Privacy Notice
Last updated July 1, 2022
I am committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. Please read this privacy notice carefully as it will help you understand what information may be collected on this website, how it is used, and your rights regarding any data collection.
1. What information do I collect?
I collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you express an interest in obtaining information about my services or when you contact me. This may include: names, phone numbers, email addresses, and contact preferences.
Some information is automatically collected when you visit, use, or navigate my website. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, and other information about how and when you use my website.
I do not knowingly collect personal information from children (under the age of 18). If you become aware of any personal information that I may have collected from children, please contact me at privacy@natashacostello.com.
2. How do I use your information?
I only use your personal information for legitimate business purposes or for compliance with my legal obligations.
Here are some of my reasons for collecting your personal information:
to give you details about my services or enter into a contract with you following your request via the ‘Contact me’ page on my website
to send you product, service and new feature information (with your consent)
for the proper functioning and security of my website (including, for example, fraud monitoring and prevention).
3. Will your information be shared with anyone?
I will not disclose any personal information that I collect except that where I am legally required to do so (for example, in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a court order).
I may share your personal information with third-party service providers who perform services for my website and require access to such information to do that work. Such services include: data analysis, email delivery, and hosting services. The third parties may use tracking technology on my website, which will enable them to collect data on my behalf about how you interact with my website. This information may be used to analyse and track website usage. Any such third parties must protect the data they hold on my behalf.
For example, this website is hosted by Squarespace (see their privacy policy at https://www.squarespace.com/privacy) and uses Google Analytics (see their privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en).
4. What about cookies?
I use cookies (and may use similar tracking technologies like web beacons and pixels). Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of my website.
5. For how long do I keep your information?
I will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes explained in this privacy notice. I will not keep your personal information for longer than 2 years, unless a longer retention period is required by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements).
6. How safe is your personal information?
Despite my safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so I cannot promise that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat my security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
Although I will do my best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from my website is at your own risk. You should only access my website within a secure environment.
If you think that your privacy has been breached, please contact me immediately at privacy@natashacostello.com.
Please note that my website may contain links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by me. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites and you should carefully check the privacy policies of those sites.
7. What are your privacy rights?
In some countries, you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These include the rights to:
request access to and obtain a copy of your personal information
request correction or erasure of your personal information
restrict the processing of your personal information
object to the processing of your personal information.
request transfer of your personal information
withdraw your consent to process your personal information
To exercise any of these rights, please contact me at privacy@natashacostello.com.
If you are resident in the European Union and you believe I am unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority.
