Privacy Policy

This document was Adapted from the GoDaddy.com Privacy Policy from April 2024:

Data Covered by this Privacy Notice

This global privacy notice covers personally identifiable information (PII) when we act as the data controller.

PII identifies or could be used to identify a specific person, and any data about that person. For example, your name, address, and payment details are PII.
We act as a controller when we process PII for our own use. For example, we act as a controller when you provide your PII to open an account.

This notice does not apply when you process PII for your own benefit. For example, when you send email for your business purposes that includes PII, you are acting as the “controller”. When you act as the controller, we act as the “processor” and process PII only in accordance with your instructions or as required by law.

This notice also does not apply to third-party applications offered through our services or linked through our website, such as Microsoft 365 and similar offerings. Please review the privacy notice of any third-party service or website before using it.

Core Privacy Rights

We recognize several core privacy rights:

the right to know what PII we hold about you
the right to access, correct, or delete your PII
the right to transfer your PII (data portability)
the right to set your marketing and advertising preferences

We promptly review requests to exercise privacy rights. If we need more information to process your request, we will contact you by email or, if we do not have an email address on file for you, by the same method you made your request.

If we do not honor your request for legal or other reasons, we will explain why we did not honor your request, your right to appeal, and your right to file a complaint (if available where you live).

Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Tools

We use three main “identifiers” on our website and in our services: cookies, web beacons, and scripts.

Cookies are text files placed on your device when you visit our webpages or view messages from us. Some cookies are “session cookies” that expire at the end of your browser session, while others are “persistent cookies” that allow us to remember your preferences and settings over multiple visits and across other websites.
Web Beacons are image files placed in our web pages and emails.
Scripts are small pieces of computer code that power customer service tools, deliver video, and provide interactive experiences. We also use scripts for measuring service use.

We manage some identifiers directly. Other identifiers are managed by third parties. For example, we use Google Analytics to monitor site performance and visitor engagement.

We use identifiers to provide customized services, measure website performance, provide customer support, and deliver personalized advertising. Examples of how we use identifiers include, but are not limited to:

Setting your service preferences
Managing your shopping cart
Guarding against fraud
Delivering relevant advertisements
Measuring website use
Conducting research to improve our services

Identifier Management

You can manage identifier settings by clicking on Manage Privacy Settings through the link in this notice. Customers can also manage their identifier settings for our website and our services through their customer account. We use optional and mandatory cookies and other identifiers. Optional cookies and other identifiers are used for support, website performance, and advertising. Mandatory cookies and other identifiers are used for account, verification, service continuity, security, and other functions necessary to provide our website and services.

In addition to our Manage Privacy Settings options, many web browsers allow users to block cookies (directly or through plugins and extensions). Some cookies, however, are essential for our website and services to function. If you set your browser to block all cookies, you may not be able to use our services.

"Do Not Track" and other Preference Signals

Some web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” feature. There are no generally accepted standards for this feature and we do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

We also do not recognize any universal opt-out mechanism, such as the Global Privacy Control, which is still under development.

Marketing and Advertising Preferences

You can manage your marketing and advertising preferences, including whether you wish to receive customized marketing and advertising:

Through this notice by clicking Manage Privacy Settings
If you are a customer, through your Account Settings

Storage

We store PII on our own systems and with trusted service providers, including Amazon Web Services.

International Transfers

We transfer PII internationally to operate our business and provide services. We comply with applicable law when making international transfers.

For transfers of PII from the European Union/European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, we have certified our compliance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“EU-U.S. DPF), the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, collectively (the “DPF”). Please see our Data Privacy Framework Notice for more information on our participation in the DPF Program.

Please see our European Data Protection Disclosures for more information pursuant to the DPF and other transfer mechanisms we use to transfer PII from the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and the UK.

Length of Retention

We retain PII for our business needs and to comply with law. If we no longer need PII, we may delete it or de-identify it so that it no longer identifies a specific person. Factors we consider when deciding when to delete or de-identify your PII include: (1) if you still have an account, (2) if we are required to retain PII to comply with law, or (3) if the PII is needed for tax other business purposes.

Security

We use risk-based measures to protect PII, including appropriate security controls and employee training. We also require that our service providers, business partners, and advertisers use appropriate risk-based controls to protect PII.

No Collection of PII about Children

We do not knowingly collect PII about anyone under 18 without permission from their legal guardian. Please contact us at chris@thejohnwalkergroup.com if you believe we have collected information from a child without permission from their legal guardian.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process PII upon your request, with your consent, to fulfill our contract with you, based on our legitimate interest, or other lawful bases. The specific basis of processing depends on the services you are using, the data being processed, the place where the processing occurs, and the place where you live. If you have questions about our basis for processing your PII, please contact us at chris@thejohnwalkergroup.com

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

No Financial Incentives

We do not provide any financial incentives for providing PII to us.

We may revise this Global Privacy Notice by posting a revised statement at the same location as this Notice or on another location on our website. If we change this Notice, it will apply to personal data collected prior to adoption of the new statement only to the extent as the new statement does not reduce the rights of affected data subjects.
