The information we receive depends on your privacy settings with the social media platform.

  • Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information that we maintain about you.
  • Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: While we do not typically collect “Sensitive Personal Information” as defined by CCPA/CPRA, if we were to, you would have the right to limit its use and disclosure to only what is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests those goods or services.

8. Data Security

The security of your data is paramount to us, and we strive to implement commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data. We employ a range of technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:

  • Encryption (SSL/TLS): We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology to encrypt data in transit between your browser and our servers. This ensures that any information you submit to us, such as contact details or comments, is protected.
  • Access Controls: Access to your Personal Data is restricted to employees, contractors, and service providers who have a legitimate business need to know that information to perform their duties. They are subject to confidentiality obligations.
  • Firewalls and Intrusion Detection: We utilize firewalls and intrusion detection systems to monitor and prevent unauthorized access to our network and systems.
  • Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular vulnerability scans and penetration tests to identify and remediate potential security weaknesses.
  • Data Minimization: We only collect Personal Data that is relevant and necessary for the stated purposes.
  • Data Anonymization and Pseudonymization: Where feasible and appropriate, we anonymize or pseudonymize data to reduce the risk of re-identification.
  • Backup and Recovery: We maintain robust backup and disaster recovery procedures to ensure the availability and integrity of our data.

However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we endeavor to use industry-standard measures to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You also have a role in protecting your data by choosing strong, unique passwords and keeping them confidential.

9. Data Retention

We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

  • The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you: (e.g., for as long as you have an account with us or are subscribed to our newsletter).
  • Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject: (e.g., certain laws require us to keep transaction records for a certain period).
  • Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position: (e.g., for statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations).

When we no longer need to retain your Personal Data, we will either delete or anonymize it. If deletion or anonymization is not possible (for example, because your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13 (“Children”). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children have provided us with Personal Data, please contact us at [email protected]. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

For users within the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK, we do not knowingly process personal data of individuals under the age of 16 without appropriate parental consent, in accordance with GDPR requirements.

11. International Data Transfers

As luxury.tipskuliah.com is accessible globally, and our service providers may be located in various countries, 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.

For example, if you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, and your data is processed outside these regions, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to project your Personal Data. These safeguards may include:

  • Adequacy Decisions: Relying on countries or jurisdictions deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission.
  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Implementing specific contracts approved by the European Commission or other relevant authorities that legally bind third parties to protect Personal Data.
  • Your Explicit Consent: In some cases, we may rely on your explicit consent for the transfer of your Personal Data.

By using our Website and providing your Personal Data, you consent to this transfer, storage, and processing of your information in countries outside your jurisdiction, understanding that the level of data protection in these jurisdictions may not always be equivalent to that in your home country.

12. Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. This includes websites linked to in our “Home Exterior” articles that might offer products, services, or further information. Our inclusion of external links does not imply endorsement or affiliation with the linked website or its operators.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other reasons. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

We will let you know via email (if you are subscribed to our newsletter and have provided your email address) and/or a prominent notice on our Service, prior to the change becoming effective, and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page. Your continued use of the Website after the effective date of the revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the terms.
