Please also review our Terms of Service, which contain provisions that limit our liability to you and require you to resolve any dispute with us on an individual basis and not as part of any class or representative action.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY OF THE SERVICES.

The Effective Date of this Privacy Policy is set forth at the top of this Policy. Whenever possible, we will provide you with advance written notice of our changes to this Privacy Policy.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

“Personal Information” means information associated with or used to identify or contact a specific person. Personal Information includes: (1) contact data (such as name and e-mail address; (2) demographic data (such as location or country of residence); (3) payment data such as card number and related information such as expiration date and any required codes; (4) certain Usage Data (defined below) such as IP address and (5) User-generated content.

“Usage Information” or “Usage Data” is information about an individual’s online activity that, by itself, does not identify the individual, such as browser type, operating system, searches conducted, and webpages visited.

Generally, we do not consider Usage Data as Personal Information because Usage Data by itself usually does not identify an individual. Personal Information and Usage Data may be linked together. Different types of Usage Information also may be linked together and, once linked, may identify an individual person. Also, some Usage Data may be Personal Information under applicable law.

SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

Certain Personal Information (e.g., social security numbers, financial information, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, information about personal health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background, or trade union membership) is characterized as sensitive and subject to stricter regulation than other Personal Information.

We ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive Personal Information on or through the Services or otherwise to us, unless explicitly requested. If we do explicitly request such sensitive Personal Information, before providing it to us we urge you to carefully consider whether to disclose your sensitive Personal Information to us. If you do provide sensitive Personal Information to us, you consent to its use and disclosure for the purposes and in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.

TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA AND INTERNATIONAL USERS

We will not transfer Personal Data (defined below) relating to individuals within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to third parties (i.e., those outside of TRUTHSHEPARD’s group of affiliates and service providers) located outside of the EEA without ensuring adequate protection under the applicable European law. Where a third party is located in a country not recognized by the European Commission as ensuring an adequate level of protection, we (or our affiliates or service providers) will take appropriate steps, such as implementing standard contractual clauses recognized by the European Commission, to safeguard your Personal Data.

WHEN YOU PROVIDE PERSONAL INFORMATION TO US THROUGH THE SERVICES, YOU CONSENT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

DATA PROTECTION PRIVACY UNDER THE EUROPEAN UNION’S GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and other privacy laws protect Personal Data (defined below) collected from citizens of European Union Member States. The GDPR is a comprehensive data protection law that strengthened the protection of Personal Data in light of rapid technological developments, the increasingly global nature of business, and more complex international flows of Personal Data. The GDPR replaces a patchwork of national data protection laws with a single set of rules, directly enforceable in each European Union Member State.

If the GDPR applies to you, then you may request information about:

The general purpose of the Personal Data processing;
The categories of Personal Data concerned;
Who else outside TRUTHSHEPARD may have received Personal Data from TRUTHSHEPARD;
What the source of the Personal Data was (if you did not provide it directly to TRUTHSHEPARD;
How long the Personal Data will be stored.
TRUTHSHEPARD collects and stores certain Personal Data through our Services for the reasons set forth above, under the section titled, “How We Use Your Information.” In order for TRUTHSHEPARD to collect this information, you must consent to the collection of your Personal Data. TRUTHSHEPARD will only use your Personal Data for the purposes established in this Privacy Policy, unless we discover another purpose that is in line with TRUTHSHEPARD’s original purpose for collection. In the event that you do not consent to the collection of your Personal Data, then TRUTHSHEPARD may not be able to completely and fully provide you with all of our Services.

TRUTHSHEPARD will store your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which the Personal Data was collected and processed, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Data, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use of disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve these purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. Upon expiration of this time frame, TRUTHSHEPARD will securely erase and destroy all of your collected Personal Data, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Personal Data

The term “Personal Data” includes any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, so called “data subjects” (e.g., information such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, IP address, credit card information, identification number, website Cookies, occupation and location).

Personal Data does not include data from which you can no longer be identified due to encryption or anonymity. In some circumstances, TRUTHSHEPARD may completely anonymize your Personal Data so that it is no longer attributable to you. In this case, the information will no longer be considered Personal Data for GDPR purposes.

Rights to your Personal Data under the GDPR

If the GDPR applies to you, then you have particular rights as an individual under this regulation, including the right to:

Request access to your Personal Data stored by TRUTHSHEPARD and request certain information in relation to its processing;
Request a change and/or update be made to your Personal Data stored by TRUTHSHEPARD;
Request restriction of processing of your Personal Data;
Request erasure of your Personal Data stored by TRUTHSHEPARD; and
Object to the processing of your Personal Data.
Reasonable access to your personal data will be provided at no cost to you upon request made to TRUTHSHEPARD at shepardsden@gmail.com. If access cannot be provided within a reasonable time frame, TRUTHSHEPARD will provide you with a date when the information will be provided. If for some reason access is denied, TRUTHSHEPARD will provide an explanation as to why access has been denied.

Withdrawal of Consent

TRUTHSHEPARD acknowledges that even though you may initially consent to the processing of your Personal Data, you may want to withdraw your consent from time to time. You may withdraw your consent from the processing of Personal Data either entirely or in part. To withdraw your consent, please contact us at shepardsden@gmail.com.

If you wish to make a payment through the Services, your Personal Information will be collected by such third party and not by us, and will be subject to the third party’s privacy statement, rather than this Privacy Statement.
