1. Introduction
Ovation is a professional speaker development and training firm helping individuals and professionals master the art of human interaction.

This privacy policy explains how Ovation processes information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify an individual (“Personal Data”) collected through use of its website and tools and platforms.
For the purposes of this policy, Ovation defines the term “System User” as an entity with which Ovation has an established relationship and the term “Visitor” as an individual that visits our front-end website (for example www.getovation.com).
Any information stored on Ovation’s platform is treated as confidential. All information is stored securely and is accessed by authorized personnel only. Ovation implements and maintains appropriate technical, security, and organizational measures to protect Personal Data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and use, and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, theft, or disclosure.
