This Privacy Policy explains how Rare Things, LLC and its affiliate Pursuit of Profit Publishing LLC (together, "we," "us," or "our") collect, use, share, and protect personal information. It applies to our websites, funnels, landing pages, member areas, courses, and communities, and to the programs and publishing services we provide. Rare Things, LLC delivers our programs and operates the technology we build for clients. Pursuit of Profit Publishing LLC publishes our clients' books.

1.   Two different relationships

We hold personal information in two different capacities, and different parts of this policy apply to each.

You as our client, prospect, or website visitor. When you visit our sites, inquire about a program, purchase from us, or work with us as an author, we decide how your information is used, and this whole policy applies.

You as a contact of one of our clients. We build and operate sales funnels, pipelines, and courses for our clients inside a separate client account on our CRM platform. If you opted in, registered, or purchased through one of those funnels, you are that client's contact. Your information belongs to that client, and we process it on the client's behalf and under our agreement with them. Section 4 explains what that means for you.

2.   Information we collect

From clients, prospects, and authors. Name, business name, email address, phone number, postal address, billing information (processed by our payment processor; we do not store full card numbers), the content of your communications with us, information you provide during onboarding and applications, information used to verify eligibility for a program, and the materials you supply for your program or book, including recordings, transcripts, manuscripts, photographs, and images.

From website visitors. IP address, browser and device information, pages viewed, referring URL, and similar technical information collected automatically through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.

From contacts in a client's funnels. Name, email address, phone number, the page and form through which you opted in, a record of the consent you gave, your engagement with pages and messages, and your purchase history with that client.

Call and meeting recordings. Calls and meetings with us, and sales calls made on a client's behalf by the phone sales provider described in Section 6, may be recorded for quality, training, and compliance purposes. You will be told when a call is recorded.

We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under eighteen (18).

3.   How we use information

We use information to: deliver the programs, publishing services, and support you purchased; build, host, operate, and improve technology for our clients; produce, register, publish, and distribute books; process payments and calculate amounts due under our agreements; communicate with you about your program or book; verify eligibility for programs; maintain security and prevent fraud; comply with legal, tax, and regulatory obligations; and send marketing about our own programs to people who have asked to hear from us.

4.   If you are a contact of one of our clients

Your information belongs to our client. Our client owns the contact records in their account. We own and operate the technology that holds them, not the data in it.

We use it only to run our client's funnels. We use your information only to host, operate, maintain, improve, and report on our client's funnels and pipeline, to calculate amounts due between us and our client, and to comply with law.

We do not sell it, and we do not market to you. We do not sell or rent your information. We do not send you marketing about our own programs, or anyone else's, because you are in our client's account. The only exception is if you separately sign up to hear from us directly.

If our client leaves. When a client's engagement with us ends, we give the client a copy of their contact records. We then delete or de-identify those records within one hundred eighty (180) days, except records we must keep for legal, tax, regulatory, consent, or dispute purposes, which we keep only for those purposes.

Requests about our client's marketing. If you want to stop receiving a client's messages, use the unsubscribe link or reply STOP. For other requests about a client's use of your information, contact that client directly. If you contact us, we will pass your request to the client and help them respond.

5.   Text messages and phone calls

When you opt in through one of our clients' funnels, the form explains what you are agreeing to. That consent allows the client, and sales representatives acting on the client's behalf, to contact you by phone call, text message, and email, which may include automated or pre-recorded messages. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP, and ask for help by replying HELP. You can ask not to be called at any time by saying so on a call or by contacting the client or us. Opt-out requests are honored promptly and recorded.

6.   Who we share information with

We do not sell personal information. We share it only with the following, and only as needed:

•  Payment processors, including the processor a client designates for funnel transactions.

•  Our CRM and marketing platforms, including GoHighLevel, in which client and contact records are stored and through which messages are sent.

•  Our phone sales provider. Where a client engages our independent phone sales provider, that client's contact records are made available to the provider so it can make sales calls for that client. The provider contracts directly with the client and is responsible for the lawful conduct of its calls.

•  Our publishing partner, printers, and fulfilment providers, which receive an author's manuscript, files, and order information to produce, print, and ship books.

•  Retail and distribution platforms, such as Amazon, through which we publish and sell authors' books.

•  Our e-signature provider, which holds executed agreements, signer IP addresses, and signature timestamps.

•  Professional advisers and authorities, including our accountants, lawyers, and insurers, and any disclosure required by law, subpoena, or a regulator.

If we are involved in a merger, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, information may transfer as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.

7.   Cookies, pixels, and advertising

Our websites, and the funnels we host for clients, use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for site functionality, analytics, and measuring the performance of advertising. Where a client advertises to a funnel we host, advertising platforms' tracking technologies may be present on those pages. Some state laws treat certain advertising uses of this information as "sharing" or "targeted advertising." You can opt out by contacting us using the details in Section 13, and we honor browser-based Global Privacy Control signals as an opt-out request where the law requires it. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect how parts of our sites work.

8.   How long we keep information

•  Client, author, and prospect records: for as long as the relationship continues and for seven (7) years afterwards, for records, legal, and tax purposes.

•  Contact records in a client's account: for as long as that client's funnels are active, then as described in Section 4.

•  Consent and opt-out records: for at least five (5) years, to demonstrate compliance with telemarketing and messaging law.

•  Executed agreements: for as long as the agreement is in force and for seven (7) years afterwards.

•  Website analytics: for as long as the analytics provider's standard retention period allows.

9.   Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the information we hold. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we learn of a security incident affecting your information, we will notify you where the law requires it.

10.   Your choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from our marketing at any time using the link in any message or by contacting us. Program, publishing, and transactional communications continue while your program or publishing agreement is active.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to access it, to correct it, to delete it, to receive a copy of it in a portable format, and to opt out of the sale of personal information, "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising, targeted advertising, and certain profiling. You may also have the right to appeal a decision we make about your request. To exercise a right, contact us using the details in Section 13. We will verify your identity before acting, and you may use an authorized agent where the law permits. We aim to respond within forty-five (45) days. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a right.

If your request concerns information in one of our clients' accounts, Section 4 applies.

11.   Additional notice for residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws

Where a state privacy law applies to us, this section supplements the rest of this policy. In the past twelve (12) months we have collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers (such as name, email, phone, and IP address); commercial information (such as purchase history); internet and network activity (such as pages viewed); audio recordings (such as recorded calls); and professional or business information (such as business name and revenue range used to verify eligibility). We collect them from you, from your devices, from our clients, and from our service providers, for the purposes described in Section 3, and we disclose them to the categories of recipients described in Section 6. We do not sell personal information. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you.

12.   Children

Our programs and websites are directed to businesses and business owners. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen (18). If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
