Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
This website runs on a WordPress platform.  WordPress does not collect personal data from visitors and only the information show on the log-in screen for registered users.  I only have access to/collect personally identifiable information that you voluntarily give me via email or other direct contact from you via my contact form. I will not sell or rent or share this information to anyone.

I will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted me. I will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order.

If you subscribe to my VIP newsletter, I will contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site WordPress collects the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

This website embeds Facebook Comments plugin to allow you to leave comment at my website using your Facebook account. This plugin may collect your IP address, your web browser User Agent, store and retrieve cookies on your browser, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the commenting interface, including correlating your Facebook account with whatever action you take within the interface (such as “liking” someone’s comment, replying to other comments), if you are logged into Facebook. For more information about how this data may be used, please see Facebook’s data privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update

Automatic Data Collection

Cookies are used to automatically let Google Analytics and Sticky Folios know approximately where a user is located.  Cookies also help them track how many times a particular page is viewed.  I use that information to help create enjoyable content.  This information is anonymous. You may still use the site if you have a Do Not Track request enabled on your browser, but all the website’s functions may not work properly in that case.

We use Pinterest Save widget at our website to allow you to pin images to Pinterest from our webpages. These requests may track your IP address in accordance with their data privacy policy: https://policy.pinterest.com/en/privacy-policy

How long Your Data is Kept

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

Your Access to and Control Over Information
You may unsubscribe any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting me via the email address or phone number given on my website:

  • Ask what data I have about you, if any.
  • Correct any data I have about you.
  • Ask me to delete any data I have about you.  (Except in cases where such information needs to be retained i.e. invoices, legal documents, etc.)
  • Express any concern you have about my use of your data.

Security
I take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

For orders and invoices paid with credit card, I use a credit processing service to provide a secure payment option.  You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.

Those credit card processing services use encryption to protect your sensitive information transmitted online. In addition, I also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which I store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Communication
I request information from you on my contact form. To contact me, you must provide contact information (like name, email address and phone number).  I’ll use this information to reply to you regarding the reason you contacted me.

Cookies
I use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to my site and identify repeat visitors to my site. For instance, you may opt in to cookies when you comment so you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving you time. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. Cookies can also enable me to track and target the interests of my users to enhance the experience on this site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on my site.

Sharing

I use an outside company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for products and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.

Links
This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that I am not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. I encourage our users to be aware when they leave my site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

Embedded content from other websites

 Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Surveys & Contests
Occasionally, my site requests your information via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). This information is used to determine eligibility and to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
According to CalOPPA, I agree to the following:
Users can visit this site anonymously.
Once this privacy policy is created, I will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
My Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found on the page specified above.
You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:
• On my Privacy Policy Page
You can change your personal information:
• By emailing me
How does my site handle Do Not Track signals?
I honor Do Not Track signals and Do Not Track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.
Does this site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
I use Pinterest Save widget at my website to allow you to pin images to Pinterest from my webpages. These requests may track your IP address in accordance with their data privacy policy: https://policy.pinterest.com/en/privacy-policy
COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
I do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices I will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
I will notify you via email
• Within 7 business days
I also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
I collect your email address in order to:
• Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
• Market to my mailing list or continue to communicating with my clients after the original transaction has occurred.
To be in accordance with CANSPAM, I agree to the following:
• Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
• Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
• Include the valid mailing address of my business.
• Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
• Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
• Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email me at contact(at)adriennezwartphotography(dot)com.
• Follow the instructions at the bottom of each email and I will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.

 

If you feel that I am not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact me via telephone at 330-806-4948 or via email using the contact tab above.
