Effective date: August 28, 2026
Dr. Ben Lerner and Velocity Coaching and Consulting ("we," "us," or "our") own and operate this website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit this site or submit one of our forms, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, and information collected automatically as you browse the site.
Information you provide. When you submit our Contact form, Booking form, or sign up for our newsletter, we collect the details you enter — typically your name, email address, phone number, and any message you include.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — this includes your approximate location, browser and device type, pages visited, and how you arrived at the site. This data is aggregated and is not used to personally identify you.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for fair, disclosed purposes related to why you gave it to us, including to:
- Respond to messages sent through our Contact form and answer your questions;
- Schedule and follow up on consultations booked through our Booking page;
- Send newsletter emails and other updates you've signed up for — such as new blog posts, podcast episodes, book releases, events, and announcements from Dr. Ben Lerner;
- Improve our website, content, and communications based on how visitors use the site; and
- Comply with legal obligations where required.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Third-Party Services We Use
Our Contact, Booking, and Newsletter forms are hosted and processed by LeadConnector (a service of HighLevel), which securely stores your submission on our behalf so we can respond to you and send the communications described above. We also use Google Analytics to measure site traffic. These providers may process your information under their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them if you'd like more detail on how they handle data.
Cookies
This site uses cookies and similar technologies — for example, through Google Analytics — to remember your preferences and understand site usage. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; doing so may affect how some parts of the site function.
Data Retention
We retain the information you submit for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, fulfill the purpose you provided it for, or as required by law. You may request that we delete your information at any time using the contact details below.
Your Choices
Every newsletter and marketing email we send includes an unsubscribe link, so you can opt out of future communications at any time. You may also contact us directly to ask what information we have about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted.
Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us, including relying on reputable third-party providers for form processing and data storage. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices. The "Effective date" above indicates when this policy was last updated. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
