This Privacy Policy encompasses the Personal Information we collect at trakehnerleadership.com, an Internet property of Trakehner Leadership, LLC (collectively, “Trakehner,” “us”, “our” or “we”). We have created this privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) to disclose our information gathering and dissemination practices. Please take a few minutes to read it so that you understand how we treat your Personal Information. As we continue to grow as a company, this policy might change, so please check it periodically.

Personal Information

Let’s start with how we define “Personal Information.” “Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked – directly or indirectly – to you, your household, or your employment. Personal Information is more than your name, address, and telephone number. It includes all types of information that can be used to distinguish one person from another and can be used to personally identify data that may have been previously unpublished. Personal Information may be used alone or in tandem with other relevant data to identify an individual and may incorporate direct identifiers, such as driver’s license information, that can identify a person uniquely or quasi-identifiers, such as gender, that can be combined with other quasi-identifiers, like date of birth, to successfully recognize an individual. While we collect some of this information directly from you, much of the information is collected behind the scenes. We use this information to better understand you as a client and your experiences with us so that we can provide you with the service best for you.

We collect Personal Information from you when you: (1) request certain information about Trakehner and services or when you send us information; (2) enter into a business relationship with Trakehner; (3) conduct a transaction where we collect information required by law; (4) visit the Trakehnerleadership.com website (the “Website”) via “cookies;” (5) provide it to us or we collect it from third parties during the course of our providing services to you; (6) provide us with comments, suggestions, feedback or surveys; (7) otherwise submit Personal Information to us via the Social Media Pages that we control; (8) contact us by any means, including attendance at events we may offer; (9) consent to providing your personal information; and/or (10) ask us to deliver services to you.
