Privacy & Data Policy

These terms of use apply to your use of all of the Sites and services owned, hosted, or operated by Ilka Oster (collectively “we,” “us,” or “our”), including any that we have owned or operated, do own and operate or may own or operate in the future including social media sites (collectively, the “Sites”). Unless we say otherwise, all references to the Sites in these terms of use include all such Sites. These terms of use do not apply to your use of unaffiliated Sites to which any of the Sites may link to or direct you to.


 


We, Ilka Oster, collect your information and can be contacted anytime at Ilka Oster. You can lodge any complaints with us via that same email, or request to be removed from our email lists, targeted advertising or phone lists.


We are committed to protecting your privacy and security and have explained in detail the steps we take to do so. 

 

When you submit information to us or visit any of our sites, we use it in an ongoing nature to ensure you receive the information or purchases you’ve made with us, to deliver relevant future content via our email newsletters, to track how much you use our sties or services, and to make future offers through our company or any other company that is involved in delivering your purchases, bonuses or content. By giving us your contact information at any time, you are granting us the right to contact you in the future in any manner necessary at our discretion for ongoing personal and professional development. You can unsubscribe from our email newsletters at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link found at the bottom of all of our emails.



How and why we collect information

We collect your email address when you submit it, and some limited website information and behaviour, in order to record and support your participation in the activities you select or in order to contact you or advertise to you later. If you register for a seminar, for example, the information you give us – your phone number, email, and address – is used to reserve your seat, to track your preferences, and to keep you informed about the seminar and related personal development content, offers, and events until you unsubscribe or ask for your data to be removed. If you visit our websites, we may use Facebook, Google or other tracking tools to understand your behaviour on our websites and to deliver advertising to you in the future.

 


As a visitor to our Sites, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal information. In connection with other activities, such as utilising registering for a seminar or webinar, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, we may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including ZIP code), e-mail address, , telephone, credit card, and other personal information. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity. In all cases, we will collect personal identification information like your email or phone number only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. We will also tell you how we use your information or if we share it with another party.



Except as otherwise provided in this policy, we will never sell any personal identification information about you as an individual user to any third party without having received your permission. If you supply us with your contact information you may receive periodic e-mails, mailings or calls from us with information on new products and services, important issues, or upcoming events.


 

When you use our Sites, we or our authorised technology services provider may also collect certain technical and routing information from you to facilitate your use of the Site and its services or to contact you or advertise in the future.



We use this information to administer the Site and to understand and measure traffic patterns on the Site so that we know which areas of our sites are favourites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve our sites for mobile and future technical platforms. This information is collected mostly in aggregate form, without identifying you or any user individually, however in some cases we use tools like cookies, web beacons, analytics services, and advertising providers to gather data about you or your computer location. We may use this statistical data for statistical analysis, marketing, advertising, or similar promotional purposes. This data is often tracked by us our our technology services provider by using “cookies” or “pixels” during your visit. A cookie is small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card and enables us to record your passwords, purchases, and preferences and to deliver targeted messages or advertising to you in the future. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. (For some web pages that require an authorisation, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies will probably not be able to access those pages.


We also use Facebook “pixels” on many of our pages so that we can understand your digital behaviour and potentially later target you with related advertising. We also use Google Analytics to understand how long you might spend on our Sites or how you interact with our Sites.



As always, you can unsubscribe from any of our emails at any time via the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email you received from us.


We do not store any information about you on our servers other than that which you submit into one of our forms, and in any case we hold your sensitive information like your credit card information we use software that keeps it encrypted. Any other information stored happens via cookies or pixels as described above, and as facilitated via 3rd party tools (like Facebook or Google). Here is an example of how we may use any information to better communicate with you:


Provide and administer the Services, including to display customized content and facilitate communication with other users;

Process your requests and orders for courses, products, specific services, information, or features;

Communicate with you about your account by:

Responding to your questions and concerns;

Sending you administrative messages and information, including messages from instructors and teaching assistants, notifications about changes to our Service, and updates to our agreements;

Sending you information and in-app messages about your progress in courses, rewards programs, new services, new features, promotions, newsletters, and other available courses (which you can opt out of at any time);

Sending push notifications to your wireless device to provide updates and other relevant messages (which you can manage from the “options” or “settings” page of a mobile app);

Manage your account preferences;

Facilitate the Sites’ technical functioning, including troubleshooting and resolving issues, securing the Services, and preventing fraud and abuse;

Solicit feedback from users;

Market and administer surveys and promotions

Learn more about you by linking your data with additional data through third-party data providers or analyzing the data with the help of analytics service providers;

Identify unique users across devices;

Tailor advertisements across devices;

Improve our Sites and develop new products, services, and features;

Analyze trends and traffic, track purchases, and track usage data;

Advertise the Services on third-party websites and applications;

As required or permitted by law; or

As we, in our sole discretion, otherwise determine to be necessary to ensure the safety or integrity of our users, employees, third parties, the public, or our Services.

When you submit information to us, then, we use it in an ongoing nature to ensure you receive the information or purchases you’ve made with us, to deliver relevant future content via our newsletters, and to make future offers through our company or any other company that is involved in delivering your purchases.


As an example, if you purchase certain courses from us, you may receive a bonus coaching session which is delivered from Ilka Oster by a separate system or company that runs that particular program. To deliver that coaching, we share your information with such system so they can contact you to schedule that coaching call(s) you received as part of your purchase. At any time, you can contact us not to have your information shared with such service providers, but you may lose access to certain purchase bonuses or items if you do not allow the delivering third-party to contact you.


 

As most of our programs are for ongoing educational purposes in the field of personal and professional development, you should assume we will continue to contact you in perpetuity via email or via social media in order to deliver our services, serve you related content, make recommendations, learn about your preferences, grant you products, deliver programs to you with or from other platforms or companies, advertise to you or look alike audiences, send you surveys, and other fulfilment or marketing purposes.



By using our site(s) and submitting any information with us, you agree to these terms without exception and agree to waive liability and not hold us liable for any use of your information, in perpetuity, under any circumstances, including waiving your right to participate or initiate any class action complaints.

We may also transfer user information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of related assets or corporate division or other fundamental corporate change. Further, the information you enter when making a purchase or an online donation will be shared with payment processors, financial gateways, and your credit card company to authorize credit card payments. Such information may also be shared with necessary third parties solely for the purpose or carrying out the transactions.
