• Individually identifiable information, meaning anything from which you can be identified or could be identified with reasonable effort (“Personal Information”). The Personal Information collected through these Services may include information requested from time to time, such as names, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses and more. If personal information is combined with non-personal information, I treat it as personal information for as long as it is combined.

Below are the main methods I use to collect data:

 

• Data is collected when using these services. So when you visit my digital assets and use services, usage, sessions and related information may be collected, recorded and stored.

• It collects information you provide to me when you log into our Services through a third party such as Facebook or Google.

Where is the data stored?

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

 

Please note that sarahmueller.design and our trusted partners and service providers are based around the world. For the purposes explained in this Privacy Policy, we store and process all non-personal data that we collect in different jurisdictions.

​

Personal Data

​

Personal information may be maintained, processed and stored in the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel and other jurisdictions to the extent required for the proper provision of our Services and/or by law (as further explained below).

​

How long is the data retained?

Please note that I will retain the information I collect for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with our legal and contractual obligations to you, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

I can correct, supplement or delete incorrect or incomplete data at any time at my own discretion.

​

How is the data protected?

The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform through which we can offer our services to you. Your data may be stored through our hosting provider's data storage, databases and general applications. It stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall, and it offers secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.

​

Notwithstanding the measures and efforts taken by me and our hosting provider, I cannot and do not guarantee the absolute privacy or security of any information you upload, post or otherwise transmit to me or others.

For this reason, I would like to ask you to set secure passwords and, if possible, not to transmit to me or others confidential information, the disclosure of which you believe could cause serious or lasting harm to you . Also, since email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, I request that you do not share any confidential information through any of these communication channels.

​

I will only use your personal data for the purposes set out in the privacy policy and only if I am satisfied that:

 

• the use of your personal information is necessary to perform or enter into a contract (e.g. to provide you with the Services themselves or to provide customer or technical support);

• the use of your personal data is necessary to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation, or

• the use of your personal information is necessary to support our legitimate business interests (provided that we do so at all times in a way that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights).

 

As an EU resident you can:

 

• request confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed and request access to your stored personal data and certain additional information;

• request to receive personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;

• request rectification of your personal data held by us;

• request the erasure of your personal data;

• object to our processing of your personal data;

• request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, or

• lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

 

However, please note that these rights are not absolute and may be subject to my own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements. If you have general questions about the personal information I collect and how I use it, please contact me as indicated below.

In the course of providing the Services, I may transfer data across borders to affiliated companies or other third parties and from your country/jurisdiction to other countries/jurisdictions around the world. By using the Services, you consent to the transfer of your information outside of the EEA.

 

If you are a resident of the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA where we are satisfied that an adequate or comparable level of protection of personal data is in place. I will take appropriate steps to ensure that I have appropriate contractual arrangements in place with our third parties to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to minimize the risk of unlawful use, alteration, destruction, loss or theft of your personal information and that such third parties will act in accordance with applicable laws at all times.

California Consumer Protection Law Rights

 

If you are using the Services as a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") to request access to and deletion of your information.

 

To exercise your right to access and delete your data, please see how to contact me below.

​

I do not sell users' personally identifiable information for the intent and purposes of the CCPA.

​

Updates or changes to the Privacy Policy
