PRIVACY POLICY

This website is operated by SanversUnited. This privacy policy ("Policy") explains how information is collected, used and disclosed by us with respect to your use of our website. This Policy also applies to information collected on other websites on our behalf by third-party vendors. We reserve the right to change this Policy at any time. We encourage you to review this Policy from time to time to make sure that you understand how any personal information you provide will be used.

Information Collection and Use

We collect personal information when you voluntarily provide us with information for responding to inquiries, including name, mail, or electronic contact. Personal and demographic information may also be collected if you leave comments on the site or in connection with your participation in surveys, social media, contests, games, promotions, and other activities on the site. As used herein, the term "personal information" means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name or e-mail address) and information about that individual or his or her activities that is directly linked to personal information. We use personal information collected through our site for the purposes described in this Policy or elsewhere on the site, to respond to your requests, or to monitor the overall effectiveness of the site. Information is kept as long as the service for which it was submitted is active. Information may be retained afterward as a record of the service.

Where information is submitted through our “Her Story Is Our Story” (“HSIOS”) page, you expressly consent to the collection of this information and public display of the relevant information. Information provided through the HSIOS page may be formatted to better display on the site.

SanversUnited does not use personal information provided for marketing purposes.

When you use the site, some information is automatically recorded, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring website, and your activity on our site. If you access the site from a mobile device, we may also collect information about the type of mobile device you use, the type of mobile Internet browsers you use, and information about the location of your device. This information may be used to analyze trends, to identify system performance or to create summary statistics. We treat this information as personal information if we combine it with or link it to any of the personal information mentioned above. Personal information does not include "aggregate" information, which is data we collect about the use of the site or about a group or category of services or users, from which individual identities or other personal information has been removed.

We may also collect certain information through the use of "cookies" or web beacons. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive at the request of a website. Among other things, cookies help us improve our site and your experience. Information obtained from cookies and linked to personally identifying information is treated as personal information. Anonymous identifiers are random strings of characters that are used for the same purposes as a cookie on platforms, including certain mobile devices, where cookie technology is not available. Web beacons are small, invisible graphic images that may be used on the site or in emails relating to the site to collect certain information about usage and effectiveness and monitor user activity on the site.

If you wish to block, erase, or be warned of cookies, please refer to your browser manufacturer’s information to learn about these functions.

We use web analytics technology, including specifically Squarespace Analytics, to help us analyze traffic to the site in order to understand visitors’ interests and to continually update our site to improve a user’s experience.

Collection and Use by Third-Party Vendors

Third-party vendors, such as Google, may use cookies or other technologies to serve ads or deliver content on other websites based on your visits to our site and other sites on the Internet and to provide analytics services. These third parties may automatically collect information about your visits to this and other websites, your IP address, your ISP, the browser you use to visit our site, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. They do this using cookies, clear gifs or other technologies.

Information automatically collected by third parties may be used by third parties, among other things, to analyze and track data, to solicit donations, to deliver advertising or content on other websites based on your prior activities on this or other sites or targeted to your interests, and to better understand the usage and visitation of our site and the other sites tracked by these third parties. To manage settings for the Google advertising cookies and to opt-out of certain features, visit their Ad Settings.

This Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, cookies or clear gifs used by the third parties, and we encourage you to check the privacy policies of advertisers and/or ad services to learn about their use of cookies and other technology. If you would like to opt out of these cookies or obtain more information about this practice, visit the relevant third-party policy site.

Information Sharing and Transfer

SanversUnited does not sell or share information for commercial solicitation or political purposes. SanversUnited does not currently have any affiliates.

SanversUnited may also retain, preserve, or release personal information to a third party in the following limited circumstances: in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet legitimate national security or law enforcement requirements; to protect, establish, or exercise SanversUnited’s legal rights or defend against legal claims, including to collect a debt; to comply with a subpoena, court order, legal process, or other legal requirement; or when SanversUnited believes in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the law, prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or threats to SanversUnited property. In these cases, our use of your information may be necessary for the purposes of our or a third party’s legitimate interest in keeping the services secure, preventing harm or crime, enforcing or defending legal rights, or preventing damage. Such use may also be necessary to comply with a legal obligation, a court order, or to exercise or defend legal claims. It may also be necessary in the public interest (such as to prevent crime) or to protect vital interests (in rare cases where we may need to share information to prevent loss of life or personal injury).

SanversUnited is based in the U.S. As such, we and our service providers may transfer your information to, or store or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as your home jurisdiction. We will take steps to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it.

Personal Information Rights

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), when we process your personal data we will only do so in the following situations:

We need to use your personal data to perform our responsibilities under our contract with you (e.g., providing the services you have requested).

We have a legitimate interest in processing your personal data. For example, we may process your personal data to send you marketing communications, to communicate with you about changes to our Services, to address issues related to your store or account, and to provide, secure, and improve our Services.

Depending on location, you may have certain additional rights regarding personal information such as:

Data access and portability (including the right to obtain a copy of the personal data provided to SanversUnited, via the contact page);

Data correction (including the ability to update personal data, via the contact page);

Data deletion (including the right to have personal information deleted, except for information we are required to retain, by contacting SanversUnited); and

Withdrawal of consent or objection to processing (including, in limited circumstances, the right to ask us to cease processing your personal information, with some exceptions, by contacting SanversUnited).

Deleting personal information

Your right to delete personal data is subject to applicable legal requirements. To remove personally identifiable information that has been collected about you, contact us via the contact page. We will make a sincere effort respond to your request in a timely manner. Deletion of data may result in loss of services which are dependent on that information. We will also retain your personal data when it is needed to comply with legal obligations, disputes, or agreements.

Security

SanversUnited will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard personal data taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons. No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, however. While we strive to protect personal information as best as possible, the absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
