Your provision of your personal information to us is completely  voluntary. “Personal information” is information that can specifically  identify you. We do not collect personal information unless you submit  that information to us. Categories of personal information we may  collect include:

• Identity Data, which includes name or other similar identifiers.
• Contact Data, which includes address, email address and telephone numbers.

Additionally, we may also collect certain others types of information  that, along with Identity Data and Contact Data, may be considered and  specifically named “personal data” in certain jurisdictions, including  the European Union (“EU”), such as:

• Financial Data, which includes credit card, debit card or other payment card details.
• Transaction Data, which includes details about payments to and from you.
• Technical Data, which includes internet protocol (IP) address, location data, your login data, and device and browser information.

• Usage Data, which includes information about how you use our Website and advertising we serve on those sites.

IF YOU ARE SITUATED IN THE EU, PLEASE SEE THE SECTION “ADDITIONAL EU  DISCLOSURES” THAT PERTAIN TO OUR COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR  PERSONAL DATA AND ADDITIONAL RIGHTS YOU HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

Direct interactions: You may give us your information by registering or contacting us. This includes information you provide when you:

• create an account on our website;
• subscribe to our service or publications;
• purchase product(s) on our website(s)
• request marketing to be sent to you; or
• give us feedback.

Automated technologies or interactions: As you interact with  our website, we may automatically collect Technical Data and Usage Data  about you. Some of the ways in which we or our website may collect are  further described below:

• Cookies and other technologies: The website may use  cookies, a type of technology that installs a small amount of  information on a website user’s computer or other device to permit a  website to, for example, recognize future visits using that computer or  device. The website may use other similar technologies (including,  without limitation, tracking pixels, as described further below, and  other anonymous identifiers) to gather information about you, such as IP  addresses and location data, to customize your visit, to enable us to  enhance our service, or for other purposes. We use the following  cookies: (i) Strictly necessary / technical cookies that are requires  for the operation of our website, including log-in, shopping cart and  e-billing. (ii) Analytical / performance cookies to see how users  interact with our website so that we may improve functionality. (iii)  Functional cookies to recognize you when you return and to personalize  content. (iv) Targeting / advertising cookies to tailor advertising to  you based on how you interact with our website.
• Interest-Based Advertising: We may engage  third-party vendors to use your information in connection with their own  information to deliver targeted advertising to you when you visit our  website or other websites. Cookies, described above, may be used in this  process. For example, if you are searching for information on a  particular product, our vendor may cause an advertisement to appear on  other websites you view with information on that product. This form of  advertising is called “behavioral advertising”. We believe that such  advertising is helpful because you will see ads that are relevant to  your interests. However, if you would like to opt-out of these  interest-based advertisements, please see the Opt-Out section below.
• Clickstream Data: As you use the Internet, a trail  of electronic information is left at each website you visit. This  information, sometimes referred to as “clickstream data,” can be  collected and stored by a website’s server. For example, clickstream  data can tell the type of computer and browsing software you use and the  address of the website from which you linked to the website. The  website may collect and use clickstream data as a form of aggregate  information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on  each page of our website, how visitors navigate throughout the Website  and how we may tailor our website to better meet the needs of visitors.  This information often will be used to improve our website and our  services. Any collection or use of clickstream data will be anonymous  and aggregated and will not intentionally contain any personal  information.

Subject to the section titled “Additional EU Disclosures”, we use  information held about you to perform our services and for other  purposes outlined below. Specifically, we use your information for a  variety of purposes:

• Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
• To perform specific services that you have requested.
  To respond to your direct inquiries.
• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a  third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override  those interests.
• To send you marketing materials (see below)
• Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Subject to the section titled “Additional EU Disclosures”, we may  share the information we collect about you with certain third parties in  the following ways:

• To use certain services on our website, payment card information may  be requested. We may ask you for credit card, debit card, or other  payment information. By submitting your payment information through our  websites, to the extent permitted by applicable law, you expressly  consent to the sharing of your information with third-party payment  processors, and other third-party service providers.
• Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge  parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to  acquire other businesses or merge with them, if we are part of a  bankruptcy proceeding or other change in control.
• Third parties to whom we need to share your information to  investigate suspected fraud, harassment or other violations of any law,  rule or regulation, or the policies for the website.

