Personal information you disclose to us 

In Short: We collect personal information that you provide to us such as name and email address.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when expressing an interest in obtaining information about this site or otherwise contacting us, including the following:

Publicly Available Personal Information. We collect names, usernames, email addresses, and other similar data.

Credentials. We DO NOT collect passwords, password hints, or other similar security information used for authentication and account access.

3. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?  

We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless otherwise required by law.   

4. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?  

In Short:  We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.  

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using this site, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of this site. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at michaelshanksonline@gmail.com.

5. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?  

In Short:  You may simply choose to not contact us at all.

If you are resident in the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.

6. DATA BREACH

A privacy breach occurs when there is unauthorized access to or collection, use, disclosure or disposal of personal information. As Michael Shanks OnLine does not solicit the collection of any information beyond publicly available information such as names and email addresses, we do not anticipate a privacy breach occurring which may impact users.

7. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES  

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy policy.  

8. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?  

In Short:  Yes, if you are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding access to your personal information.   

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below. No private information is collected nor publicly posted.

9. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS POLICY?  

In Short:  Yes, we will update this policy as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.  

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “revised” date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we may post a notice of such changes on the site or on social media. We encourage you to review this privacy policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.

If you have questions or comments about this policy, you may email us at michaelshanksonline@gmail.com

However, the only information we might collect includes names and email addresses, and that information is not retained for any purpose.
