We encourage Users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect.

This privacy policy applies only to information collected through this Website and not to any information collected from us or through us through other platforms. Please note that, when you link to other websites from this Website, this privacy policy does not apply to, and cannot control the activities on, those other sites. Please check those websites for their own privacy policies.

 

To use our Website or services, we may seek personal data or information including your name, e-mail address, billing information, or other personally identifying information (“Personal Information”). When you provided such Personal Information to us, you granted us permission to use and store such information as described in this Privacy Policy. We will use our best efforts to keep your Personal Information safe, secure and confidential in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, which may be found on our Website. If you believe that any of your Personal Information is incorrect or incomplete, please contact us as soon as possible. We will promptly correct any Personal Information found to be incorrect.

 

Users may visit our Site anonymously, however, that may prevent them from engaging in certain Site related activities.

 

1. What data is collected?

Personal Information.

Personal Information may include, without limitation: your first and last name, your billing address, email address, and credit card information. If you have set up an account that is password protected in order to use any feature on the Website, or for any other purpose for which a password is needed, that password is also part of your Personal Information. It may be possible to use portions of this Website without providing any Personal Information, but it may be necessary to provide Personal Information to utilize all features of this Website.

 

Demographic Information.

For some activities, your mobile web browser or client software may transmit certain geographic information or information regarding your mobile device to Us. We may use that information to generate aggregate statistics about our user community and may provide that information to advertisers and other parties with whom we have a business relationship. In addition, We may use any such information for security, system integrity (the prevention of hacking, cheating and other improper or unlawful activities), or enforcement purposes.

 

When you visit this Website, we may, at our option, automatically collect and store the following types of non-personally identifiable information received from you: (i) information from server logs found on your browser; (ii) click-through statistics; (iii) Website traffic and behavioral usage (iv) your country; (v) the type of web browser you are using to access this Website; (vi) the type of operating system you are using; (vii) the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet; (viii) the date and time you access this Website and the duration of your visit; (ix) the Internet address of the site from which you linked directly to this Website; (x) browsing history; (xi) mobile page views; and (x) the type of handset device and mobile operating system you are using (e.g. Android, iPhone, etc.).  We only use this data in aggregate form, for statistical purposes, and not in a manner that would give us sufficient information to identify you personally. Automatically collected information of that kind typically provides us with a greater understanding regarding the use of this Website, including what types of content, offers and products our visitors are interested in, where they are generally located and what are their general browsing behavioral patterns. That information also allows us to determine if this Website is working properly, make changes to the Website that allows users to have better experiences on the Website, and improve the Website, our offers and promotional content so that they are more relevant to our visitors. We collect that information and track it for statistical purposes; we do not use it to identify or to market to a particular user.

 

This information may be shared with advertisers, fulfillment partners and other third parties on an aggregated basis, but it does not include the Personal Information of individual users.  We may also identify and track your Internet protocol (“IP”) address. An IP address is the unique number assigned to your server or internet service provider (“ISP”). We may track those IP addresses for system administration purposes, to report aggregate information, site tracking, security purposes, or to prevent our data and servers from being damaged.  Your network service provider normally assigns a dynamic IP address to your every time you use your mobile browser. While we do not associate IP addresses with records containing Personal Information, we will use IP addresses to identify any user who engages in misconduct or otherwise violates any applicable laws. Additionally, we may be required to disclose IP addresses pursuant to a court order or subpoena.

However, no Internet, mobile or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, e-mail or SMS messages sent, or any other information or data sent to or from this Website, may not be secure.

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

 

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

• The categories of personal information we collected about you.

• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.

• The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.

• The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

 

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

 

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.

2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.

3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.

5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).

6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.

7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.

8. Comply with a legal obligation.

9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

 

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by email at kristen@wisemarketingstrategy.com

 

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

 

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.

• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

 

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.  Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

 

Response Timing and Format

We make every effort to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt.  If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.  We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt.  The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity.

 

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

 

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Deny you use of our Services.

• Provide you a different level or quality of Services.
