Amplified Life Media - Privacy Policy - DRAFT
Amplified Life Network, LLC (“Amplified Life,” “us,” "we," or “our”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy in connection with your use of our media portal (the “Portal”), media assets (“Media”) and other products, services and features thereof. The Portal, Media and such other products, services and features are collectively referred to herein as the “Product” or “Products”, which may be updated from time-to-time at the sole discretion of Amplified Life. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) and any other documents referred to herein set forth the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, in connection with the Products will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data and how we will collect, use and disclose your personal data.
We may collect and process the following data about you:
We use information held about you in the following ways:
The security of your personal data is important to us. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal data submitted to us, both during transmission and once it is received. If you have any questions about the security of your personal data, you can contact us at contactus@amplifemedia.com. Except as described under the “Disclosure of Your Data” section below, we do not provide your personal data to any third party without your specific consent, as defined by applicable law. Amplified Life maintains technical, administrative and physical safeguards to help protect the security of your personal information against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, misuse or disclosure. Your personal information is accessible to only a limited number of personnel who need access to the information to perform their duties. Please note, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
If you sign up to receive promotional materials from us via email and/or push notifications we will use the data you give us to provide the communications you have requested. If you inform us that you wish to cancel email promotional materials by selecting “unsubscribe” at the bottom of such communication or by emailing us at contactus@amplifemedia.com, we will remove you from our mailing list. If you no longer wish to receive push notifications, you may turn them off at the device level. If you provide your phone number to us directly or through a third-party for the specific purpose of receiving an SMS message with a link to our Apps, you will receive such SMS message (the “SMS Service”). Standard text message rates will apply. We will endeavor to comply with these requests as soon as reasonably practicable. Please be advised that you may not be able to opt-out of receiving certain service or transactional email messages from us that are required to provide you with our Products.
Amplified Life and our analytics partners use technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags, and scripts to enable a service to recognize your device so you don't have to provide the same data several times during one task, to recognize that you may have already given a username and password so you don't need to do it for every web page requested, and to measure how people are using the Products.
As true of most websites, we gather certain data and automatically and store it in log files. This data may include Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data.
If you receive the HTML-formatted version of our email newsletter, your opening of the newsletter is notified to us and saved. Your clicks on links in the newsletter are also saved. These and the open statistics are used in aggregate form to give us an indication of the popularity of the content and to help us make decisions about future content and formatting.
All data you provide to us through the Products is stored on our secure servers located in the US. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology; all payment data is stored with our payment processor and is never stored on Amplified Life’s servers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the Products, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone, and suggest that your change your password frequently.
Unfortunately, the transmission of data via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Products; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
Sometimes corporations, governments, hospitals, universities and other organizations and groups (“Partner(s)”) wish to make Amplified Life’s Products available to their members, employees and their families, patients, customers, residents or others. For example, employers may offer their employees and their families access to our Products in an effort to promote wellbeing. When an entity provides access to our Products to others, we call those “Communities.” If you have registered to use the Products through a code, credential, or other means of registration furnished by a Partner (a “Community Subscription”), the Partner may have access to your name, email address, the date you registered to use the Products, and the date on which you last used the Products. The Partner may also have access to your Community's aggregated and anonymized general usage data.
As you may know, a European Union law called the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) gives certain rights to applicable individuals in relation to their personal data. Accordingly, we have implemented transparency and access controls to help such users, including residents of the EU, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom exercise those rights. As required under applicable law, the rights afforded to you are: A right of access: you have the right to obtain (i) confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you are processed or not and, if processed, to obtain (ii) access to such data and a copy thereof. We provide an easy-to-view snapshot of such data via the “My Data” tab in the Products.
A right to rectification: you have the right to obtain the rectification of any inaccurate personal data concerning you. You also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
A right to erasure: in some cases, you have the right to obtain the erasure of personal data concerning you. Upon request, Amplified Life will permanently and irrevocably anonymize your data such that it can never be reconstructed to identify you as an individual. However, this is not an absolute right and Amplified Life may have legal or legitimate grounds for keeping such data.
