Privacy Policy

Your Privacy Is Our Priority
Welcome to The Innovative Edge's website. We are committed to providing you with the best possible online experience, as well as excellence in our leadership experiences and coaching services. We thank you for reviewing our privacy policy, and know that you will check back for any updates, on your future visits. We look forward to helping you.

We respect your privacy, and intend our site to be a safe place for everyone who visits and corresponds with us. Privacy is the confidentiality and protection you expect when sharing important information. The information you provide is required to fulfill your request for a product, service or additional information, or to enter and participate in one of our forums. We are committed to keeping your information confidential. No action is required on your part for this benefit. You should recognize, however, that there is no such thing as perfect security on the Internet.

Information We Collect
The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected include: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs, and services. When you register as a user, you are asked to enter your name and email address plus additional information. As such, we are collecting all the information that you yourself input. We may also collect information when we ask you marketing questions, or when you ask to receive any of our newsletters or to participate in our forums.

While you are using our websites, we may also collect certain non-personally-identifiable information about you, such as the URL you just came from, the next URL you go to, what browser you are using (e.g. Netscape, Internet Explorer), the domain name of your Internet Service Provider (e.g. AOL, Earthlink), and your IP address. We also use "cookies," which are pieces of information that websites transfer to your computer's hard drive for record-keeping purposes and to track and customize advertising served to you.

How We Use Your Information
We may use the information you provide to fulfill your requests for products, programs, information and/or services, to respond to inquiries, offerings, and to offer you third party products, programs or services that may be of interest to you. We also use the information collected from you to better understand the demographics, interests and behavior of our collective audience or to deliver targeted advertisements and promotions. We do not share individual information about you with advertisers in the process, but rather as an aggregate to profile our collective audience. Our partners may also share the aggregate information we provide with third parties, or it may be shared with independent market research companies.

We may have to disclose information about you to law enforcement, other government officials or third parties in order to comply with applicable law or legal process (e.g. a court order or subpoena) or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

The materials on this website are intended to be for informational purposes only and are not intended to be an advertisement or solicitation to provide advice and do not create a formal consultative engagement between The Innovative Edge and our visitors. The giving of information shall not be deemed an offer or solicitation on our part with respect to the sale or purchase of any services, nor shall it be considered legal, investment, financial planning, tax, or business advice. You should not act or rely on any information on this website without seeking the advice of a competent financial planner, tax advisor or attorney.

Specifically, we furnish the information available on this website without responsibility for accuracy and you agree that errors contained in such information shall not be made the basis for any claim, demand or cause of action against us.

The website also includes facts, views, opinions and recommendations of individuals and organizations deemed of interest. We cannot and therefore do not guarantee or check the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of, or otherwise endorse, these views, opinions or recommendations.
