DATA RETENTION
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 5 years.
For tax purposes, I need to retain data for the current and prior fiscal years.
For digital downloads accounts, I retain the information on my server indefinitely (unless otherwise stated, or revoked by you) in order to give you continual access to your digital downloads.
TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE OF EU
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
YOUR RIGHTS
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
- Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
- Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
- Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
- Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
RIGHT TO ACCESS REQUESTS
Right to Access requests will be handled in a timely manner. Before a request can be processed, the identity of the requester must be confirmed in order to protect personal privacy.
RIGHT TO ERASURE REQUESTS
Right to Erasure requests will be handled in a timely manner. Only an authorized person can request erasure. As mentioned in Data Retention, by law I am legally requried to maintain certain information for tax reporting purposes. The process to purge your personal data is email based. At your request, I will send an email confirming the erasure request, and once confirmed, will erase your data from the database.
