PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy describes the data protection practices of Producer University Inc. (“Producer U,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect and use about you when you access or use our website and related online services (the “Services”).

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE HANDLE YOUR INFORMATION. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.


Information We Collect

We collect information about you through the means discussed below. We need certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you. If you do not provide such information, or ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.

1. Information You Provide to Us

We collect a variety of information that you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information from you through:

  • The Services you use or when processing your orders
  • Requests or questions you submit via online forms, email, or otherwise
  • Your participation in sweepstakes, contests, or surveys
  • Any reviews that you submit about the Services
  • Account registration and administration of your account
  • Uploads or posts to the Services
  • Requests for customer support and technical assistance

Information about you. While parts of the Services may not require you to provide information that directly identifies you by name, the specific types of information we collect depend on the Services you use, how you use them, and the information you choose to provide. The types of data we may collect directly from you include:

  • Email address
  • Name, if you choose to provide it
  • Log-in credentials, if you create an account
  • Billing information, such as shipping address of a gift card recipient, credit or debit card number, verification number, postal code, and expiration date
  • Phone number, if you choose to provide it
  • Information about purchases or other transactions with us
  • Information about your customer service interactions with us
  • Demographic information such as your gender or other profile details you choose to provide
  • User-generated content, such as comments, survey responses, class reviews, or forum posts
  • Classes in which you enroll
  • Any other information you choose to provide in connection with your use of the Services

Information about others. If you request that your purchase be provided to someone other than yourself (for example, a gift recipient), we use the information you provide about that person to fulfill the shipment.

2. Information We Collect Through Automated Means

When you use our Services, we collect certain information as described in this section. We and our service providers may use a variety of technologies, including cookies and similar tools, to assist in collecting this information.

Websites. When you use our website, we collect and analyze information such as your IP address, browser type and language, operating system, device attributes (including device IDs), referring and exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, pages viewed and their order, date and time of use, content watched, total minutes watched, error logs, and other similar usage information.

Location Information. When you use the Services, we and our service providers may automatically collect general location information from your device or IP address (for example, city, province/state, or postal code).

3. Information We Collect From Social Media and Other Content Platforms

If you access the Services through a third-party connection or log-in (for example, a social network), you may allow us to access and store certain information from your social network profile, depending on your settings. This can include your name, gender, profile picture, “likes,” check-ins, and your list of friends. If you do not wish to have this information disclosed, do not use a social networking connection to access the Services. Please refer to the privacy policies and terms of use of those services for details on how they handle your information. You may also have the option of posting your Services activities to social networks; if you use this feature, your connections on those services may be able to view such activity.

4. Information We Collect From Others

We may receive additional information such as demographic and statistical data from third parties, including business partners, marketers, researchers, and analysts, which we may attribute to you. We use this information to supplement the information we collect directly from you in order to infer possible interests, provide more relevant experiences, and improve our products, analytics, and advertising.


How We Use Your Information

We, or our service providers, use and process your information (including, in some instances, through the use of artificial intelligence and large language model technologies) for the following purposes:

  • Provide the Services.
  • Complete purchases and provide requested Services, including invoicing and accounting.
  • Communicate with you and provide support, including responding to requests and providing customer service.
  • Provide updates and information about classes in which you have enrolled.
  • Marketing and content customization, including contacting you about Producer U and third-party products, services, surveys, research studies, promotions, and events, and customizing the content and advertising you see.
  • Business operations, including understanding interests and needs, improving the Services through research and testing, creating new products, features, and services, securing our websites and applications, and resolving crashes or other issues.
  • Legal purposes, including complying with applicable laws and regulations and establishing, exercising, or defending legal rights.

Combined Information. We may combine information collected through the Services with information received from other sources, both online and offline, and use such combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Aggregate/De-identified Data. We may aggregate and/or de-identify any information collected through the Services so that it can no longer reasonably be linked to you or your device. We may use and disclose such information for any purpose.


Cookies and Similar Technologies

To collect the information described above, we and our service providers use Internet server logs, local storage, cookies, tracking pixels, and similar technologies (“cookies”). We use these technologies to recognize your device, store preferences, understand which pages you visit, tailor content and advertising, perform analytics, and assist with security and administrative functions.

You can change your browser settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. See your browser’s Help section for instructions. Blocking some or all cookies may impact certain features of the Services. For more details, see our Cookie Policy.


