YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SITE INDICATES TO US THAT YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE WITH OUR PRIVACY POLICY AND THAT YOU ACCEPT ANY CHANGES THERETO, WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE ACTUALLY REVIEWED EITHER THE POLICY OR ANY CHANGES THERETO.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect your Personal Data (as defined below) on the Site, how we protect such data, and the choices you have concerning our use of such data. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. This Privacy Policy represents our current (as of the date first written above) data collection and usage practices. Linda Gale will from time to time review and revise these practices. We will post any changes to this Privacy Policy here. Please refer back to this Privacy Policy on a regular basis. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Linda Gale”, “we”, “us”, and “our” means Linda Gale and her agents, affiliates and websites.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by the Site. We are not responsible for the privacy of any information (i) that you reveal or post in any public forum that may be or in the future become available on the Site (e.g., message board or chat room), (ii) that is available now to the general public through no action or fault of Linda Gale, or (iii) that Linda Gale receives from any third party reasonably known to have a legal right to transmit such information and under no obligation to keep such information confidential. We are also not responsible for the privacy practices of websites that are operated or owned by third parties.
Information Collection
When you visit the Site, Linda Gale collects information about you and your browsing habits. The information we collect depends on the pages of our website you visit and what you do during your visit.
Linda Gale may collect information from you automatically when you visit our website, which may include the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet; the Internet protocol (IP) address of your computer; the type of browser and software operating system you use; the date and time you access our website; and the Internet address of the website from which you linked to our site.
Several companies offer tools that allow people to browse the web anonymously. We cannot provide you a personalized experience if you use these tools, because we cannot recognize you and your computer. However, we want to ensure you know of their existence.
Linda Gale Site(s) may also use cookies to enhance browsing on our website. “Cookies” are small files or records that are placed on your computer’s hard drive to collect information about your activities on our website. You can choose to have your browser warn you every time a cookie is being sent to you, and you can turn off cookie placement. If you refuse, your overall browsing experience can be affected and may prevent you from fully using the Site.
Our membership program and pay-per-view video applications requires that you be identified through the use of a cookie which only identifies your IP address, username and password. If you refuse to allow this cookie to be added to your browser for security purposes you will not be able to view protected videos in our membership only platform.
Linda Gale may also use “message format” and “message open” sensing technologies to enable Linda Gale to recognize whether you have enabled your email program to receive HTML emails. If so, this information is associated with your email address so that we can send subsequent messages to you in HTML format. The “message open” sensing technology allows us to recognize whether you have opened our email messages. We can only detect this if you have enabled your email program to receive HTML emails.
Collection of Personal Data
For most of the browsing services on the Site, Linda Gale does not require your personal information. There are portions of the Site that require registration and membership, where you will be required to provide information about you. The information that you may be asked to provide may include your name, birthday, email address, telephone number, address, city, state and zipcode. It is your discretion and determination whether to provide such information. Your refusal to submit the required personal information prohibits your ability to benefit from membership activities and privileges.
Collection of Personal Financial Informaton
Linda Gale requests additional Personal Data from you when you enroll in, subscribe to or agree to purchase any of our paid goods and services on the Site. That process may require that you provide your name, e-mail address, postal address, phone number, credit or bank card or other form of payment.
PERSONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION IS ONLY REQUIRED WHEN YOU ARE MAKING A PURCHASE OR DURING REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT OF A MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTION. ALL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE PROCESSED ON PAYPAL.COM. WE DO NOT COLLECT, CAPTURE, RECEIVE OR STORE ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON OUR SERVERS OR OFFLINE.
IN ADDITION, WE WILL NEVER REQUEST YOUR PERSONAL LOGIN INFORMATION AND/OR ANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY PHONE, EMAIL OR A LETTER. ALL TRANSACTIONS THAT INVOLVE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ARE CONDUCTED ON OUR SITE. ALL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE CONDUCTED ON PAYPAL.COM THROUGH A REGISTRATION OR PURCHASE FORM ON OUR SITE. IF ANYONE ASKS FOR YOUR USERNAME, PASSWORD OR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION BY EMAIL, PHONE OR IN A LETTER – IT IS NOT FROM Linda Gale PRODUCTIONS.
In all of these cases, we will collect Personal Data from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. We will not sell, share, license, trade or rent your Personal Data to anyone, unless required by a law enforcement agency. We may, from time to time in emails, alerts or other mailings you have agreed to accept from us, include advertisements or offers from or information about third parties. This does not and will not mean that Linda Gale endorses any specific products or services available from such third parties. Such materials from those third parties, regardless of their relationship with us, are provided merely for information purposes and users should make their own judgments and evaluation of any services or products available on any other web sites.
Collection of Monitoring Data and Use of Tracking Tools
In addition to Personal Data, Linda Gale may collect and/or track information that by itself is not used to identify you personally or to contact you, e.g., demographic information, domain names, computer type, browser types, screen resolution, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of the Site (“Monitoring Data”). We use Monitoring Data to help us understand who uses the Site and to improve and market it and Linda Gale’s other websites.
To enhance the Internet experience on the Site, Linda Gale may use various Internet technologies such as, without limitation, ‘cookies,’ ‘action tags,’ ‘web bug,’ ‘.gif tags,’ and ‘JavaScript’ (together, “Tracking Tools”). Tracking Tools are files or tools that are placed on your computer in order to identify your Web browser and the activities of your computer on the Site. Linda Gale uses these technologies to customize and enhance the internet experience of individual users. When you revisit the Site, Linda Gale may recognize you by a Tracking Tool and customize your experience accordingly. For example, once you have completed the membership registration process, a cookie will be used to avoid having you register again. You may decline Internet cookies, if any, by using the appropriate feature of your Web browser software, if available. If cookies are disabled, however, all features of the Site may not operate as intended. Information about the procedure you are required to follow in order to disable cookies can be found on your Internet browser provider’s website.
