In this Privacy Policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Matthias J Barker LLC.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or your personal information, you may contact us at support@matthiasjbarker.com.
Children’s Privacy
Our website, products, services, workshops, and programs are not intended for children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years old. Children under 13 are prohibited from using interactive portions of this website, including submitting forms, leaving comments, registering for events, or purchasing products. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you sign up for emails, newsletters, free resources, or downloads; register for workshops, webinars, presentations, or events; purchase a product, course, membership, or service; fill out a form, survey, quiz, checkout page, or application; access private membership or course pages; leave comments or submit information through our website; or contact us by email, form, SMS, or other communication method.
The information collected may include your name, email address, phone number, billing information, mailing address, purchase history, workshop registration details, communication preferences, and any other information you choose to provide.
Because some of our resources relate to trauma, relationships, emotional health, and personal growth, you may voluntarily provide information about your experiences, challenges, goals, or circumstances. Please only share information you are comfortable providing.
You are not required to provide personally identifiable information simply to browse or visit the website.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages viewed, links clicked, referring website, search terms, and other usage data.
We may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to analyze website performance, understand visitor behavior, improve user experience, remember preferences, track registrations, purchases, and conversions, measure advertising and marketing performance, and customize the content or ads you may see.
We may use social media pixels or advertising technologies from platforms such as Meta, Google, YouTube, TikTok, or other advertising providers. These tools may allow those platforms to recognize visitors to our website and show relevant advertising on their own platforms, subject to their own privacy policies.
Where required, we will ask for your consent to use cookies or similar tracking technologies. You may be able to disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the website may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals. Because there is not always a consistent industry standard for these signals, our response may vary. Where legally required, we honor applicable browser-based privacy choices.
Information From Other Sources
We may receive information about you from third-party platforms or service providers we use to operate our business, such as email marketing providers, form tools, webinar platforms, checkout processors, membership platforms, customer support tools, SMS providers, analytics tools, and advertising platforms.
This may include your name, email address, phone number, registration details, purchase details, engagement data, or communication preferences.
How We Use Your Information
We may use your personal information to send emails, newsletters, reminders, and educational content; register you for workshops, webinars, events, or presentations; deliver free resources, products, memberships, courses, or services; process purchases, payments, refunds, and customer transactions; provide customer support; send event reminders, replay links, product updates, and related communications; improve our website, products, services, customer experience, and marketing; analyze traffic, engagement, advertising performance, and conversions; personalize content, recommendations, or marketing messages; oversee promotions, contests, or special offers; enforce our terms, policies, and legal rights; and comply with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or security obligations.
If you have given us permission, we may also use your information for internal or external marketing and promotional purposes.
Email Communications
If you sign up for a free resource, register for an event, make a purchase, or otherwise request information from us, we may send you email communications related to that resource, event, purchase, or topic.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in our emails. Please note that unsubscribing from marketing emails does not necessarily stop transactional, administrative, or purchase-related communications.
SMS and Text Messaging
You may choose to receive SMS or text messages from us by providing your mobile phone number and giving consent through our website forms, checkout pages, registration pages, or other clearly disclosed consent methods.
Consent to receive SMS or text messages is not a condition of purchase.
SMS or text messages may include event reminders, workshop reminders, replay notifications, content alerts, customer support communications, product updates, and, where you have consented, promotional or marketing messages.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out of SMS or text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. You may also contact us at support@matthiasjbarker.com for assistance.
No mobile information will be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile phone numbers and SMS consent data may be shared only with service providers acting on our behalf and only as necessary to provide messaging services, customer support, CRM functionality, analytics, checkout functionality, or similar operational services.
Opting out of SMS messages does not automatically unsubscribe you from email communications, and unsubscribing from email communications does not automatically opt you out of SMS messages. These preferences are managed separately.
Who We Share Your Information With
We respect your privacy and do not sell, trade, or transfer your personally identifiable information to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.
We may share personal information with trusted service providers who help us operate our website, business, products, services, events, communications, and customer transactions. These may include payment processors, checkout and billing platforms, email marketing platforms, SMS or text messaging providers, webinar and event platforms, membership or course platforms, form and survey tools, customer support tools, website hosting and analytics providers, advertising and tracking platforms, contractors, consultants, or professional service providers who help us operate our business.
These providers may only use your information as necessary to provide services to us or as otherwise permitted by law.
We may also disclose personal information when necessary to comply with the law, enforce our terms and policies, protect our rights, protect the rights or safety of others, prevent fraud or abuse, respond to lawful requests, or complete a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Contests, Promotions, and Special Offers
From time to time, we may collect personal information in connection with optional contests, promotions, giveaways, or special offers.
If we need to share your information with third parties to administer a promotion, contest, or offer, we will disclose that at the point of participation where required.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, fulfill purchases, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
We may retain contact, purchase, billing, and customer support records for up to six years or longer where required by law, tax, accounting, security, or legitimate business purposes.
International Data Transfers
Our website and business are operated in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, including in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Canada, please be aware that information you provide may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States.
The United States may not have the same data protection laws as your country of residence. By using our website, participating in our services, or providing your information, you consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of your information in the United States, subject to applicable law.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, or share; access the personal information we hold about you; correct inaccurate personal information; request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances; object to or restrict certain processing; request a copy of your information in a portable format; opt out of direct marketing; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, where applicable.
If you would like to exercise any privacy rights available to you, please contact us at support@matthiasjbarker.com.
To help us process your request, we may ask you to provide enough information to identify you, such as your name, email address, registration details, purchase details, or other information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and locate your records.
California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights
Residents of certain U.S. states, including California, may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. These may include the right to know, access, correct, delete, or opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information.
We do not sell mobile phone numbers or SMS consent information. We also do not share mobile phone numbers or SMS consent information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
To submit a privacy request, contact us at support@matthiasjbarker.com.
Keeping Your Information Secure
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
We limit access to personal information to those who have a legitimate business need to access it. Those who process personal information on our behalf are expected to do so only in an authorized manner and may be subject to confidentiality obligations.
However, no website, online service, database, or transmission method is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information you provide to us.
If we become aware of a data security incident requiring notice under applicable law, we will notify affected individuals and authorities as legally required.
Public Comments, Communities, and Social Media
If you post comments, testimonials, messages, or other information on public areas of our website, social media pages, groups, communities, or related platforms, that information may be visible to others.
Please use caution when sharing personal information in public or community spaces. We are not responsible for unauthorized use of information you choose to make public or share in such spaces.
Links to Other Websites
Our website, emails, products, or services may include links to third-party websites, platforms, products, services, advertisers, partners, sponsors, or resources.
We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, policies, or actions of third-party websites. Any information you provide to third-party websites is governed by their own privacy policies.
Complaints
If you have a concern about how we use your personal information, please contact us first at support@matthiasjbarker.com so we can try to resolve the issue.
If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the country where you live, work, or where an alleged privacy violation occurred.
