Privacy

Let’s make one thing perfectly clear: your privacy matters. In our technologically driven world, the value of one’s personal privacy is immeasurable and the respect of another’s personal private data is paramount to maintaining a tenable, trusted brand.

For this reason we’ve compiled this Privacy Policy (hereafter labeled the “Policy”) to explain how FarawayHolmes^TM and all other Hemslo Productions associated digital properties that link to this Policy (collectively, the “Brand,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information in connection with our websites (the “Sites”) and related content, services, products, and other features and functionality offered on or through those Sites (collectively, the “Services”).

We may update this Policy periodically to reflect changes to our privacy practices. If we make any material changes to our privacy practices, we will indicate at the top of this Policy page the date when it was most recently updated and you shall be bound to such changes when accessing the Services that are linked to the updated Policy. We may also provide notice of such material changes in other manners at our discretion. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.

What Personal Information Do We Collect?

We collect and maintain information—including personal information—about you directly from you, automatically when you use our websites and services, and from our Third-Party Partners. Let’s explore each of these in more detail.

Voluntarily Collected Information

The personal information we collect from and about you may vary depending on how you engage with our Services and the information you provide voluntarily. We may collect personal information directly from you or otherwise in connection with your use of the Services, such as:

Contact Information: your name, contact details (such as a postal address, email address, or phone number), event registration and related information (including photos and videos taken at events), and communication preferences.
Inquiry Information: information provided in messages sent through forms or surveys, to our email addresses, or via phone. This also may include information provided when you sign up for our newsletters.
User-Generated Content: any personal information you choose to provide about yourself when you participate in forums or discussions on the Services, post comments or reviews, and participate in any Services. Please be aware that information you post may be viewed, used, or captured by anyone who visits the Services; therefore, we strongly discourage you from posting sensitive personal information that you would not want to be available to the public.
Survey Information: information provided in any responses submitted through surveys or questionnaires, or the content of any testimonials.
Inferences About Your Interests, Preferences, and Other Behavioral Data: This includes data regarding your hobbies, interests, and characteristics inferred from your interaction with our Services.

At this time, we do not operate or manage our own point-of-sale system; therefore, we do not collect any financial information such as credit/debit card information, bank account or routing numbers, or billing/shipping addresses.

Our Sites operate without the need for users to create an online account directly with our Brand; therefore, we do not presently collect account information such as usernames, account IDs, or passwords. Any paid products we offer are sold via trusted Third-Party Partners who handle your personal financial data pursuant their independent privacy practices.

Automatically Collected Information

As is the case for many digital properties, we and our third-party partners may automatically collect information you provide to us, as well as information about your device and use of the Service, when you visit or interact with our Services. We, and our third-party partners, use cookies and other tracking technologies (e.g., pixels, SDKs, APIs, scripts, location-identifying technologies, and logging technologies) in connection with our Services to collect and store the information described in this section (and otherwise expanded upon in other sections) for our, and our Third-Party Partners’, purposes.

Types of information automatically collected include:

Device data: internet protocol (IP) address, operating system, device type and version, browser type and version, browser id, the URL entered, the referring page, date/time of visit, other user agent string data, the time spent on our Services, and any errors that may occur during the visit to our Services. Device data may overlap with the other categories of data listed below.
Analytics/Usage data: the path taken to our Services, through our Services, and when exiting our Services, usage and activity on or in connection with our Services (e.g., pages visited, links clicked, videos watched), metrics on how many emails we send are actually opened and which attachments or links are opened, clicked, or viewed (such as via pixels, as described further below). We may also use third-party tools to collect information you provide to us or information about how you use the Services, including mouse movements, scrolling, clicks, and keystroke activity on the Services and other browsing, search, or purchasing behavior. These tools may also record information you enter when you interact with our Services or engage in chat or other features through our Services.
Location data: geographic location we or our third-party partners may collect, such as via permissions within the app operating system or browser functionality.
Advertising (measurement) data: data associated with your view of, or your clicks on, advertisements served on our Services, cookie IDs or other digital or proprietary identifiers (e.g., iOS IDFA, Google AAID) assigned to such device, and device metadata, analytics/usage data, and location data described above, in each case, for purposes of serving advertising (personalized or otherwise) or facilitating advertising measurement/attribution to better optimize or otherwise understand the effectiveness of ad campaigns.

