EMBEDDED CONTENT

Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, court order, legal process, governmental request, or other legal obligation.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, security incidents, misuse of the Website, violations of applicable terms, or threats to the rights, safety, or property of Eileen’s Epic or others. If Eileen’s Epic is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or transfer of all or part of the business, information collected through the Website may be transferred as part of that transaction. Information may also be disclosed for another purpose when you have given permission for the disclosure. Aggregated or deidentified information that does not reasonably identify an individual may be shared for research, analytics, advertising, sponsorship, or business purposes.

SALE OR SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Eileen’s Epic does not sell personal information in exchange for money. However, certain privacy laws define the terms “sale” or “sharing” broadly enough to include some uses of analytics, advertising, affiliate, or tracking technologies.

Depending on the technologies used on the Website and the privacy laws that apply, disclosures of online identifiers, cookie information, or browsing activity to advertising or analytics providers may be considered a sale, sharing, or use of personal information for targeted advertising.

Where required by applicable law, visitors may be able to opt out through the Website’s cookie or privacy settings, a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link, a “Your Privacy Choices” link, a recognized browser-based opt-out preference signal, or a request submitted to contact@eileenivette.com. Eileen’s Epic does not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 years old.

U.S. STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights regarding their personal information, depending on the applicable law and whether that law applies to Eileen’s Epic.

These rights may include the right to confirm whether personal information is being processed, request access to personal information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, receive a portable copy of certain information, opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, opt out of targeted advertising, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, appeal the denial of a privacy request, and receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising a privacy right.

Your request should describe the right you wish to exercise and provide enough information to identify the relevant records. Eileen’s Epic may need to verify your identity before completing a request. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf where permitted by law. Documentation may be required to confirm that the agent is authorized to act for you. Certain information may be exempt from privacy requests, including information that must be retained for legal, security, fraud-prevention, tax, accounting, or recordkeeping purposes.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and related California privacy laws, to the extent those laws apply to Eileen’s Epic.

These rights may include the right to know what categories of personal information have been collected, used, disclosed, sold, or shared; the right to request access to specific personal information; the right to request correction of inaccurate information; the right to request deletion; the right to receive certain information in a portable format; the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information; the right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising a privacy right.

During the preceding 12 months, the Website may have collected identifiers such as names, email addresses, Internet Protocol addresses, and cookie identifiers. The Website may also have collected browsing and electronic-activity information, approximate location information derived from an Internet Protocol address, affiliate or commercial information, professional information voluntarily submitted through business inquiries, inferences regarding content interests, and information voluntarily submitted through forms or direct communications.

This information may be collected directly from you, automatically through your browser or device, or through service providers and business partners. The purposes for collecting and disclosing this information are described throughout this Privacy Policy. California privacy requests may be submitted to contact@eileenivette.com.

GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL

Certain internet browsers and browser extensions support Global Privacy Control or similar preference signals that communicate a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Where required by applicable law, the Website will treat a recognized opt-out preference signal as a request to opt out for the browser or device through which the signal was sent.

DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

Some internet browsers include a “Do Not Track” setting that allows users to communicate a preference regarding online tracking. Because there is not currently a universally accepted standard for responding to all Do Not Track signals, the Website may not respond to those signals. This does not affect any obligation to recognize other browser-based privacy signals where required by applicable law.

RIGHTS OF INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction with similar data-protection laws, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information.

Depending on the applicable law, these rights may include the right to access personal information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, restrict certain processing, object to certain processing, receive certain information in a portable format, withdraw consent, and file a complaint with an applicable data-protection authority. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

To submit an international privacy request, contact contact@eileenivette.com.

Eileen’s Epic may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION

Where applicable data-protection laws require a legal basis, personal information may be processed based on your consent, Eileen’s Epic’s legitimate interests, contractual necessity, compliance with a legal obligation, or the protection of legal rights and safety. Consent may be used as the legal basis for activities such as sending newsletters or placing nonessential cookies. Legitimate interests may include operating, improving, securing, analyzing, and promoting the Website, responding to inquiries, measuring content performance, and developing the Eileen’s Epic business.

DATA RETENTION

Personal information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Newsletter information may be retained while you remain subscribed. Limited information may be retained after you unsubscribe to document and honor your request. Contact-form submissions, direct communications, and business correspondence may be retained as needed to respond to inquiries, maintain business records, resolve disputes, or protect legal interests.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, it may be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of.

DATA SECURITY

Eileen’s Epic uses reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical measures designed to protect personal information collected through the Website. However, no internet transmission, website, database, storage system, or electronic communication method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
