Last Updated: September 2024

Your privacy is very important to Creative Dept. LLC® (“Creative Dept.®,” “we,” or “us”). To ensure your information is protected, we have adopted this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”), which outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data. Please note, this Privacy Policy only applies to information collected through www.creativedept.io and any other websites owned and controlled by Creative Dept.® (collectively, the “Website”). If you navigate to other websites via links on our Website, this policy no longer applies, and you should review the privacy policies of those third-party sites. Also, the Website is not intended for individuals under the age of 18.

What Information We Collect and How We Collect It
We collect certain types of information, including Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”), with your consent. PII includes details like your email address and other data that can be linked to your identity. We only collect PII when necessary to provide our services or maintain the Website. This information is collected when you interact with us via the Website, email, phone, or other communication channels. You always have the option not to provide information by choosing not to use the Website or specific features of it.

At present, we do not use cookies, but we reserve the right to introduce cookies in the future. Cookies are small data files stored on your device to enhance your browsing experience and provide us with information on your usage patterns. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings. However, if you do, certain features of our Website may not function properly.

Additionally, we collect non-personally identifiable information, such as the number of visitors to the Website, the pages viewed, and the referral source (e.g., search engines). This data is used for statistical analysis to improve our services. We may also share non-identifiable information with third parties for similar purposes.

Do Not Track Procedures
We respect your preferences regarding PII and tracking. If we implement tracking technologies in the future, we will comply with any Do-Not-Track settings from your browser and any instructions you provide. Note that these settings will not affect any information you voluntarily submit to us. California residents may request certain information about the disclosure of their personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes by emailing us at privacy@creativedept.io.

Children’s Privacy
Protecting children’s privacy is of the highest importance. We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and do not knowingly collect PII from children under 13. If we discover that we have unintentionally collected PII from a child under 13, we will promptly delete it. Parents or guardians who believe we may have collected such information can contact us at privacy@creativedept.io to ensure its removal.

Our Use of Information
We may use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries, process requested transactions, maintain the Website's security, and for internal purposes such as improving our services. Additionally, we may use your contact information to send updates or newsletters, but you will always have the option to opt out of these communications.

Disclosure of Your Information to Third Parties
We are committed to protecting your information and only share it under the following circumstances:

1. With Service Providers – We may share your information with third-party service providers who assist us in managing the Website or performing other services.

2. In the Event of Acquisition – If Creative Dept.® is acquired by another company, the acquirer will assume responsibility for the personal information collected and will be subject to this Privacy Policy or their own policies.

3. Legal Requirements – We may disclose information when required by law, in response to court orders, or to prevent illegal or unethical conduct. We will make every effort to notify you of such disclosures unless prohibited by law.

We do not sell or distribute your PII to third parties for marketing purposes.

Access to Your Information
You can request access to or correction of the PII you have submitted through the Website. If you wish to access, correct, or delete any PII in our systems, please contact us at privacy@creativedept.io.

Security
We take the security of your information seriously. We employ industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption, and restrict access to your data to authorized personnel who need it for their work.
