This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online. PII is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify and contact, or to locate a single person and identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.
What personal information do we collect from the people that visit our blog, website or app?
When interacting or registering on our site you may be asked to enter your name, email address, phone number, mailing address or other details to help you with your experience.
When do we collect information?
We collect information from you when you fill out a form, request an appointment using our on-line tool or enter information on our site.
How do we use your information?
We may use the information we collect from you in the following ways:

• To send periodic emails regarding products and services.

Information protection
We do not rent or sell personally identifying information to anyone. We will only disclose this information for legal reasons if required by law.
Marketing & Communication
As we like to keep our customers up to date with relevant news, we use a third party company to send emails to our customers. We will always ask you first before sending you any marketing emails, as well as wait for you to confirm before we do so. We may still send you important administrative messages, such as accounting emails and essential security emails.
We may also use your email address to locate you on social media platforms or other online channels in order to deliver communication, which we believe might be of interest to you. Please let us know if you would rather us not use your email address in this way.
Information Security
We seek to use reasonable organisational, technical and administrative measures designed to protect personal information within our organisation. Unfortunately, no online data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.
Third-party services
We are not responsible for the collection of information, use of, disclosure and security policies, or practices of other organisations, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Apple, Microsoft, Google, or any other developer, social media platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider or device manufacturer, including any information you disclose to other organisations through or in connection with our Social Media Pages.
Other Websites
This privacy policy only covers our website. Any other websites linked to on our site may be subject to their own privacy policy, may differ from ours and so therefore, we are not responsible for the content provided on any third party websites.
COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
We collect your email address in order to:
• Send information, respond to enquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
• Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original communication has occurred.
To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:
• Not use false subjects or email addresses.
• Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
• Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
• Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
• Honour opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
• Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.
If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us at contact@chris.geerassociates.com or follow the instructions at the bottom of each marketing email.
Access, Change or Delete Your Personal Information
We use both local and third party databases to store your preferential information and contact details. If you would like to request to review, correct, update or delete information that you have previously provided us, please contact us via channels noted below.
In your request, please make it clear what information you would like to change, whether you would like to have your information deleted from our database, if there are any limitations you would like to add to our use of your information, or simply any changes to your preferences. For your protection, we may need you to verify your identity before implementing your request. We will always try to comply with your request as soon as possible.
Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting a change or deletion. There may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed unless asked to do so.
