All visitors who interact with this website in any way, including providing data, must be 18 or older, or have consent from a parent or guardian. For any questions/concerns about this policy I can be contacted via my contact form on the about page of this website. https://www.clairejhall.com is hosted by Squarespace. A separate section of this policy will discuss how https://www.squarespace.com collects and processes data. MailerLite (https://www.mailerlite.com/) is used for my newsletter. More details on this can be found in the newsletter section of this policy. Updates on their policies can be found on their websites. I may update this policy when necessary. You should check this page occasionally for changes. I may notify newsletter subscribers of changes that are significant in nature.

I may disclose your personally identifiable information to any member of my team, (e.g. personal assistant) only for reasonably necessary purposes, and on the legal bases, set out in this policy. Squarespace and MailerLite have their own privacy policies regarding this for the information that they collect.

Your Access And Control Over Your Data

Unless you ask me not to, you may be contacted via email in the future to tell you about new products or services, special deals, or changes to this privacy policy. You may opt out of future contacts at any time, or inquire about the data I’ve collected by using the contact form on this website.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
As required by the California Online Privacy Protection Act (“California Act”) and the California Business and Professions Code, this Privacy Policy identifies the categories of personally identifiable information that I collect through my website about individual consumers who use or visit this website and the categories of third-party persons or entities with whom such personally identifiable information may be shared.

Depending on the visitor’s activity at my website, certain “personally identifiable information” (as that term is defined in the California Act) may be collected, in addition to information set forth in other sections of this document. For purposes of the California Act, the term “personally identifiable information” or “your data” means individually identifiable information about an individual consumer collected online by me from an individual and maintained by me in an accessible form, and may include any of the following: (1) a first and last name; (2) a home or other physical address, including street name and name of a city or town; (3) an email address; (4) a telephone number; (5) any other identifier that permits the physical or online contacting of a specific individual; and (6) information concerning a user that the web site collects online from the use, and maintains in personally identifiable form, in combination with an identifier described within this Privacy Policy.

Note: I only collect the personally identifiable information listed at the top of this policy, not everything that is mentioned in the list here.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

California residents may have the right to request information regarding the disclosure of personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, contact me through the form on the About section of this website.

I do not share your personal information with third parties other than as described in this policy or with your consent.

EUROPEAN PRIVACY RIGHTS

The GDPR provides certain rights for EU data subjects. You can access information about you and update or correct it. In some cases, you can also ask me to erase it, restrict or stop processing, if feasible. You may withdraw consent (“opt-out”) if you have previously consented to any particular use of your information, such as receiving emails. For all such requests, contact me through the form on the about page of this website.

Security

The security of your data is important to me. No method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, I cannot guarantee its absolute security. I will remove any data from my possession upon your request.

Legal Usage

I may process any of your personal data identified in this policy where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure. The legal basis for this processing is for my legitimate interests, namely the protection and assertion of my legal rights, your legal rights and the legal rights of others.

I may process any of your personal data identified in this policy where necessary for the purposes of obtaining or maintaining insurance coverage, managing risks, or obtaining professional advice. The legal basis for this processing is for my legitimate interests, namely the proper protection of my business against risks.

I may also process any of your personal data where such processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which I am subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.

I may also disclose your personal data where such disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure.
