DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below:
Other companies who provide services to us.
Service providers who provide IT and system administration services.
Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers.
Government bodies that require us to report processing activities.
Third parties to whom we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets.
We require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer the same levels of protection to your personal data, so European law has prohibited transfers of personal data outside of the EEA unless the transfer meets certain criteria. Many of our third-party service providers are based outside the EEA, so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we do our best to ensure a similar degree of security of data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is in place:
We will only transfer your personal data to countries that the European Commission have approved as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data; or
Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or
If we use US-based providers that are part of EU-US Privacy Shield, we may transfer data to them, as they have equivalent safeguards in place.
If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your express consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
DATA SECURITY
We have put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed without authorization. We also allow access to your personal data only to those employees and partners who have a business need to know such data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they must keep it confidential.
We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where legally required.
DATA RETENTION
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the legitimate purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
When deciding the permissible duration for maintaining data, we look at its amount, nature, sensitivity, potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, processing purposes, whether the processing purposes can be achieved by other means, and legal requirements.
For tax purposes, the law requires us to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial, and Transaction Data) for six (6) years after they stop being customers.
In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data for research or statistical purposes, in which cases we may use this information indefinitely, without further notice to you.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Under data protection laws, you have rights in relation to your personal data that include the rights to request access, correction, erasure, restriction, transfer; the right to object to processing; the right to portability of data; and (where the lawful ground of processing is consent) the right to withdraw consent.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive or we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one (1) month of receiving them. Occasionally it may take us longer than one (1) month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you.
THIRD-PARTY LINKS
Our Services may from time to time include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements.

Who We Share Your Data With
Personal sharing from participants during Zoom sessions is never recorded or shared. Program participants will not have access to other participants’ full names, emails, or physical addresses.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on or through our Services (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Personal sharing from participants is never recorded or shared. High Noon International maintains the right to record certain educational portions of sessions for educational and training purposes.
Where We Send Your Data
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personal information. This does not include trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or otherwise providing our Services, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also disclose personal information when we believe doing so is necessary to comply with the law, enforce our Terms and Conditions and/or Privacy Policy, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, safety, or security.
How We Protect Your Information
We implement a variety of reasonable security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information.
For example, we use a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via secure technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider’s database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential.
Please be aware, however, that no data security measures can be guaranteed to be completely effective. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you provide to us. You transmit information to us at your own risk, and you are responsible for all personal information you submit to us.
