Purpose and who we are

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to describe how Coach LLC (“We,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses and shares information about you through our online interfaces (e.g., websites and mobile applications) owned and controlled by us, including Coachfoundation.com (collectively referred to herein as the “Site”). Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do. If you do not understand any aspects of our Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].

Coach LLC is a Limited Liability Company with a principal place of business at Sharjah Media City, Sharjah, UAE. If you reside or are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) Coach LLC is the data controller of all Personal Data (defined as any information relating to an individual, whether it relates to his or her private, professional or public life.

What Information this Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy covers information we collect from you through our Site, communication, and calls.

Inaccurate information may affect your ability to use the Site and our services, the information you receive when using the Site, and our ability to contact you. For example, your email address should be kept current because that is one of the primary manners in which we communicate with you.

Legal Bases for the Processing of Personal Data

Most of our processing is necessary to deliver you our services and materials and perform a contract and the terms of service with you and to fulfil and complete your transactions entered into with us or provide the services. We need to process your personal data to deliver your order.

We use and process your personal data as set out below where it is necessary for us to carry out activities for which it is in our legitimate interests as a business to do so. For example, for user support, promotion of our business, communication with you, administrative and technical issues, invitations, reminders, the prevention of frauds, illegal activity, or any violation.

Other Information We Collect

Social buttons. On many of the pages of Coach LLC sites you will see ‘social buttons’. These enable users to share or bookmark the web pages. There are buttons for: Twitter, Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn. In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of Coach LLC. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on Coach LLC’s site. So if you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering that action and may use that information. In some cases these sites will be registering the fact that you are visiting Coach LLC, and the specific pages you are on, even if you don’t click on the button if you are logged into their services, like Google and Facebook.

You should check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.

External web services. We use a number of external web services on Coach LLC sites mostly to display content within our web pages. For example,to display slideshows we sometimes use SlideShare; to show videos we use YouTube and Vimeo. This is not an exhaustive or complete list of the services we use, or might use in the future, when embedding content, but these are the most common. As with the social buttons we cannot prevent these sites, or external domains, from collecting information on your usage of this embedded content. If you are not logged in to these external services then they will not know who you are but are likely to gather anonymous usage information e.g. number of views, plays, loads etc.

Email tracking. Some emails that we send you have no tracking in at all, for example personal correspondence or emails with invoices attached. Other emails we send we put in tracking so that we can tell how much traffic those emails send to our site and we can track, at an individual level, whether the user has opened and clicked on the email. We rarely use the latter information at a personal level, rather we use it to understand open and click rates on our emails to try and improve them. Sometimes we do use the personal information e.g. to re-email people who didn’t click the first time. If you want to be sure that none of your email activity is tracked then you should unsubscribe from the our newsletter.

Our Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third-parties we partner with may use cookies on the Site, and your choices regarding cookies. Please read the Cookies Policy in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which sets out additional details on how we use personally identifiable information and your various rights.
