Privacy Notice for Visitors to Our Site

This Privacy Notice explains how we at Peace Pursuit™, process information about the visitors of our users’ websites in connection with the services we provide through our site and the Peace Pursuit learning portal.

Who Are We and What Does This Privacy Notice Cover?

To keep things simple, in this Privacy Notice we’ll refer to the users of the services we provide through these services as our “Users.”

We put together this Privacy Notice to help our Users understand the information we collect about our visitors and how that happens on our site.

We also automatically collect some information about visitors to our Site. We’ve listed examples below:

• Technical Data from a Visitor’s Computer and Etcetera: We collect the information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available about visitors to our Site, such as the IP address, browser type, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information.

We require our subsidiaries, employees, and independent contractors to follow this Privacy Notice for information about visitors that we share with them.

How Long We Keep Visitor Information

If we are not legally required to keep it, we generally discard information about Site visitors when no longer needed for the purposes for which we collect and use it on behalf of our users — those purposes which are described in the “How We Use Visitor Information” section above.

For example, we keep the web server logs that record information about a visitor to our Site — such as the visitor’s IP address, browser type, and operating system — for at least 30 days. We retain the logs for this period of time in order to, among other things, investigate issues if something goes wrong on our Site.
