YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Depending on where you reside, you may be able to exercise certain rights with respect to Personal Information you provided to GIGI CLOZEAU, or that GIGI CLOZEAU may have collected about you, such as rights to:

Confirm whether GIGI CLOZEAU has collected and is processing your Personal Information and, if so, you may have a right to access such data;

Delete Personal Information you provided to GIGI CLOZEAU or that we have otherwise collected about you;
Obtain a copy of Personal Information GIGI CLOZEAU maintains about you in a portable and readily usable format, if technically feasible, that would allow you to transfer such Personal Information to another service or provider, where the applicable processing is carried out by automated means; and
Opt-out of any processing of your Personal Information for the purposes of, as applicable, (1) targeted advertising based on your browsing behavior before and after you visit or use the Services, (2) any sale of your Personal Information, or (3) any profiling of you based on collected Personal Information in a way that would produce legal ramifications or similarly significant real-world effects on you.

If you would like to request the ability to access, review, edit, or delete any of the Personal Information that GIGI CLOZEAU collected about you (subject to any applicable legal exceptions), opt-out of receiving further information from GIGI CLOZEAU, or limit what we share, or if you otherwise wish to exercise available privacy rights or ask GIGI CLOZEAU to cease using your Personal Information in the manners specified in this Policy (subject to any applicable legal exceptions), please contact us at contact@gigiclozeau.com.

GIGI CLOZEAU may refuse any request made regarding collected Personal Information if it is unable to verify the identity of the person making the request or if it cannot authenticate the legitimacy of the request using commercially reasonable efforts. Under such circumstances, GIGI CLOZEAU may follow up with you for additional information as reasonably necessary to authenticate your request. Subject to applicable legal requirements, if GIGI CLOZEAU refuses to act on a request you make based on the rights listed at the beginning of this section, you may have a right to submit an appeal by contacting us using the same method as when you made the initial request. In the event GIGI CLOZEAU must deny your appeal, we will provide a way for you to forward your complaint to the appropriate legal authorities.

Any removal of content by GIGI CLOZEAU does not ensure or guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of the content in all places. The content may have been shared or reposted by other parties, or federal or state law may require maintenance of the content or information. GIGI CLOZEAU will do its best to accommodate your request, but we cannot guarantee we can remove all Personal Information from the specified uses. Therefore, please be as specific as possible in your request. If the request relates to information that GIGI CLOZEAU needs to make the Services function properly for you, you may not be able to use the Services properly moving forward.

GIGI CLOZEAU reserves the right to maintain proper business records as required by law, or for otherwise legitimate business purposes to the extent permitted by law, even if such records contain your Personal Information.

Some browsers incorporate “Do Not Track” features that, when activated, signal to websites and online services that you do not wish to be tracked. As there is not yet an accepted standard for how to respond to browser such “Do Not Track” signals, the Site may not respond to them. To learn more about ways to possibly opt-out of certain kinds of tracking that occur when you browse the Internet generally and may lead to targeted advertising, visit the Network Advertising Initiative website and the Digital Advertising Alliance website. Options you select are browser- and device-specific, and there is no guarantee that these industry-provided opt-out tools will prevent all targeted advertising. As noted previously in this Policy, it is possible that certain third parties may collect or receive information through the Services. Since some of these third parties may respond differently than GIGI CLOZEAU to “Do Not Track” requests, you should consult the applicable privacy policies of those third parties for that information.

DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION

GIGI CLOZEAU implements, uses, and maintains industry standard administrative, technical, and physical data security measures that are reasonably designed to help secure your non-public Personal Information from loss, unauthorized access or disclosure, both in storage and in transmission.
