This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from LynnNafey.com. It does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control. These third parties are necessary for the functioning of this website. More information about them can be found in the “Information Sharing & Disclosure” section below.

PERSONAL INFORMATION I COLLECT, WHY I NEED IT, AND HOW I USE IT:

Personal information is collected when you place an order, sign up for my mailing list, or contact me with a question.

In order to fulfill and deliver your order, you must provide certain information such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, phone number, and the details of the item that you are ordering.

Your email is collected so that I can contact you with any questions about your order and also to let you know when your order has been shipped. The information is not used for direct marketing emails unless you expressly give your consent for this purpose.

When subscribing to my newsletters, your email address and first name are required. Last name and physical address are optional. As a subscriber, you will receive periodic emails with information about new work and upcoming events. If you have also given permission to receive direct mail, postcards will be sent to notify you of local exhibitions. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email you receive.

INFORMATION SHARING & DISCLOSURE:

I share your personal information with the following trusted parties who will collect, use, and disclose your information only to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide. I recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers:

  • Indiemade serves as my web host. They are a US-based company with strong privacy rules in place: Indiemade Privacy Policy.
  • Paypal is the payment processor for my web store. Financial information, such as credit card numbers, is not shared with me during the checkout process: PayPal Privacy Policy
  • Mail Chimp is the email marketing service I use for my newsletters (only relevant if you subscribe to my list): Mail Chimp Privacy Policy

HOW LONG INFORMATION IS RETAINED:

I may keep your personal information for up to seven years if required by US tax law. Otherwise, I will retain your data only as long as necessary to provide you with my services, to resolve disputes, or to enforce agreements.

SECURITY OF INFORMATION COLLECTED:

I am committed to processing personal information about my customers in a way that is safe, secure and non-invasive. I take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure your data is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

In the unlikely event of a data security breach, you will be informed by email.

YOUR RIGHTS:

If you are an EU resident, per GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), you have the right to access personal information I hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. I am happy to extend this right to non-EU residents as well. Should you choose to exercise this right, please contact me as described below.

TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE U.S. AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS:

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than those where you reside.

This privacy policy may be updated at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon posting to this website.
