At AED-IS, your privacy is important to us! We do not share any personal data about our clients with a third party!

Of course, if we are providing a service, such as Search Engine Optimization (SEO) or Social Media Marketing, where we are working hard to get your business’s message out to the public, then we will share information about your business on your behalf. We will only share what you are comfortable with and if you don’t want us to share your address (typical for work-from-home businesses), then we will make sure that information is hidden.

How we use this information:
We use the information as needed to provide services, such as when we use your information to fulfill your order, provide a workshop, or provide customer support. When you have provided your affirmative consent, you may revoke it at any time, such as by signing up for the e-newsletter. If necessary comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law.

As necessary for my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve our services.

We do not share your information with a third party.

How we share this information:
At the time of this writing, we do not share information with a third party. If my business grows and that were to change, we would update this privacy policy to include when and how that information would be shared.

Data Retention:
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in our Privacy Policy. However, we may also be required to retain this information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce agreements. We generally keep your data indefinitely but will remove it upon your request.

Your rights:
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have several rights concerning your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. We describe these rights below:
• Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information below. Change, restrict, delete.

We will generally delete your personal information upon request.
• Object. You can object to (i) our processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from us after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, we will delete your personal information unless we 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 our 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.

Use of PII by AED-IS
We will use information in connection with the purpose for which you provided it (e.g., to contact you with a response to a request for information, to provide products or services, and/or to contribute to customer surveys). We will communicate with you by email, telephone, or social media, following your wishes.

Generally, we use this information for internal record keeping however, we may also use your PII to send you information on products, services, and special offers and promotions in which you might have an interest. From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes. The means by which we will use to contact you with this information will depend on the type of PII you have provided. For example, if you provide us with your email address, you may receive periodic promotional emails from us.

If you do not wish to receive special offers and other promotional information from us, you may opt out of receiving such communications, as discussed below.

Sharing Your PII
As a general rule, we will not disclose any of your PII to third parties without your permission or as described below.

We may disclose any collected information, including PII, if: (1) the disclosure is necessary or useful to our provision of services; (2) we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, interests, or property; (3) we are acting in good faith to protect your safety or the safety of others, to investigate fraud, or to respond to a government request; (4) we believe in good faith the disclosure is required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, search warrant, court order, or similar legal or administrative process; and (5) a third party purchases or otherwise acquires us or the Site, in which case your information will likely be among the assets transferred.

The Site may offer opportunities to request additional information from our sponsors or partners. By requesting more information, you give us permission to transfer your PII to the sponsor or partner so they can fulfill your request. In many instances, only your e-mail address will be shared. In certain situations, your PII will also be visible to other Users of the Site.

We do not rent or sell email addresses to third parties, or otherwise share any non-anonymized personally-identifying information we collect, with any third parties (other than our affiliated entities) except as set forth above.

If we do share PII with an entity working on our behalf, we will employ commercially appropriate procedures to help ensure that the disclosed PII is used only for authorized purposes by authorized persons and that safeguards are in place to help maintain the security, integrity, and privacy of the PII.

California Privacy Rights
Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents who provide PII in obtaining products or services for personal, family, or household use are entitled to request and obtain from us, once per calendar year, information about the Customer PII we shared, if any, with other businesses for their own direct marketing uses. If applicable, this information would include the categories of Customer PII and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared Customer PII for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g. requests made in 2019 will receive information regarding 2018 sharing activities). To obtain this information from us, please contact us at the email address listed above and write “Request for California Privacy PII” for the subject of your message. We will send you a reply email within 30 days containing the requested information once we confirm your request. Not all information sharing is covered by the “Shine the Light” requirements and only that information which is covered will be included in our response.

International Transfers
Your information, including PII, 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 than those from your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note we transfer your information, including PII, to the United States and process it there. Your submission of information to us represents your consent to that transfer.

If we have collected PII from you, we will notify you about the changes prior to making use of your PII in new ways and will provide you with a reasonable opportunity to opt out of the new procedures before they are implemented. We will also honor opt out requests made following implementation of the new procedures, as discussed above.
