis, we process personal information as necessary to:

  • Perform our contract with you, including delivering the Academy.
  • Operate and protect our legitimate business interests.
  • Comply with legal obligations.
  • Protect vital interests where appropriate.
  • Act with your consent when consent is required.

You may withdraw consent for future processing where consent is the applicable basis. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

7. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide permanent certificate records, meet legal and accounting requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce agreements.

Our retention practices are:

  • Account and course records: while the account is active and for 3 years afterward.
  • Payment and transaction records: for the period required by tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, and financial laws.
  • Assessment and certificate records: retained indefinitely. The Coach By Design Certified credential does not expire, so we keep the records needed to verify it for as long as the Academy operates.

  • Marketing records: until you unsubscribe or we no longer need the information, subject to maintaining a suppression record so we can honor your request.

Backups may retain information temporarily until they are overwritten under our normal backup cycle.

8. Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.

No online service or storage system can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for choosing a strong password, protecting your credentials, and notifying us if you suspect unauthorized access.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authority and identity verification.

10. California privacy notice

If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, applies to us and to your information, California residents may have rights to know, access, correct, and delete personal information; opt out of sale or sharing; limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and receive nondiscriminatory treatment.

During the preceding 12 months, we may have collected the categories described in Section 2, including identifiers, customer records, commercial information, internet or electronic-network activity, professional information, and educational/course activity.

We collect, use, retain, and disclose those categories for the purposes described in Sections 3–7.

We do not sell personal information. We use the Meta Pixel on our marketing pages, which may constitute "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law.

To exercise an applicable California right, or to ask us to stop this sharing, contact arvin@coachbydesign.com. If required by applicable law, we will also provide a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism.

The Academy is intended for coaches and other adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

Coaches must not submit identifying information about youth athletes in reflections, Try It at Practice observations, support messages, or other Academy features.

12. Email communications

We may send transactional or service-related messages about account confirmation, password resets, payment, security, course activity, feedback, and certificates.

If we send promotional emails, you may unsubscribe through the link in the message or by contacting us. Unsubscribing from marketing does not stop necessary account, transaction, or security messages.

13. Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies, local browser storage, and related technologies to:

  • Authenticate users.
  • Maintain secure sessions.
  • Remember settings.
  • Save or synchronize progress.
  • Prevent fraud.
  • Diagnose errors.
  • Measure basic service performance.

We also use the Meta Pixel, an advertising technology from Meta Platforms, Inc., on our marketing pages to measure ad performance and build advertising audiences. Blocking necessary technologies may prevent parts of the Academy from functioning. You can ask us to disable the Meta Pixel for your information by contacting arvin@coachbydesign.com, or block it directly using your browser's tracking-prevention or ad-blocking settings.

14. External links

The Academy may link to external websites or resources. We do not control and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review the privacy policy of any external service before providing information.

15. International users

The Academy is operated from the United States. If you access it from another country, your information may be processed in the United States and other locations where our service providers operate.

Those locations may have different data-protection laws. Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

16. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Academy, our providers, or applicable laws change.

We will post the updated version with a revised effective date. If changes materially affect how we use personal information, we will provide additional notice where appropriate or required.