Third-Party Sources

We also obtain personal information from third parties, which we often combine with personal information we collect either automatically or directly from an individual. We may receive the same categories of personal information described above from the following third parties:

Business Partners: We may receive your information from our business partners, such as companies that offer their products or services on our Services or on other properties (e.g., digital properties, offline locations) or marketing/advertising and analytics partners, including third-party brands/agencies or other partners that facilitate the buying and selling of advertising inventory on our Services, measure of the effectiveness of those related ad campaigns, or inform business analytics (e.g., view rates, bounce rates, audience composition).
Social Media Networks: When an individual interacts with our Services through various social media networks, such as when someone logs in through a social network, or follows us or shares our content on Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or other social networks, we may receive some information from those social networks including your profile information and any other information you permit the social network to share with third parties. We use this information to allow you to log into your account, to communicate or interact with individuals on the social network, to better understand the demographics of our visitors, and to personalize content and advertising. Individuals should always review and, if necessary, adjust their privacy settings on third-party websites and social media networks and services before sharing information or linking or connecting them to other services.
Information We Receive From Authentication Services: Some parts of our Service may allow you to login through a third-party social network or authentication service such as Facebook or Google. These services will authenticate the individual’s identity and provide the option to share certain personal information with us, which could include a name, email address, address book and contacts, or other information. The data we receive is dependent on that third party’s policies and the individual’s privacy settings on that third-party digital property. We use this information to authenticate the individual’s account, to provide our Services, to communicate with our users, and for advertising and marketing purposes. As previously stated, our Sites operate without the need for users to create an online account directly with our Brand; therefore, we do not presently collect account information such as usernames, account IDs, or passwords.
Service Providers: Our service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as payment processors or survey and third parties who conduct marketing/advertising and analytics activities on our behalf, collect personal information and may share some or all of this information with us.
Information Providers: We may, from time to time, obtain information from third-party information providers to correct or supplement personal information we collect. For example, we may obtain updated contact information from third-party information providers to reconnect with an individual or obtain demographic information (e.g., interests, preferences).
Other Sources: We may also collect personal information about individuals that we do not otherwise have from publicly available sources, such as third-party data providers, brand partnerships, or through transactions such as mergers and acquisitions.
Other Users: Ultimately, we may even receive your information from other users who interact with our Services. For example, your relative could register you for a newsletter on your behalf.

Data Collection from Minors

We do not knowingly collect data about children under the age of 16 or minors otherwise defined in local law or regulation without verifiable parental consent. If we learn that someone under 16 has given us their data, we will take reasonable measures to delete all such data.

How We Use Your Information

We may use your information for various purposes, including:

To personalize your experience on our Services: This includes providing you with content or other products or services you might be interested in and de-emphasize content you’ve already read or viewed.
For marketing purposes: We may send you communications about new features, updates, products, and special offers. We may also use your information to serve you ads about our products or other products or services we (or our Third-Party Partners) think you might find interesting. We may also use individual and aggregate information about you to inform our, and our Third-Party Partners, marketing and advertising campaigns more broadly. For more information on your choices about marketing communications, continue here.
To communicate with you: For example, we may communicate with you about your account activities, such as by providing you transaction confirmations or alerting you when a subscription is up for renewal. If you register with us, we may enroll you in our email newsletters or other periodic electronic communications and may also send you user surveys and promotional communications. We may communicate with you by email, postal mail, telephone, text message, or other means. We may use push notifications on Apps to your mobile device. For more information on how to adjust your communications preferences, see below.
To monitor, improve, and develop our products and services: We may use your information to understand our users and to tailor or optimize our Services. For example, we may analyze statistics and trends to make our Services better and to develop or better personalize the Services or new services or features.
To protect the security and integrity of our business, comply with legal requirements and obligations, or as otherwise permitted by law: We may use your information to protect our company, our affiliates, our associated brands, our customers, and our Services. We may also use information in order to comply with laws, regulations, court orders, or other legal obligations or to assist in an investigation, protect and defend our rights and property, or the rights or safety of third parties, enforce our Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy, or agreements with third parties, detect and prevent fraud or for crime-prevention purposes, or for any other reason permitted by law. We may take part in or be involved with a corporate business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, joint venture, or financing or sale of company assets and may use information in connection with or as an asset in such a corporate business transaction. Personal information may also be used in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership.
For any other purposes with your consent, at your direction, or where notice is provided: We may use your personal information for any other purposes with your consent, at your direction, or where notice is otherwise provided.

