PRIVACY POLICY
Last modified 4/28/2024
PLEASE REVIEW THIS POLICY CAREFULLY
The following describes how Northern Roots Photography (“Northern Roots Photography LLC,” “I,” “me” or “my”) uses and disseminates information you provide through www.northernrootsphotography.com and its sub-domains and affiliated sites, as well as Northern Roots Photography LLC pages and accounts on Facebook®,
Google Plus®, Instagram® and YouTube® (the “Sites). If you ever have questions about this Privacy
Policy, please contact me at the information below. Please also review my full Terms and Conditions
of Use, which also govern your use of the Sites. By using this Site, you are consenting to this
Privacy Policy.
COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.
Unless I expressly note otherwise, I do not collect personally-identifiable information from users of
my Sites. When you visit my Sites, some information about your computer hardware and software is
inherently automatically collected, such as your IP address, domain name, browser type, access
time and referring website addresses. I do not use this information for any purpose, but an
example of when I may use this information is in implementing improvements and analyzing the
Sites and for troubleshooting purposes. I also utilize this information to monitor and improve services
and to ensure that your use of the Sites is in compliance with my Terms of Use. Most of our services
do not require any form of registration, allowing you to visit the Sites without telling us who you are.
However, some services, such as email opt-ins may require you to provide us with Personal Data. In
such a case, you may choose to without any Personal Data requested by us, but it may not be
possible for you to gain access to certain parts of the site or content. We require only the
information that is reasonably required to enter into a contract with you. We will not require you to
provide consent for any unnecessary processing as a condition of entering into a contract with us.
INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY LAWS AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE GDPR
If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that you are sending
information to the United States where my servers are located. Information you submit may then be
transferred within the United States or back out of the United States to other countries outside of
your country of residence, depending on the type of information and how it is stored by me. These
countries (including the United States) may not necessarily have data protection laws as
comprehensive protective as your country of residence; however, my collection, storage, and use of
your data will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy.
If you are a member of the European Union (EU), you have special rights under the GDPR. Those
include: You have the right to object to the processing of your data and the right to portability of your
data. All complaints must be sent to northernroots@yahoo.com. You also have the right to erasure,
rectification, access, or to seek restrictions to the processing of your personal data in our system. To
the extent you provide consent to our processing of your personal data, you have the right to
withdraw that consent at any time. Any withdrawal of consent does not apply to data collected
lawfully prior to such consent. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
containing jurisdiction over GDPR related issues.
COOKIES: WHAT THEY ARE, AND WHY THEY ARE NEEDED.
A cookie is a data text file sent from a website to your browser, for the purpose of identifying the user
and allows access to portions of the website, thus alleviating the need to continually log in with your
username and password. Cookies may be stored within your system. To the extent I use cookies, I
can only access information from a cookie sent by one of the Sites, not other websites. I may use
cookies to personalize your visit to my Sites, because tracking usage allows me to best determine
the needs of my customers and advertisers.
MY POLICY WITH MINORS.
My Sites are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you may only use
the Sites under the supervision of a parent or guardian. I do not collect or maintain information from
anyone known to be under the age of 18, and no part of this website is designed to attract anyone
under the age of 18. I do not sell products or services intended for purchase by children. If I discover
or are otherwise notified that I have received any such information from a child in violation of this
policy, I will delete that information.
DATA RETENTION
I only retain Personal Data collected from Users for as long as the User’s account is active or
otherwise for a limited period of time as long as I need it to fulfill the purposes for which I have
initially collected it, unless otherwise required by law. I will retain and use information as necessary
to comply with my legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce my agreements for a period of 7
years.
USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.
If you do choose to provide your personal information, I will not willingly share your information with
companies outside my organization, except as described in this Privacy Policy. You may at times
receive communications from me related to products and services that I believe might interest you.
While I believe these services may enhance your time spent at the Sites, you will at all times have
the option and ability to opt out from receiving these communications by specifically choosing to do
so via a link which will be provided within emails that I send to you. I may disclose total aggregated
user statistics in order to describe my services to potential advertisers, other third parties, affiliate
companies, and for other lawful purposes.
The information I gather from you may be used in several ways, either now or in the future, to gain a
better understanding of my Sites’ users and their usage pattern as a whole, for site administration
and troubleshooting, to process transactions, contest entries and other matters you initiate, to
identify preferences in content and advertising, to target editorial, advertising or other content (such
as promotions, special offers or other content) I think might be of interest to you. I may also use
information I gather from you to communicate changes and improvements to my website or any
registration you have made.
You have the right to request access to the information we have for you. You can do this by
contacting us at northernroots@yahoo.com. We will make sure to provide you with a copy of the
data we process about you In order to comply with your request, we may ask you to verify your
identity. We will fulfill your request by sending your copy electronically, unless the request specifies a
different method. If you believe that the information we have about it is incorrect, or if you wish to
remove your private information (such as an email address provided in an opt-in), you may contact
us at northernroots@yahoo.com. Any data that is no longer needed for the purposes specified
herein will be deleted.
I do not give away, sell, rent or lease any users’ personally identifiable information to any merchant,
advertiser or web publisher. However, non-personally identifiable user information (such as usage
pattern, browser type and your computer) may be shared with third party businesses or advertisers
with which I have a business or contractual relationship. I reserve the right to disclose personal
information when needed to comply with the law or a legal process, cooperate with investigations of
purported unlawful activities, to identify persons violating the law, in connection with the sale of part
or all of Northern Roots Photography LLC or its affiliates assets, or to enforce my Terms of Use.
Please keep in mind that if you disclose personally identifiable information in a public manner
through the Sites, this information may be collected and used by others accessing those portions of
the Sites. I do not monitor information you disclose on the Sites nor do I accept any liability
associated with your voluntary disclosure of the same.
You are responsible for reviewing the privacy statements and policies of other websites you choose
to link to or from the Sites, so that you may understand how those sites collect, use and store your
information. I am not responsible for the privacy statements, policies or content of any other
websites. Websites containing co-branding (referencing my name and a third party’s name) contain
content delivered by the third party and not me.
LIMITATIONS.
By using the Sites you agree that I am not responsible for: (1) any disclosure of your personal
information made by you to a third party through your use of the Sites; (2) any disclosure of your
personal information obtained illegally from me; or (3) any accidental disclosure of your personal
information made by me.
POLICY CHANGES.
I may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any modifications will be effective immediately
when I post them. I will take steps to notify users of any modifications, however, you are responsible
for reviewing any and all modified terms. When I update my Policy, I will note the date of revisions at the top
of the Policy. Your continued use of a Site following any changes means you accept and agree to
any changes. For your convenience and future reference, the date of the Privacy Policy is included
so that you can compare any different versions of the Privacy Policy to determine any changes
made to the Privacy Policy.
