Services Offered
As of the most recent revision date, the services offered by Strive 4 Optimal (aka Strive for Optimal), through this website, are as follows: webinars, classes, online or in person health and wellness coaching (1 on 1 and/or group coaching)

Online programs, ebooks, guided courses, and other information products the Company makes available for purchase a variety of information products related to wellness, mindset coaching, relationships, finances, and other issues. These products are self-directed on the part of the customer. Like any journey, that of self-discovery is not without risk, and travelers are urged to take safety measures. If in the course of engaging in introspection or other activities under the guidance of the product, the customer begins to experience raw or otherwise difficult or confusing emotions, that individual is encouraged to seek licensed therapy and/or a licensed medical professional, as soon as possible, particularly if such therapy has not already been in process.

Interpret lab results – per NC law, we can provide the client with general information and education about lab testing, but do not discuss anything which could be construed as diagnosing, treating, or curing a disease, or medical nutrition therapy. Our best practice here is to simply educate the client about laboratory testing, but insist that they speak to their doctor who can order those tests for them, or seek out those which they may order on their own absent a doctor’s order.

Use by Children 

We are committed to protecting the safety and privacy of children who visit our Website. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 and have adopted techniques to ensure compliance with this Privacy Policy and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”). COPPA and its accompanying regulations under United States federal law protect the privacy of children using the Internet. Our Website includes content that may be unsuitable or confusing for children under 13 who are not monitored in the receipt and processing of such content by an adult. We encourage all parents to talk to their children about online safety and to monitor their children’s use of the Internet.

Visitors From Outside of the United States

Our website and the servers that make this website available worldwide are located in the United States. The Internet laws in the United States govern all matters relating to this website. Any information you provide in subscribing to our website or registering or ordering at our website will be transferred to the United States. By visiting our website and submitting information, you authorize this transfer, processing and use.

General Data Protection Regulation

If you are in the European Union (EU), you have specific rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you choose to provide us with information, you may ask us at any time to delete the information, with which we will comply in a reasonably timely manner if we have not independently chosen to delete the same information prior to your request. In either case, you will be advised accordingly. You may request a copy of any computer file compiling your information, to the extent we have collected it, and such file will be provided to you in a commercially reasonable period, if it has not been previously deleted, as noted above. You may ask us not to process your data, or to share it with any entities that would do so. Please note, however, that there is no known sharing of any data by our company with third parties, and outside of the unlikely possibility of subpoena, other court order, or legally compliant government investigation, no desire to do so. If you have consented to the processing of your personal data, you may withdraw that consent at any time—though please note that processing that had occurred prior to such withdrawal would remain legal in retrospect. The information that is asked from you is intended only to fulfill the requirements to form a contract, and no additional information gathering or processing will be required than must be for that purpose. If you believe that our company has failed to adhere to your rights under the GDPR, you are entitled to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.

Our company does not, to the extent that the term can be reasonably understood, engage in large-scale data collection or processing, and so does not have an appointed specialist Data Protection Officer or employ any representative physically located in the EU and designated as the point of contact for the EU government on these matters.

Email Database: We collect as little information as needed to provide our customers with the best possible experience. In general, we collect your first name and email address.

Security

We incorporate standard industry practices internally and with our service providers, which we believe suits the degree of sensitivity of the information involved to maintain the security of your personal information and to avoid its disclosure except as described in this privacy policy.

Although we have implemented systems and procedures to secure the data maintained by us, security during Internet transmissions can never be assured. Our policy is to limit access to personal data to those employees or agents with a specific need to access or retrieve this information. We store data on multiple service systems, in controlled environments. To maintain security, we conduct internal reviews of our security measures on a regular basis.
