Thank you for visiting the Excellence Institute website. Excellence Institute, Inc (hereinafter, “Company”, “Our” or “We”) are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors and this Privacy Policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.
Please read this Privacy Policy before using the Sites or submitting any personal information. California residents, please also see the “Note To California Residents” Section for additional rights that apply to you.
Our Site uses cookies. By using our Site, you accept the privacy practices contained in this Privacy Policy and consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. These privacy practices may change from time to time, but any changes will be posted. You are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy whenever you visit our Site to make sure you understand how any personal information you provide will be used.
We may collect, store, and use personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information as described in more detail in the sections that follow.
Voluntary submissions of personally identifiable information can occur for various reasons, such as if you request to receive information about our services, if you subscribe to one of our mailing lists, or if you purchase one of our products.
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:
Most of your customer information is stored on our secured servers and in a third-party Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) system called Infusionsoft.
By submitting your email address on our Site, you agree to receive email from us. You can cancel your participation in any of these email lists at any time by clicking the opt-out link or other unsubscribe option that is included in the respective email. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to contact them, either directly, or through a third party. We do not send unsolicited commercial emails, because we hate spam as much as you do.
We may also collect various types of non-personally identifiable information to help us make your experience more enjoyable, measure our Sites’ activity to identify future improvements that should be made, and compile aggregate data to help serve site visitors better.
For example, we may use “cookies” as outlined in Section 2 “Cookies”, session logs, web beacons, GIF/pixel tags, banner adds, third-party click tracking analytics tools (such as Google Analytics), third party retargeting networks that may display our advertisements to you on other web sites that you visit to remind you about us, and third party networks that serve user-requested emails (e.g. for a refer-a-friend email) to collect non-personally identifiable or other aggregated information about site visitors.
Cookies are files containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser. We may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on the Sites. Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date. We will use the session cookies to: keep track of you while you navigate any of our other Sites; keep track of items in your shopping basket; prevent fraud and increase website security. We will use the persistent cookies to: enable our Sites to recognize you when you visit; keep track of your preferences in relation to your use of our Sites.
We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our Sites. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users’ computers. The information generated relating to our Sites is used to create reports about the use of our Sites. Google will store this information. Google’s privacy policy is available at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. Our advertisers, payment services providers, and affiliates may also send you cookies. You can learn more about how to opt out of a third party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer (version 9) you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block All Cookies” using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret web browser based “Do Not Track” signals other than cookies, we do not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals that are undefined.
If you visit the Sites with an open ID (such as Facebook), you may also be sharing and integrating data with third-party social media sites, and we may track aggregate data about the number of visits to the Sites with an open ID, the number of items “liked” on the Sites, or items on the Sites that you choose to share with a third-party social media site.
Other parties such as advertising partners and analytics companies may also be collecting information about your online activity across various web sites over time. The information collected by those third parties may include identifiers that allow those third parties to tailor the ads that they serve to your computer or other device.
Personal information submitted to us via any of our website is completely optional will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.

Where you submit personal information for publication on our website, we will publish and otherwise use that information in accordance with the license you grant to us.

All information collected from you is stored in a technically and physically secure environment. We will take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. All electronic transactions entered into via the Sites will be protected by encryption technology.
We use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, and we do everything we can to protect user information offline. You acknowledge that the transmission of information over the Internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet. Therefore, any information that you transmit to us, you do so at your own risk.
You are responsible for keeping your password and other login details confidential. We will not ask you for your password (except when you log in to our Sites).
Furthermore, employees, contractors, and vendors who have access to your personally identifiable information in connection with providing services for us are required to keep the information confidential.
We do not control and are not liable for the actions of any third parties who we may promote and/or link to from our Sites. We pride ourselves in recommending quality companies, but have no control over the actions of those third parties, the content they provide, or their privacy practices. While we are not liable for any of the actions of those third parties, you should feel free to give us feedback from time to time on your experiences with any third parties to whom we work with so that we may enhance our future service to all customers.
We do not knowingly intend to collect personally identifiable information from children under 18 years of age. If your minor child has provided us with personally identifiable information, you may contact us at the email or mailing address listed in Section 8: Contact Us if you want this information deleted from our records. We will then make reasonable efforts to remove your child’s information from the database that stores the information.

If you wish to request that we forget you from our database, please send an email to info@excellenceinstitute.com with the subject line “Forget Me” and explain in the body of the email that you are asking to have your personal data deleted. To protect user privacy, you must send such a request from the account information we have on file or the request will not be honored. We reserve the right to retain any data that we are required to maintain under applicable laws. Some data will be anonymized rather than deleted; this means that some of the data will be held in a form that cannot be connected to you personally. Please be aware that once we delete your data, we will be unable to “undelete” it.
If you wish to request that we export your data, such as for purposes of porting it to another vendor, please send an email to info@excellenceinstitute.com with the subject line “Export My Data” and explain in the body of the email that you are asking for a data export. We have a standard data export format that we will provide and are not able to create custom exports.

You may also have other rights under applicable federal, state, or local laws.

Please read the Terms of Use Policy carefully to understand other terms and conditions that govern your use of this web site. The Terms of Use Policy is hereby incorporated by reference as part of this Privacy Policy.
If any part of this Privacy Policy is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
If you live in the State of California, under the California Civil Code, you have the right to request that companies who conduct business in California provide you with a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed Personal Information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes.
Alternatively, the law provides that if a company has a Privacy Policy that gives either an opt-out (often referred to as “unsubscribe”) or opt-in choice for use of your Personal Information by third parties (such as advertisers or affiliated companies) for marketing purposes, that the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.
Our Sites qualify for the alternative option; they have a comprehensive Privacy Policy and provide you with details on how you may either opt-out or opt-in to the use of your Personal Information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your Personal Information for marketing purposes during the preceding year.
If you are a California resident and want to request information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices, you must send a request to the following address:
Excellence Institute, Inc
