Data Collection. What Data Do I Collect and Why?

We collect a minimum amount of data to do the few things our business requires from you. We collect this data through the use of our contact forms, which we use to build client profiles for future marketing communication or to setup sessions. Some personal data may be collected from your web browser and provided directly to Google Analytics for the purposes of interpreting our website's needs. This data is passed directly to the required third parties and is not housed on our servers beyond your IP address when accessing our site, the time you viewed it, and the region you are viewing from.

Data Collection Summary

Personal Data. Personally identifiable information, such as your name, shipping address, email address, and telephone number, and demographic information, such as your age, gender, hometown, and interests, that you voluntarily give to me if you submit it through my contact or design forms or choose to participate in various activities related to the Site. You are under no obligation to provide me with personal information of any kind; however, your refusal to do so may prevent you from using certain features of the Site and my Service.

Cookies. I may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Site to help customize the Site and improve your experience. When you access the Site, your personal information is not collected through the use of tracking technology. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the Site. You may not decline web beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or by modifying your web browser’s settings to notify you each time a cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.

Internet-Based Advertising. Additionally, I may use third-party software to serve ads on the Site [and our mobile application], implement email marketing campaigns, and manage other interactive marketing initiatives.  This third-party software may use cookies or similar tracking technology to help manage and optimize your online experience with us.  For more information about opting out of interest-based ads, visit the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Tool or Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Tool.

Derivative Data. As previously stated, our web server collects data pertaining to your access to our website, such as your IP address, access time, and your region. This data is cycled off of our server in 90-day increments. This same information, in addition to your operating system, and your access path to our website is passed to Google Analytics, and the data being passed can be controlled by your browser. Google’s Privacy Policy can be viewed here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Website Analytics. I may also partner with selected third-party vendors,  Adobe Analytics, Cloudflare, Crazy Egg, Google Analytics, and others, to allow tracking technologies and remarketing services on the Site through the use of first-party cookies and third-party cookies, to, among other things, analyze and track users’ use of the Site, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity. By accessing the Site, you consent to the collection and use of your information by these third-party vendors. You are encouraged to review their privacy policy and contact them directly for responses to your questions. I do not transfer personal information to these third-party vendors. However, if you do not want any information to be collected and used by tracking technologies, you can visit the third-party vendor or the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Tool or Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Tool.

You should be aware that getting a new computer, installing a new browser, upgrading an existing browser, or erasing or otherwise altering your browser’s cookies files may also clear certain opt-out cookies, plug-ins, or settings.

Third-Party Websites. The Site may contain links to third-party websites and applications of interest, including advertisements and external services, which are not affiliated with me. Once you have used these links to leave the Site, any information you provide to these third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy, and I cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of your information. Before visiting and providing any information to any third-party websites, you should inform yourself of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website and should take the steps necessary to, at your discretion, protect the privacy of your information. I am not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other sites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from the Site [or our mobile application].

Financial Data. This website does not collect financial data. We use a third-party invoice company for purposes of electronic payment. We also occasionally use Zelle and Venmo for the purposes of prearranged situations. Zelle’s Privacy policy can be found here: https://www.zellepay.com/legal/privacy-policy. Venmo’s Privacy Policy can be found here: https://venmo.com/legal/us-privacy-policy/. And our current invoicing company, Square, can be found here: Privacy and Security | Square Support Center – US (squareup.com)

Mobile Data. Your mobile data carrier may collect information pertaining to your time on our website. You can find your provider’s privacy policies pertaining to this data on their respective websites. This information usually includes geolocation, data rates, and bandwidth use. We do not instruct your device to create any push notifications

3rd Party Data. We may use 3rd party tools outside of those listed previously that collect data. Our website is built on WordPress, and while we don’t use any of their tools for the collection of data, Automattic may collect data that we are unaware of.  One instance that we do know of, is that WordPress integrates with the Gravatar service so that you can comment on multiple WordPress websites with one third-party profile. Automattic’s Privacy Policy can be located here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Embedded Content. We occasionally use embedded content from other websites, these embeddings may collect data. Currently, the embedded content we may use will come from Instagram (https://about.instagram.com/safety) or YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/howyoutubeworks/user-settings/privacy).

How Long Do We Retain Your Data?

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so that I can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on my website (if any), I also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

How Do We Use Your Data?

  • Administer sweepstakes, promotions, and contests.
  • Assist law enforcement and respond to subpoenas.

Terms Of Disclosure For Your Information

I may share the information I have collected about you in certain situations. Your information may be disclosed as follows:

By Law or to Protect Rights: If I believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, I may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation. This includes exchanging information for fraud protection and credit risk reduction with other entities.

Third-Party Service Providers: I may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf, including payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing assistance.

Marketing Communications: With your consent, or with an opportunity for you to withdraw consent, I may share your information with third parties for marketing purposes, as permitted by law. Online Postings: When you post comments, contributions, or other content to the Site [or our mobile applications], your posts may be viewed by all users and may be publicly distributed outside the Site [and our mobile application] in perpetuity.

Third-Party Advertisers: I may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site [or our mobile application]. These companies may use information about your visits to the Site [and my mobile application] and other websites that are contained in web cookies in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Affiliates: I may share your information with our affiliates, in which case I will require those affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy. Affiliates include my parent company and any subsidiaries, joint venture partners, or other companies that I control or that are under common control with me. Business Partners: I may share your information with my business partners to offer you certain products, services, or promotions.

Other Third Parties: I may share your information with advertisers and investors for the purpose of conducting general business analysis. I may also share your information with such third parties for marketing purposes, as the law permits.

Sale or Bankruptcy: If I reorganize or sell all or a portion of our assets, undergo a merger, or am acquired by another entity, I may transfer your information to the successor entity. If I go out of business or enter bankruptcy, your information would be an asset transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that the transferee may decline to honor commitments I made in this Privacy Policy. I am not responsible for the actions of third parties with whom you share personal or sensitive data, and I have no authority to manage or control third-party solicitations. If you no longer wish to receive correspondence, emails, or other communications from third parties, you are responsible for contacting the third party directly.

What Rights Do You Have Over Your Data?

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

How Do We Secure Your Information?

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal information.

What Is Our Policy For Data Collection Of Children?

We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 13. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under the age of 13, please contact us using the contact information provided below.

What Are My Policies For Controls Of Do-Not-Track Features?

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, I do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that I must follow in the future, I will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

What 3rd Parties Do I Receive Data From?

I do not buy leads or contact information from any vendors. I do, however, access and analyze analytic data collected by Google Analytics, and whatever your browser is willing to share with me. To restrict the information your browser gives me, you can check your privacy settings and choose a level that is comfortable for you.

California Privacy Rights Statement

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year.
