Who we are
Our website address is: https://thegiftedleader.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

About Us
Privacy and safety are of the utmost importance for The Gifted Leader, so we’ve developed this Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information. We collect personal information when you use our website, and other online and offline products, services and experiences. Please take a moment to read through this Policy in its entirety.
If you have any questions, concerns or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or how we use your personal information please contact us via our office phone, 847-875-6941.
What Personal Information We Collect and How We Collect It
We collect personal information that you provide directly to us:
Contact information. We collect personal contact information as part of documentation signed by the client. Personal contact information would look like email address, mail address, personal phone number, and home/work phone number. If anything is missing from our systems that are necessary for repairs or customer service, we will reach out to you for that information.
Survey information. You may provide us with other personal information when you fill in a form, respond to our surveys, questionnaires, or provide us with feedback.
How We Use Your Personal Information
We use the personal information we collect for the following reasons:
To reply to your questions, inquiries, or customer service requests or to send you notices, updates, security alerts, or support and administrative messages.
To update you about the status of your vehicle, automotive, or job to whatever status it may or may not be in.
To monitor and analyze trends, usage and activities in connection with our Services and to improve our Services to you now and going forward.
To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered between you and us, including for billing and collection.
How We Share Your Personal Information
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes.
We may share your personal information in the following ways:
With vendors, consultants, and other service providers who process your personal information on our behalf when they provide services to us, for example marketing and financial services.
We may be legally required to disclose or share your personal information without your consent in some circumstances, for example to comply with a court order or law enforcement. In such circumstances, we will only disclose your personal data if we have a good-faith belief that such sharing is required under applicable legal obligations.
How Do I Opt-out of Messaging?
As described in the Messaging Terms & Conditions, you can opt-out at any time by texting “STOP”. After you send the SMS message “STOP”, we will send you a message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed and no more messages will be sent. If you would like to receive messages from The Gifted Leader again, contact the office and you will be added back on.
Retention of Your Data and Deletion
When we decide how long we will keep your information we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, why we need it, and any relevant legal requirements (such as legal retention and destruction periods).
The foregoing will, however, not prevent us from retaining any personal information if it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to file a legal claim or defend ourselves against a legal claim, or for evidential purposes.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
From time to time, we have the right to modify this Privacy Policy. We’re likely to update this Privacy Policy in the future when we make changes. Please come back and check this page from time to time for the latest information on our privacy practices.
