Thanks for stopping by.

I provide this website under the following conditions:

If you visit and decide to use this website, you agree to accept this Privacy Notice and the Cookie Notice.

Please take some time to read them.

PRIVACY NOTICE

This Privacy Notice is effective as of July 1, 2020.

What you need to know:

I do not rent, sell, or trade your personal information to any third party.

I will send you e-mail only if you have signed up for a mailing list and/or to communicate with you about orders you have placed or information or services you have requested.

As part of normal business operations, I use third-party services for website hosting (Squarespace) and video hosting (Vimeo). I only exchange information with these companies on an as-needed basis.

If you have any questions regarding privacy or data security, please send me an email through my contact page.

Here’s the fine print:

This website is maintained by Alyson Plante, who is based in the United States. 

This Privacy Notice covers my work and this website:
Business Name: Plante Creative Studio
Controller: Alyson Plante
Website: plantecreativestudio.com

I respect the need to treat any personal information that you share with me with a high degree of care, sensitivity, and security. I appreciate your trust.

This website includes services provided by third parties and distributed through the website by virtue of a license, grant, data processing agreement (DPA), or some other form of agreement between the third party and Alyson Plante. In this Privacy Notice, “Plante,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refers to Alyson Plante.

Alyson Plante provides this website under the following conditions.

If you visit and decide to use this website, you agree to accept this Privacy Notice and this COOKIE NOTICE.
Please read them carefully.

INFORMATION COLLECTED, AND HOW I USE IT:

I only collect personal data that you volunteer while using my services. I do not collect information about you from other sources, such as public records or private organizations.

E-mail addresses you provide:

If you supply me with your e-mail address, I will use it only to communicate with you about any inquiries, orders placed, questions you have asked, and/or services or information you have requested.


Regarding e-mails you send:

Please be aware that e-mail is not a secure method of transmitting information; therefore, do not send credit-card information or disclose other sensitive information by e-mail. Alyson Plante is not responsible for any loss or damage that results from interception and/or unauthorized use by third parties of any information that you send by e-mail.


Telephone numbers you provide:

If you supply me with your telephone number, I will use it only to communicate with you about questions you have asked, orders you have placed, and/or services or information you have requested.

Postal addresses you provide:

If you supply me with your postal address, I may use it to contact you regarding orders you have placed or services you have requested. I do not use postal addresses for any other purpose.


Automatic collection of information:

I do not automatically collect personal information. I use Squarespace, a third-party service provider, for website hosting and analysis. I do not utilize the Activity Log in Squarespace for this website, so I do not actively collect or see visitors’ IP addresses or other personal data. For more information about Squarespace’s data-collection practices, refer to their Privacy Policy.

Cookies:

Please see my COOKIE NOTICE for details. The Cookie Notice is part of this Privacy Notice.

Ad servers:

I do not partner with or have special relationships with any ad-server companies.

HOW I SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:

Except as set forth in this Privacy Notice, I will not disclose any personal information you provide.

For legal purposes:

Plante Creative may release personal information as required by law—for example, to comply with a court order. In very limited circumstances, I also may release personal information if I believe in good faith that disclosing such information is necessary to protect the safety of my website visitors, this website, and/or the general public.

Children’s privacy:

Alyson Plante maintains this website for a general audience above the age of 13. I operate the site in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, and do not permit registration by, and will not knowingly collect or use personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. If you are under the age of 13, please do not use this site or send any personal information.

Security and confidentiality:

Squarespace’s security measures help protect against unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, or alteration of your personal information. Access to your personal information is limited to those who need it to perform their duties as part of normal business operations. 

Be aware that there is always some risk when transmitting personal information over the Internet, and no method of storing electronic data is completely secure. A risk remains that others could find a way to thwart security measures. Therefore, despite the fact that I strive to protect your personal information, Plante Creative Studio cannot and does not warrant or guarantee the security or confidentiality of any information you send. You do so at your own risk.

Links to external websites:

Alyson Plante is not responsible for the privacy policies, data-collection practices, contents, or terms of use of other websites to which I link, including social media sites like Instagram, Twitter, and so forth. If you visit external websites, please review their privacy notices, cookie notices, and terms of use.

International visitors:

The personal information you provide will be transferred to and stored in the United States. By submitting your personal information, you consent to its transfer and storage in the United States. You also consent to its use in accordance with the purposes for which it was collected and as set forth in this Privacy Notice.

Changes to this Privacy Notice:

Privacy is a process. If information practices change, I will post the changes on this website. If you are concerned about how your information is being used, please check Squarespace periodically for more information.
