Compliance
As Hollenback Consulting is headquartered in the United States, we generally adhere to laws in the U.S., but do attempt to follow rules to protect the personal information of all of our visitors. Our intention is to always be in compliance with U.S. and international laws concerning data privacy. This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union, the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as well as any other privacy regulations which may be applicable.

The Services are not intended for use by persons under the age of 13. Hollenback Consulting does not knowingly collect information from visitors under the age of 13 and, in fact, we require that you are at least 18 years old to use the Services. Should we learn that a person under the age of 13 has provided Us with Personal Information, we will immediately delete such Personal Information.

Security
We implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect your information. When you provide Personal Information such as your name, email, or credit card information, we use third-party products and Services to secure or store your information. Sensitive information (such as credit card data) is encrypted and transmitted in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https://” at the beginning of the address of the web page. The Personal Information you provide when using the Services is not stored on our servers or computer systems.

However, due to the open nature of the Internet we cannot guarantee that communication between you and us, and between us and you, will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide. Any information that you provide is done at your own risk. 

If we learn of a data security breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Services or providing Personal Information, you agree to receive electronic communications regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the Services. We may also post a notice via the Services if a security breach occurs. 

Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive written notice of a data privacy or security breach. If you have reason to believe that your Personal Information has been compromised through use of our Services, please notify us by e-mailing privacy@hollenbackconsulting.com.
