Please note that, to the extent that you disclose or you authorize BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC to disclose your information to other parties, whether they are our vendors, affiliates, sponsors, partners, or service providers, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information disclosed to them.

The Service may contain links to other entities’ websites that are not controlled or operated by BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such third-party websites, and BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC is not responsible for the content of such third-party websites or the privacy practices of such third parties. Therefore, we encourage you to request and review the privacy policies of any third parties upon disclosing your information such parties or visiting such third-party websites.

Colorado residents have certain rights under state law related to the sharing of personal information with third parties for direct marketing purposes. BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC offers a cost-free means to opt-out of disclosure of personally identifiable information for direct marketing purposes as described in the section titled “Choice and Opt-Out Preferences” below.

Collection of Your Personal Information

  1. When do you collect personally identifiable information?

We receive and store any information you knowingly enter on the Service, whether via computer, mobile devices, wireless devices, or that you provide to us in any other way. Information is usually collected from you only if you choose to complete the online forms to register and create an account to (a) become a member of BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC; (b) have access to our products and services; (c) participate in any BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC program; (d) purchase products; (e) sign up for seminars, tutorials, professional development programs, or classes; (f) subscribe to our newsletters or other publications; (g) participate in surveys, report issues, or request information or assistance from us; or (h) post any information on discussion groups, bulletin boards, or forums on our Service.

  1. What information do you collect?

The personally identifiable information that we collect may include your name, e-mail address, address, telephone number, and fax number. Under some circumstances, we may also request and collect additional information that is necessary or appropriate for the completion of a transaction requested by you, such as credit card or banking information and billing address. We may also collect demographic data including, without limitation, through various BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC-led surveys.

We and our authorized service providers acting on our behalf maintain the information provided by you. We may also collect certain technical information that does not identify you personally in connection with the operation of the Service including, without limitation, IP addresses, browser or operating system information, data on purchases, and the websites that you visit before or after you visit our Service. Such information is maintained by BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC or its service providers acting on BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC’s behalf.

  1. How is information collected from my mobile device?

When you use a mobile device like a tablet or phone to access the Service, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers.” Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware; data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software; or data sent to the device by a social media site, such as, but not limited to Instagram.

  1. What information is collected automatically?

When you visit the Service, we may use cookies and similar technologies, like pixels, web beacons, and local storage, to collect information about how you use the Service. This allows BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC to provide features to you, personalize your experience, provide specialized content and support to customers, record session information, recall visitor preferences, and/or simplify the completion of online forms. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can use settings on your browser to disable or turn off cookies. If you choose to reject the cookies used by the Service, you may be unable to access certain areas of the Service, or your use of the Service may be degraded.

We may ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads or notices to your devices, which may use cookies or similar technologies placed by us or the third party. These companies do things like help us deliver ads to people who are most likely to be interested in seeing them, keep track of the number of users who saw a particular ad or visited a particular page on the Service, and analyze the effectiveness of our ads. The ads we display are more effective when they are shown to users who are likely to be interested in the product or service advertised. For this reason, we use the data we collect and receive to help us choose which ads to show to users.

We use third-party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your device or the Service, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assists us in improving the Service. We collect and use this analytics information against analytics information from other Users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual User.

The cookies submitted by BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC’s third-party providers are governed by their own privacy policies. Many advertisers and ad networks participate in voluntary programs to provide tools to opt out of such interest-based advertising.

How We Protect Your Information

Although no one can guarantee the security of the information collected and received, we employ a number of safeguards to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and facilitate the appropriate use of information. Examples of these safeguards include storing data in controlled facilities, limiting access to personal information to employees who need that access to perform their responsibilities, and providing training on privacy and security. 

You understand and agree that Internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. You understand that any messages or information you send to the Service may be read or intercepted by others.

“Do Not Track” Signals

Some web browsers may include features that send a “do not track” signal websites and other online services. Currently, there is no standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC currently does not take action in response to these signals.

Use of Your Personally Identifiable Information

Generally, BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC uses the personally identifiable information we collect about you to provide any products or services requested by you. Upon our collection of your personally identifiable information, BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC may use such personally identifiable information internally, separately, or in combination with pre-existing information.

BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC uses the information you provide us for the purposes of providing any requested products or services including, without limitation, membership services, conferences and institutes, professional development programs, tutorials, classes or other training services, books, subscriptions, polls, curricula, or other products.

Other users may be able to view your username or user ID and the contents of any posts by you (collectively, your “User Posts”).

We may also disclose your personally identifiable information to our affiliates, third-party vendors, or partners whom we occasionally hire to provide services on our behalf including, without limitation, support services, website services, packaging, mailing and delivering promotional materials, marketing, shipping, content distribution or sale, and new services.

BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC will only provide those affiliates or partners with the personally identifiable information they need to deliver the services to us and/or on our behalf and they will be contractually prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. In the event that BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC is involved in a transaction such as a merger, stock purchase or sale, or sale of substantially all of BRAIN FUNCTION MATTERS, LLC’s assets, your personal information may be transferred to the other party in such transaction. For example, if you register and attend one of our conferences, we may share your information with our conference sponsors who helped underwrite the cost of the conference.

We may also disclose your personally identifiable information to our affiliates or other third parties that we believe will be able to provide you with offers, valuable products, services, or other information that may be of interest. Our affiliates include, without limitation, regional educational organizations that are associated with us. When you register for services, you authorize us to share your information with the affiliate in your area. Because our affiliates may keep and use your information whether or not you purchase their products or use their services, your personal information will be subject to their privacy policies and you should contact them directly for more information about their specific privacy policies.

We may disclose aggregate information collected from various surveys to school administrators who have requested the data. Although this data does not include personally identifiable information, in some circumstances, school administrators may be able to identify the participants based on the information provided. Further, from time to time, we may also disclose aggregate de-identified information about users of the Service to service providers, partners, advertisers, or others, but such information will not include personally identifiable information.
