Overview

Welcome to the Royalwise OWLS (On-demand Web-based Learning Solution), our video training library and learning platform!

As a new subscriber and/or learner in our community, you are in good hands. Our mission is to teach you how to confidently use your computer, and with our guidance we are confident that you will quickly be able to do so! We appreciate your business and thank you for your trust.

Customer service is just as important to us as is client support, and to that end, we want to proactively and transparently make sure you understand our Disclaimers, Terms and Conditions of your participation.

Registration Policy

Persons registering under personally identifiable information must be 17 years of age or older. See CHILDREN AGE 16 AND UNDER policy below for a full explanation.

Program Level Policy

Our courses/program levels have the following stated level of learning/difficulty: “Basic”, “Intermediate”, and “Advanced”. Basic refers to courses where no experience is necessary. Intermediate courses require some foundational knowledge for learner success. Advanced topics are topics for learners with specific needs.

CPE Content Review Policy

Programs offered for CPE credit are reviewed by qualified persons other than those who developed the programs. These reviews occur before the first presentation of the materials and again after each significant revision of the program. We require the participation of at least one CPA in the development of every program for accounting and auditing. And we require the participation of a CPA, tax attorney, or IRS enrolled agent in the development of each program in taxes.

Course Update Policy

Our curriculum is “technology-centric” and is often driven by software/hardware feature changes, as well as concepts and end-user experiences surrounding the technology. Because technology is always evolving, we work to update our course curriculum on an as needed basis and in order to have the curriculum remain relevant to our learners. We re-teach, re-record and update course material as often as every 3 months and as infrequently as 2 years. Due to the sporadic nature of changes in technology and the timing around course updates, what you see in our videos may not exactly match what you see on your screen. Please note that when an update to the curriculum occurs, learners are notified.

To request a course update please contact Jef Black, Operations Manager, at 503-406-6550, info@royalwise.com

Cancellation Policy

Live Classes: Live class enrollments can be transferred to our On-demand Courses or refunded before the course starts. If you miss a scheduled class, you will receive a recording to watch later. 

In the case that a Live Event is canceled you will receive a notification by email.

On-Demand: On-demand video courses can be refunded before 50% completion.

Subscription: Cancellation of your Royalwise subscription is quick and easy, and you have the ability to do so yourself at any time. To cancel, log into your OWLS portal (learn.royalwise.com). On the home page, scroll down on the right margin to “Subscriptions” and then click on the Cancel Subscription button.

We suggest giving yourself 5 days lead time before your renewal date to cancel your membership, just in case you have any questions. After you cancel, you can continue to watch courses until the end of your subscription period. For example, if you cancel a week before your renewal date, you can still take classes for seven more days.

Subscription cancellation requests are given a 5 business day grace period for monthly subscriptions and a 10 business day grace period for annual subscriptions.  We will fully refund tuition during that window. Requests received afterward will be prorated.

Even after canceling your membership subscription, you will still have lifetime access to all of the courses you specifically purchased, attended live, or enrolled using a coupon. This includes future updates of the course content.

For assistance with cancellations, please contact Jef Black, Operations Manager 503-406-6550, info@royalwise.com.

We do not store any credit card information we receive except as necessary to complete and satisfy our rights and obligations with regard to such transaction, billing arrangement, and/or as otherwise authorized by you.

Information about use of our Product:  Our servers automatically collect usage information about your use of the Product, including the webpages visited, number of log-ins, data displayed or clicked on, actions taken, your language preference, and other login information. We may collect automated error reports in the case of software malfunctions, which may contain some or all of the information in your account and content and may be reviewed to help resolve problems with the Product.

If you participate in a video conference with us, we may record the session and retain the recordings.  We will notify you first that the session is being recorded so that you can choose not to participate.  If you participate in a training or product course, we collect completion data.

We collect information from the device and application you use to access our Product. Device data mainly means your IP address, operating system version, device type, device ID/MAC address, system and performance information, and browser type.

This data includes usage and user statistics. Emails sent by Royalwise or by users through our Product also include page tags that allow the sender to collect information about who opened those emails and clicked on links in them. 

