I. What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of (1) personally identifiable information, as defined by numerous statutes in the United States (such statutes, the “PII Laws”), (2) information protected by the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”), (3) personal information and private information, as defined by the New York Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Act (the “SHIELD Act”); (4) personal data, as defined by the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), and (5) personal information, as defined by Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronics Documents Act (“PIPEDA”, and collectively with the PII Laws, CCPA, CalOPPA, the SHIELD Act, and GDPR, the “Privacy Laws”) (collectively, “Personal Information”), which we gather when you are accessing, viewing or using any of our Website and/or Services. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.

II. What Information Does Flappingoodtale Collect?

Flappingoodtale does not collect Personal Information indiscriminately. We limit the type of Personal Information and the amount of Personal Information to what is necessary to fulfill the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy. With that in mind, we collect the following types of information:

A. Information You Provide to Us

We may collect Personal Information from you when you visit our Website, register for or subscribe to any Services, contact us with questions or comments, and/or otherwise interact with the Website or Services. For example, when you contact us with questions about our Services, we may collect your name and contact information (including your phone number and email address). Additionally, while interacting with the Services, we may collect (a) your website information, and (b) demographic information, including your zip code and information regarding your preferences and interests. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, although that may affect the functionality of the Services.

B. Information Collected Automatically

Whenever you interact with our Website, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser including data related to use of Services, IP address, “cookie” information, and the page you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your computer or mobile device that allow us to recognize your browser or mobile device and tell us how and when pages in our Website are visited and used and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or mobile device to send “do not track” signals or to prevent or limit your computer or device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our Website’s features. If you click on a link to a third party website, such third party may also transmit cookies to you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties.

C. E-mail and Other Communications

We may contact you, by email or other means; for example, we may communicate with you about your use of the Website. When we do this, we may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. This confirmation helps us make emails more interesting and improve our service. If you do not want to receive email from us, please contact us at themom@flappingoodtale.com. Please note that if you do not want to receive legal notices from us, those legal notices will still govern your use of the Website, and you are responsible for reviewing such legal notices for changes.

Note that you may unsubscribe from our Mailing List at any time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in any of our email communications. After you unsubscribe, we will not send you further marketing communications (including communications about blog updates), but we may continue to contact you to the extent necessary for the purposes of any Services you have requested.

D. Sensitive Personal Information

Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not knowingly collect sensitive Personal Information, including: government identifiers (such as Social Security numbers and driver’s licenses); financial account and login information (such as credit or debit card number together with login credentials); precise geolocation; race, ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership; content of nonpublic communications (mail, email and text messages); genetic data; biometric or health information; and sex life or sexual orientation information. Where we collect and use such information as a contractor or service provider (as those terms are defined in the CCPA and CPRA), we rely on the business (as defined in the CCPA and CPRA) to obtain your informed consent.

E. Payment Card Information

You may choose to purchase goods from the Website using a credit or debit card. While you may provide payment card information on the Website by directly entering the information into the payment processing service to which Flappingoodtale subscribes, Flappingoodtale does not, itself, process or store the card information.

If Flappingoodtale has not collected or used your Personal Information, or has not disclosed your Personal Information to another party, Flappingoodtale will inform you of that in response to any of the above requests. Some information may remain in Flappingoodtale’s backup media after erasure or deletion for a period of time. When you request that Flappingoodtale update information, Flappingoodtale may retain a copy of the unrevised information in Flappingoodtale’s records. Flappingoodtale also may use any anonymized aggregated statistical data derived from or incorporating Personal Information after it is updated, erased, or deleted, but not in a manner that would identify you.

We will confirm receipt of all such requests, provide information about how Flappingoodtale will process the request, and substantively respond to all such requests consistent with the Privacy Laws. There may be a delay in processing a request while we verify that the request is valid and originates from you as opposed to an unauthorized third party. Our verification process varies based on the source and nature of the request, but may include: comparing data in the request against Personal Information we retain; contacting you using other contact information; requesting further information, although we will avoid doing so to the extent possible; and the consideration of certain factors, including the type, sensitivity, and value of your Personal Information, the risk of harm to you posed by an unauthorized request, the likelihood that fraudulent or malicious actors would seek your Personal Information, the manner in which we interact with you, the available technology, and whether the information you have provided to verify your identity is sufficiently robust to protect against fraudulent requests. To the extent permitted by the Privacy Laws, Flappingoodtale retains the right to deny any request if we cannot verify that it originated from you.

Flappingoodtale retains records of all of the above requests and our responses as required by the Privacy Laws.

When you update information, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records. Please note that some information may remain in our private records after your deletion of such information from your account. We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally.

C. Withdrawal of Consent

To the extent that we process your Personal Information based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at themom@flappingoodtale.com.