This website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and  applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may  allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not  control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their  privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read  the privacy policy of every website you visit.

The Website may integrate with social networking services. You  understand that we do not control such services and are not liable for  the manner in which they operate. While we may provide you with the  ability to use such services in connection with our Website, we are  doing so merely as an accommodation and, like you, are relying upon  those third-party services to operate properly and fairly.

You should be aware that information which you voluntarily include  and transmit online in a publicly accessible blog, social network or  otherwise online may be viewed and used by others. We are unable to  control such uses of your information, and by using such services you  assume the risk that the information provided by you may be viewed and  used by third parties.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent  information about you from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in  an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed; however, due to the inherent  open nature of the Internet, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of  any information provided online. We have put in place procedures to  deal with any suspected data breach that will affect you and will notify  you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally  required to do so.

We will only retain your information for as long as necessary to  fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of  satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To  determine the appropriate retention period for your information, we  consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the  potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your  information, the purposes for which we process your information and  whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the  applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Request erasure below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymize information about you (so that  it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical  purposes in which case we may use and retain this information  indefinitely without further notice to you.

www.marciachorney.com generally acts as the data controller of your information submitted through our website.

If you are situated in the EU and have any complaints regarding our  privacy practices as data controller, you have the right to make a  complaint at any time to your local Supervisory Authority. We would,  however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you  approach your Supervisory Authority so please contact us in the first  instance. Please see our contact details in the section titled  “Contact Us”. If you are situated in the EU and have a complaint, please  contact us  at mcmoreinfo@protonmail.com

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a  contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when  requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are  trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with our  services). In this case, we will not be able to provide services to you.

Below are the types of lawful basis that we will rely on to process your personal data:

• Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in  conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best  service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we  consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and  negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our  legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities  where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have  your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can  obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests  against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by  contacting us at mcmoreinfo@protonmail.com
• Performance of Contract means processing your data where it  is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party  or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
• Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation means  processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a  legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we  collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for  another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.  If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new  purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us at  mcmoreinfo@protonmail.com  If we need to use your personal data for an  unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal  basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your  personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the  above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

We also collect personal data about you from various third parties and public sources.

• If you register for our services using Facebook, Twitter or other  social media sites, we will import your information from those social  media sites.
• As discussed above, we also obtain information through automated technologies (see section titled “Information Collection”)

If we are relying on your consent to process your personal data, you  have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You have the right  to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at mcmoreinfo@protonmail.com. 

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising:

• Promotional offers from us: We may use your personal data to form a  view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest  to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be  relevant for you (we call this marketing). You will receive marketing  communications from us if you have requested information from us or used  our services and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving  that marketing.

To see how you can opt out of marketing communications, please see  the section titled “Opt-Out” found at the bottom of all of our email  communications.

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection  laws in relation to your personal data. you have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data  subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the  personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully  processing it.
• Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This  enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you  corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data  you provide to us.
• Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to  delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us  continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or  remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your  right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed  your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your  personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not  always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal  reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of  your request.
• Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a  legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something  about your particular situation which makes you want to object to  processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental  rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are  processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some  cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to  process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
• Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This  enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in  the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s  accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want  us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no  longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal  claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to  verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third  party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your  personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.  Note that this right only applies to automated information which you  initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the  information to perform a contract with you.
• Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to  process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness  of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you  withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or  services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you  withdraw your consent.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to  exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable  fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.  Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these  circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us  confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data  (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure  to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no  right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further  information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.  Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is  particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this  case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

To exercise your rights, please contact us at mcmoreinfo@protonmail.com. 

To opt-out of any future promotional messages from us, you should send an unsubscribe request to us at  mcmoreinfo@protonmail.com.
