Privacy Policy

 

Trend Following™ Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from https://www.trendfollowing.com (the “Site”).

Modification Date: December 23, 2024
Effective Date: June 1, 2018

We care about how businesses use our information online, and we care about your privacy. We also value precision and clarity of language, so we organized this Privacy Policy into three distinct segments: 1. For those individuals in the European Union; 2. For those individuals in California; and 3. For those individuals everywhere else.

Please review the segment that applies to you based on where you are located geographically.

Thank you!

Personal data is information that can be used to identify you such as your name, IP address, and email address. We process personal data from you in a number of ways including:

(1) Purchases: Your name, email address, and credit card information although we use a third party known as Stripe to collect and process this data.
(2) Log in: Your name, email address, and password when you log in to your account.
(3) Customer Service: Your name, email address, and reason for contacting us.

(3) Customer Service: Your personal data is used to evaluate your inquiry and provide you with answers.

C. What Legal Basis Do We Have For Collecting and Processing Your Information?

Websites must have a legal basis for collecting information from individuals located in the European Union. Our legal basis for each of the ways we process your data is as follows.

(1) Purchases: We process your data as part of an allowed contractual transaction.
(2) Log in: A legitimate interest exists for allowing you to access your account.

(3) Customer Service: A legitimate interest exists for providing you with answers to your questions. When you affirmatively contact us, your expectation is we will use your personal data to reply with an answer and we have a legitimate business interest in providing customers and potential customers with answers to their questions.

D. Who Has Access To The Data We Collect?

We process and access you data as described above through the help of third parties that have the digital infrastructure that we do not and without whom we would be unable to provide Flagship Training including:

These third parties have made contractual promises to not use your personal data in any manner we do not authorize.
