Privacy Policy 


All websites and online learning sites owned or operated by Relationship Toolshop® and its subsidiary niche divisions (herein referred to as “RTITI-owned domains”) understand that privacy online is important to users of our Site, especially when conducting business. This statement governs our privacy policies with respect to those users of the Site (“Visitors”) who visit without transacting business and Visitors who register to transact business on the Site and make use of the various services offered by Relationship Toolshop® International Training Institute, LLC (RTITI ) and its subsidiary divisions (<Niche> Toolshop®) (collectively, “Services”) (“Authorized Customers”).

“Personally Identifiable Information” 

Refers to any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains, including, but not limited to, name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, and credit card information. Personally Identifiable Information does not include information that is collected anonymously (that is, without identification of the individual user) or demographic information not connected to an identified individual.

What Personally Identifiable Information is collected? 

The e-learning platforms we use (i.e. Podia) collects basic user profile information from all of members who have chosen to create an account, to access purchases and secure content. This website and its membership platform does not collect any financial or legal information from its visitors. This is the only information directly collected by this website.

What organizations are collecting the information? 

In addition to our direct collection of information, our third party service vendors who collect and secure data to provide secure contact database management services (email lists services such as Podia, 1shoppingcart or MailChimp) and secure order processing (i. e. Paypal,  Stripe). We do not control how these third parties use such information, but we do ask them to disclose how they use personal information provided to them from Visitors and Authorized Customers. We also verify they are in compliance with all international laws and have had no history of security breaches. Some of these third parties may be intermediaries that act solely as links in the distribution chain, and do not store, retain, or use the information given to them.

How does the Site use Personally Identifiable Information?

We use Personally Identifiable Information to customize the Site, to make appropriate service offerings, and to fulfill buying and selling requests on the Site. We may email Visitors and Authorized Customers about research or purchase and selling opportunities on the Site or information related to the subject matter of the Site. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to contact Visitors and Authorized Customers in response to specific inquiries, or to provide requested information.

With whom may the information may be shared?

We do not share Personally Identifiable Information about Authorized Customers with anyone outside our company. Within our company, representatives may contact Authorized Customers about any issues with their orders. If there is a certified Relationship Toolshop® coach or trainer in a geographic location close to a customer or inquiry who has opted into our mailing list, we may share that person’s contact information with that company representative, so the Authorized Customer or inquirer can be made aware of more personalized services available to them. We will usually ask permission before connecting the client to one of our leaders. We also offer the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving information or being contacted by us or by any agency acting on our behalf.

How is Personally Identifiable Information stored?

Personally Identifiable Information collected by RTITI is securely stored and is not accessible to third parties or employees of RTITI except for use as indicated above.

What choices are available to Visitors regarding collection, use and distribution of the information?

We segment our mailing lists according to geographic locations and customer status (such as graduates, foster parents, etc.), to reduce the amount of unsolicited communications an individual receives and assure that whatever they do receive is appropriate for their interests. For example, only people in a specific zip code would receive notices about live local programs in their area.

Every communication from RTITI provides the opportunity for Visitors and Authorized Customers to control and change their subscription preferences or opt out of receiving unsolicited information from or being contacted by us and/or our vendors and affiliated agencies. If this process fails, since it is performed by a third party vendor, we rely on the customer alerting us to this fact in a timely, respectful manner, so we can follow up with the vendor and manually assure the customer’s preferences are honored.

Are Cookies Used on the Site?

Cookies are used for a variety of reasons. We use Cookies to obtain information about the preferences of our Visitors and the services they select. We also use Cookies for security purposes to protect our Authorized Customers. For example, if an Authorized Customer is logged on and the site is unused for more than 10 minutes, we will automatically log the Authorized Customer off. See our cookie policy for more details.

How does RTITI use login information? 

RTITI uses login information, including, but not limited to, IP addresses, ISPs, and browser types, to analyze trends, administer the Site, track a user’s movement and use, and gather broad demographic information. We also use it to block inappropriate users of our services, particularly comments and membership accounts.

What partners or service providers have access to Personally Identifiable Information from Visitors and/or Authorized Customers on the Site?

RTITI has entered into and will continue to enter into partnerships and other affiliations with a number of vendors who can provide services that are far more secure and efficient than what we could do on our own. Such vendors may have access to certain Personally Identifiable Information on a need-to-know basis, such as evaluating Authorized Customers for service eligibility. Our privacy policy does not cover their collection or use of this information.

Such videotaping can, in many cases, escalate or reward misbehavior. If a child starts misbehaving while a parent is videotaping, we encourage the parent to turn off their camera and tend to their child in a loving, respectful, skillful manner. Furthermore, RTITI and its licensed representatives shall only use existing videos of misbehaving children for parent education purposes and shall only request parents videotape their child’s behavior for private distance-coaching purposes, so we can observe both the parent and child’s behavior before, during and after a recurring problem for which they are seeking support.