A right to restriction of processing: in some cases, you have the right to obtain restriction of the processing of your personal data.
A right to data portability: you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to Amplified Life, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from Amplified Life. This right only applies when the processing of your personal data is based on your consent or on a contract and such processing is carried out by automated means.
A right to object to processing: you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you when such processing is based on the legitimate interest of Amplified Life. Amplified Life may, however, invoke compelling legitimate grounds for continued processing. When your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of such data. You may, in particular, exercise that right by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link provided at the bottom of any messages received, or by managing your privacy preferences by logging in to your Amplified Life account and following the instructions here.
A right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority: you have the right to contact the supervisory authority to complain about Amplified Life’s personal data protection practices.
A right to give instructions concerning the use of your data after your death: as required by applicable law, you may have the right to give Amplified Life instructions concerning the use of your personal data after your death. To exercise one or more of these rights, you can email contactus@amplifemedia.com. You may access your personal data to modify or update at any time via an online account, or by emailing contactus@amplifemedia.com. We will respond to your request in a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable law.
In accordance with GDPR, Amplified Life provides the following information regarding its Article 6 legal bases for personal data processing: The performance of the contract (the Amplified Life Terms & Conditions) between you and Amplified Life for the data processing relating to your use of Amplified Life’s Products (including your orders and payments);
Amplified Life’s legitimate interest, more specifically:
We may disclose your personal data to third parties as follows:
The retention periods applied by Amplified Life comply with applicable legislation in effect on the date hereof, namely:
To the extent that you have provided appropriate consent under applicable law to certain processing activities, such consent can be withdrawn at any time by emailing contactus@amplifemedia.com.
The Products may, from time to time, contain links to and from the Products of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these external websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these websites or their policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these external websites.
You must be 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your province, territory or country, to sign up as a registered user of the Products. Individuals under the age of 18, or the applicable age of majority, may view the audiovisual content displayed in the Products only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, under such person's account, and otherwise subject to these Terms. This provision shall not be applicable to registrations made under certain Community (as defined below) offerings where specified in applicable contracts between Amplified Life and the Community.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our data practices. If we make any material changes we will notify you by in-Product message, email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice in the Products prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest data on our privacy practices.
Questions, comments and requests regarding this privacy policy are welcomed and should be addressed to contactus@amplifemedia.com. In the alternative, you may reach Amplified Life customer support at 616-239-2446.
The subsidiaries, service providers or other third parties listed above to whom Amplified Life may disclose your personal data may be domiciled abroad, and in particular outside the European Union, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
In such case, Amplified Life will require them to take, in accordance with applicable legislation, contractual, organizational and technical measures designed to ensure an adequate level of protection of your personal data, such as the use of Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
We remain certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/) and are committed to the important privacy principles set forth in Privacy Shield. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield List. https://www.privacyshield.gov/list
However, in light of the Schrems II decision by the European Court of Justice on July 16, 2020, we are no longer relying exclusively on EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield and are working to implement other transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses to address any transfers of personal data to the U.S., consistent with applicable law.
For personal data collected from individuals located in the European Union, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, you have the ability to opt-out of whether such personal data is disclosed to a third-party (apart from service providers) or is to be used for a purpose that is materially different for the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized. You can contact Amplified Life at contactus@amplifemedia.com in order to make such choices.
General disputes arising from your use of our Websites, Apps, Products, and other services can be found in our Terms & Conditions. However, if you have any questions or concerns regarding our information collection, use, and sharing practices as described in this Privacy Policy or in this Section 21 regarding Privacy Shield, you may reach us using the contact information at the end of this Policy and we will investigate the matter and resolve any issues, if we can. In the event that we are unable to resolve any such questions or concerns, you may be able to invoke binding arbitration, under certain conditions and as permitted by Privacy Shield, by contacting our U.S.-based third party dispute resolution provider (free of charge) at http://go.adr.org/privacyshield.html. Amplified Life is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”).
Amplified Life is mindful of its responsibility and potential liability for onward transfers of personal data to third parties where Amplified Life deems such transfers necessary and those transfers are subject to Privacy Shield.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
