Information We Collect About You
When you access the Website, the Company will learn certain information about you during your visit.
Information You Provide To Us. The Website provides various places for users to provide information. We collect information that users provide by filling out forms on the Website, communicating with us via contact forms, responding to surveys, search queries on our search feature, providing comments or other feedback, and providing information when ordering a product or service via the Website.
We use information you provide to us to deliver the requested product and/or service, to improve our overall performance, and to provide you with offers, promotions, and information.
Information We Collect Automatically. When you visit the Website, our hosting and security systems may automatically record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and the date and time of your visit. We use this to keep the Website secure and working properly. Information such as your IP address, and the online identifiers set by the tools described below, can identify you, so we treat it as personal information.
Use of Cookies And Pixels
We use cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel, only as described in our Cookie Policy. Optional analytics and advertising cookies are set only with your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page.
If you accept advertising cookies and then fill in a form on this Website, the Meta Pixel may also send Meta a scrambled (hashed) version of details you enter, such as your email address and first name, so that Meta can match your visit to a Facebook or Instagram account. If you do not accept advertising cookies, the Meta Pixel is not loaded and this does not happen. You can read how Meta uses this information in Meta’s Privacy Policy.
Email Information
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received online, mail, and telephone. This also applies when you register for our website, sign up through any of our forms using your email address or make a purchase on this site. For further information see the email policies below.
Email Policies
We are committed to keeping your e-mail address confidential. We do not sell, rent, or lease our subscription lists to third parties, and will not disclose your email address to any third parties except as allowed in the section titled Disclosure of Your Information.
We will maintain the information you send via e-mail in accordance with applicable law.
We use MailerLite as our email service provider. If you sign up to receive our emails, or have done so in the past, your first name and email address are stored by MailerLite, which processes them on our behalf as our data processor so that we can send you the emails you have asked for. MailerLite does not use your information for its own marketing. You can read how MailerLite handles personal data in its privacy policy.
All e-mails sent from our organisation will clearly state who the e-mail is from and provide clear information on how to contact the sender. In addition, all e-mail messages will also contain concise information on how to remove yourself from our mailing list so that you receive no further e-mail communication from us.
Our emails provide users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us by reading the unsubscribe instructions located at the bottom of any e-mail they receive from us at anytime.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials may opt-out of receiving these communications by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the e-mail.
How And Why We Collect Information
The Company collects your information in order to record and support your participation in the activities you select. If you register to download a book or resources, sign up for our newsletter, and/or purchase a product from us, we collect your information. We use this information to provide the resources, products or services you asked for and to remember your preferences. We only send you marketing emails if you have opted in, as explained below. As a visitor to this Website, you can engage in most activities without providing any personal information. It is only when you seek to download resources and/or register for services that you are required to provide information.
When you request a free resource, take part in a free training programme, register for a webinar, live event or seminar, or purchase a product from us on this Website, we use the details you give us to provide what you asked for. We will only add you to our email newsletter, or send you other marketing emails, if you have clearly agreed to receive them. Requesting a free resource or making a purchase does not, on its own, sign you up to our newsletter.
This applies to every visitor, wherever you are located. The Smart Funnel is operated from the United Kingdom, so we follow the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) for all marketing emails. If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time. We include an “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of every email we send. If you ever have trouble unsubscribing, you can send an email to laurenthesmartfunnel [at] gmail [dot] com requesting to unsubscribe from future emails.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
We use personal information for purposes of presenting our Website and its contents to you, providing you with information, providing you with offers for products and services, providing you with information about your subscriptions and products, carrying out any contract between you and the Company, administering our business activities, providing customer service, and making available other items and services to our customers and prospective customers.
Some pages on this Website contain affiliate links. If you click one and buy from that third party, we may earn a commission, but we do not pass your personal information to them. Anything you give them directly is covered by their own privacy policy.
From time-to-time, we may use the information you provide to us to display advertisements to you that are tailored to your personal characteristics, interests, and activities.
Disclosure Of Your Information
As a general rule, we do not sell, rent, lease or otherwise transfer any information collected whether automatically or through your voluntary action.
We may disclose your personal information to a third party, including a lawyer or collection agency, when necessary to enforce our terms of service or any other agreement between you and the Company.
We may provide your information to any successor in interest in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of the Company’s asserts and/or business.
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights or when compelled by a court or other governmental entity to do so.
How Do We Protect Your Information and Secure Information Transmissions?
We employ commercially reasonable methods to ensure the security of the information you provide to us and the information we collect automatically. This includes using standard security protocols and working only with reputable third-party vendors.
Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send private information to us by email. However, doing so is allowed, but at your own risk. Some of the information you may enter on our website may be transmitted securely via a secure medium known as Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL. Credit Card information and other sensitive information is never transmitted via email.
The Company may use software programs to create summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas.
For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, the Company uses software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.
Policy Changes
It is our policy to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you by email to the email address specified in your account and/or through a notice on the Website home page. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the bottom of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Website and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
Your Data Protection Rights (UK GDPR and EU GDPR)
The Smart Funnel is operated from the United Kingdom, so we handle personal data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. If you are in the European Union, you also have rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR). Those rights include:
We will retain any information you choose to provide to us until the earlier of: (a) you asking us to delete the information, (b) our decision to cease using our existing data providers, or (c) the Company decides that the value in retaining the data is outweighed by the costs of retaining it.
You have the right to request access to your data that the Company stores and the rights to either rectify or erase your personal data.
You have the right to seek restrictions on the processing of your data.
You have the right to object to the processing of your data and the right to the portability of your data.
To the extent that you provided consent to the Company’s processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based upon consent that occurred prior to your withdrawal of consent.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, you have the right to complain to the UK supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or by calling 0303 123 1113. If you are in the European Union, you can also complain to the data protection supervisory authority in the EU member state where you live or work.
We require only the information that is reasonably required to enter into a contract with you. We will not require you to provide consent for any unnecessary processing as a condition of entering into a contract with us.
