Last Updated: September 1, 2026

FlowStartX, LLC (“FlowStartX,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of individuals who visit our website, communicate with us, purchase or participate in our programs or services, attend our events, or otherwise interact with FlowStartX.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information and explains certain choices and rights that may be available to you.

By accessing or using our website or voluntarily providing personal information to FlowStartX, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy applies to FlowStartX's website, programs, workshops, events, consultations, communications, registrations, transactions, and other interactions with FlowStartX, whether conducted online or offline, unless a different privacy notice expressly applies.

1. INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT

We may collect the following categories of information.

Telephone number
Company or organization name
Job title or professional role
Information submitted through contact, consultation, registration, or inquiry forms
Other information you voluntarily provide when communicating with us

Registration information

Attendance information
Communications relating to your participation
Scheduling information
Feedback, evaluations, or survey responses
Information you voluntarily provide to FlowStartX during the program or event

FlowStartX does not require participants to provide confidential or proprietary business information except where reasonably necessary for a particular service and expressly requested.

C. Transaction and Payment Information

When you make a purchase, registration payment, or other financial transaction, payment information may be collected and processed by third-party payment processors, commerce platforms, financial institutions, or other service providers used by FlowStartX.

FlowStartX may receive transaction-related information such as your name, contact information, transaction amount, payment status, date of transaction, purchased service, and transaction identifier.

FlowStartX generally does not directly receive or store complete payment-card numbers when payment information is processed by a third-party payment processor.

D. Website and Device Information

When you visit our website, certain information may be collected automatically by us or by service providers supporting the website.

This information may include:

Internet Protocol (IP) address
Browser type
Device type
Operating system
Pages viewed
Referring and exit pages
Approximate geographic location derived from IP address
Date and time of visits
Website interactions
Cookie or similar technology identifiers
Other technical information relating to website usage

E. Communications Information

If you contact FlowStartX by email, telephone, website form, social media, or another communication channel, we may retain information concerning that communication as reasonably necessary for business, customer-service, security, recordkeeping, or legal purposes.

2. HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

We may collect personal information:

Directly from you;
Through our website;
When you register for or purchase a program or service;
When you attend or participate in a FlowStartX event;
When you request information or a consultation;
Through surveys, evaluations, or feedback;
Through email, telephone, SMS/text messaging, or other communications;
Through cookies and similar technologies;
From service providers acting on our behalf;
From corporate or organizational clients in connection with programs they arrange for their personnel; and
From other lawful sources.

3. HOW FLOWSTARTX USES INFORMATION

FlowStartX may use personal information for legitimate business and operational purposes, including to:

Provide and administer our programs, workshops, consultations, events, and services;
Process registrations and transactions;
Respond to inquiries and requests;
Schedule consultations or services;
Communicate with customers, prospective customers, participants, corporate clients, and business contacts;
Provide administrative messages, confirmations, reminders, and program information;
Send marketing or promotional communications where permitted by law;
Improve our website, programs, curriculum, services, and customer experience;
Analyze website and service usage;
Maintain business and transaction records;
Protect the security and integrity of our website, systems, business, personnel, participants, and property;
Detect or prevent fraud, misuse, security incidents, or unlawful activity;
Enforce our agreements, policies, and legal rights;

Comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, subpoenas, governmental requests, and other legal obligations;
Facilitate corporate transactions or business restructuring; and
Carry out other purposes disclosed to you at the time information is collected or with your consent.

We may also use information that has been aggregated or de-identified so that it cannot reasonably be associated with a particular individual.

4. EMAIL AND TEXT MESSAGE COMMUNICATIONS

If you provide FlowStartX with your email address or telephone number, we may use that information to send communications relating to your inquiries, purchases, registrations, appointments, programs, events, or other interactions with FlowStartX.

Where permitted by applicable law and where any required consent has been obtained, we may also send promotional or marketing communications.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the applicable message.

You may withdraw consent to promotional text messages through the opt-out method identified in the message or by otherwise communicating a reasonable request to stop receiving such messages.

Opting out of promotional communications does not necessarily prevent FlowStartX from sending non-promotional communications reasonably necessary to administer a transaction, registration, program, contractual relationship, safety matter, or other service you requested.

FlowStartX may use third-party communication providers to deliver email or SMS communications.

5. PHOTOGRAPHY, AUDIO, VIDEO AND RECORDINGS

FlowStartX programs, workshops, corporate sessions, Builder Experiences, events, presentations, interviews, and other activities may be photographed, livestreamed, audio recorded, or video recorded.

Recordings may contain an individual's image, likeness, voice, statements, participation, or other information.

