Deckandchips | Personal Information Protection Policy

Welcome to the privacy policy of Deckandchips. This Privacy Policy is designed to inform you, the user, about how we handle and protect any personal information you choose to share with us. We provide no products, services, or paid functionalities on our website; instead, our website is intended solely for informational purposes. Accordingly, there are no processes related to payments, billing, or any service subscriptions discussed here. We are committed to ensuring that your personal data remains secure, and we abide by all applicable privacy and data protection regulations. For your convenience, this document explains our practices in detail and outlines your rights in relation to your personal data.

Definitions and Scope

In this Privacy Policy, "personal information," "personal data," or "user data" refers to any information that directly or indirectly identifies an individual. Even though our website does not offer any commercial services or paid functionalities, we may receive or collect personal information from you when you voluntarily interact with our site. This information can include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, phone number, and any other data that you provide to us via forms, email correspondence, or other means.

This policy is applicable to all users of Deckandchips, regardless of geographic location, and outlines our approach to handling your personal data in compliance with relevant legal requirements, including those set forth by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Information Collection and Usage

Since our website is solely informational, we do not actively collect personal information through commercial transactions or payment systems. However, you may choose to provide us with personal data (for example, when subscribing to newsletters, filling out contact forms, or participating in surveys). When you provide us with such information, it is collected only with the explicit consent that you have provided.

We collect personal data only when you voluntarily submit it. This may involve data such as your name, contact details including email address using macros like [email protected], and other relevant details if you decide to opt into communications or other voluntary interactions.

The collected data helps us to:

  • Communicate with you in response to your inquiries;
  • Improve the content and structure of our informational pages;
  • Customize our website’s content to better suit user interests and preferences; and
  • Conduct research related to the use and enhancement of our services.

It is important to note that no financial transactions or paid service enrollments are processed through our site, meaning that there is absolutely no sharing or processing of financial data.

Our legal basis for collecting personal data is user consent. You are free to provide only the information you wish to share, and you can always contact us if you wish to know more about what is stored about you.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

In order to provide you with a seamless browsing experience and to improve the performance and functionality of our site, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us understand your usage patterns on our platform.

We use cookies solely for analytics, to enable basic functionality, and to enhance the user experience. Cookies can be disabled via your browser settings, though doing so might affect certain functionalities of our website.

Data Retention and Storage Periods

We store your personal information only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was originally collected. Once your data is no longer required for the purposes described, we will proceed with securely deleting or anonymizing it.

In cases where your data is stored for compliance with legal obligations, research purposes, or the exercise of your rights as provided in the privacy regulations, we will retain your personal information for the period mandated by such laws or until it is no longer relevant to the purpose for which it was initially collected.

We periodically review the personal data we hold to determine whether it remains necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected. If it is not, we will securely dispose of that information.

Access, Modification, and Deletion of Your Information

We believe that you should have full control over your personal data. As such, if you have provided your information through our website, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data;
  • Request correction if any inaccuracies are found;
  • Request deletion of your personal information;
  • Request restrictions on the processing of your information; and
  • Receive a copy of the data provided in a portable format.

These rights are in line with the legal protections provided under certain privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details provided below.

To request access or changes, or to report any concerns regarding the handling of your data, please send your request to our designated data protection contact point.

Data Security Measures

We take the security of your personal data very seriously. Although no method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure, we utilize a variety of technical, administrative, and physical security measures intended to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Some of the measures we use include:

  • Regular review and updating of our security protocols;
  • Implementation of secure communication channels (such as encrypted sessions) for data transmission;
  • Limiting access to personal data to only those personnel who require it to perform their duties;
  • Ongoing training for our staff regarding data privacy and security best practices; and
  • Implementation of robust firewalls and intrusion detection systems.

We continuously work to enhance our data security protocols in line with best practices and advancements in technology. While we make every effort to protect your data, please understand that absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Compliance with Privacy Laws and Regulations

At Deckandchips, we design our data handling practices to comply with all applicable data protection and privacy regulations. Given that our website operates solely as a provider of free and informational content, certain complexities related to transactional data do not apply. However, we do adhere to the measures and rights provided by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

We ensure that any personal data collected is handled in accordance with legal requirements for secure storage, appropriate processing, and data minimization. In scenarios where relevant, our practices align with the principles underlying data protection frameworks, including but not limited to:

  • Data minimization and purpose limitation: We only collect the data that is necessary and solely for the purposes outlined in this policy.
  • Transparency: We provide clear information about our data practices and the purposes for which your information is used.
  • User rights: We respect and ensure your rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, and delete your data.
  • Accountability: We maintain internal procedures to guarantee compliance with privacy obligations.

Should any legislative changes occur, we will promptly update our Privacy Policy accordingly to maintain compliance with the latest legal requirements.

Third-Party Disclosures

As a website that provides information without engaging in commercial exchanges or data monetization, we do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. Your data will only be shared when it is required by law, or when you provide explicit consent for a specific purpose. In cases where data must be processed by external service providers, we ensure that those entities apply robust data protection measures and abide by contractual obligations that guarantee the confidentiality and security of your personal information.

We only permit third parties to access the personal information you provide when necessary to perform functions on our behalf. In all such instances, the security and privacy of your data remain a paramount concern.
