PRIVACY POLICY

 

Privacy Information Notice

At Ximena Zermeño Photography, we’re committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. Our privacy policy is designed to meet the requirements of the State of California, United States federal regulations, and those of the European Union (GDPR.)


This policy explains when and why we collect personal information, how we use it, the conditions under which we may disclose it to others and what choices you have. It relates to all our business activities, not just this website.


We may change this policy from time to time so please check this page occasionally to ensure that you’re happy with any changes. By using our services, you’re agreeing to be bound by this policy.


Any questions regarding this policy and our privacy practices should be sent by email to ximena@ximenazermeno.mx

 

You have a right to know how we handle your data, and you have a “right to be forgotten.” At Ximena Zermeño Photography, we wholeheartedly agree with these rights.


The new General Data Protection Rules (aka “GDPR”) is a law effecting businesses, including websites, worldwide. Effective May 25, 2018, it requires all organizations that store information about a person (which identifies that person specifically, or can be used to do that) to explicitly state how, where, why and so on. Further, that person can demand the information be removed.


The California Consumer Privacy Act, in effect as of January 1, 2020, also includes the GDPR provisions, although it is not in effect world-wide.


All the legal information below points out more specifically what we do with  your information. However, in plain terms, here it is: nothing. Obviously,  we need your information to process you as a member or take payments online. We will never sell your information to anyone.  You have complete control over the information we have on you. If you ask us to delete your information, you are effectively saying that you no longer wish to be a member. (This is of course true for any membership-based organization, not just Ximena Zermeño Photography.)


In short, in order to function as a membership organization, we obviously need to keep your membership information. We have some on our server; Google analyzes our website traffic, but keeps no personally identifying data. We make occasional use of PayPal. We will never share your information with anyone, and it is our understanding the same applies for the others listed above.
