Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), Emma Santa’s legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data I collect and the specific context in which I collect it. I may process your Personal Data because of the following reasons:

  • To perform a contract with you
  • You have given me permission to do so
  • The processing is in our legitimate interests and is not overridden by your rights
  • For payment processing purposes
  • To comply with the law
How I Protect Your Data

If you have created an account on the Service, security measures such as two factor authentication are enabled to help protect your data. When available, data transactions are encrypted and sent securely (such as through a third party payment vendor.) The security of your data is important to me but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, I cannot guarantee its absolute security. 

Who I Share Your Data With

Disclosure due to Legal Requirements – Under certain circumstances, EmmaSanta.com may be required to disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency). This may be to comply with a legal obligation, to protect and defend the rights or property of Emma Santa, to prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service, to protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public, and to protect against legal liability.

How Long I Retain Your Data

I will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. I will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with legal obligations (for example, if I am required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce legal agreements and policies. I will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of the Service, or I am legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods. Personal Data collected from contact forms is kept for two years, analytics records for five years, and purchase records for ten years.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

Our Policy on “Do Not Track” Signals under the California Online Protection Act (CalOPPA) I do not provide support for Do Not Track (“DNT”). Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked.  You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser. 

Your Data Protection Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights. I aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete or limit the use of your Personal Data. If you wish to be informed about what Personal Data I hold about you and/or you want it to be removed from our systems, please contact me. In certain circumstances, you have the following data protection rights: 

  • The right to access, update or delete the information we have on you. Whenever made possible, you can access, update or request deletion of your Personal Data directly within your account settings section. If you are unable to perform these actions yourself, please contact me directly so that I may assist you. 
  • The right of rectification. You have the right to have your information rectified if that information is inaccurate or incomplete.                        
  • The right to object. You have the right to object to our processing of your Personal Data. 
  • The right of restriction. You have the right to request that I restrict the processing of your personal information.

Please note that I may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests. You have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about my collection and use of your Personal Data. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority in the European Economic Area (EEA). 

Where I Send Your Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to – and maintained on – computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to the United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer. 

Emma Santa will take all the steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information. 

Payments I may provide paid products and/or services within the Service. In that case, I use third-party services for payment processing (e.g. payment processors). I will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to third-party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.                            

The payment processors I work with are:
