Depending on the visitor’s activity at our website, certain “personally identifiable information” may be collected, in addition to information set forth in other sections of this Privacy Policy.

  • A first and last name;
  • A home or other physical address, including street name and name of a city or town;

  • A telephone number;
  • Any other identifier that permits the physical or online contacting of a specific individual; and

Email and Spam Policy

We are committed to keeping your e-mail address confidential.

We will use your email address solely to provide timely information about DSI, the Gifted Outlier Coach, and its programs and services. DSI will maintain the information you send via email in accordance with applicable international law.

In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, GDPR, and CASL all email sent from our organization will clearly state who the email is from and provide clear information on how to contact the sender. In addition, all email messages sent to our mailing list will contain concise information on how to remove yourself from that mailing list so that you receive no further email communication from us.

Client Information

In order to maintain a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) certification through the International Coach Federation and, in future, apply for a Master Certified Coach (MCC) certification, Deborah Huisken is required to maintain a log comprising first and last name, start and end date of coaching engagement, number of hours, contact information (email address and/or phone number). In addition, for administration and marketing purposes, DSI may also retain information on the type of coaching provided, geographical location of client, satisfaction level, source of initial contact with client, and rate charged.

The ICF has its own Privacy Policy, https://coachfederation.org/policies.

Associate Policies
Associates with whom this website is linked, including vendor sites, are responsible for their own privacy statements. Online merchants and others who collaborate with DSI are encouraged to participate in industry privacy initiatives, and to take a responsible attitude towards consumer privacy. However, since we do not have direct control over the policies or practices of participating merchants and other third parties, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of those sites. We recommend and encourage you to always review the privacy policies of merchants and other third parties before you provide any information or complete any transaction with such parties.

Information We Collect and How We Use It
DSI may collect certain information from and about its users in multiple ways: via web server logs, cookies, and personal user information, including information publically and/or voluntarily shared in forums and on on-line sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn.

When you visit our website, we may track information to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we track may include:

  • Your internet protocol address

  1. Cookies
    DSI may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information, as well as providing personalized functionality.

DSI reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into dancingstar.com a site that relies on third-party cookies).

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings, then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our website.

Personal Information of Users

Visitors to our website may be permitted to sign up to our mailing list and/or to purchase items. In either case, we will request some personal information such as name, address, email address, telephone number(s), account number and/or other relevant information. If you are purchasing an item, we may request financial information. Any financial information we collect is used solely to bill you for the item you purchased. If you purchase by credit card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting. We will also collect such additional personal information as you choose to share with us, such as photos or other content you may post, including, as you may elect to post, social media handles, links to Facebook groups or Google Groups, and other social platforms (“Posted Content”). You may not post (i) your own or third party email addresses, telephone numbers, physical addresses; or (ii) personal information of third parties.

  • To respond to legal process or comply with law, including subpoenas;
  • To entities under common ownership or control with us or to our owners; or
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition or liquidation of the company.

How do I withdraw my consent?
If after you opt-in or after having not initially taken an opportunity to opt-out, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting Deborah@DancingStar.com, or Deborah@GiftedOutlierCoach.com.

Use of Web Beacons or GIF Files
The DSI web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow DSI to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. DSI may include web beacons in promotional email messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

Some of these web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails, and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. DSI prohibits web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.

Accessing Web Account Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally identifiable information in your web account file is correct and current. You may review this information by contacting us via email to Deborah@DancingStar.com, or Deborah@GiftedOutlierCoach.com.

Do Not Track
We have not implemented any technology that would effectively recognize do-not-track signals and note that some content available on our website is made available through relationships with third party providers who we do not control, and who may have collect and/or disclose personally identifiable information.

How to Correct, Update, or Delete Your Information
If you would like to: access, correct, amend or delete any personally identifiable information we store about you, register a complaint, or simply want more information, contact us at Deborah@DancingStar.com, or Deborah@GiftedOutlierCoach.com.

How We Protect Information
We use commercially reasonable procedures to protect the personal information that we collect from you against loss, theft and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. We have developed and implemented and continue to maintain and monitor a written information security program applicable to all records containing personal information. This security program is appropriate to the size, scope and type of our business, the resources available to us, the amount of stored data, and the need for security and confidentiality of the personal information we store. No security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases or the security during transmission to us of the information you supply over the internet. You can help us by taking precautions to protect your personal information when you are on the internet, and only disclose information that you want made public. Change your passwords often using a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure to use a secure web browser.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, personal information may be transferred to, processed, stored and accessed by us, our affiliates and third parties in the United States, and in other jurisdictions where we or they operate. Courts and other authorities in these jurisdictions may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to access your personal information. By using this website, you consent to this transfer, processing, storage and access of your personal information in and/or outside of the jurisdiction in which you reside.

Aggregate Data
We may share and publicize aggregate and/or de-identified information shared with third parties and the public.

Children Under 18
We do not specifically market to or knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 for marketing purposes. Because some information is collected online, it may not appear to be the personal information of a child under 18. If a child under 18 submits personal information to us, and we learn that the personal information is the information of a child under 18, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible. If you are under 18, please do not register for any of our services or provide us any information about yourself (such as your name, email address or phone number).

Changes to this Privacy Policy
DSI has the discretion to occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will also revise the updated date at the top of this Privacy Policy page. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of this service constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates.
