Who we are
Our website address is: http://www.girlmeetscode.org.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Non-identifying information
My site uses tools like Google Analytics to collect non-personally-identifying information like your browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of your visit. I do that to better understand who is visiting and how I can make my site more useful.
Forms on my site
I also collect personally-identifying information like your email address, your website URL and your Internet Protocol (IP) addresses when you submit a form. I don’t make this information available and if I don’t need the data, I don’t collect it on the form. I use your personally-identifying information like your email address to reach back to you and reply to your questions.
Your rights
It’s your personal data and you have certain rights relating to it. When it comes to marketing communications, you can ask me not to send you these at any time – by following the unsubscribe instructions contained in the marketing communication, or send your request in the “Contact me” section.
Depending on your country you may have right or choice to:
- Opt out of some collection or uses of your personal data, including the use of cookies and similar technologies, the use of your personal data for marketing purposes, and the anonymization of your personal for data analyses
- Access your personal data, update it, restrict or object to its processing, or request its deletion (see below)
- Receive the personal data you provided to transmit it to another company
- Withdraw any consent provided
- Where applicable, lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority
The length of time I keep your personal data depends on what it is and whether I have an ongoing business need to retain it (for example, to provide you with a service you’ve requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
I’ll retain your personal data for as long as we have a relationship with you and for a period of time afterwards where we have an ongoing business need to retain it, in accordance with our data retention policies and practices. Following that period, I’ll delete or anonymize it.
You can exercise these rights at any time by sending me an email. See the “Contact me” section.
If you’re not happy with how I am processing your personal data, please let me know by sending an email. I will review and investigate your complaint, and get back to you within a reasonable time frame.
Employees, contractors & your information
I only share your personal information in order to process certain purchases where I may be using an employee, contractor or partner to help me fulfill your requests. Each of these folks has agreed to not disclose it to others. I don’t rent or sell your personally-identifying information to anyone, including any partners I may be using (which are listed below).
My partners and your data
Google Analytics – Your browsing data, navigational paths, and time of visit are being captured but anonymized.
Ninja Forms– Your email is being captured when you proactively subscribe using forms on my site. You can change / unsubscribe via every email you get.
YouTube – I enable embedded videos on my site. These sites may capture browser and IP data, but are never passed additional personally-identifying data (like your name/email) from me.
Protecting your data
I am doing everything I can and know of to reasonably protect against any unauthorized access, or use of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
