3.1 Information You Provide Directly

We collect information you choose to submit through forms on the Site, including:

  • Contact and inquiry forms (Contact page, Event Speaking, 12 O’Clock High Leadership Summit, Red Carpet Tour, and the What’s My Purpose? Life Mastery Course pages) — typically your name, email address, phone number, and message.

We use this information only for the purpose you provided it — to respond to your inquiry, send the content you requested, or add you to our mailing list.

3.2 Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, when you visit the Site we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring URLs, and the dates and times of your visit. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 5).

3.3 Information from Analytics and Advertising Partners

We use the following third-party tools on the Site:

  • Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics — to understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., pages visited, time on site, general location).
  • Meta (Facebook) Pixel — to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook and Instagram content and, where applicable, to show you relevant ads on those platforms.
  • LinkedIn Insight Tag — to measure the performance of LinkedIn content and ads and to understand our LinkedIn audience.

These tools may set cookies or use similar technology to collect information about your browsing behavior across this Site and other websites. We do not control how these third parties use that information beyond the Site; please review their own privacy policies for details on their practices and your choices.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for any purpose other than those described in this Policy.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and help us understand how the Site is used. The Site uses cookies for:

  • Essential site functionality;
  • Analytics (Google Analytics/Tag Manager);
  • Advertising and remarketing (Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag).

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. You can also opt out of certain third-party advertising cookies directly:

  • Google: Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com) or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Meta/Facebook: Ad preferences in your Facebook account settings, or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out at optout.aboutads.info.
  • LinkedIn: Ad preferences under Settings & Privacy in your LinkedIn account.

Note that disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Site function.

6. How We Share Your Information

We share information only in the following circumstances:

  • With service providers who help us operate the Site, send emails, or host our web forms, under obligations to protect your information;
  • With analytics and advertising partners identified in Section 3.3, in accordance with their own privacy policies;
  • If required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of JL White International, LLC, our visitors, or the public;
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

7. Embedded and Third-Party Content

Some pages on the Site (for example, the Podcast, Webinar, and blog pages) include embedded content from third-party platforms such as YouTube, SoundCloud, Spreaker, Mixcloud, and Podbean. Interacting with this embedded content is subject to the privacy policy of the platform that hosts it, and that platform may collect data about your visit independent of this Site.

The Site also links out to third-party sites we do not control, including Amazon (for book purchases), press and media outlets, and charitable organizations we support (such as Niño de la Caridad Foundation). We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site before providing personal information.

8. Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions and newsletter subscriber information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry or to keep you subscribed to our mailing list, or until you ask us to delete it. You may unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time using the link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly (Section 11).

9. Your Privacy Rights

9.1 All Visitors

You may contact us at any time to ask what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to request that we delete it. See Section 11 for how to reach us.

9.2 California Residents

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended, may give you additional rights, including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (as those terms are defined under CCPA, which can include certain advertising cookies described in Section 5). We do not sell personal information for money. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 11.

9.3 Visitors in the European Union / United Kingdom

If you are located in the EU or UK, you may have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or UK GDPR, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest (such as analytics or advertising).