Where applicable, FlowStartX may use such recordings for purposes authorized by an applicable participant agreement, media release, contractual agreement, consent, or other authorization.

Such purposes may include program documentation, education, training, internal business use, advertising, marketing, promotional materials, social media, websites, presentations, publications, and other lawful business purposes.

This Privacy Policy does not itself constitute a media release or replace any consent or authorization that may be required by applicable law or a separate agreement.

Specific recording and media-use rights may therefore be governed by separate participant terms, corporate agreements, media releases, notices, or authorizations.

6. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND FLOWAI

FlowStartX may provide education or instruction concerning the use of third-party artificial intelligence tools as part of certain educational programs, including FlowAI.

FlowStartX does not operate an artificial intelligence system that collects, stores, processes, or maintains participant or client business data.

Participants using third-party artificial intelligence tools interact with those third-party services independently.

FlowStartX does not receive, access, store, or process through FlowStartX systems the business information that participants independently submit directly to third-party artificial intelligence services.

Information submitted by a participant directly to a third-party artificial intelligence provider is subject to that provider's own terms, privacy practices, security practices, and data policies.

Participants are responsible for evaluating what information they choose to provide to third-party artificial intelligence services.

7. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Our website and service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, analytics technologies, or similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website activity, measure performance, improve services, maintain security, and, where applicable, support advertising or marketing activities.

Some technologies may be necessary for website functionality. Others may be controlled through available browser settings, cookie-management tools, or consent mechanisms.

Disabling certain technologies may affect website functionality.

Where required by applicable law, FlowStartX will provide applicable choices concerning nonessential cookies or similar technologies.

8. ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING TECHNOLOGIES

FlowStartX may use third-party analytics, advertising, measurement, or marketing technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website and communications and to evaluate or improve our marketing efforts.

Depending upon the technologies FlowStartX uses at a particular time, these providers may collect device, browser, cookie, usage, interaction, or similar information.

FlowStartX may change service providers as its business and technology needs evolve.

The privacy practices of independent third parties are governed by their respective privacy policies and terms.

9. HOW WE MAY DISCLOSE INFORMATION

FlowStartX may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes, including to the following categories of recipients.

Service Providers and Contractors

We may disclose information to companies or individuals providing services on our behalf, including providers of:

Website hosting and website functionality
Payment processing
Registration and scheduling
Email or SMS communications
Customer relationship management
Cloud storage
Analytics
Marketing
Accounting and bookkeeping
Professional services

Security
Event administration
Other business-support services

Such providers may change as FlowStartX grows or modifies its operations.

Corporate and Organizational Clients

When an employer, company, nonprofit organization, government entity, or other organization engages FlowStartX to provide services to its personnel, certain administrative or participation information may be communicated to that organization where reasonably necessary to perform the engagement or as otherwise authorized.

Professional Advisers

Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to attorneys, accountants, insurers, auditors, consultants, and other professional advisers.

Legal and Safety Purposes

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to:

Comply with applicable law;
Respond to lawful governmental requests;
Comply with subpoenas, warrants, court orders, or legal process;
Investigate suspected fraud or unlawful conduct;
Protect FlowStartX's legal rights or property;
Protect the rights, property, security, or safety of others; or
Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Business Transactions

If FlowStartX is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, reorganization, sale of assets, dissolution, bankruptcy, or similar business transaction, information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

10. SALE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

FlowStartX does not sell personal information for money as part of its ordinary business model.

Certain advertising, analytics, cookie, or marketing technologies can, however, constitute a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws even when no money is exchanged.

To the extent FlowStartX engages in activity legally classified as selling or sharing personal information, FlowStartX will provide any notices, consent mechanisms, opt-out methods, or other rights required by applicable law.

FlowStartX will honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, to the extent required by applicable law.

11. DATA RETENTION

FlowStartX retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or for other legitimate business purposes, including to:

Provide services;
Complete transactions;
Maintain business and financial records;
Maintain appropriate participation or contractual records;
Resolve disputes;
Prevent fraud or abuse;
Maintain security;
Enforce agreements;
Establish or defend legal claims; and
Satisfy applicable legal, tax, accounting, insurance, regulatory, or contractual requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending upon the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is maintained.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, FlowStartX may delete, destroy, anonymize, or de-identify it, subject to applicable law and reasonable technical limitations.

12. DATA SECURITY

FlowStartX takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the information in its possession and the circumstances of its operations.

We may also rely upon third-party service providers that maintain their own security safeguards.

However, no method of electronic transmission, storage, website operation, or information-security system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, FlowStartX cannot and does not guarantee the absolute security of personal information.

