Providing an email address to access an assessment, resource, product, or service does not automatically enroll you in ongoing marketing communications.

Where applicable, marketing emails will include an unsubscribe option. You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link provided in those emails.

Assessment responses and results are intended for the purposes described with the particular assessment or tool and will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Purchases & Payment Information
ShellyMGates.com may offer digital products, books, courses, programs, and other products or services for purchase.
Payments may be processed through third-party payment processors or ecommerce providers. When a third-party payment processor is used, payment information such as credit or debit card details is generally provided directly to that processor rather than stored by ShellyMGates.com.
Those providers process information according to their own privacy and security practices.
We may receive and retain information associated with a transaction, such as your name, email address, products purchased, transaction status, and other information necessary to fulfill your order or provide customer support.
Service Providers
We may use third-party service providers to help operate ShellyMGates.com and provide products, services, communications, payment processing, website hosting, ecommerce functionality, analytics, email delivery, forms, assessments, or other business functions.
These providers may receive information as reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf and may have their own privacy policies and data-handling practices.