Like most websites today, our web servers keep log files that record data each time a device accesses those servers. The log files contain data about the nature of each access, including originating IP addresses, internet service providers, the files viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system versions, device type and timestamps.

If you arrive at Royalwise from an external source (such as a link on another website or in an email), we record information about the source that referred you to us.

IF YOU ARE 16 YEARS OLD OR YOUNGER, THE COMPANY REQUESTS THAT YOU NOT SUBMIT ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO THE SITE OR TO ROYALWISE.  If we discover that a child age 16 or younger has signed up for our Product or provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete that child’s identifiable information from our records.

Royalwise nonetheless encourages parents to go online with their kids. Here are a few tips to help make a child’s online experience safer:

  • Teach kids never to give personal information, unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult. Includes name, address, phone, school, etc.
  • Know the sites your kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate.
  • Look for Website privacy policies. Know how your child’s information is treated.
  • Check out the FTC’s site for more tips on protecting children's privacy online.

California Supplemental Privacy Notice -September 16, 2020

THIS SUPPLEMENT IS FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY

This California Supplemental Privacy Notice (“California Privacy Notice”) supplements the information contained in the Privacy Policy and applies solely to visitors, users, and others who are residents of the State of California. This section describes your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and other California laws. Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning as when used herein. 

While we have set out the categories below as required by the CCPA, you can review our Privacy Policy for examples and other information that describes our data collection and use, which will not change under this notice.

What is the CCPA? The CCPA is a California law that provides California residents certain rights to their personal information.  

California residents, called “consumers” in the CCPA, have the following rights: 

  • The right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of personal information over the past 12 months.
  • The right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collect from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions.
  • The right to opt-out of the sale of personal information by us. 
  • The right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for exercising the privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. 

We will explain more about how to exercise these rights below.  

When we talk about “personal information” under the CCPA, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked to, directly or indirectly, a particular consumer or household. Personal information does not include publicly available information or information that is deidentified or aggregate consumer information.  The CCPA does not apply to personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994. It also doesn’t apply to health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data.

Scope of the California Privacy Notice.

This California Privacy Notice does not apply to personal information we collect from employees or job applicants in their capacity as employees or job applicants. It also does not apply to personal information we collect from employees, owners, directors, officers, or contractors of businesses in the course of our provision or receipt of business-related services. Therefore, any responses pursuant to the CCPA may exclude those categories of personal information. 

Information We Have Collected About Consumers in the Preceding 12 Months.

All of the categories of personal information we collect about you (as detailed below) come from the following categories of sources:

  • You, including through your use of our services and product;
  • Automatically collected from you; and
  • Third parties, such as when you give permission to social networks to share your information with us or where you have made your personal information publicly available online.

The following chart sets out the CCPA categories of personal information we have collected from consumers within the last twelve (12) months.

Categories of Personal Information We Collect

Categories of Third Parties with Which We May Share that Information

Identifiers (such as name, address, email address)

  • Event Sponsors

Commercial Information (such as transaction data)

  • Our service providers

Financial Data (such as billing information)

  • Our service providers

Internet or Other Network or Device Activity (such as browsing history or app usage)

  • Third parties (such as our service providers and integration partners)
  • Our affiliate companies
  • Aggregators (such as analytics services)

Location Information (e.g. inferred from your IP address)

  • Third parties (such as our service providers and integration partners)

Professional or Employment-Related Data (such as the name of your employer)

  • Event sponsors

Legally Protected Classifications (such as gender and marital status)

  • None

Other Information that Identifies or Can Be Reasonably Associated with You

  • Third parties (such as our service providers and integration partners)

The Purposes for Which Personal Information is Collected.

