PRIVACY POLICY
Please know that I am committed to protecting the privacy of the users of my site, ericarich.com. In order to operate this website (the “Site”), I collect certain information. This Privacy Policy describes the type of information I collect, what I do with it, with whom I share it, and how you can correct or change such information.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through the Site and via phone or email based on the contact information on the Site, but not to information collected or obtained from other sources. See “Links to Other Sites” below.
The types of information the Site collects about you:
Personal Information: Personally Identifiable Information (“Personal Information”) is any information that can be used to identify a specific individual. The only Personal Information that I collect is whatever Personal Information is included in communications to me through the Contact feature of the Site or emails sent to me.
Aggregate and Anonymous Data: Aggregate and anonymous data is information collected automatically through the operation of the Site, as well as certain information about website usage which is aggregated and used in a manner that does not identify you personally (collectively, “Non-Identifying Data”). The Site may collect usage data (such as which pages of the Site you visit and in what sequence) through the use of various technologies. For example, I may collect IP addresses from individuals who access the Site. The Site does not link IP addresses to any Personal Information, so although your session may be logged, you will remain anonymous to me. During some visits, the Site may use software tools, such as Javascript and/or Google Analytics, to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, time spent on certain pages, page interaction information, and methods used to browse away from the page. These analytics features do not collect Personal Information.
Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies: Like many providers of Internet services, I may use “cookies” or other similar technologies to collect Non-Identifying Data. Cookies allow the Site to measure traffic activity throughout the Site and to improve your user experience. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your web browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent, but it is possible that some parts of the Site will not function properly if you do so. In addition, I may use a service that collects data remotely by using so-called “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs” or similar means (collectively, “Pixel Tags”) embedded in website content. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1×1), that is ordinarily not visible to site visitors and may be associated with cookies on the visitors’ hard drives. This information is Non-Identifying Data.
Use of The Information Collected From You:
Personal Information: I will use your Personal Information to respond to inquiries from you, to inform you about my activities, or to protect against or identify possible fraudulent transactions.
Non-Identifying Data: I may also use Personal Information in aggregate form for purposes of research or analysis. I may share this type of Non-Identifying Data with a variety of third parties, including my affiliates, agents, research partners and current and prospective business partners. I may use Non-Identifying Data collected from the Site for administration, advertising and promotional purposes, and I may share such information with various affiliated and unaffiliated entities for such purposes.
Sharing Your Personal Information: Except as stated in this Privacy Policy, I do not disclose your Personal Information to third parties without first informing you and obtaining your consent to having your Personal Information shared.
I may disclose your Personal Information to third parties without informing you in connection with the following:
Business-related Functions: Like many businesses, I may hire other companies to perform certain services on my behalf such as hosting specific portions of the Site or maintaining databases. When I employ a third party to perform these functions, that third party will be provided only with the particular Personal Information it needs to perform its function.
Other Disclosures: In addition, I may disclose Personal Information without providing you with the ability to opt out under the following limited circumstances:
to protect my legal rights, privacy;
to protect the safety and security of other users of the Site;
to protect against fraud or other illegal activity or for risk management purposes;
to respond to inquiries or requests from public authorities;
to permit me to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that I may sustain;
to enforce the Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy; or
to comply with the law or legal process.
Links to Other Sites: The Site may also contain links to other sites that may not follow the same privacy policy as this Site. These sites may send their own cookies to you and may collect data and make use of that data in ways that I would not. Once you’ve left the Site, this Privacy Policy will no longer apply to Personal Information or any other data collected from or provided by you on another site. You should check the applicable privacy policy to determine how that site will handle such data.
Your Choices and Individual Rights: If you would like to access Personal Information I may have about you or to make changes to that information, please contact me by using the Contact feature of the Site or by emailing me at itsericarich@gmail.com.
If you have previously provided Personal Information to me and are receiving emails or other communications from me and you do not want to continue receiving such emails, please notify me by using the Contact feature of the Site or by emailing me at itsericarich@gmail.com. I will take reasonable steps to honor that request on a prospective basis.
If you reside in a member state of the European Economic Area, you may have the right under applicable law to exercise certain privacy rights. Among these rights are the right of access, the right of rectification, the right not to consent or to withdraw previously-provided consent, the right of erasure, the right to object to processing, and the right to restrict processing.
If you believe that the Site holds Personal Information about you, and you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact me by using the Contact feature of the Site or by emailing me at itsericarich@gmail.com.
My Commitment to Data Security: I take reasonable security precautions to secure the Personal Information that you choose to provide against the loss, misuse, alteration or unauthorized access of such information. Unfortunately, no transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties, not under our control, to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While I strive to protect your Personal Information, I cannot ensure or warrant the security of any Personal Information you transmit to me. Any such transmission is done at your own risk. If you believe that your interaction with the Site is no longer secure, please notify me of the problem by contacting me by using the Contact feature of the Site or by emailing me at itsericarich@gmail.com.
If I learn of a security systems breach, then I may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. I may post a notice on the Site if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.
Contacting Me Regarding Your Privacy: If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy please contact me by using the Contact feature of the Site or by emailing me at itsericarich@gmail.com.
