Privacy Policy

Welcome to our website's Privacy Policy. What you read here addresses services offered by the MBTI^® Master Practitioner Credential Program (hereinafter, "The Program"), including information-gathering and dissemination practices for the web services at https://www.mbtimasterpractitioner.org and linked pages (collectively, "website" or "our site"). Revised August 3, 3023.

By submitting your information to us through the creation of a new account, or through an existing account, you agree to the practices described herein, and you represent that you are at least 18 years of age.

This Privacy Policy only applies to those who have met the prerequisite requirement of having successfully completed an approved MBTI^® Certification Program and have completed and submitted an application to the MBTI^® Master Practitioner Credential Program (Applicant) and those who have received the designation of MBTI^® Master Practitioner (Master Practitioner).

Both Applicants and Master Practitioners agree to the practices described herein.

This Website is operated in the United States, and the information collected from this site may be retained indefinitely, and may be stored, accessed, and used in jurisdictions whose privacy laws may be different or less protective than the home jurisdiction of Applicants or Master Practitioners.

The Program reserves the right to disclose Applicant and/or Master Practitioner personal or professional information if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, respond to claims, or protect the rights, property, or safety of others. Except as noted in this Policy, the Program does not release sell or rent information to third parties.

The MBTI^® Master Practitioner Credential Program is owned by The Myers-Briggs Company and is administered by Myers & Briggs Foundation, Inc.

The information we collect from those who visit our website

You can access and retrieve information from our website without having to enter personal data. We collect personal data only with your knowledge and prior approval. When we collect data, it is voluntary for registration, order and survey purposes using forms, or via e-mail.

The Program collects two types of data from people who visit www.mbtimasterpractitioner.org:

   1) When you come to this website, some information may be automatically collected as part of business operations, including your IP address and navigational information. Your name, address, phone number, email address, password, and other information needed for specific purposes are obtained when you create an online account with us.

When you enroll in the Program, we store any email messages which we have sent to you. If you send us an email this email is also stored. This information is used to constantly analyze and improve our customer service and for protection against fraud. In due time, this information will be blocked or deleted, as permitted by law. In addition to this information, for security reasons, each time you access our server, our server and your browser automatically transmit, record and save data which possibly permit identification (such as the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the system you are using to access our Web site; the IP address of the Web site that referred you; your browser type, date and time). This information is not processed on a personal basis.

   2) The Program also collects data from applicants who willingly provide that information.

We reserve the right to make data anonymous and prepare statistical evaluations that do not allow personal inferences to be drawn. These evaluations may be used for marketing, promotion and other purposes. We will never make available information that allows personal identification of individuals.

This website uses cookies, which are necessary to its functioning and required to achieve the purposes illustrated in this privacy policy. These functional cookies are required for your security and your user experience. The information we gather through the use of tracking technologies is aggregated and cannot be matched with any personally identifiable information about you.

You can decline cookies at any time if your browser allows you to do this. Depending on your browser's settings, you will receive a notification that our server wants to place a cookie with a particular lifespan on your computer. However, we would like to point out that it will be impossible for you to use our order system if you decline functional cookies.

Whenever our cookies contain personal data, we expressly inform you and ask for your consent (opt-in) before saving the cookie to your computer.

From time to time we may share aggregate data collected through responses given for surveys and/or assessments with other publishers, training organizations, professional groups, or researchers for educational purposes, assessment development, and/or web site improvements. This aggregate information is never associated with your name or other personally identifiable information.

If you provide us with personally identifiable information, we use the information only to the extent necessary to provide you with products, reports, and/or services that you have requested, inquired about, or ordered.

The information we collect and how we use it

The Program collects information from individuals when an account is created, most commonly for the purpose of enrolling in and paying the MBTI^® Master Practitioner Program.

When you create an account, we will ask for your address, phone number, email address, and information for a method of payment. As a matter of policy, we do not store credit card numbers and will not share customer financial transaction information with any other entity.

The Program will not share personally identifiable information with entities unrelated to Myers & Briggs Foundation or the Program, except for The Myers-Briggs Company, the owner of the MBTI Master Practitioner Program. We may, however, use such information to notify you of important changes to our website or of special offers, services, or products we think you'll find valuable. You may opt out of these notifications at any time.

The Program engages in online advertising placements with third party providers, including but not limited to Google and Bing ads. The Program does not gather personally identifiable information from the "clicks" on these ads, although access to the data gathered by these third-party providers is made available to us. Information received by the Program from these ad placements includes aggregate data on demographics, geographic location, types of web browsers, computers, platforms, internet service providers, or any search terms entered on the referring website. This aggregate data cannot be traced to an individual.

The Program reserves the right to disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with the legal process, response to claims, or to protect the rights, property or safety of the Program's employees, customers, clients, or the general public.

Other than as described above, The Program does not sell, rent, or provide access to information about its clients and customers to third parties.

Guidelines Regarding Children

The protection of children's privacy and safety is taken very seriously by the Program. We do not encourage use of or visitation to our Website by children without permission by a parent or guardian.

Participation in The Program's Mailing List

Based upon the personal information that you provide us, we may communicate with you in response to your inquiries to provide the services you request and to manage your account. We will communicate with you by email or telephone, in accordance with your wishes. We may also use your personal information to send you updates and other promotional communications. If you no longer wish to receive those email updates, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each update or communication, or log into your account to set your communication preferences.

Security

The Program has put stringent security measures in place to protect you from the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Whenever you submit an order to the Program, you can do so over a secure (i.e., encrypted) connection. This ensures that your personal information is not at risk. We have established technologies and procedures to protect your personal information that is under our control. We protect this information from unauthorized access, usage, modification, and illegal or accidental loss. Our servers employ a variety of security mechanisms and authorization processes to hamper unauthorized access.

Credit Card Information

We do not store credit card information longer than needed to complete your transaction. To help maintain high levels of security, we request that you do not include any credit card information in email correspondence with the Program.

Access, data integrity, and The Program's Responsiveness

You may at any time request access to the personal data we have on file for you, subject to verification of the authenticity of the request. You have the right to review this personal information for accuracy, currency, and completeness. The Program agrees to expeditiously correct such information where allowed and appropriate. The Program does not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share your personal information with third parties.
