By visiting KellyRamsdell.com, you are consenting to our PRIVACY POLICY.
The following Privacy Policy governs the online information collection practices of Kelly Ramsdell: Art & Words (“we” or “us”). Specifically, it outlines the types of information that we gather about you while you are using the website for Kelly Ramsdell: Art & Words (the “Site”), and the ways in which we use this information. This Privacy Policy, including our children‘s privacy statement, does not apply to any information you may provide to us or that we may collect offline and/or through other means (for example, at a live event, via telephone, or through the mail).
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using the Site, you agree that your use of our Site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy. Because the Web is an evolving medium, we may need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, in which case we’ll post the changes to this Privacy Policy on this website and update the Effective Date of the policy to reflect the date of the changes. By continuing to use the Site after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified.
HOW WE COLLECT AND USE INFORMATION
We may collect and store personal or other information that you voluntarily supply to us online while using the Site (e.g., while on the Site or in responding via email to a feature provided on the Site). Kelly Ramsdell: Art & Words only contacts individuals who specifically request that we do so or because they have signed up to receive our free newsletters or have purchased one of our products. We collect a limited amount of personally identifying information from our users during online registration and online purchasing. Generally, this information includes name and e-mail address for registration to receive our free newsletters and name and postal address when purchasing our products. All of this information is provided to us by you. We do not store credit card information, which passes through PayPal or SquareSpace and is not retained by us.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
We collect information from you when you subscribe to the newsletter or blog or enter information on our website. Our opt-in subscription forms collect personally identifiable information that includes, but is not limited to, your email address and your first and last name.
In compliance with the European Union's General Data Protection Act (GDPR), we use the “consent lawful basis” when sending newsletters to email subscribers. We collect a narrow range of data about our subscribers, as detailed in the paragraph above.
Subscriptions are handled through an EMS (email marketing service) provider. An EMS is a third party service provider of software and/or applications that allows websites, blogs, and marketers to send out email notices or marketing campaigns to a specific list of users.
Under the GDPR your rights are as follows:
- the right to be informed;
- the right of access;
- the right to rectification;
- the right to erasure;
- the right to restrict processing;
- the right to data portability;
- the right to object; and
- the right not to be subject to automated decision-making including profiling.
You can read more about your rights in detail at the Information Commissioner's Office website, www.ico.org.uk. You also have the right to complain to the ICO if you feel there is a problem with the way we are handling your data.
If we send email marketing messages, they may contain tracking beacons, tracked clickable links, and/or similar server technologies that monitor subscriber activity related to those messages. When distributed, those marketing messages may also record a range of data (e.g., times, dates, IP addresses, opens, clicks, forwards, and geographic and demographic data). Such data, within its limitations, will disclose activity for each subscriber, specific to that email campaign.
Any email marketing messages we send will strictly conform to GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Collections Regulations that accompany and interpret it. We provide you with an easy method to withdraw your consent (unsubscribe) or manage your preferences and/or the information we hold about you at any time. Marketing messages and newsletters from Kelly Ramsdell: Art & Words have always included and will continue to include instructions on how to unsubscribe or manage your preferences.
Our EMS provider is MailChimp, which holds the following information about you within its EMS system:
- Email address
- First name
- Last name
- Subscription time & date
- Geolocation
Your Personal Data is used only to send you the email newsletters you have subscribed to. You may unsubscribe from these communications by following the unsubscribe link provided in every email or by contacting us at kelly@kellyramsdell.com.
We also collect and store information that is generated automatically as you navigate online through the Site. For example, we may collect information about your computer‘s connection to the Internet, which allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the Site. We also may use a standard feature found in browser software called a “cookie” to enhance your experience with the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us to identify unique users, how and when they visit us, and allow us to track user trends and patterns.
We use the information we collect from you while you are using the Site to customize certain features. We also may provide your information to third parties, such as service providers and contractors, for a variety of purposes. Unless you inform us in accordance with the process described below, we reserve the right to use, and to disclose to third parties all of the information collected from and about you while you are using the Site if necessary to fulfill a particular order or due to a law enforcement request. We do not sell your information to any third parties or provide to any third parties who wish to contact you for marketing purposes.
The Site may from time to time include links to other websites and provides access to organizations, products, or services offered by third parties. We do not control the privacy policies of any third parties to which we link. Please be aware that when you access another website or purchase products or services from third parties which you accessed from a link on the Site, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting or the provider of such products or services.
As noted earlier, please be aware that we may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of the Site or the public.
DATA COLLECTION & RETENTION PERIOD
Under the GDPR, we control and/or process any personal information about you electronically using consent as the lawful basis–meaning you have given us permission to do so. We will continue to process your information under this basis until you withdraw consent or it is determined your consent no longer exists.
If, as determined by us, the lawful basis upon which we process your personal information changes, we will notify you about the change and any new lawful basis to be used, if required. We shall stop processing your personal information if the lawful basis used is no longer relevant or appropriate.
