Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information that helps us respond to your inquiries, fulfill book orders (through our retail partners), and share occasional updates about Missouri's work. The types of information we may collect include:

Information you provide directly

• Contact details — name, email address, and any message content you submit through our contact form.
• Inquiry category — the topic you select (e.g., speaking engagement, image consulting, GLI Experience, media inquiry, bulk order).
• Correspondence — emails, phone messages, or social-media replies you send to us directly.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data — pages visited, approximate location (by IP), browser type, device type, and referring site.
• Cookies & similar technologies — small files that help the site function and that let us understand general traffic patterns.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected for the following purposes:

• To respond to your questions, booking requests, and consulting inquiries.
• To send you information you request about the book, events, and the GLI Experience™.
• To improve the content, performance, and security of this website.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

3. Sharing & Disclosure

We share information only in these limited situations:

• Service providers — trusted vendors who help us operate the site, deliver email, or process inquiries (for example, form providers, email platforms, hosting providers). They are contractually required to protect your information.
• Retail partners — book purchases happen on third-party platforms (e.g., Amazon). Those platforms have their own privacy policies.
• Legal compliance — if required by law, subpoena, or to protect the safety or rights of Missouri, our readers, or the public.
• Business transfers — in the unlikely event of a merger, sale, or reorganization.

4. Cookies & Analytics

This site may use cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain site features.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Contact-form submissions are typically retained for up to 24 months unless an active relationship requires longer retention.

6. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access — request a copy of the information we hold about you.
• Correction — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion — request deletion of your information, subject to legal exceptions.
• Opt-out — unsubscribe from any marketing emails at any time using the link in the email or by contacting us.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@gliexp.com.

7. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to third-party websites (such as Amazon, social media, or the GLI Experience). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their policies.

10. Changes to This Policy
