This Privacy Policy was created on October 4, 2024 and posted on October 23, 2024.

 

Sounding Line, Sounding Line Performance Coaching, and Sounding Line Careers, (hereafter “SL,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” and “us”) is furnishing this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) to (“you,” “your,” and “their”), to explain how we collect, use, and share information that is capable of being associated with — or could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly with — a particular individual consumer or household (“Personal Information”).

​

Personal information does not include information which is publicly available, anonymized or aggregated, and other information which is excluded from the scope of applicable privacy laws.

​

It is our objective to responsibly collect, use, and protect your Personal Information gathered through this website. This includes when we interact with our website visitors, manage our employees and contractors, or handle inquiries that may result in marketing communications sent via email or text message, or direct services provided to individuals who choose to work with us in a legally binding contractual context (collectively, the “Services”).

​

Our Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use, applicable law, and other agreements with you, together govern our relationship as it relates to your Personal Information. Our collection, use, and sharing of Personal Information will vary based on our relationship or interaction with you. Through your use of and by engaging in the Services, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy and consent to the data collection, use and sharing we describe in this Policy.

​

Categories & Sources of Information

We collect, use, and share Personal Information from various sources to perform the Services and to accomplish our business and commercial purposes and business objectives. You supply most of the Personal Information in our possession, whether directly when you or your authorized agent provide the information to us so that we can provide Services, or indirectly from the collection or generation of information in the course of our provision of Services. Should you choose not to provide some of the Personal Information we request, we may be unable to provide you with one or more of the Services.

​

Internet Users. If you use our website or any of its subdomains or subdirectories, you may provide contact and other information (e.g., through a “Contact” form or “email subscription” form) to enable us to furnish you with information about our Services. You also may provide contact and other information when using email outside of our website. In addition, your Internet web browser will provide other information automatically, as described immediately below:

 

Automatic Data Collection. We collect certain information when you use our website or Services. This information may include your internet protocol (“IP”) address, cookie identifiers, mobile carrier, website browser name and version, operating system or device, location information, internet service provider, pages that you visit and links you click on our website, and other information about how you use our website. Information we collect may be associated with accounts and other devices.

​

Anonymized or Aggregated Information. We record certain anonymized or aggregated information about your use or evaluation of our website. Anonymized or aggregated information is used for a variety of functions, including the measurement of interest in and use of various portions or features of our website. Anonymized or aggregated information is not Personal Information, and we may use such information in a number of ways, including internal analysis. We may share this information with third parties for our purposes in an anonymized or aggregated form that is designed to prevent anyone from identifying you.

​

Cookies and Pixels. Similar to other consumer internet services, our website may use “cookies” — a small piece of computer code that enables our Internet servers to “identify” users each time an individual user initiates a session on our website. A cookie may be set in order to identify you and tailor our website to you. Cookies do not store any of the Personal Information that you provide to us; they are simply identifiers. You may delete cookie files yourself at any time through your internet website browser settings. However, cookies may be necessary to provide access to some of the content and features of our website.

​

Pixel Tags. Along with cookies, we may use “pixel tags,” also known as “web beacons,” which are small graphic files that allow us to monitor the use of our site. A pixel tag can collect information such as the IP address of the computer that accessed a page on our website on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the type of internet website browser used to fetch the pixel tag; and, the identification number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server.

​

“Do Not Track” Technology. We do not collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different web sites or online services. Therefore, our website does not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals. We do not knowingly authorize third parties to collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different web sites or online services.

​

How We Share Personal Information

We will not share or disclose your Personal Information except as follows:

​

No Renting, Selling or Trading Your Personal Information. We will never rent, sell, or trade your Personal Information to unaffiliated third parties, such as sellers of goods or services, for their own business or commercial purposes.

​

Sharing with Service Providers. There are circumstances in which we may share your Personal Information with non-affiliated third-party service providers, including to perform business and technology related functions and to support the provision of the Services. For example, we may use third-party providers to provide services such as a secure customer relationship management platform for our use only, or a customer portal for your use only. We require these third parties to maintain the privacy and security of the Personal Information they access.

​

Information from Third-Party Platforms

We collaborate with third-party platforms, including OneLifeTools, Positive Intelligence, and YouScience, to provide certain services. When you access these platforms through us, they may share certain information with us, such as your username, progress, and usage statistics. Please review their respective privacy policies to understand how they collect and use your information:

 

To Protect Ourselves or Others. We may share your Personal Information as required by law, such as when we reasonably believe it is necessary or appropriate to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to comply with law enforcement or legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; to protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety; to enforce our policies or contracts; or, to collect amounts owed to us for services rendered.

​

Website and Social Media. We share the images and professional experience of our employees and partners on our website and through social media platforms.

​

Disclosure in the Event of Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, purchase or sale of assets, or transition of service to another business entity, then your Personal Information may be transferred as part of such a transaction, as permitted by law and/or written agreements between you and us.

​

Your Choices About Personal Information

General. You have certain choices about the use and disclosures of your Personal Information, as set out in this Privacy Policy.

​

You may decline to provide Personal Information to us. Declining to provide Personal Information may mean that we will be unable to provide Services to you (e.g., consulting, content, and content updates).

​

Security

We take reasonable steps, endeavoring to use appropriate technical or organizational measures, to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet, email, or electronic operating system that enables the transmission of data is ever fully secure or error free. Therefore, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.

​

Social Media and Links to Other Web Sites

This Privacy Policy and these terms apply only to our website, Services, and practices. Our website may contain links to other internet websites, applications, social media platforms, resources, and information for your convenience that are not operated or controlled by us.
