How we protect your privacy
Last Updated: August 10, 2022
Your privacy is important to us. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personal data you provide us through your engagement with us. The purpose of this privacy policy is to help you better understand how we collect, store, and process this information. This policy is meant to help you understand more about why we collect and use your data whether you’re a website visitor, a newsletter recipient or participant in one of The Leap’s programs (collectively referred to below as, the “Services”).
This website may include links to third party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements or practices. Our privacy policy does not apply to any information collected by any third party, including through any application or content that may be accessible via our website. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
This Privacy Policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes to operational or legal practices, or for regulatory reasons. If and when we make changes to this policy, we will notify you of the changes by posting the revised policy on this website or by other means where practical.
We’ve broken this policy down into different sections so you can better understand how they are applicable to you.
Minors
We do not knowingly provide services to children. If you are below the age of 16, you may use our website only with the permission and active involvement of a parent or legal guardian. If you are a minor, please do not provide us or other website visitors with any personal information and do not use this website. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we may delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected].
THE TYPE OF PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT FROM YOU
Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified.
We may process (eg collect, use, store and/or transfer) different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:
- We collect your name, email address, and IP address. We need this information to provide you with the Services. For example, we use this information to confirm your identity and contact you or send you our newsletter.
- When you voluntarily share personal information with us, we store that personal information.
- We may collect data about how and when you interact with us. We may display this information publicly or provide it to others in an aggregated or anonymous manner to protect your privacy.
Information We Collect From Other Sources
We use public sources like Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn to obtain the contact details of individuals who we reasonably believe may have an interest in our Services.

Information that we share with third parties
The Leap works with third parties to help provide our services and we may share your personal data with them to support these efforts in accordance with the purposes and lawful bases set out in the table above. In certain limited circumstances, we may also be required to share personal data with third parties to conform to legal requirements or to respond to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
Personal data may be shared with third parties to prevent,
investigate, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud,
situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person,
violations of our Terms of Service or any other agreement related to the
services, or as otherwise required by law.
Personal data may also be shared with a company that acquires our
business, whether through merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution,
reorganization, or other similar transaction or proceeding. If this happens, we
will post a notice on our homepage.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
The Leap will ask for your consent before sharing your Personal Information
with third parties for purposes other than those described in this Section 7.
Terminating your relationship with us
We’d hate to see you leave, but if you decide to terminate your relationship with us, you may request that we delete your information. We try our best to comply with such requests and will do so with undue delay unless we’re required to maintain a copy to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
We will continue to store anonymous or anonymized information, such as website visits, without identifiers, in order to improve our Services.
What we don’t do with your personal Information
We do not and will never share, disclose, sell, rent, or otherwise provide personal information to other companies for the marketing of their own products or services.
Keeping your personal information secure
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
International transfers of personal data
The Leap is a Canadian company that provides services to
customers, and our technology processes data from users, around the world.
Accordingly, The Leap may transfer your personal data outside of the country, state, or province in which you are located. The Leap ensures that whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK and EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following appropriate safeguards is implemented:
- We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for processing of personal data pursuant to adequacy regulations made in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
- Where we use certain service providers, we will enter into an agreement with those providers in the form of the standard contractual clauses approved in accordance with applicable data protection laws and which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK and EEA.
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.
