COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
The information we collect about you depends on how you interact with us or use our Services. In this section, we describe the categories of information we collect and the sources of this information.

We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information directly from you when you create an account, make a purchase, submit or post content through our Services (including product reviews and other user-generated content), communicate with us via third-party platforms, sign up for marketing communications from us, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us. The types of information that we collect include your name, email address, billing address, shipping address, phone number, username and password for an account on our website, month and day of birth, gender/gender identity, age, highest level of education, U.S. citizenship status, and any other information you choose to provide. If you make a purchase from us, we work with a third-party payment processor to collect and process your payment information.
Information We Collect Automatically
We automatically collect certain information about your interactions with us or our Services, including:
- Transactional Information: When you make a purchase, we collect information about the transaction, such as product details, purchase price, and the date and location of the transaction.
- Device and Usage Information: We collect information about how you access our Services, including data about the device and network you use, such as your hardware model, operating system version, mobile network, IP address, unique device identifiers, and browser type. We also collect information about your activity on our Services and your interactions with our ads and communications, such as the routes by which you access our Services along with access dates and times, browsing behavior such as pages viewed, links clicked, information about your activity on a specific page, and information about your interactions with our emails.
- Audio and Video Recordings, Photos, and Chat Content: We capture video and audio recordings during class lectures with our instructors. If you contact customer service through our chat feature or by phone, we may monitor and retain those conversations, including for training purposes.
- Information Collected by Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies: We use tracking technologies, such as cookies, pixels, web beacons, APIs, and clear GIFs to collect information about your interactions with the Services. These technologies help us improve our Services and your experience, see which areas and features of our Services are popular, and count visits. For more information about the cookies and other tracking technologies we use and how to disable them, see the Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies section below.
Information We Collect from Other Sources
Additionally, if you create or log into your Addictions Training Institute account or interact with us through a third-party platform (such as Facebook, Apple, or Google), we will have access to certain information from that platform, such as your profile information, profile picture, user ID associated with your third-party platform account, and any other information the third-party platform discloses about you, in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by such platform.
Information We Derive
We may derive information or draw inferences about you based on the information we collect. For example, we may make inferences about your approximate location based on your IP address or infer that you are looking to purchase certain products based on your browsing behavior and past purchases.

TARGETED ADVERTISING AND ANALYTICS
We engage others to provide analytics, serve advertisements, and perform related services across the web and in mobile apps. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, SDKs, device identifiers, and other technologies to collect information about your use of our Services and other websites and mobile apps, including your IP address, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in mobile apps, links clicked, and conversion information. This information is used to deliver advertising targeted to your interests on other companies’ sites or mobile apps and to analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand your activity. In addition, we may share identifiers, like email addresses and phone numbers, with some of our advertising partners. These advertising partners translate that information into a unique identifier that can then be used to show ads that are more relevant to you across the web and in mobile apps. Some of the activities described in this section may constitute “targeted advertising,” “sharing,” or “selling” under certain privacy laws (go to our
Marketing Opt-Out Form for information about how to opt out of these communications at any time).