Online Analytics and Advertising

1. Analytics

We may use third-party web analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect and analyze usage information; conduct auditing, research, or reporting; assist with fraud prevention; and provide certain features. To prevent Google Analytics from using your data for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on here.

If you receive email from us, we may use analytics tools (such as clear GIFs) to capture data such as when you open a message or click links. This helps us gauge the effectiveness of our communications and campaigns.

2. Online Advertising

The Services may integrate third-party advertising technologies that allow delivery of relevant content and ads on the Services and on other sites and apps you use. Ads may be based on page content, information you enter, your searches, demographic data, user-generated content, and other information we collect. Ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and across other websites and services.

Third parties may place cookies or other tracking technologies on your device to collect information, including your email address, for advertising purposes. We neither have access to nor control over those technologies, and this Privacy Policy does not govern their use. To learn more about tailored advertising and your choices, visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out page, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out page, or Your Online Choices. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google Display Network ads, visit Google Ads Settings. Availability and accuracy of these mechanisms are not controlled by us.

If you opt out, you will still see advertising, but it will not be tailored based on your behavior over time.

3. Notice Concerning Do Not Track

Do Not Track is a browser setting that signals your tracking preferences. We provide meaningful choices through the opt-out mechanisms above, but we do not currently recognize or respond to DNT signals. Note that DNT is different from a legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signal addressed in “Your Rights and Choices.”


How We Disclose Your Information

Service Providers. We disclose information to select third parties who perform services on our behalf, including sales, marketing, product features, advertising, analytics, AI and speech-to-text services, research, customer service, data storage, security, fraud prevention, payment processing, and legal services. They are prohibited from using your information for other purposes.

Protection of Producer U and Others. We may access, retain, and disclose information as required by law or when we believe in good faith that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, enforce our terms and policies, respond to claims, respond to your requests, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Producer U, our users, or the public.

Business Transfers. We may transfer information in connection with a merger, acquisition, partnership, financing, or sale of assets. If additional mandatory restrictions apply under law, we will comply with them.

Public Forums. Certain features allow you to post comments publicly. Information you submit is not confidential and may be used for any purpose and visible to the public and search engines.

Aggregate/De-identified Information. We may disclose aggregated or de-identified information about use of the Services. Such disclosure is unrestricted.


Retention of Your Information

We retain information no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed, subject to legal and compliance requirements.


How We Protect Your Information

We take technical and organizational measures to protect information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No Internet or email transmission is fully secure. Please keep this in mind when disclosing information via the Internet.


Third-Party Links and Features

The Services contain links to third-party websites and plug-ins. Your use of those sites or features may disclose information to those third parties and to the public depending on how their services function. Their collection and use of your information are governed by their privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.


Children’s Privacy

The Services are intended for general audiences and not for children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without valid parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. We do not knowingly process data of EU residents under 16 without parental consent and will delete such data if discovered. We also comply with other age restrictions as required by local laws.


Your Rights and Choices

1. General Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including to:

  • Be informed about categories of personal information collected or disclosed; sources; purposes; and categories of third parties to whom we disclose information
  • Access and/or receive a copy of certain personal information
  • Correct or update personal information
  • Delete certain personal information
  • Object to or restrict processing
  • Revoke consent where processing is based on consent
  • Transfer your information to a third-party provider
  • Opt out of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, if applicable

You also have the right to opt out of “sales” of your information and “processing” or “sharing” for targeted advertising as described below. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request and you may designate an authorized agent to submit certain requests. To inquire or exercise rights, email [email protected]. If we deny your request, we will provide information about how to appeal where applicable.

2. Opting Out of Marketing Emails

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails via the unsubscribe link in our emails. We will continue to send administrative messages such as order confirmations and policy updates.

3. Notice of Right to Opt Out of Sales and Targeted Advertising

As explained in “Online Analytics and Advertising,” we may disclose certain information to advertising and analytics partners. Such disclosure may be considered a “sale” of personal information or “processing” or “sharing” for targeted advertising under applicable laws. To opt out of such disclosures via online technologies, click here. To opt out of offline disclosures subject to opt-out rights, email [email protected]. We do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 without legally required authorization. If your browser sends a legally recognized opt-out preference signal, we recognize it as required by law.


Legal Bases for Use of Your Information

  • Contract: Necessary to perform our obligations under a contract with you.
  • Legitimate Interests: Necessary for our legitimate interests or those of others, including providing and securing the Services, operating our business, making and receiving payments, complying with legal requirements, and preventing fraud.
  • Legal Obligation: Where processing is required by applicable law.
