Privacy Policy

---

Cody TheCreative respects your privacy and aims to protect the personal information we collect and use as part of our business. Our policy with respect to the information that we collect, use and disclose through this Website  (the "Site" or “Website”) is set forth below.

Please note that this Privacy Policy is limited only to the information that we collect through this Website. This Privacy Policy DOES NOT apply to our off-line practices or policies, or electronic communications to us other than through this Site (such as direct email).

The information we collect

We use the personal information you provide us, including your name, email address to send occasional informational emails or to respond to an inquiry you might initiate.

We may also automatically collect other, non-personally identifiable, information each time you visit this Site, including, without limitation:

• Technical information, including the Internet protocol address used to connect your computer to the Internet, browser type and version and device type and version.
• Usage data and information about your visit, including the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL), clicks to, through and from this Site (including date and time), page response times, download errors, and length of visits to certain pages.
• Information from cookies and similar technologies (see Cookie Policy below).
• General location information to identify where our audience views the Site from.

Some of the information described above can be collected by us only if you enable them on your hardware or software. For example, it is your option (and under your control) to accept or delete cookies, to enable location information, and to control the information that your browser transmits.

Our purposes for processing your personal data

At this time, the only way we use your personal data is to communicate with you either in response to an inquiry or through our newsletter, which is strictly “opt-in” (meaning you must give us your information to be on it).

How we collect your personal data

We collect your data directly from you when you:

• fill out a newsletter subscription form,
• enquiry form,
• when you email us directly

How we use your personal data

We primarily use your personal data to send you our email newsletter if you subscribe to it and to, on occasion, respond to an enquiry that you might initiate.

We may also share information 

• with our data processors and partners, for example, GoDaddy (our Website partner), Mailchimp (the email transmission service for our newsletter); Microsoft Outlook (our business email provider) all of which are required to enable the Website’s smooth operation as well as our business functions.
• with lawful third parties or authorities for the purpose of preventing fraud and spam activity or if personal information is requested as part of a lawful investigation.

We do not share your personal data with any other third party and do not sell information for advertising or promotional purposes.

Retaining your personal data

We will retain your data for as long as we are obliged, under relevant legislation and regulation, or where no such rules apply, for no longer than it is necessary for our lawful purposes, and until you notify us to delete your data.

Your individual privacy rights

You have the right to object to how we process your personal data. You also have the right to see what personal data we hold about you. You can ask us to correct inaccuracies, delete or restrict personal data or ask for some of your personal data to be provided to someone else. These rights are explained in more detail below.

Requests to exercise your rights to your personal data can be made using the inquiry form on our contact page.

If you are an EU Citizen, you have these rights:

• To be informed: You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your data and your rights. We fulfill this right by giving you this notice.
• Access to your personal data: You can request access to a copy of your personal data.
• Right to withdraw and opt-out: You may unsubscribe from our mailing list by clicking here
• Right to object: You may object to our processing of your personal data by us.
• Rectification: You can ask us to change or complete any inaccurate or incomplete personal data held about you.
• Erasure: This is also known as “the right to be forgotten” and this means that you can ask us to delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for us to use it, you have withdrawn consent (where applicable), or where we have no lawful basis for keeping it or otherwise using it. There are limited exceptions, for example where we need to use the information to bring or defend a legal claim.
• Portability: You can ask us to provide you or a third party with some of the personal data that we hold about you in a structured, commonly used, electronic form, so it can be easily transferred. This is limited to personal data you have provided with your consent or in relation to the products you have with us, and which we process by automated means, such as your account transaction data.
• Restriction: 
• You can ask us to restrict the personal data we use about you where: it is inaccurate; you have asked for it to be erased; you have objected to our use of it; or where you need this for the bringing or defending of legal claims.
• When you have asked us to restrict the use of your personal data we may still store your information but will not use it further without your consent, unless we need to process it: to bring or defend legal claims; to protect the rights and freedoms of other individuals; or for other important public interest reasons.

Please note that though not all privacy laws are as strict as the EU GDPR, we will generally extend these concepts of privacy and transparency to all users since we feel that privacy is important.

Please also note that the only private data we control and process is the information you’ve given us, which is typically your name and email address – or a note if you’ve sent us an inquiry. We do not store or track any other personal data.
