If JF WebDesign is involved in a sale, merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, transfer of assets, or similar business transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
9. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
JF WebDesign does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.
Some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” more broadly than an ordinary monetary sale. For example, certain advertising or cross-site tracking technologies may be considered a sale or sharing under California law even when no money is exchanged.
If our use of a third-party technology constitutes a sale or sharing under an applicable privacy law, we will provide the notices and choices required by that law.
10. California Privacy Rights
California residents may have privacy rights under California law depending on the law applicable to JF WebDesign and the information involved.
These rights may include the right to:
- Request information about personal information collected about you
- Request access to personal information maintained about you
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Request deletion of certain personal information
- Request information regarding the purposes for which information is collected and used
- Request information regarding categories of third parties to whom information has been disclosed
- Opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information, where applicable
- Limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information, where applicable
- Exercise applicable privacy rights without unlawful discrimination
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) applies only to businesses meeting specified requirements. As of the current statutory threshold, this includes, among other alternatives, businesses with annual gross revenue of at least $26.625 million, businesses that buy, sell, or share personal information of 100,000 or more California residents or households, or businesses deriving at least 50% of annual revenue from selling or sharing California residents’ personal information. California Privacy Protection Agency
Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to represent that JF WebDesign is subject to the CCPA if the applicable statutory requirements are not met.
Privacy Requests
You may contact us regarding personal information associated with you at:
Please use “Privacy Request” as the subject line and provide enough information for us to identify the information involved and understand your request.
We may request additional information when reasonably necessary to verify your identity and protect information against unauthorized access, modification, or deletion.
Certain information may be exempt from access, correction, or deletion requirements under applicable law.
11. California Do Not Track Disclosure
Some web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting that communicates a user’s preference regarding online tracking.
There is no universally accepted standard governing how websites should respond to traditional DNT signals. Accordingly, our Website may not respond to traditional DNT browser signals.
Third-party services used by our Website, including analytics providers, may collect information about your activities over time and across different websites or online services, depending on the services and technologies enabled.
California’s CalOPPA specifically requires applicable websites engaging in this type of tracking to disclose their response to DNT or similar mechanisms and whether other parties may conduct tracking through the website. California DOJ
Where required by applicable law, we will honor legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals.
12. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as necessary for legitimate business and legal purposes.
Retention periods may depend on the type of information and may include the time necessary to:
- Respond to inquiries
- Provide services
- Maintain client and project records
- Maintain accounting and transaction records
- Fulfill contractual obligations
- Resolve disputes
- Enforce agreements
- Protect against fraud and security incidents
- Meet tax, accounting, legal, and regulatory requirements
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.
13. Information Security
JF WebDesign uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, destruction, or misuse.
Our Website uses HTTPS/SSL encryption to protect information transmitted between your browser and the Website. We also use website security measures intended to help prevent unauthorized access and malicious activity.
However, no Internet transmission, website, server, electronic storage system, or security system is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by us.
14. Email Communications
If you contact us or submit a form, we may use your contact information to respond to you and communicate regarding your inquiry, project, account, or services.
We may send existing or prospective clients marketing or business communications where permitted by law.
You may request that we stop sending marketing communications at any time. This does not prevent us from sending transactional, administrative, security, billing, project-related, or other communications necessary to provide services or manage our relationship with you.
15. Third-Party Websites
Our Website may contain links to websites and services operated by third parties.
JF WebDesign does not control the privacy, security, or data collection practices of those third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to JF WebDesign and does not govern information collected independently by third-party websites.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website or service before providing personal information.
16. Social Media
Our Website may contain links to or features associated with social media platforms and other third-party services.
When you interact with those services, the applicable third party may collect information about you according to its own privacy policy.
JF WebDesign does not control how those third parties collect, use, or disclose information.
17. Children’s Privacy
The JF WebDesign Website and our services are intended for businesses and individuals seeking professional web design and related services. They are not directed toward children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through our Website, please contact us at info@jfwebdesign.com.
18. Information We Process for Our Clients
JF WebDesign provides website design, development, hosting, maintenance, and related digital services to clients.
In providing these services, we may have access to or process information collected by websites belonging to our clients.
When JF WebDesign processes personal information solely on behalf of a client, the client generally determines why and how that information is collected and used. In those circumstances, the client’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of personal information, and JF WebDesign acts as a service provider, contractor, or processor as applicable.
If you have a privacy question concerning information you submitted through one of our clients’ websites, you should generally contact that organization directly.
19. International Visitors
JF WebDesign is located in California, United States.
If you access our Website from outside the United States, information may be transferred to, processed, or stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.
Privacy and data protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from the laws where you reside.
Where required by applicable law, appropriate protections will be used for international transfers of personal information.
