PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: December 9, 2020

We at Bonnie Christine LLC (“Company”, “we”, “us”) respect your privacy and want you to understand how we collect, use, and share data about you - our visitors, users and customers. 

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) addresses our data collection practices and describes your rights to access, correct, or restrict our use of your personal information. Unless we state otherwise, this Policy applies when you visit or use the Company website(s)- www.bonniechristine.com, www.surfacedesigntribe.com, www.bonniechristine.mykajabi.com, www.myflourishplanner.com – our social media channels, email service providers, and related platforms (“Platforms”).
By using the Platforms, you agree to the terms of this Policy, our Terms of Service (located here www.bonniechristine.com/terms) or any other agreement that governs your use of our Platforms (collectively, “Agreements”). You should not use our Platforms if you do not agree with the terms and conditions contained in these Agreements.

1. WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT 
We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you create an online account, sign up to receive our emails, communicate with us on the Platforms or via third-party social media sites, or order our products or services. Here are some examples of data we collect about you: 

Payment Data: If you purchase a Company product or service, we collect data regarding which product or service you’ve purchased and how much you’ve paid for those products or services. We collect certain data about your purchase as necessary to process your request. You must provide certain payment and billing data directly to our third-party payment processing partners, including your name, credit card number, security code, expiration date, billing address, shipping address, and/or zip code. For your security, the Company does not have access to or store sensitive cardholder data, such as full credit card numbers or card authentication data. Payments are processed through a third-party processor, therefore, the collection, use, and sharing of your data will also be subject to the privacy policies and related agreements of that third party.

Content: In order to receive our free content (for example, online webinars, e-courses, downloads, mailing lists) you must provide certain information like your name and email address so that we can communicate information about that content to you. We collect data regarding which content you chose to receive, whether you accessed it, whether you purchased a product or service as a result of viewing the content, as well as any feedback in the form of responses to surveys and/or chat features that may be enabled. Such content is hosted via third-party platforms, therefore, the collection, use, and sharing of your data will also be subject to the privacy policies and related agreements of that third party.

User Account Data: When you purchase or are granted access to one of our products (such as Memberships or Courses), you need to create a User Account. When you create your User Account, you must provide certain information like your name, email address, username, and password. We collect data regarding which products you have access to, how much you paid for those products or services, the first date you signed into your User Account, the number of times you’ve signed into your User Account, the date of your last activity in your User Account and which lessons you’ve completed. For your security, the Company is unable to view your User Account password.

Shared Public Content: Our Platforms permit you to publicly interact with us and other users, share content, post comments, leave reviews, and ask or answer questions. Such shared content may be publicly viewable by others depending on where it is posted. If such information is shared on a third-party platform, such as a social media site, the collection, use, and sharing of your data will also be subject to the privacy policies and related agreements of that third party.

Giveaways, Promotions, and Surveys: We may invite you to complete a survey, provide feedback, or participate in a promotion (like a giveaway), either through our Platforms or a third-party platform. If you participate, we will collect and store the data you provide us as part of your participation, such as your name and email address and any other requested feedback. If you submit this information via a third-party platform, the collection, use, and sharing of your data will also be subject to the privacy policies and other agreements of that third party.

Electronic Communications from Company: If you elect to receive email notifications from us, we collect your name and email address so that we can send you email communications about the requested information, products, and services. We collect data regarding which content you received as well as whether or when you accessed. Email communications are sent from a third-party platform, therefore, the collection, use, and sharing of your data will also be subject to the privacy policies and related agreements of that third party.

Customer Support: If you contact us (via email, phone, text, messaging platform, or through our social media channels), we may collect and store your name, email address, the content of your message, information about your business and any other data you provide.

We do not collect any information from you regarding your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data, or criminal conviction and offences. 

When you visit or access the Platforms, including our email communications, we use tracking technologies like cookies, pixels, web beacons, tags, and other tracking technologies to collect information about your engagement, as well as your browsing and purchasing behavior. These tracking technologies include:

Clickstream Data: Through web site access logs, we do collect clickstream data and HTTP protocol elements, which generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our Platforms. This information is used for internal purposes for research and development, user analysis and business decision making, all of which provides better services to our users. The statistics garnered, which contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information, may also be provided to third parties for data processing.

Cookies: A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to a website user’s browser from a Web server and is stored on the computer's hard drive. We use non-identifying cookies to provide easier site navigation. Our Platforms can still be used if your browser is set to reject cookies. Our cookies do not generate personal data, do not read personal data from your machine and are never tied to anything that could be used to identify you. Information gathered through cookies may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our site, and the websites visited just before and just after our own, as well as your IP address.

Web Beacon Technologies. We may also use Web beacon or other technologies to better tailor our Platforms to provide better customer service. If these technologies are in use, when a visitor accesses these pages of the Platforms, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by Company or its data processors. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you do not want cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages, you can set your browser to turn off cookies; however, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.

We use these tracking technologies to deliver, measure, and improve our Platforms – whether accessed through a browser or a mobile device - in various ways. In particular, these technologies help:

– make our Platforms easier to use;
– better tailor our Platforms to your interests and needs;
– carry out profiling activities in order to learn more about you;
– offer you tailored advertising based on your behavior on our Platforms;
– provide better customer service, and compile anonymous, aggregated information that allow us to better understand our customers and visitors.

You have a number of options to control or limit how we and our partners use cookies:

You can opt out of Google Analytics. For more information on opting out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites you use, visit this Google page: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

3. WHO WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH 

        a. Publicly Shared Information

        They have access to the personal information needed to perform their functions.

        e. Online Advertising Services 
        We use third-party advertising services, like Facebook and Instagram, to deliver advertising about our products and
        services on our Platforms, as well as other websites and applications you use. The ads may be based on information we

        The ads can be based on your recent activity or activity over time and across other sites and services and may be tailored to your interests.

        f. Analytic Services

        We use this data to improve the Platforms and provide information, products and services that may be of interest to you.

        g. Law Enforcement, Legal Process and Compliance
        We may disclose personal information about you:
        (1) if we are required or permitted to do so by applicable law or legal process (such as a court order or subpoena),
        (2) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials to comply with a legitimate legal request,
        (3) when we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss,
        (4) to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights,
        (5) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraud or illegal activity or
        (6) otherwise with your consent.

        h. Change of Ownership
        We reserve the right to transfer to relevant third-parties any information we have about you in the event
        of a potential or actual sale or transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets (including in the event
        of a merger, acquisition, joint venture, reorganization, divestiture, dissolution or liquidation)
        or other business combination. In such case, we will require the relevant third parties to
        provide comparable levels of protection as we provide with respect to the information we share.

4. KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SECURE
We work with third-parties to ensure appropriate security measures are in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorized way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Unfortunately, however, no system can be 100% secured, so we cannot guarantee that communications between you and us or any information provided to us in connection with the data we collect through the Services will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
