Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy governs the United States website operated by The Human Fulfillment Institute (collectively, "we", "us", “our Website,” “HFI” or “Renewal Space,”) and explains how we collect your personal information on our Website, how we protect your information, and the choices you have concerning the use of such information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Your privacy, the security of any personal information you share through your participation in the activities on our site, and your right to freedom from intrusive marketing are of utmost important to all of us at the Human Fulfillment Institute. We do not have third-party advertising on our site, nor do we ever sell your Personally Identifying Information for any reason whatsoever, nor do we ever share such information unless we are required to do so by law, or in order to maintain basic website functionality, as outlined below. Every feasible effort is taken to protect the privacy of your information and your interactions with the Human Fulfillment Institute website.
It is possible that we may need to amend the specific language of this Privacy Policy from time to time to meet unforeseen technical or legal requirements. However, we will make every reasonably available effort to retain its major provisions, and will post any changes to this Privacy Policy here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether a need arises for any reason whatsoever to disclose that information to anyone. Please refer back to this Privacy Policy on a regular basis. By using our Website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
What Information About Me is Collected on Our Website?
We collect two types of information: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally identifiable information is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you ("Personally Identifiable Information"). Such Personally Identifiable Information may include your name, address, email address, telephone number, invoice history for services and products and billing and credit card information. We may request Personally Identifiable Information from you when you order materials or enroll in services offered through our Website. In these cases, we will collect Personally Identifiable Information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. Again, we do not sell, share, license, trade or rent your personally identifiable information. You do not have to provide us with any Personally Identifiable Information to visit our Website. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, you may not be able to visit all sections of our Website, order our products or enroll in our services.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
When you become a registered user of our Website, subscribe to one of our current Online Products, or in connection with other Online Products we may make available on our Website from time to time, we also may collect information that by itself cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information (like age, profession or gender) ("Non-Personally Identifiable Information"). Non-Personally Identifiable Information may also include user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Website. Non-Personally Identifiable Information is used to help us understand who uses our Website and to improve and market our Website in general and our Online Products in particular.
Becoming a Registered User and/or Subscribing Member
In order to access certain products such as Interactive Awareness courses on Renewal Space, or enroll in services such as teleseminars, webinars, live events, coaching and consulting, you must first complete certain steps. During these steps, you may be required to provide us with information (including Personally Identifiable Information) such as name, zip code and email address, and, if you purchase one of our products or services, credit card and billing information. This information is used by us for subscription and/or billing purposes. We may at times ask for other optional evaluation and demographic information such as gender, age and educational level, but providing this information is not required. It may, however, enable us to provide a more personalized experience on our Website, as well as through our products and services.
Log Files
We also collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information through our Internet log files, which record data such as user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Website. This information may be used to analyze trends, to administer the Website, to monitor our Website's use, and to gather general demographic information.
Does Our Website Collect Information from Children Under 13 Years of Age?
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. Our Website is not designed for or directed to children under the age of 13. We do not collect Personally Identifiable Information from any person we actually know is under the age of 13. We urge all parents or guardians to participate in their children's exploration of the Internet, and to teach their children about protecting their personal information while online.

In addition, if you identify yourself to us by sending us an email with questions or comments, we may use your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) to respond to your questions or comments, and we may file your questions or comments for future reference. We may also use the information collected to send you essential service announcements regarding the Human Fulfillment Institute and its Website. You will not be able to unsubscribe from these service announcements and updates, as they contain only information that is essential for your use of our Website and/or participation in Institute programs.
Legal Protections
We may also disclose your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) if we are legally required to do so in order to comply with an applicable statute, regulation, rule or law, a subpoena, a search warrant, a court or regulatory order, or other valid legal process, or in special circumstances when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to protect the safety and/or security of our users, our Website or the general public.
Third Parties

For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of participants who visit our site or who are currently involved in our programs.
Outside Contractors
We may employ independent contractors, vendors and suppliers (collectively, "Outside Contractors") to provide specific services and products related to our Website, such as hosting and maintaining our site, providing credit card processing and fraud screening, and developing applications for our Website and e-mail services. These Outside Contractors may sometimes have carefully limited access to information collected on our Website, including your Personally Identifiable Information, in the course of providing products or services to us. Access to your Personally Identifiable Information by these contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary in order for the Outside Contractors to perform their limited function for us. We also require that these contractors (I) protect the privacy of your Personally Identifiable Information consistent with this Privacy Policy, and (ii) not use or disclose your Personally Identifiable Information for any purpose other than providing us with products or services for which we contracted.

Is the Information Collected on Our Website Secure?
We strive to make your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) to remain as secure as possible, and to provide secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers through industry-standard techniques. To help ensure the integrity and privacy of the Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us via the Internet at the time you elect to become a registered user or subscribe to our Online Products, we use Secured Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology in transmitting such Personally Identifiable Information over the Internet to our servers. Moreover, we secure the Personally Identifiable Information you provide on a dedicated server or servers located in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or alteration. Only employees who need access to your information to perform a specific task or function are granted access to such information. Notwithstanding the above commitments to protect your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) from loss, misuse or alteration by third parties, you should be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting information over the Internet. There is also some level of risk that others could find a way to thwart our security systems. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security and privacy of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
What Choices Do I Have Regarding the Collection, Disclosure and Distribution of Personally Identifiable Information?
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will only use Personally Identifiable Information for the purposes described above or as otherwise disclosed at the time we request such information from you.

You can always contact us in order to (1) update or correct your Personally Identifiable Information, or (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us.

You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your Personally Identifiable Information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. We promise that promptly after receiving your request, all Personally Identifiable Information stored in databases we actively use and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as reasonably practicable.
