This Privacy Policy explains how Justine Marpe ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit justinemarpe.com (the "Site"). It also describes the rights you have over your information, including specific rights for residents of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and California.
We are the controller responsible for your personal information. Justine Marpe is based in Charleston, South Carolina, United States. You can contact us at any time through the contact form.
Information we collect
Information you give us. When you use the contact form, we collect the details you choose to provide: your name, email address, organization (optional), and your message.
Information collected automatically. When you visit, we and our analytics provider collect basic usage information, such as the pages you view, the type of device and browser you use, approximate location at the city or region level, and how you interact with the Site. Some of this may be collected through cookies or similar technologies.
How we use your information, and our legal bases
We use your information to:
- respond to your questions and messages (our legitimate interest in replying, and to take steps at your request before any engagement);
- understand and improve how the Site works (our legitimate interest in operating and improving the Site, or your consent where required);
- keep the Site secure and operating properly (our legitimate interest, and to meet legal obligations);
- comply with the law when we are required to.
If you are in the EEA or the UK, the notes in parentheses describe the legal basis on which we rely under the GDPR. Where we rely on consent (for example, for non-essential analytics cookies), you may withdraw it at any time.
Services we rely on
We use a few trusted providers to run the Site. Each processes information under its own privacy policy:
- Web3Forms processes messages sent through the contact form and delivers them to us.
- PostHog provides analytics about how the Site is used.
- Cloudflare hosts the Site and helps keep it fast and secure.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose information only to the service providers listed above who help us operate the Site, and when we are required to by law or to protect our rights.
International data transfers
We are based in the United States, and our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. If you access the Site from the EEA or the UK, your information may be transferred to countries whose data protection laws differ from your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, for these transfers.
How long we keep it
We keep contact form messages for as long as needed to respond to you and maintain reasonable records, and no longer than necessary. Usage and analytics information is kept for a limited period consistent with understanding and improving the Site.
Cookies and similar technologies
The Site may use cookies or similar browser storage to support analytics and basic functionality. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the Site.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the rights below. To exercise any of them, please contact us through the contact form. We will respond as required by law, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
If you are in the EEA or the UK, you have the right to access your information; to have it corrected or deleted; to restrict or object to how we use it; to receive a copy in a portable format; and, where we rely on consent, to withdraw that consent. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use and disclose it; to access, delete, or correct your personal information; and to be free from discrimination for exercising your rights. In the past 12 months we have collected the categories of personal information described under "Information we collect" (identifiers such as your name and email, professional information such as your organization, internet or network activity, and approximate geolocation), from you directly and automatically from your device, for the purposes described above. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would give rise to a right to limit. You may also request the information described under California's "Shine the Light" law.
Children's privacy
The Site is intended for a general, professional audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page.