Data Retention

We keep your data for as long as we need to in order to provide you Services and to comply with our business and legal obligations. To work out how long we need to keep your data, we consider the amount of data, the type of data, the risks that unintended use or disclosure could bring, and whether we can do what we need to by using less data, and other legal reasons. When we no longer need your data for our stated purposes, we securely delete it.

How We Share Personal Information

The personal information we collect from you is used by Hemslo Productions and may also be disclosed to the following third parties:

Third Parties At Your Request: You may choose to share your activities on the Services with your friends through email, text, or on various social media networks.
Promotional Partners: We may share information with third parties with whom we partner to provide surveys or other joint promotional activities.
Marketing and Strategic Business Partners: We may share information with marketing/advertising, analytics, and other business partners (such as those that provide their own products or services on other properties) for purposes such as us or those entities providing you with information, undertaking marketing/advertising activities about products or services that may interest you, informing business analytics, or for other business or commercial purposes as may be further described in their privacy policies or our privacy policy.
Online Advertising Partners: We may share information with third-party online advertising partners or permit these partners to collect information from you on our Services to facilitate online advertising and related measurement/attribution activities.
The Public: When you provide feedback or post user content on our Services (e.g., if you post a comment on an article or comment on our social media sites), your information (e.g., your first name, last initial, state of residence, and your comments) may be displayed on our Services or on our social media pages. When you engage with us on social media, we may tag your social media account or the social media account of others (e.g., to give photo credit to another user).
With Your Consent, At Your Direction, or Where Notice is Provided: In addition to the sharing described in this Privacy Policy, we may share information about you with third parties whenever you consent to or direct such sharing or where notice is otherwise provided.
Service Providers and Advisors: Personal information may be shared with third-party vendors and other service providers who perform services for us or on our behalf. This may include certain vendors and providers who engage in marketing or advertising activities, analytics, or provide mailing or email services, tax and accounting services, product fulfillment, delivery services, payments processing, data enhancement services, fraud prevention, web hosting, or analytic services.
Purchasers and Third Parties in Connection With a Business Transaction: Personal information may be disclosed to third parties in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, sale of any or all of our company assets or shares, reorganization, financing, change of control or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by an affiliate or Third-Party Partner, or in the event of a bankruptcy, or related or similar proceedings.
Law Enforcement, Regulators and Other Parties For Legal Reasons: Personal information may be disclosed to third parties, as required by law or subpoena, or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement; (b) to enforce our Terms of Use or to protect the security or integrity of our Services; or (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of our organization, our visitors, or others.

In connection with any of the above, we may share information with others in an aggregated or otherwise anonymized form that does not reasonably identify you.

Sale of Personal Data

We do not sell, rent, or loan your personal data to third parties for money; however, subject to your privacy choices, we may share your data (Identifiers, Internet or Network Activity Data, and Geolocation Information, e) to social media platforms, analytics providers, and advertising companies, and this may be treated as a “sale” under certain regional laws within certain jurisdictions.

Third-Party Partners & Online Advertisements

We, and our third-party partners, use information that we receive about you (e.g., that you provide to us or about your use of the Services, or that we receive from third parties) to serve advertisements more relevant to your interests, the content on which the ads will appear, or audiences similar to you, to optimize marketing and advertising campaigns more broadly, as well as to generate analytics and provide marketing/advertising-related services such as reporting, market research, and measurement/attribution. These third-party partners may include online advertising networks or exchanges, measurement/attribution companies, ad fraud verification companies, social media companies, or other advertising technology services (e.g., demand-side or sell-side platforms, ad servers, clean room providers).

