Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information darrentessitore.com collects, how it is used and the choices you have. “We,” “us” and “our” mean Darren Tessitore, keynote speaker and educator based in Clearwater, Florida.

Information you give us

When you fill out the booking form, we collect what you enter: your name, email address, organization, phone number, event date, event location, audience type and size, and any details you share about your event.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we use tools that collect basic information about your visit, such as the pages you view, how long you stay, your browser and device type, the site that referred you and your approximate location (city or region). This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies by:

• Google Analytics (through Google Site Kit), which helps us understand how visitors use the site
• Jetpack Stats by Automattic, which provides basic visit counts
• Our hosting and security providers, WP Engine and Cloudflare, which process IP addresses to deliver and protect the site

How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiry and check Darren’s availability
• To plan your event, prepare proposals and handle scheduling, travel and logistics
• To follow up about your event and, occasionally, share speaking-related updates. You can opt out at any time
• To understand how the site is used and improve it
• To keep the site secure and prevent spam or abuse

Our CRM

We manage inquiries and client relationships in HighLevel (GoHighLevel), a customer relationship management platform. Information you submit through the booking form may be stored in HighLevel so we can track your inquiry, schedule calls and follow up by email, phone or text. If you receive email or text messages from us, you can unsubscribe using the link in any email or by replying STOP to any text.

How we share information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site and our business, such as WordPress and Jetpack (Automattic), WP Engine, Cloudflare, Google and HighLevel, and only as needed for them to provide their services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights or the safety of others.

Cookies and your choices

You can set your browser to block or delete cookies. The site will still work, though some features may not. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

How long we keep information

We keep inquiry and client information for as long as needed to respond to you, work with you and maintain normal business records. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to stop contacting you. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local privacy laws. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Children

This site is intended for adults who plan events and training. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Links to other websites

This site links to other websites, such as drugeducators.org, partner organizations and social media profiles. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
