PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: January 2021
Bena Stock, doing business as Bena Stock Counselling & Consulting (“BSCC") is committed to maintaining robust privacy protections for its users. BSCC’s Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to help you understand how BSCC collects, uses, and safeguards the information you provide, and to assist you in making informed decisions when using BSCC’s service.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Service” refers to BSCC’s service which can be accessed via BSCC’s website at www.benastock.com (the “Site”) where users can view BSCC’s services, sign up for notification of upcoming courses or newsletters, download educational materials, or contact BSCC. In this Privacy Policy, the terms “my” and “I” refer to BSCC. “You” refers to you, as a user of my Service. By accepting my Privacy Policy, you consent to the collection, storage, use, and disclosure of personal information as described in the Privacy Policy.
INFORMATION I COLLECT
I collect “Non-Personal Information” and “Personal Information.” Non-Personal Information includes information that cannot be used to personally identify you, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic information I may collect, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, preferences you submit and preferences that are generated based on the data you submit and number of clicks. Personal Information includes only your email, which you submit through the registration process at the Site.
INFORMATION COLLECTED VIA TECHNOLOGY
To view my website you do not need to submit any Personal Information. However, in an effort to improve the quality of the Service, I track information provided to me by your browser or by my software application when you view or use the Service, such as the website you came from (known as the “referring URL”), the type of browser you use, the device from which you connected to the Service, the time and date of access, and other information that does not personally identify you. I track this information using cookies, or small text files which include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to a user’s browser from my servers and are stored on the user’s computer hard drive. Sending a cookie to a user’s browser enables me to collect Non-Personal information about that user and keep a record of the user’s preferences when utilizing my services, both on an individual (but anonymous) and aggregate basis.
I may use both persistent and session cookies; persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your session and until you delete them, while session cookies expire when you close your browser.
INFORMATION YOU MAY OPTIONALLY PROVIDE
In addition to the information provided automatically by your browser when you visit the Site, to subscribe to obtain notice of new courses, my newsletter, or submit a contact form, you are authorizing me to collect, store and use your email address and other information you may choose to provide in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
HOW I USE AND SHARE INFORMATION
PERSONAL INFORMATION
I do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share for marketing purposes your Personal Information with third parties without your consent. I do share Personal Information with 3rd party vendors who are performing services for BSCC, such as the servers for my email communications who are provided access to user’s email address for purposes of sending emails from me. Those vendors use your Personal Information only at my direction and in accordance with my Privacy Policy.
In general, the Personal Information you provide is used to help me communicate with you. For example, I use Personal Information to contact users in response to questions, solicit feedback from users, personalize advertising, and inform users about upcoming events or offers (if you have opted in to receive material).
NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION
In general, I use Non-Personal Information to help improve the Service and customize the user experience. I also aggregate Non-Personal Information in order to track trends and analyze use patterns on the Site. This Privacy Policy does not limit in any way my use or disclosure of Non-Personal Information and I reserve the right to use and disclose such Non-Personal Information to my partners, advertisers and other third parties at my discretion.
HOW I PROTECT INFORMATION
I have implemented security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. I only collect necessary information such as your name and email address and only store this information in secure environments.
YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING THE USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
You have the right at any time to prevent me from contacting you for marketing purposes. When I send a promotional communication to a user, the user can opt out of further promotional communications by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in each promotional e-mail. Please note that notwithstanding the promotional preferences you indicate by either unsubscribing or opting out in the Settings section of the Site, I may continue to send you administrative emails if you are a client of BSCC.
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
As part of the Service, I may provide links to or compatibility with other websites or applications. However, I am not responsible for the privacy practices employed by those websites or the information or content they contain. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by BSCC through the Site and the Service. Therefore, this Privacy Policy does not apply to your use of a third-party website accessed by selecting a link on my Site or via my Service. To the extent that you access or use the Service through or on another website or application, then the privacy policy of that other website or application will apply to your access or use of that site or application. I encourage my users to read the privacy statements of other websites before proceeding to use them.
CHANGES TO MY PRIVACY POLICY
I reserve the right to change this policy and its Terms of Service at any time. I will notify you of significant changes to the Privacy Policy by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your account, or by placing a prominent notice on my Site. Significant changes will go into effect 30 days following such notification. Non-material changes or clarifications will take effect immediately. You should periodically check the Site and this privacy page for updates.