We believe Tracking Tool technologies add value to the user experience, and the information obtained through these technologies is not sold or otherwise made available to third parties by Linda Gale, other than as may from time to time be specified in this Privacy Policy.
Use of Tracking Tool Data Collected
Linda Gale may use the Tracking Tool Data it collects for editorial and feedback purposes, marketing and promotion, statistical analysis of users’ behavior, product development, delivering products and services, providing customer support, customizing and improving the content and layout of the Site or other web sites of Linda Gale, completing business transactions, administering individual accounts and meeting government regulatory requirements such as sales tax collection. Tracking Tool Data may be used for internal or external purposes such as researching and identifying market segments and needs. Linda Gale may disclose your Personal Data to unaffiliated third parties if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary (a) to comply with applicable laws, rules, or regulations, or to preserve Linda Gale’s legal rights in the Site’s content, whether the same arises from contract or through force of law; (b) to provide you with any services, information, special offers, promotions or products you requested or consented to and to allow us to perform other activities related to such services and products; or (c) to operate this Site and other of Linda Gale’s systems properly.
Linda Gale may also share your Tracking Tool Data with a third party that is specially trained in serving your needs and requests (“Third-Party Providers”). You may instruct us at any time not to share your Personal Data with such Third-Party Providers by contacting us in the manner provided under “Your Choices Regarding Personal Data Collection and Use”. Please note that this process may take up to ten (10) days to complete. Linda Gale makes no representation regarding the length of time this process may take, only that we will perform the update as soon as reasonably practicable.
Linda Gale is not responsible for any further use or disclosure of your Personal Data by Third-Party Providers; such use or disclosure is governed by the Third-Party Providers’ privacy policies.
Linda Gale reserves the right to transfer Personal Data and Tracking Tool Data it collects to successors to the relevant portion of any of Linda Gale’s businesses, or to independent contractors it engages to assist with or perform on Linda Gale’s behalf any of the foregoing activities. Also, if Linda Gale’s assets are subject to a claim in bankruptcy, Personal Data and Tracking Tool Data may be an asset subject to the claims of a trustee in bankruptcy and may be available to Linda Gale’s creditors. In addition, Linda Gale reserves the right to use Personal Data to contact you regarding your account status and changes to this Privacy Policy, the Terms and Conditions, Other Agreements (if applicable) or any other policies, agreements or transactions relevant to your use of the Site. Linda Gale will take reasonable steps to maintain the integrity of the collected data so that it is reliable and appropriate for the foregoing uses.
Your Choices Regarding Personal Contact Information Collection and Use
Linda Gale does not require you to provide personal contact information in order to use the Site. However, if you choose to not provide requested personal information, when required during membership registration, your ability to use all of the Site’s features may be limited or you may not receive the information that you are requesting. By choosing to provide personal contact information, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. You can cancel your membership at any time and your personal contact information will be deleted from our server. However, if you wish to access the member protected articles, lessons, videos and products in the future, you will be required to submit your personal contact information and purchase a membership subscription at the current price.
Whenever you join our membership program, you may modify, correct, change or update Personal Contact Information in the members dashboard. You may also submit a request for the modification via a contact form on our website.
You should be aware that it may not be technologically possible to remove or verify each and every record of information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your Personal Data may exist in archived systems. However, promptly after receiving your request, all Personal Data stored in databases we actively use and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed, deleted or confirmed to you, as appropriate, as soon as reasonably practicable.
Links to Third-Party Websites

Linda Gale does not endorse, and is not responsible for, the privacy practices or the content of these websites. When you click on links on the Site and you are directed to Other Sites, you will be subject to the third parties’ privacy policies. Linda Gale cannot and does not accept responsibility for the contents or actions of any third-party website(s). We encourage you to read the posted privacy statement of every site you visit, whether you are linking from our site or browsing on your own.
BY ACCESSING OTHER SITES, YOU MAY SIGNIFY YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THOSE SITES’ PRIVACY POLICIES, WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE ACTUALLY REVIEWED THEM AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY DIFFER FROM THOSE OF Linda Gale. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THOSE PRIVACY POLICIES, YOU SHOULD NOT ACCESS THE LINK OR THE OTHER SITE. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU SHOULD ANY OTHER SITE VIOLATE ANY UNDERSTANDING WITH YOU CONTAINED THEREIN OR IN THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE OTHER SITE WILL MEAN THAT YOU AGREE THAT YOU SHALL HOLD US HARMLESS IN THE EVENT SUCH OTHER SITE VIOLATES ANY UNDERSTANDING WITH YOU CONTAINED THEREIN OR IN THIS AGREEMENT.
Security Measures
Linda Gale has established reasonable precautions to protect collected Personal Data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction, which include contractual, administrative, physical, and technical steps. Technical measures include use of firewall protection and encryption technology where appropriate. Although Linda Gale takes reasonable precautions to assess the reliability of such technology, it relies on the statements of the vendors of those products and services as part of its security evaluation.
BY USING THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT TO THE FACT THAT Linda Gale SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR FAILURES OF SUCH PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND THAT YOU SHALL HAVE RECOURSE SOLELY AGAINST THE MANUFACTURERS OR VENDORS THEREOF.

By using the Site, you acknowledge and consent to the fact that Personal Data provided by you or collected by us through your use of the Site is stored and processed by us in the United States where data protection laws may not afford the same level of protection as those of the country in which you are located (this is the case for users located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”)). You also acknowledge and consent to the fact that we may, at our discretion, store and process such data in other countries (including countries outside the EEA) where data protection laws or law enforcement systems, policies or professionals may not afford the same level of protection as those of the country in which you are located.
Privacy Protections for Children Using the Internet
