Welcome to WHIMSIKO's Privacy Policy. This policy outlines how WHIMSIKO ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and safeguards your information when you use our website ("Site") accessible at https://www.whimsiko.com/ and the services ("Service") provided through the Site. By accessing our Site or using our Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, consenting to the collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information as described below.
1. Information Collection
We collect both "Non-Personal Information" and "Personal Information." Non-Personal Information includes data that cannot personally identify you, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic information, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, preferences submitted, and generated preferences based on data provided, as well as the number of clicks. Personal Information encompasses details like your email, address, date of birth, marital status, contact information, etc., which you provide through the registration process on our Site.
Information collected via Technology
When you activate the Service, you only need to submit your email address. Subsequent use of the Service may require additional Personal Information, such as your name and address. To enhance the Service's quality, we track information from your browser or our software application, such as the referring website ("referring URL"), your browser type, device details, access time, and other non-personally identifiable information. We use cookies, small text files with an anonymous unique identifier, to track this information. Cookies are stored on your computer's hard drive, aiding us in understanding your preferences and enhancing our services.
Information you provide by registering for an account
In addition to automatically collected information, to become a Service subscriber, you need to create a personal profile. To register, you provide your email, username, and password. By registering, you authorize us to collect, store, and use your email address following this Privacy Policy.
Children’s Privacy
Our Site and Service are not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from or allow sign-ups by individuals under 13. If we inadvertently collect information from such individuals without parental consent, we will delete it promptly. If you believe we have collected information from a user under 13, please contact us at whimsiko@email.com.
2. How We Use and Share Information
Personal Information
We do not sell, trade, rent, or share Personal Information for marketing without your consent. We may share it with vendors providing services to us, such as email servers for sending communications. These vendors use Personal Information only as directed and outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Personal Information is used to communicate with you, respond to inquiries, gather feedback, provide technical support, and share promotional offers.
We may share Personal Information with outside parties if we believe it's necessary to comply with legal processes, enforce terms of service, address violations, investigate fraud, security, or technical concerns, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of users or the public as required by law.
Non-Personal Information
Non-Personal Information is used to improve the Service and customize user experiences. We aggregate it to track trends and analyze use patterns. This Privacy Policy does not restrict our use or disclosure of Non-Personal Information, and we may share it with partners, advertisers, and third parties as necessary.
In case of business transactions like mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, your Personal Information might be transferred. You consent to such transfers, and any acquiring entity will process your Personal Information as per this Privacy Policy.
3. Cookies
We use “cookies” and other technologies such as cookies, tags, beacons, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and other tools to support various features and services on the Site. A “cookie” is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser and stored on your device. A cookie can be sent to your device only if you access the WHIMSIKO website with the device. If you do not deactivate or erase the cookie, each time you use the same device to access the WHIMSIKO website, our web servers will be notified of your visit to our WHIMSIKO website, and in turn, we may recognize your visit and the pattern of your usage.
You can manage browser cookies through your browser settings. The “Help” feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to get notification from the browser when you receive a new cookie, how to disable cookies, and when cookies will expire. If you disable all cookies in your browser, neither we nor third parties will transfer cookies to your browser.
Note that cookies, tags, and other tools placed by third parties may collect information about you and your visits to the Site and elsewhere on the Internet, including your preferences and browsing habits. If this information can be connected back to you, we consider it Personal Information. Third-party advertisers, including social media platforms, may use such tracking technologies to collect or receive information from the Site and elsewhere and use that information to serve ads that they believe are most likely to be of interest to you and measure the effectiveness of their ads.
4. How We Protect Information
We implement security measures, including encryption, firewalls, and secure socket layer technology, to protect your information. While these measures help safeguard your data, breaches are possible. By using our Service, you understand and agree to assume these risks.
5. Your Rights Regarding the Use of Your Personal Information
You can prevent us from contacting you for marketing at any time. Promotional emails include opt-out instructions. While unsubscribing from marketing emails is possible, we may continue sending administrative emails, like Privacy Policy updates.
