This Privacy Policy describes how MyPitch.org (MyPitch.org, “we”, or “us”) collects, uses and shares information about you obtained through its websites, apps, courses, products and services (“Services”), as well as any online service that posts a link to this Privacy Policy (together, the “Services”, and each individually, a “Service”). It describes how we may collect, use, and disclose such information that we obtain through the Service; the choices you have regarding our use of your information; how we safeguard the information we collect; and how to contact us regarding our privacy practices. By accessing or otherwise using the Service, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure practices and other activities as described in this Privacy Policy.
If you are visiting the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that we are based in the United States and U.S. law governs the information we collect. The data protection laws and regulations applicable to your personal data transferred to the United States may be different from the laws in your country of residence. Your use of the Service or provision of any information constitutes your consent to the transfer to and from, processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information, including personal information, in the United States as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
We collect certain information about you that you provide to us directly through the Services. For example, we collect information when you communicate with us via e-mail, contact us using a contact form through one of our Services, join as a member, register for an account on one of our Services, purchase a subscription, subscribe to notifications or newsletters, post a comment publicly on one of our Services, make a purchase, participate in surveys, register for webinars or events, apply for a job or internship, submit an MyPitch.org APPROVED application, or send a request for information.
Personal information you submit through one of the Services may include:
Some forms on the Services may require that you submit additional or different details about yourself or your business. You may choose not to provide personal information in those cases; however, this may prevent you from being able to use those features. You may choose to voluntarily submit certain other information to us through the Services, including personal information, but you are solely responsible for your own personal information in instances where we have not collected such information or requested that you submit such information to us.
We and our service providers may also automatically collect certain information about you when you access or use one of the Services (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include your IP address, device identifier, browser type, operating system characteristics, information about your use of the Service, geographic location, and data regarding network-connected hardware (e.g., computer or mobile device). Usage Information helps us learn about a user’s visits to our Services by visualizing the number and duration of visits, pages viewed, site navigation, and other statistics. We use this knowledge to enhance and customize user experience and to monitor and improve performance of the Services. We may use IP addresses to help diagnose problems and for general statistical website reporting.
The methods that may be used to collect Usage Information on the Services include:
Some information about your use of the Services and certain third-party services may be collected using Tracking Technologies across time and services, and used by us and third parties for purposes such as to associate different devices you use, and deliver relevant ads and/or other content to you on the Services and certain third-party services.
By continuing to use the Services, you are agreeing to the placement of Tracking Technologies by us or by our partners for purposes of analyzing your use of the Services.
Regular cookies may be disabled or removed using tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances may be blocked in the future by configuring certain browser settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options so you may need to set them separately. Also, tools from commercial browsers may not be effective with regard to Flash cookies (also known as locally shared objects), HTML5 cookies, or other Tracking Technologies. Please be aware that if you disable or remove these technologies, some aspects of the Services functionality may be limited.
We may use the personal information we collect to place advertisements on the Services and/or Third-Party Services. Some of these ads may be tailored to your interest based on your browsing of the Services and elsewhere on the Internet (sometimes referred to as “interest-based advertising” and “online behavioral advertising”), which may include sending you an ad on a Third-Party Service after you have left the Services (i.e., “re-targeting”).
We also may use Google Analytics for analytics services and employ Google Display feature “Google Analytics Demographic and Interest Reporting.” We use these services as well as others that may use cookies and other Tracking Technologies to help us analyze Service users and how they interact with the Services. Information collected or generated by these services (e.g., your IP address and other Usage Information) may be transmitted to and stored by these service providers, who may in turn use this information for purposes such as evaluating your use of the Services, compiling statistical reports on the Services’ activity, and providing other services relating to Service activity and other Internet usage. You may opt out of Google Analytics via your Ads Settings, Ads Settings for mobile apps, or via the opt-out site.
Please be aware that even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of targeted advertising, you will continue to receive non-targeted ads. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third parties or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.
Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share for marketing purposes the Personal Information that we collect through the Services with third parties.
In general, we use your Personal Information to:
Your Personal Information and Usage Information may be disclosed to our third-party service providers, including agents, vendors, and marketers. For example, we may use Usage Information to determine how to optimize customer service. Third-party service providers are not permitted to use personal information except as far as necessary to provide the relevant services to us, although we may permit them to use aggregate information for other purposes.
We may disclose your personal information and Usage Information if we believe, in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is necessary and/or appropriate in the following circumstances:
In the event of any proposed or actual transaction, such as a reorganization, partnership, or joint venture, we reserve the right to disclose any information we obtain through the Services. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and are permitted by and subject to this Privacy Policy.
We display personal testimonials and reviews on our Services in addition to other endorsements. We may post your testimonial/review along with your name. If you wish to update or delete your testimonial, you may contact us at support(at)MyPitch.org
The Services may contain links to Third-Party Services; these links are provided for your convenience and information. If you choose to use any of these links, you will be leaving the Services. These Third-Party Services may use their own cookies, web beacons and other Tracking Technology to independently collect information about you and may solicit personal information from you. The privacy practices of these Third-Party Services may differ from our privacy practices and are not controlled by us, nor are they covered by this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for any third party’s data collection, cookies, or privacy practices, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies or notices posted on those Third-Party Services before submitting your information.
The Services may permit you to post or submit content publicly such as if you comment on a blog post. If you choose to submit content containing personal information to any public area of the Services, your content will be accessible by anyone, including us. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless otherwise explicitly agreed by us, personal information publicly available is not subject to our usage or sharing limitations, or other obligations, under this Privacy Policy or otherwise, and may be used and shared by us and third parties to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law. We encourage you to exercise caution when making decisions about what you disclose in such public areas.
Certain functionalities on the Services permit interactions that you initiate between the Services and Third-Party Services, such as social networks (“Social Features”). Examples of Social Features include features enabling you to send content such as contacts, photos, and videos between one of the Services and a Third-Party Service; “liking” or “sharing” our content; and features that otherwise connect the Services to a Third-Party Service (e.g., to pull or push information to or from the Service). If you use Social Features, and potentially other Third-Party Services, information you post or provide access to may be publicly displayed on the Services, or by the Third-Party Service you use. Similarly, if you post information on a Third-Party Service that references the Services (e.g., by using a hash tag associated with MyPitch or its affiliates in a tweet or status update), your post may be used on or in connection with the Services. Also, both MyPitch and the third party may have access to certain information about you and your use of the Services and the Third-Party Service.
You may also choose to create an account by providing us with certain details, along with a username and password for the website, app, course, or products. For each of these Services, you may access and review or update your personal profile information within your account.
Should you receive a promotional email from us, you may opt out of receiving additional promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of our emails. You may also contact us directly at support(at)MyPitch.org to unsubscribe from a single subscription or from all subscriptions with us. Please note that even if you opt out of receiving promotional emails from us, we may continue to send you non-promotional emails, such as those relating to your account, product inquiries or event registration.

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For credit card information, we redirect visitors to our Third-party processing partner with secure servers that encrypt this information. Nevertheless, transmission via the Internet and online digital storage is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your information collected through the Services and our Third-party processing partners.
The Services are not intended for, nor targeted to, children under the age of 13 (Thirteen), and we do not knowingly or intentionally collect information from children under the age of 13 (Thirteen). If we learn that we have received information directly from a child who is under the age of 13 (Thirteen), we will delete the information in accordance with applicable law.
This Privacy Policy is subject to change at our discretion. We will indicate changes to this page by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of the page.
