Privacy Policy
WHO WE ARE
This website is owned and operated by Alex Sauret. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors while they interact with the content, products and services on this website (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy applies to the Website only. It does not apply to other websites to which we link. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want you to understand what information we collect about you, how we collect it, how that information is used, and how you can control our disclosure of it. You agree that your use of the Website signifies your assent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Website.
WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY WE COLLECT IT
1. INFORMATION COLLECTED
Through the use of pages on this website and interaction with our products and services, we may collect data from you. Sometimes the data we collect relates to you or identifies you. Our goal is always to maintain the highest levels of privacy and security with your personal data, in keeping with the principles of the Federal Trade Commission Act and related regulations, the General Data Protection Regulation, and applicable local privacy laws. We will always try to give you appropriate notice of what data we collect and how we will use it, and we will only process your data when we consider it is fair and lawful to do so.
We collect your personal information when you provide it to us when you create an account, complete membership registration and buy or provide items or services on our website, subscribe to a newsletter, email list, submit feedback, enter a contest, fill out a survey, or send us a communication. We collect two types of information from you: information that personally identifies you (e.g. through a voluntary registration process, sign-ups or emails); and information that does not personally identify you.
Information that personally identifies you
We collect personally identifiable information when you choose to use certain other features of the Website, including:
i) one creates a user account (for example, when you register for an account, you will be asked to provide certain basic information, such as your name, email address, username, password, company name, occupation, location, and phone number). We may also use this information to respond to your inquiries, to interact with you directly, providing you with new upcoming content information, or promotional information from our affiliated companies.
ii) consenting to receive email – The submission of information by users to Alex Sauret is done on voluntary basis. When a user clicks the “Submit” button on any of our web forms at our website, the users are indicating they are aware of Alex Sauret’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy provisions and voluntarily consent to the conditions outlined therein. We may send you a notification about upcoming changes or improvements to our services, or to help solve any issues you might be facing. You may opt-out from receiving future promotional information at any time. Occasionally, we may also request information such as your shopping preferences and demographics which will help us better serve you and our others users in the future.
iii) billing and communications information (for example, if you purchase one of our products, you may also need to provide us with payment and billing information, such as your credit card details and billing address). Alex Sauret will maintain a record of your billing transactions and purchases, and any communications and responses.
When you choose to use these additional features, we require you to provide your contact information, such as name, e-mail address, phone number, etc. We do not automatically collect such information when you visit our website. We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services, to develop new ones. Personally identifiable information is used solely to address your specific request and it is not sold to third parties or market researchers.

Non personal information may include the Web browser you used to visit the Website, the time you visited the Website, which Web pages you visited on the Website, and other anonymous Website usage data. For example, when you visit https://alexsauret.com, you need to know that we use third party services, such as Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out the number of visitors to the various parts of the Website. The information we collect includes unique identifiers, browser type and settings, device type and settings, operating system, mobile network information including carrier name. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. Google Analytics does not make any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.