Users are also responsible for taking reasonable precautions when transmitting information electronically and should avoid sending highly sensitive information through ordinary email or other unsecured communication methods unless necessary.

13. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES

Our website, programs, communications, or materials may contain links to websites, platforms, applications, social-media services, payment services, artificial intelligence services, or other resources operated by third parties.

FlowStartX does not control the privacy, security, content, or data practices of independent third parties.

This Privacy Policy does not govern information you provide directly to an independent third party.

You should review the privacy policies and terms of third-party services before providing information to them.

14. THE MOTIVATION EFFECT AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS

FlowStartX may from time to time provide information about, link to, collaborate with, or facilitate opportunities to support separate organizations, including The Motivation Effect.

The Motivation Effect is separate from FlowStartX.

If you leave FlowStartX's website or provide information directly to a separate organization, that organization's privacy policy and practices govern the information collected directly by that organization.

The presence of a link, donation opportunity, collaboration, or reference on a FlowStartX website does not cause information independently collected by another organization to become information controlled by FlowStartX.

15. ADULTS ONLY

FlowStartX's website, services, programs, and offerings governed by this Privacy Policy are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older.

FlowStartX does not knowingly solicit personal information through these services from children under 18.

If we learn that information has been collected through a FlowStartX service from an individual under 18 in circumstances where such collection was not intended or authorized, we may take reasonable steps to delete the information as appropriate.

Separate youth programs operated by another organization, including programs that may be associated with The Motivation Effect, are not governed by this Privacy Policy merely because FlowStartX may reference or support them.

16. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES

Depending upon where you reside and the laws applicable to FlowStartX, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These rights may include the ability to request:

Access to personal information;
Information concerning categories of information collected;
Correction of inaccurate personal information;
Deletion of certain personal information;
A copy of certain personal information;
Information concerning how personal information is used or disclosed;
Opt-out from certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising;
Limitation of certain uses of sensitive personal information; or
Other rights provided by applicable law.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions, verification requirements, record-retention obligations, contractual requirements, or other limitations permitted by law.

FlowStartX reserves the right to deny or limit a request where permitted or required by applicable law.

17. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

FlowStartX is organized in California and respects privacy rights available to California residents.

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (“CCPA”), applies to businesses that satisfy specified statutory requirements. Nothing in this Privacy Policy constitutes a representation that FlowStartX presently meets every threshold necessary to be classified as a business subject to every provision of the CCPA.

Where the CCPA or another California privacy law applies to FlowStartX and a particular individual or processing activity, eligible California residents may have rights including:

The right to know;
The right to request deletion;
The right to request correction;
The right to opt out of qualifying sale or sharing;
The right to limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information, where applicable; and
The right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights.

California's current consumer guidance describes these rights and the required notices for businesses subject to the CCPA. (California DOJ)

FlowStartX will process applicable privacy requests in accordance with the law applicable to the request.

18. SUBMITTING A PRIVACY REQUEST

To submit a privacy or personal-information request, contact:

FlowStartX, LLC
Email: info@flowstartx.com

You may also submit a request through the contact form available on the FlowStartX website.

Please clearly indicate that your communication concerns a privacy request.

We may need to request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity or authority before fulfilling certain requests.

Verification information will be used for verification and related security purposes.

Where permitted by law, FlowStartX may decline requests that cannot reasonably be verified, are fraudulent or abusive, conflict with legal obligations, interfere with the rights of others, or fall within another lawful exception.

Authorized agents may submit requests where applicable law permits them to do so, subject to appropriate verification of their authority.

19. DO NOT TRACK AND PRIVACY PREFERENCE SIGNALS

Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” functionality. Because there is not necessarily a uniform legal or technological standard governing all Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to every such signal.

Where applicable law requires FlowStartX to recognize a legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, FlowStartX will endeavor to process that signal as required by applicable law.

20. INTERNATIONAL USERS

FlowStartX is based in the United States.

If you access our website or services from outside the United States, information you provide may be transferred to, processed in, or stored in the United States or other jurisdictions in which our service providers operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from those of your country of residence.

Where applicable law imposes additional requirements concerning international data processing or transfers, FlowStartX will address those requirements to the extent they apply to its activities.

21. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

FlowStartX may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our business, technology, services, legal obligations, or privacy practices.

When we update the Policy, we may change the “Last Updated” date displayed at the beginning of the Policy.

Where applicable law requires additional notice or consent for a material change, FlowStartX will provide such notice or obtain such consent as required.

You should periodically review this Privacy Policy for changes.
