I do not sell lists of personal information to data brokers or other companies for money.

However, some third-party technologies, cookies, affiliate tracking systems, or advertising-related technologies may fall within broad legal definitions of a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under certain privacy laws.

Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of these activities, appropriate choices will be provided.

Third-Party Websites

Dante’s Gym contains links to websites that I do not own or control.

These may include:

I take reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information processed through Dante’s Gym.

However, no website, database, server, internet connection, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

I cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never defeat security measures or improperly access information.

You provide information over the internet at your own risk.

Children’s Privacy

Dante’s Gym is a general-audience website and is not directed toward children under 13.

I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If I learn that personal information belonging to a child under 13 has been collected without appropriate authorization, I will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through Dante’s Gym, contact me at:

International Data Transfers

Dante’s Gym is operated from the United States.

If you access Dante’s Gym from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries whose privacy laws differ from those in your location.

Where applicable law requires additional protections for international transfers, the relevant service provider or Dante’s Gym may use legally recognized safeguards.

You may also contact:

joseph@dantesgym.com

Even after you unsubscribe, limited information may be retained as necessary to maintain an unsubscribe or suppression record.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting.

Because there is not one universally accepted standard for responding to all Do Not Track signals, Dante’s Gym may not respond to traditional Do Not Track browser settings unless required by applicable law.

Where legally required and technically supported, legally recognized privacy preference signals may be handled through the website’s consent-management tools.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy when:

  • the website changes;
  • new services or technologies are added;
  • privacy practices change;
  • service providers change; or
  • applicable legal requirements change.

The Last updated date at the top of this page will be changed when the policy is revised.

I encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
