If you have any questions or concerns about this policy or about your rights regarding your information, we encourage you to contact us as provided below.

As used throughout this policy, we will refer to TPGLOBALBUSINESSCONSULTING LLC as either “TPGBCLLC,” “we” or “us,” and we will refer to our website, www.tpglobalbusinessconsulting.com. Also, we will refer to any services offered through our Websites, emails, or TPGBCLLC trainings collectively as the “Services.” Last, we will refer to the following types of information collectively as “Marketing” information: our blog posts, thought leadership articles, webinars, public training events, opportunities to participate in our research, customized information based on your experiences and interactions with our Websites and emails, and additional product information.

Information We Collect and How We Use It

We may collect and store information from you, including information that directly or indirectly identifies you, in connection with your use of our Services, including any information you transmit to or through the Services (“Personal Data”). For the purposes of our Services, Personal Data also includes personal data, as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation, personal information, as defined by the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, and personal information, as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act.  We use Personal Data we collect to provide the Service’s functionality, fulfill your requests, improve the Service’s quality, engage in research and analysis relating to the Service, personalize your experience, track usage of the Service, provide feedback to third-party businesses that are listed on the Service, display relevant advertising, market the Service, provide customer support, message you, back up our systems, allow for disaster recovery, enhance the security of the Service, and comply with legal obligations.

Please also note:

a.    Account Information

If you create a TPGBCLLC account, we store and use the information you provide during the registration process and use of our CRM/LMS applications, such as your full name, email address, zip code, physical address, job title, place of work, and other information you may provide, to assist in purchasing products and/or facilitating our Services, including our CRM/LMS applications and training programs. Specifically, if you have access to the "Prework" application in the TPGBCLLC Portal, we may use the Personal Data that you input into the application to logistically prepare our team to deliver the corresponding TPGBCLLC training program. Information that you give us via your TPGBCLLC account is processed on a third-party server in the United States.

b.    Communications

When you use certain TPGBCLLC Services, you have the choice to explicitly opt-in to receive marketing communications from TPGBCLLC. You can manage some of your messaging preferences through your account settings. We may track your actions in response to the messages you receive from us or through the Service, such as whether you deleted, opened or forwarded such messages. We may also store information that you provide through communications to us, including from phone calls, letters, emails and other electronic messages, or in person in order to better assist you with our Services. The information we gather from your engagement with our marketing communications is used to analyze and improve future marketing efforts. Data that we gather on you via our communications is processed on our third-party inbound marketing and customer relationship management cloud software(s).

c.     Transactions

If you initiate a transaction through our Websites, such as a material order or payment for a TPGBCLLC training program, we may collect and store information about you, such as your name, phone number, address, email, and payment information (such as a credit card number and expiration date), as well as any other information you provide to us, in order to process your transaction, send communications about them to you, and populate forms for future transactions. This information may be shared with our third-party payment processers, and third parties may share such information with us, for the same purposes. When you submit credit card numbers, we encrypt that information using industry standard technology.

d.    Activity

We may store information about your use of our Websites or Services, such as your search activity, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. We also may store information that your computer or mobile device may provide to us in connection with your use of the Service, such as your browser type, type of computer or mobile device, browser language, IP address, and requested and referring URLs. Information we gather from your engagement with our Websites or Services is used to analyze and improve our offerings. Data that we gather on you via our Websites or Services is processed on our third-party inbound marketing and customer relationship management cloud software(s).

e.    Research Surveys

If you participate in any of the TPGBCLLC research surveys, usually by invitation, we may collect unique identifiers such as first name, last name, email address, age, organization of employment, IP address, and other location data. Some pieces of Personal Data aid in helping our survey tool to function (IP Address), while other pieces of Personal Data (first name, last name, email address) are used to communicate to you about the status of a particular research study. Also, some pieces of Personal Data might be inherent to the topic of the given survey (age, organization of employment). All Personal Data collected via our research studies is stored in our third-party survey tool and can be deleted at any time. Before analysis, TPGBCLLC anonymizes the data set so that no Personal Data is stored on TPGBCLLC systems or servers. Analysis is only performed on the anonymized, aggregated data set. 

f.      Training Programs

If you attend any of TPGBCLLC’ in-person training programs, TPGBCLLC personnel may take notes about the execution of the program. These notes may contain anecdotes about participants concerning their preferences on the logistical facets of the program (food, location, learning atmosphere, etc.). These anecdotal notes are made about the training class, in general, and not about specific individuals. Notes about our training programs are only used to advance the quality of future programs, are stored on our third-party customer relationship management software, and are only accessed by TPGBCLLC’ training and logistics personnel.

g.    Digital Badging

If you attend a TPGBCLLC training program, it is very likely that you will have the option to receive a digital certification badge at the completion of the program. TPGBCLLC uses a third-party vendor to distribute our digital badges. TPGBCLLC or a TPGBCLLC Partner will always get the explicit consent of any participant before transferring their personal data (first name, last name, email address, program completion details) to our third-party vendor for distribution of the digital badge.

If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

TPGBCLLC is responsible for the processing of Personal Data it receives under the Privacy Shield Framework and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. TPGBCLLC complies with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of Personal Data from the EU, including liability for the onward transfer of Personal Data.

Although TPGBCLLC is still a member of the Privacy Shield Framework and abides by its principles, we no longer rely on it as the mechanism to transfer data from the European Union to the United States. Instead, TPGBCLLC relies on a variety of other mechanisms, including the EU-approved Standard Contractual Clauses and the article 49 derogations of the GDPR.

After verifying the identity of the agent, TPGBCLLC will process the data user request.
