This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which the website collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a ‘User’) of the website (‘Site’). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by The Inspiration Lab.

 

The Inspiration Lab operates in Wilmington, NC. Our goal is to create an authentic place for women to learn and be inspired by one another. We help women foster meaningful connections and self-growth through live events, workshops, and conferences.  

 

With our local community in mind, we realize some may find us before they move to Wilmington, or move to different states after finding us, and our website may be discovered by someone outside the U.S.  Since the Inspiration Lab is a U.S.-based company, our website is controlled from our office in the United States. The data protection rules and rights of government access to your data in your country may be different than those in the United States.  We will continue to process your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

 

We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, register on the site, subscribe to the newsletter, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, their email address. Users may, however, visit our Site anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personally identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site related activities.
