1. What this policy covers
This policy describes what I collect through diamondmediations.com, including when you buy or take my continuing legal education course, and what I do with it.
I am Brandon S. Diamond, PhD, doing business as Diamond Mediations, in Hollywood, Florida. You can reach me at brandon@diamondmediations.com about anything in this policy.
This policy covers the website. It does not govern information exchanged in a mediation, which is confidential under the rules applicable to that process and is handled separately.
2. What I collect
When you email me. Your name, email address, and whatever you choose to write. The site itself has no contact form, so messages reach me directly by email.
When you buy the course. Your name and email address, the account you create, and a record of the purchase. I never see or store your card details — payment is handled by Stripe, and your card information goes directly to them.
When you take the course. Which lessons you have completed, your progress through the course, your quiz results, and the certificate issued to you.
Your Bar number or numbers. I ask for these because I need them to report your CLE credit. A Texas Bar number is required for me to submit your attendance to the State Bar of Texas. A Florida Bar number is not required of me, but having it makes it much easier to help you if a credit question arises.
Automatically, as you browse. Standard web information such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit and how long you spend on them. My host keeps server logs, and I use Google Analytics, described in section 6.
When you watch course videos. The videos are hosted by Vimeo and play inside my site. Vimeo receives information about the playback and may set its own cookies.
3. How I use it
I use this information to give you access to what you bought, to record and report your course completion, to answer your messages, to issue receipts and handle refunds, to keep the site working and secure, and to understand in aggregate how the site is used.
I also use your email address to tell you about new courses, updates to this one, and my availability as a mediator. Every such message has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing has no effect on your access to anything you have bought.
4. Who else receives it
I do not sell your information, and I do not share it for anyone else’s advertising. I share it only with the services I need to run this, and with the Bars, as follows.
- Stripe — payment processing. Stripe handles your card details under its own privacy policy.
- GoDaddy — hosting. Server logs and site data sit on their infrastructure.
- Google — Google Analytics for site statistics, and Google Workspace for the email you send me.
- Vimeo — course video hosting and playback.
- Less Annoying CRM — my customer records. Your name, email address and the fact of your purchase are kept there so that I can keep track of who I am working with.
- Constant Contact — my email service. Your name and email address are held there so that I can send you the messages described in section 3.
I may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the security of the site.
5. Continuing legal education reporting
This one is specific to the course and worth stating plainly.
Texas. As the accredited sponsor of this course, I am required to submit attendance information to the State Bar of Texas. If you are a Texas attorney and complete the course, your completion will be reported to the Bar.
Florida. You report your own credit through The Florida Bar Member Portal. I do not submit your information to The Florida Bar.
6. Cookies and analytics
The site uses cookies to keep you logged in, to remember where you are in the course, and to gather anonymous usage statistics through Google Analytics.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the ones that keep you logged in, the course will not work.
Google Analytics collects usage data under Google’s own policies. You can opt out across all sites using Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
7. How long I keep it
Course accounts and completion records — three years after your access ends. That comfortably exceeds any CLE compliance cycle, so I can evidence your completion to a bar if it is ever questioned.
Purchase records — as long as tax and accounting rules require.
Email you send me — three years.
Analytics data — under the retention period set in Google Analytics.
8. Your choices
Whatever state you are in, you can ask me to tell you what information I hold about you, correct it if it is wrong, or delete it. Email me and I will do it.
Two limits worth knowing. I cannot delete a CLE completion record that has already been reported to a Bar, because that record is theirs at that point. And if you ask me to delete your account, you lose access to the course, and that is not a refund.
If I ever send a marketing email, every message will have an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing will not affect your course access.
9. Security
Your account is protected by your password, and the site runs over an encrypted connection. Payment details never reach my systems. No site can promise perfect security, but I take reasonable measures and I will tell you promptly if I learn that your information has been exposed.
10. Children
This site is for practicing attorneys and other legal professionals. It is not directed to children, and I do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
11. Changes
I may update this policy. The current version is always posted here with its effective date, and material changes will be noted at the top.
