Online Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 2, 2019
I care about your privacy and recognizes the importance of protecting your personal information. I have prepared this Privacy Policy to help you understand important information about my privacy practices. This Policy applies to my website (www.christopherhjohnson.com) and any content delivered by me through my website (the “Site”). This Policy describes the kinds of personal information from or about you that I may gather via the Site, how I use, share and protect such information, and how you can manage your preferences concerning my uses and sharing of such information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information I may collect in other forums, including through e-mail or offline correspondence.
Throughout this policy, “me,” “my,” and “I” refer to Christopher Johnson. “You” and “your” refers to any person using the Site.
This Privacy Policy forms part of my Terms of Use; please read each document carefully. By visiting the Site, you consent to my collection, use, and sharing of personal information about you as described in this Privacy Policy and in my Terms of Use. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy or my Terms of Use, please do not use the Site.
I may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. I will post any changes on this page, and update the “Last Updated” date at the bottom, so be sure to check back periodically to stay aware of any modifications. Your use of the Site after changes have been posted will constitute your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and any changes.
What Personal Information Do I Collect?
User Provided Information
My online content is free. If you choose to sign up for my email list to stay up to date on new developments and to receive notifications about upcoming events, you must provide your full name and email address.
Automatically Collected Information
I may also automatically collect tracking information from all visitors about how they use the Site. I may use cookies and other technologies to help compile browser statistics, such as log file information (i.e., Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, browser language, pages viewed, and the date and time of a site visit). This enables me to measure the efficacy of my content.
How I Use and Share Personal Information
Uses of Personal Information
I use the information you submit as described on my site, to respond to your request, or to otherwise help us in processing your request. It also includes alerting recipients on my email list of upcoming events and news so they may stay current on new developments. I may periodically contact you with other important information.
I also work with Google to analyze your use of the Site, including the time and duration of your use of the Site or other information about your interaction with my online content. This data will not identify you personally; it is used to help me improve the functionality of the Site.
Sharing of Personal Information
I do not ordinarily share your personal information. This may, however, be necessary to register you for events and administer my events. You authorize me to share such information with any business partners co-presenting these programs.
I may also share your information in the event that it is necessary for any of the following reasons:
· To protect my rights or property or the safety of myself or others;
· To comply with any court order, legal process, or respond to any governmental or regulatory request; or,
· To transfer information in the event of a merger, transfer of assets, or other organizational restructuring.
Your Choices Regarding the Personal Information I Collect
I will honor your choices concerning my collection, use, or sharing of personal information about you. For example, if you have requested email communications from me (e.g., newsletters and communications) but do not wish to receive further information, you may “opt out” of receiving such by following the instructions contained in those email messages. At any time, you may change your browser cookie settings, and you may also contact me as described below to request that I do any of the following:
• Update, correct, or delete personal information about you;
• Provide you with access to personal information about you;
• Withdraw your consent to marketing or other communications; and,
• Change your preferences regarding my sharing of personal information with third parties.
Although you may unsubscribe at any time from any e-marketing platform I use, you agree that I may email or otherwise directly contact you regarding any other matter unless or until you withdraw such request.
Information Security
I am committed to maintaining your confidence and trust, and I take reasonable security measures to protect your information, including the use of appropriate physical, technical, and administrative controls. However, no security system is impenetrable, and no transmission or electronic storage of information is guaranteed to be secure. I therefore urge you to always use caution when transmitting information over the Internet.
Children’s Information
The Site is not intended for children under 13 years of age. I do not knowingly collect or store any personal information from children under 13 years of age; however, I may obtain information about children of any age if provided by a parent, guardian, or other adult seeking services on behalf of a minor.
International Transfers
I am based in Illinois in the United States. While I do not actively service or target international users, the information you submit to me and that I automatically collect as a result of your using the Site will be transferred to the United States, where the privacy and data protection rules may differ from those in your country. By using my Site, you consent to the international transfer to, and storage of, your personal information in the United States.
Your California Privacy Rights
California’s “Shine The Light” law permits residents of California to annually request and obtain information free of charge about what personal information is disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. I do not disclose your personal information to third parties for the third parties’ own direct marketing purposes.
Contact Me
If you have any further inquiries about my Privacy Policy or practices, or wish to change your preferences concerning my uses or sharing of your information, please contact me via the contact form.
