How I use collected information

Robert Peake may collect and use Users personal information for the following purposes:

  • – To improve user experience

Information you provide helps me make content more relevant and effective.

  • – To improve my Site

I may use feedback you provide to improve my content.

  • – To send periodic emails

I may use the email address to send User information and updates as requested. It may also be used to respond to their inquiries, questions, and/or other requests. If User decides to opt-in to my mailing list, they will receive emails that may include news, updates, information about forthcoming books, poetry readings, etc. If at any time the User would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, I include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of every email.

Workplace Attitudes Survey

Users may elect to take the Workplace Attitudes Survey (“Survey”). The survey is anonymous. No personally-identifiable information is collected from this Survey. Information collected from this survey is used to improve the quality of the Survey results. This can include analysing and displaying the results in aggregate.

In the case of Surveys issued on behalf of a company, team, or other group, the results are tied to an identifier that will allow me to report on the findings for that group and share these with members of the organisation as appropriate. As no personally-identifiable information is gathered, the results cannot and will not be associated with individual Users taking the Survey.

By using the Survey, Users understand that the results of the survey are based on a combination of my own consulting experience, theories of positive psychology, and statistical analysis of past responses. Users further agree and understand that the Survey is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any physical or mental condition, and does not constitute legal or psychological advice.

I may share your information with these third parties for those limited purposes provided that you have given us your permission.

Security

I are committed to ensuring that your Personal Information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, I have put in place appropriate physical, technical and procedural measures to safeguard and secure the Personal Information I collect online.
