Focus Now Training, doing business as Men Talking Mindfulness (“MTM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) produces the Men Talking Mindfulness podcast and runs this website. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect information from visitors to mentalkingmindfulness.com and from people who contact us, subscribe or support the show. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect only what we need to run the show, answer you and keep in touch:
- What you send us. When you use our contact, guest, partnership or newsletter forms, we collect what you enter, such as your name, email address, phone number, company, website, budget range and message.
- Guest applications. If you apply to be a guest, we collect your application answers on this site, such as your background, topic, audience size and links.
- Spam protection. Our contact forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to confirm a real person is sending them. Cloudflare may process technical details such as your IP address and browser information for that check.
- Support payments. Support tiers are paid through PayPal. We receive your name, email address and the tier you chose. We never see or store your card or bank details.
- Usage data. Like most websites, we collect basic information about visits, such as pages viewed, device and browser type, approximate location and the site that referred you.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to you and handle guest, speaking, partnership and sponsorship requests.
- Review guest applications, including an automatic fit score that helps our team decide which ones to follow up on.
- Schedule and coordinate guest recordings, speaking calls and follow-up conversations.
- Send the newsletter and episode updates you asked for. You may opt out at any time.
- Deliver support tier perks, such as on-air shout-outs and show-notes listings.
- Process support payments through PayPal.
- Improve the show and the site by understanding how our pages and episodes are used.
- Comply with legal obligations and applicable regulatory and contractual requirements.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We respect your privacy and limit how information is shared:
- With service providers. We work with trusted third parties to run the show and the site: GoHighLevel (LeadConnector) for website hosting, our contact database and email delivery; Google for Analytics, Tag Manager and web fonts; Cloudflare for form spam protection; Slack for internal alerts about new messages; PayPal for support payments; and Transistor for our podcast player and feed.
- For legal and compliance purposes. Information may be disclosed if required by law, regulation or court order.
- Aggregated data. Non-identifiable, aggregated data may be used for analytics or reporting to improve the show.
We do not sell, rent or share your personal information for anyone else's marketing.
Data Security
We use reputable service providers and HTTPS encryption to protect information sent through the site. While we take reasonable precautions, no system can guarantee absolute security. Please notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your data.
Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to:
- Access and review the personal information we hold about you.
- Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Ask us to delete your information.
- Opt out of marketing emails by clicking “unsubscribe” in any email or by contacting us directly.
Depending on where you live, for example California or the European Union, you may have additional rights under local law. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] or use our contact form. We will never treat you differently for using them.
