Last Modified: June 23, 2021
BRAINADVIZOR inc. (“BRAINADVIZOR” or “we”) acknowledges how important your privacy is and we are committed to protecting your data while providing a safe and secure user experience on our BRAINADVIZOR Website.
This Privacy Policy deals with the collection, confidentiality and security of visitor and customer information on our website, such as email addresses and browsing activity.
We have not made any significant changes to the way we collect and process data about our users, since we were already compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into force on May 25, 2018. However, we have updated this policy to provide you with more information about our processes.
Furthermore, we use Stripe Payment Gateway for all online merchant transactions, and Stripe has been audited by an independent Payment Card Industry (PCI) Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and is certified as a PCI Level 1 Service Provider. This is the most stringent level of Data Security Standard certification available in the payments industry.
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into the BRAINADVIZOR Terms & Conditions, and applies to the use of BRAINADVIZOR.COM website and content including BRAINADVIZOR’s General Visitor Use (“Visitor”), BRAINADVIZOR’s content, products and services (“Products & Services”) and BRAINADVIZOR’s Membership services (“Member”). Please read carefully.
This Policy governs the information we collect about you and the use of the information we provide to you. By accepting this Policy and the Terms & Conditions Agreement, you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your personal information only in a manner prescribed in this Policy. You acknowledge this by using the BRAINADVIZOR Website.

As a participant, coachee or even visitor to BRAINADVIZOR inc. and www.BrainAdvizor.com, you can be assured that any information you share with us will be treated with appropriate security and confidentiality.

Communications and Support
If you contact us for support via our website or LiveChat presence or to report a problem or concern (regardless of whether you have created an account), we collect and store your contact information, messages, and other data about you like your name, email address, location, operating system, IP address, and any other data you provide. We use this data to respond to you and research your question or concern, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
1 on 1 Coaching service data
When you become a client of our coaching service we may record your exchanges with coaches via the ZOOM as an add-on service offering. All recordings are stored in Google Business Suite Drive because of its highly secure data protection standards.

We use Google forms to capture any of the above data because of its highly secure data protection standards as per Google Business Suite.
Automated Data
Like the majority of successful online websites, when you access our Products, Services and Membership offerings (including browsing tools and courses), we also collect certain data by automated means, including:

BRAINADVIZOR.com, like the majority of successful online websites, uses a third party analytics service provider, Google Analytics, that uses cookies to record general site usage information – like page visits and the way users move between pages on the Site. This general site analytics information is not matched to your user account.
GENERAL DATA
We may also reserve the right to use non-personal information (e.g., de-identified or aggregate data) for any purpose. For example, we show aggregate performance measures to users to allow them to evaluate their performance against other BRAINADVIZOR users anonymously. This helps motivate members to reach their goals knowing that others have reached theirs as well.
