EMAIL POLICY
• Emails you can opt out of: We may at times send you emails to keep you updated on what is happening with our business and new online service offerings. If you are receiving these types of emails or other marketing emails, it means that you consented to receive these emails either by clicking an opt-in box or by otherwise letting us know that it was all good for us to use your email address in this way. Of course, you are always free to opt out of these emails by simply clicking “unsubscribe.” We will be sad to see you leave!
• Emails you will not be able to opt out of: You will not be able to opt out of some important emails. For example, we may notify you that updates have been made to this Privacy Policy, or in the unlikely event that our security safeguards have been breached.
EXTERNAL LINKS
Our website may include plugins and/or hyperlinks to other websites not controlled by us, such as book retailers or social media sites. Ranch View Press LLC is not responsible for any consequences for you using those hyperlinks. Ranch View Press LLC is not bound by the privacy policies of any third-party website that you access by a hyperlink. We encourage you to read the Policies of those third-party websites before interacting with them or making purchases. Further, while we always use our best efforts to pick reputable third-party software, platforms, services, and apps to assist with our business we do not control such third parties and are not liable for any breach of privacy or data security that occurs due to the fault of these third parties.
DATA SECURITY
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website. You can help prevent unauthorized access to your personal information by using antivirus software, creating strong passwords, and limiting access to your personal computer. In the unlikely event that your personal information is compromised due to a security breach on our end, we will notify you per the law.
PERSONAL INFORMATION RETENTION AND YOUR RIGHTS
We only keep your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and per our legal obligations. Depending on your residency, under the law (e.g., the California Consumer Privacy Act and General Data Protection Regulation), you may also have the right to request at any time for us to:
• Give you access to any personal information that we have processed;
• Disclose third parties we have shared your personal information with;
• Correct any personal information that may have been incorrectly processed;
• Delete your personal information from our storage systems;
• Transfer your personal information to another service when technically feasible; and
• Stop using your personal information in specific ways by withdrawing the consent you have given us.
Regardless of whether we are obligated under the law or not, if you would like us to do any of the above, you can contact us using the information provided at the end of this Privacy Policy. We will do our best to try to fulfill your requests. However, sometimes we may be required to retain your personal information to comply with our administrative, legal, and/or regulatory obligations. For example, we may be required to keep a history of transactions to report our taxes or may need to retain some personal information for law enforcement purposes (e.g., fraud monitoring, detection, and prevention). Additionally, we reserve the right to de-identify your data by removing identifying details rather than delete it completely.
WHERE YOUR INFORMATION IS PROCESSED AND STORED
We are a business that is formed and operated in the United States. However, in addition to storing personal information directly onto our hard drives, we also may use some third-party cloud storage systems and apps to ensure that your personal information is not lost. These third parties may store and transfer your information outside of the United States. In certain situations, the courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, or security authorities in those countries might be entitled to access your personal information.
PROTECTION OF CHILDREN
Our services are not targeted or intended to be used by people under the age of 18. All children between the ages of 13 and 17 must have permission from their parent or guardian before accessing our services. If you live outside of the United States, your country may apply stricter age limits. In some cases, even if you are older than 13, you may not be legally allowed to access our services regardless of having parental permission. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13 and delete such personal information as soon as we become aware of it.
