Protecting your private information is our priority.  This privacy notice (“Privacy Notice”) applies to  Emily Lingeman, and her affiliates, successors and assigns (hereinafter, variously “Emily Lingeman”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), and our website and/or use of any mobile versions, content, products, services and any sites Emily Lingeman has now and/or in the future (collectively, the “Services”), and outlines our principles for collecting, using and protecting information that we maintain about any person whose personal data is being collected, held or processed by us including without limitation customers and/or site visitors (hereinafter the “Individual(s)” or “you”).   

By using the Services in any manner, you indicate to Emily Lingeman that you have read and accept our Privacy Notice and consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Notice.  If you do not accept this Privacy Notice or do not meet or comply with the provisions set forth herein, then you may not use the Services. If required by applicable law, we will seek your express consent to process personal data (i) provided by you and/or (ii) collected during your use of the Services.  Any consent shall be entirely voluntary.  In the event you do not provide consent to use or process your personal data, then you may not access and/or use the Services.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you use the Services, you may provide Emily Lingeman with two main types of information: (1) personally identifiable information that you knowingly choose to disclose, which is collected on an individual basis, and (2) general user information that does not contain personally identifiable information, which is collected on an aggregate basis as you browse and use the Services. We collect information from you when you (a) use and/or access the Services, (b) open and/or respond to our emails, (c) contact Emily Lingeman, (d) visit any page online that displays our content, (d) schedule services and make purchases through the Services, and/or (e) provide information to any of our customers, partners, and/or other users.

Personally Identifiable Information You Choose to Provide

We may ask for certain personal information from you for the purpose of providing to you content and/or services that you request.  We collect personal information such as your: (i) personal and/or business contact information (including name, telephone number, email and address, and business website address); (ii) financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date, verification number, and billing address); and/or (iii) preferences and behavior (such as record of comments, responses and questions asked).  Once you register, you have opted in to receive electronic communications from Emily Lingeman.  Emily Lingeman may also provide you with the opportunity to participate in surveys through the Services.  If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information.  Participation in surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether to disclose such information. We will collect and process your contact data as provided in the surveys.

Information We Collect Automatically

Cookies:  In an effort to be transparent with our data collection practice and the technologies we use to provide the Services, the following explains how we use Cookies. We use Cookies and web log files to improve the website experience and quality of the Services, and to customize your experience, by tracking website usage and trends, conducting research and development for additional services, and determining marketing efforts.  A “Cookie” is a tiny data file that resides on your computer, mobile phone, or other device, and allows Emily Lingeman to recognize you as a user when you return to our website using the same device and web browser and enables Emily Lingeman to collect information about how you use our Services.  Information gathered through Cookies may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, and time spent at using the Service.  If you do not agree to our use of Cookies, you should set your browser settings accordingly or not use the Services. Emily Lingeman uses Cookies and web log files for the following, which may include without limitation (i) to track usage and trends, (ii) to improve the quality of the Services, (iii) to customize your experience and/or (iv) to compile anonymous, aggregated information that allow us to understand how our Services are used.  Cookies are categorized by how long they are stored and their function.  The Cookies Emily Lingeman uses are as follows:

  • Persistent Cookies: Persistent Cookies remain on a visitor’s device for a set period of time specified in the Cookie. They are activated each time that the visitor visits the Services that created that particular Cookie.
  • Session Cookies: Session Cookies are temporary and deleted from your computer when you close your web browser. They allow Emily Lingeman to link the actions of a user while using the Services.
  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Strictly necessary Cookies are essential to navigate around the Services and to use its features.
  • Performance Cookies: Performance Cookies collect anonymous data for statistical purposes on how users use the Services, they don’t contain personal information and are used to improve the user experience.
  • Functionality Cookies: Functionality Cookies allow Emily Lingeman to operate the Services in accordance with your choices, such as ‘remembering’ you in between visits.

You may remove or block Cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to use the Services and/or impact your user experience while using the Services.  By accessing or using the Services, you consent to the placement of Cookies on your device as described in this Privacy Notice.  If you prefer not to receive Cookies through the Services, you may control how your browser responds to Cookies by adjusting the privacy and security settings of your web browser. 

Aggregate:  We may collect non-identifying and statistical information about the use of our Services, such as how many visitors visit a specific page, how long they stay on that page and which links, if any, they click on, system configuration information, and/or other interactions with the Services.  This information represents a generic overview of our users, including their collective habits. Information collected in the aggregate is not associated with you as an individual.

Analytics:  We use analytic software to gather statistics and usage trends for product and service improvement purposes.  The Service may record data from your phone, tablet, or computer such as how frequently you use the Service, what actions you take and performance data.

Pixels:  We use “visitor action pixels” from Facebook Inc (“Facebook”) on our Services. This allows user behavior to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which is why we are informing you. Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s privacy policy. You can object to the collection of your data by Facebook pixel, or to the use of your data for the purpose of displaying Facebook ads by contacting Facebook. 

Other Tracking Technologies: We may supplement information you provide to us with information from other sources, such as information to validate and/or update your address, payment card and/or other demographic information.  This information is used to maintain the accuracy of information on our Services and for internal analysis. We may also use clear gifs, pixel tags and web beacons, which are tiny graphic images placed on website pages and/or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed specific actions and are further used to track online movements of our users.  In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages.  We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to your personally identifiable information. 

Third Party Services:  To support the services we provide to you, we may use services hosted by third parties, including without limitation, ‘PayPal’ and ‘Stripe’.  These services may collect information sent by a browser as part of a web page request, including ‘Internet Protocol’ addresses, browser software, and/or clickstream patterns. We may link the information we record using tracking technology to personal information we collect.  In addition, we may allow third parties to use Cookies in connection with your use of the Services.  They may collect and store the same type of information and use it similarly to Emily Lingeman, as described above.
