"Smart Start Session" is committed to lawful, fair, and transparent collection of your data. This policy governs data collection by us and our partners, affiliates and members (collectively the “Company”) when you purchase or use our products, services, software, and website (collectively the “Services”). We encourage you to read them carefully. In the meantime, we provide a quick overview below. 

NAVIGATING THROUGH THIS STATEMENT

Smart Start Session Coaching Corporation ("Smart Start Session", "us", "we", or "our") thanks you for visiting our website and the online and mobile resources we publish. We use the words "you" and "your" to mean you, the reader, and other visitors to our online and mobile resources who are, in all cases, over the age of 18. Our privacy statement ("this statement", "this privacy statement" and "our statement") informs you about from whom and the types of personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with and why, and what we do to try to protect it.

Personal information generally means information that can be used to identify you or that can be easily linked to you (for example, your name, address, telephone number, email address, social security number and date of birth). The privacy laws in some jurisdictions include unique elements in what they consider to be the personal information of the consumers or data subjects they protect. If those laws apply to us, as in the case of the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) or European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 ("DPA"), our use of the phrase “personal information” includes the unique elements required by such laws.

The categories of information we collect from each of these groups, and the ways in which we use it, differs. As you may have noticed, it’s possible that the same person could fall into more than one group. Most of this statement addresses our processing and sharing of personal information collected from visitors to and users of our online and mobile resources and our customers.

There are two types of information that we obtain from you online and then store and use: (i) non-personal information that’s collected automatically from each visitor, such as your device operating system; and (ii) personal information that you voluntarily provide to us or that is collected automatically.

By using our online and mobile resources or purchasing our products or services, you are signifying to us that you agree with this section of our privacy statement and that we may use and disclose your information as described.

We may collect the following information directly from you:

When you visit our online and mobile resources, basic information is passively collected through your web browser via use of tracking technologies, such as a “cookie” which is a small text file that is downloaded onto your computer or mobile device when you access the online and mobile resources. It allows us to store some information about your preferences or past actions. We collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including: details of your visits to our website and information about your computer and internet connection.
