Super Connector Media Privacy Policy

(last updated February 2024)

Thank you for visiting our website (“Site”). Super Connector Media (“SCM” or the “Company”) is committed to treating the personal and corporate information of our Site users, customers, and vendors with respect and sensitivity.

We’ve updated our Privacy Policy and improved our privacy practices so we can better safeguard your data. This Site also uses cookies to personalize your experience and target advertising. By continuing to use our Site, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy, and our Terms and Conditions.

This Privacy Policy (together with our Terms and Conditions and any other policies referenced) identifies how we will collect and process any personally identifiable information, such as your name, email, address, financial account information, etc., that we collect from you, or that you provide to us.

If you are a California resident, our privacy practices comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), and any CCPA-specific information is identified in this Policy.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), this Privacy Policy also outlines additional policies applicable to our collection and processing of your personal information.

As our services evolve and we perceive the need or desirability of using your personal data collected in other ways, we may from time to time amend this Privacy Policy. The effective date appears at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to check our Site frequently to review the current Privacy Policy in effect and any changes that may have been made to it.

By providing your Personal Information to us in any format (e.g., via email, telephone, fax, or in person) and/or continuing to use any of our services or visiting our Site you accept and consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. INTRODUCTION

This Privacy Policy describes how the Company collects, uses, and shares information about visitors to our website at www.superconnectormedia.com, or any other website operated by SCM, attendees of our programs, individuals who contact us to purchase materials or request information, and other users of our services. The Website and our other programs and services are the “Services.” This Privacy Policy describes how we obtain and use personal data (which can be used to identify a specific individual) and anonymous data (which cannot).

Region specific provisions. Certain provisions of this Privacy Policy, which are clearly labelled, apply only to users who are citizens or residents of particular regions (e.g., the EU or California). Otherwise, the Privacy Policy applies to all users of our Services, regardless of location.

Children. The Services of SCM are not directed at children. If you become aware that a child (based on the jurisdiction where the child lives, which in the United States means someone under the age of 13) has provided us with Personal data without parental consent, contact us at the location identified below in the Contact Us section.

2. PERSONAL INFORMATION THE COMPANY COLLECTS

We collect personal information that you enter on our Site or otherwise volunteer to us when you contact us to, among other things, make purchases, request information, or register for or attend our programs. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information (whether stored electronically or in paper based filing systems) relating to a living individual who can be identified from that data (or from that data and other information in our possession). Personal Information comprises the categories of Personal Information defined by the CCPA, which includes:

  • Identifiers - Name, address, email, phone, SSN, driver’s license

  • Other Data - Financial information, medical information, health insurance information

  • Protected Classes - Race, gender, sexual orientation, religion

The examples given in this table are not meant to provide an exhaustive list, but are examples of the kinds of data included in each category. SCM does not collect Personal Information in every one of these categories, and we identify below which categories we collect.

Personal Information under the CCPA also includes any other category of personal information not included within the CCPA’s definition that are defined in California Civil Code § 1798.80(e). We refer to this category as “Other Data,” and it includes information such as financial information (bank account number, credit card number, debit card number), medical information, health insurance information, and insurance policy number.

SCM collects only Personal Information that is relevant for the purposes for which the data is requested. SCM does not use your Personal Information in any way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it was collected or for which you have consented.

7. PROTECTING CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
