This data is collected by Squarespace in accordance with its own Privacy Policy (available at squarespace.com). We do not directly control or store this technical data.

C. Cookies
Squarespace, as our hosting platform, may place cookies or similar tracking technologies on your device when you visit the Site. You may configure your browser to refuse cookies; however, some features of the Site may not function properly as a result. We do not independently deploy cookies beyond what Squarespace sets as part of standard platform operation.
For visitors located in regions that require it, including the European Union and the United Kingdom, the Site presents a cookie consent banner that asks for your agreement before any non-essential cookies are set. You may withdraw your consent at any time through your cookie settings or your browser controls.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
• To review and respond to coaching applications and keynote speaking inquiries
• To communicate with you about your submission or potential engagement
• To send informational or marketing communications, if you have opted in or we have a legitimate basis to do so
• To improve the content and user experience of the Site
• To comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. If you provide a phone number, we may use it to contact you about your inquiry or potential engagement. We do not send marketing or promotional text messages without your prior consent. Any text communication that takes place as part of an active coaching engagement is governed by your separate written agreement with us.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in limited circumstances:
• Platform and Service Providers — Squarespace and other trusted vendors who assist in
operating the Site or communicating with you, subject to confidentiality obligations

appropriate notice
• With Your Consent — in any other circumstance, with your explicit permission
4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, maintain business records, and comply with applicable legal obligations. Application and inquiry data not resulting in an engagement will generally be retained for a reasonable period and then deleted or anonymized.

including the right to:
• Access the personal information we hold about you

This Site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
