European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation is a European Union law that was implemented May 25, 2018, and requires organizations to safeguard personal data and uphold the privacy rights of anyone in EU territory. The regulation includes seven principles of data protection that must be implemented and eight privacy rights that must be facilitated. It also empowers member state-level data protection authorities to enforce the GDPR with sanctions and fines. The GDPR replaced the 1995 Data Protection Directive, which created a country-by-country patchwork of data protection laws. The GDPR, passed by the European Parliament, unifies the EU under a single data protection regime. You can find more information here.
According to the GDPR, we agree to the following in respect to users within the European Union:
Users have the right to request copies of their personal data from Rex Parker Design. We may charge you a small fee for this service.
Users have the right to request that Rex Parker Design correct any information that they believe is inaccurate. They also have the right to request that we complete information they believe is incomplete.
Users have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
Users have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
Users have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain circumstances.
Users have the right to request that Rex Parker Design transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to themselves, under certain conditions.
If you would like to make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. You can find more information here.
According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can visit this site anonymously
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on the home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering this website.
You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes on the Privacy Policy page of this website and by an announcement on the front of the site.
You can change your personal information with us by contacting us here.
U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
U.S. Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs)
The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Fair Information Practices Principles (FIPPs) form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify you via email within 7 business days
We will notify the users via in-site notification within 7 business days
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
U.S. Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM Act)
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
We collect your email address in order to:
Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.
Answer messages that are submitted via this website’s contact form.
To be in accordance with the CAN-SPAM Act, we agree to the following:
Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
Include the physical address of this business or site headquarters.
Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.
If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can contact us or follow the instructions at the bottom of each email and we will promptly remove you from all correspondence.
Updates and Changes
We’ll update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, our business operations or any other reason we determine is necessary or appropriate.