We may collect the personal information we collect for one or more of the following business purposes: 

  • Providing our services (for example, account servicing and maintenance, customer service, advertising and marketing, analytics, and communication about our services);
  • For our operational purposes, and the operational purposes of our service providers and integration partners;
  • Improving our existing product and services and developing new products and services (e.g., by conducting research to develop new products or features);
  • Detecting, protecting against, and prosecuting security incidents and fraudulent or illegal activity;
  • Bug detection, error reporting, and activities to maintain the quality or safety of our services;
  • Auditing consumer interactions on our site (for example, measuring ad impressions);
  • Short-term, transient use, such as customizing content that we or our service providers display on the product;
  • Other uses that advance our commercial or economic interests, such as third party advertising and communicating with you about relevant offers from third party partners;
  • To respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations;
  • To evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Royalwise's business or assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by Royalwise is among the assets transferred; and
  • As described to you when collecting your personal information or as otherwise set forth in the CCPA.

Sale of Your Personal Information. 

The CCPA defines a “sale” of personal information as the disclosure, sharing, or making available of a consumer’s personal information by a business to another business or third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.  It is not a sale if a consumer uses or directs the business to intentionally disclose personal information or uses the business to intentionally interact with a third party. Royalwise does not monetize your personal information. We share certain information about your device and interaction with our digital properties to enhance your experience with us and to engage in the legitimate business purpose of advertising and marketing. 

The CCPA requires businesses that “sell” personal information to provide California residents the right to opt out from such sales. Royalwise does not “sell” your personal information as we understand that term to be defined by the CCPA and its implementing regulations. To the extent that you have taken the position that a website’s use of third-party cookies or similar technology for advertising or analytics constitutes a “sale” under the CCPA, you may consider Royalwise to have “sold” what the CCPA refers to as “identifiers” (e.g. IP addresses), “internet or other electronic network activity information,” and “commercial information.” Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information, including how to exercise your rights to opt-out or manage your cookie preferences.   

Exercising Your California Privacy Rights.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. Agents must submit proof that they have been authorized by the consumer to act on their behalf. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. 

We verify requests by sending a confirmation email to the requestor and by matching the identifying information provided by the consumer to the personal information already maintained by us. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot: (i) verify your identity or authority to make the request; and (ii) confirm the personal information relates to you. If we are unable to verify the identity of a consumer to a sufficient degree of certainty, we will deny the request and explain the reason for the denial. 

If you would like further information regarding your legal rights under applicable law or would like to exercise any of them, please contact us via support@royalwise.com.

You may only make a verifiable request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. California residents may exercise their California privacy rights by submitting your request to support@royalwise.com.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights and do not have an account with us, please contact us via: support@royalwise.com and we will request additional information to perform identity verification where possible.

Other California Privacy Rights.

In addition to the CCPA, the California Civil Code permits California residents with whom we have an established business relationship to request that we provide you with a list of certain categories of personal information that we have disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year. To make such a request, please contact us at support@royalwise.com and mention that you are making a “California Shine the Light” inquiry.

Residents of the European Economic Area

We provide the representations and information in this section in compliance with European privacy laws, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are a visitor from the European Territories (including the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal data described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

We will normally collect personal data from you where the processing is in our legitimate interests. In some cases we may collect, and process personal data based on consent. 

EU data subjects have certain rights with respect to your personal data that we collect and process. We respond to all requests we receive from individuals in the EEA wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

  • Access, Correction or Deletion. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. You can often go directly into the Service under Account Settings to take these actions.
  • Objection. You may object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes and may do so using the options provided in this Policy. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Restriction. You have the right to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Portability. You have the right to request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw Consent. If we have collected and processed your personal data with your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal data conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
  • File a complaint. You have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority about our collection and processing of your personal data. To file a request or act on one of your rights, please contact us at the contact details provided below. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

To submit a request regarding your European Privacy Rights, please see the instructions at the end of this Privacy Policy. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Do Not Track Disclosure

Regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission have promoted the concept of Do Not Track as a mechanism to permit Internet users to control online tracking activity across websites through their browser settings. Since no industry standard has been adopted, we currently do not process or comply with any web browser’s “do-not-track” signal or other similar mechanism that indicates a request to disable online tracking of individual users who visit the Royalwise website or use our Product.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our data practices.  If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the email address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on our website or in the Product prior to becoming effective.  We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest data on our privacy practices.
