ActionCOACH values and is committed to safeguarding your personal information. It is our desire through this policy that you understand how your personal information will be handled when submitted through the ActionCOACH website.
The data and information we collect
ActionCOACH defines “Personal Information” as any identifying information of a website visitor that opts-in through our contact forms. This information is not limited to:
- Your name;

- general company/business name and/or other information;
- your e-mail address;

By default, ActionCOACH.com does not collect any personal data about visitors until they have interacted and submitted their information in any contact form. Non-personal and technical data (such as cookies) are only retained in actioncoach.com in a single session. After you close the browser, all of your information saved by cookies will be discarded.
How we collect data
We collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail, information voluntarily provided by the consumer, such as survey information and/or site registrations.
Upon confirming to have read and agreed to our privacy policy & terms of use and submitting your information, our sales, operations, or marketing team will collect your information, along with a statement that will read as follows:
I, <Your full name>, in accordance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation Laws (if applicable to me), have read and agreed to ActionCOACH’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, and I hereby give my consent that they can contact me through the means I provided in the website and receive any kind of marketing information or advertising.
Personal data is not just created by your interactions with our website. Personal data is also generated from technical processes such as contact forms, comments, cookies, analytics, and third-party embeds.
Comments
If present, ActionCOACH will retain your comments on our website if you posted it at your discretion. Please bear in mind that your opinion is solely yours, and is not represented nor necessarily agreed upon by the company.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
When you voluntarily disclose your personal information on a bulletin board or in a chat area, that Personal Information can be collected and used by other users of the website. This may result in unsolicited messages or e-mails from other users or third parties.
Testimonials you leave for ActionCOACH
Testimonials, like comments, are posted at the user’s discretion. The site currently does not accept Testimonials to be posted directly, however, all of our testimonials are gathered from third party online sources such as Google (Reviews), Yelp, TrustPilot, etc. Whatever data the users provide on these third-party platforms will be governed by that third-party services’ privacy policy.
Subscription to our newsletters
ActionCOACH also collects data from our subscribers through the newsletter. We may or may not use a third party plugin to supply our newsletter script. If we do use a third party plugin, that plugin may collect user information as well.
Embedded content in ActionCOACH.com
Currently, our only embedded content that comes from a third-party source is Google ReCAPTCHA and a number of YouTube videos. The ReCAPTCHA engine is used for spam-prevention methods on all of our contact forms and sign-in pages. Google ReCAPTCHA does not collect information from our visitors for itself, nor does it collect it for ActionCOACH. YouTube will parse information on your browser’s cookies to improve its ad services to you, but their privacy information is separate from ActionCOACH. To read more about Google Products policies, please visit Google’s privacy policy page.
Other embedded content in ActionCOACH comes from other ActionCOACH-developed scripts that are maintained in another location on the server. These scripts collect the same information that all contact forms collect and send them to our internal leads system called ActionLEADs.