More On Social Media Platforms and Advertising

Our Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter/X, or other widgets. These social media companies may recognize you and collect information about your visit to our Services, and they may set a cookie or employ other tracking technologies. Your interactions with those features are governed by the privacy policies of those companies.

We display targeted advertising to you through social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, and other social media platforms. For example, these companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our services while those users are on the social media platform, or to groups of other users who share similar traits, such as likely commercial interests and demographics. As mentioned in the section above, we may share a unique identifier, such as a user ID or hashed or encrypted email address or phone number, with these platform providers or they may collect information from our website visitors through a pixel (or other mechanism, such as API, direct file upload, or server-to-server integration), in order to direct targeted advertising to you or to a custom audience (including “look-a-like” audiences, such as audiences that are similar to you or other users) on the social media platform. These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies that provide them. If you do not want to receive targeted ads on your social networks, you may be able to adjust your advertising preferences through your settings on those networks.

Third-Party Data Collection Procedures

The information used for these advertising practices is typically collected through tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons/pixels, SDKs, APIs, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, logging technologies, and similar technologies, which recognize the device you are using and collect information, including clickstream information, browser type, time and date you visited the Sites, mobile ad ID or other digital identifier (e.g., iOS IDFA, Google AAID, cookie ID, click ID, other proprietary IDs such as open-source “universal IDs” or other ID solutions), geolocation, and other information, such as the advertising/advertising measurement data discussed further above in this Policy. These tools may also collect other information you provide to us or other information about how you use the Services, such as your mouse movements, scrolling, clicks, and keystroke activity on the Services and other browsing, search, or purchasing behavior. These tools may also record information you enter when you interact with our Services or engage in chat or other features through our Service.

We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed or encrypted email address or user ID) or other information (such as phone number, which also is typically provided in hashed or encrypted format) with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices. We may share this information using mechanisms such as API, direct file upload, server-to-server transfer, or integrating the tracking technologies of those partners (e.g., pixel).

How We Secure Your Information

We strive to keep your information safe and secure. We use tools and techniques to monitor and protect the data we collect and use about you. We also have rules in place to make sure that your data can only be used by those who have valid business reasons, such as providing our Services to you.

While we work hard to protect your data, it’s important to know that no method of sending data online or storing it is perfect. Sometimes things can happen beyond our control. If we ever need to tell you about a problem with your data, we will do our best to notify you.

Furthermore, while we do not currently offer account-based services on any of our Sites linked to this Policy, some of our Third-Party Partners require an account to access the full functionality of their platforms. For this reason, you must always take care to secure all passwords and to never share your passwords with anyone. You are responsible for making sure nobody else can access your account using your password or device.

Linked digital properties controlled by our Third-Party Partners may have their own privacy notices or policies, which we suggest you review. We are not responsible for the content, usage, terms, or privacy policies of digital properties that we do not own or control.

How To Control Your Information

You have the right to request access to your personal information, amendment/correction of inaccurate/incomplete personal information, or deletion of your personal information. In order to better protect the security of your personal information, we will seek to confirm your identity as part of our processing of any request. Under certain circumstances, we may not fulfill your request, such as where we, in our discretion, deem that your identity has not been reasonably verified or that such information is subject to legal/regulatory, internal audit, record-keeping, or other requirements or legal exceptions such that the request should not reasonably be granted (or should be granted in part). In any event, we will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

In order to make such a request of us, please contact us by email development@adriandholmes.com for assistance on exercising rights requests.

Marketing Preferences

While we do not currently engage in email marketing at this time, in the event that we do begin the practice, you will be able to manage your opt-out preferences for each of our brand’s marketing e-mails by using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of one of the email messages, or by submitting a global opt-out of marketing e-mails (i.e., across our brands) by clicking on a link to a form we will provide when this service is initiated. This form is not currently active as we do not offer email marketing at this time.

If you no longer want to receive third-party marketing e-mails that you requested through our Services, simply follow the third party’s unsubscribe link or opt-out instructions included in each such marketing e-mail from that third party.

Please note that you cannot opt out of transactional or administrative e-mails (e.g., renewal notifications, orders placed). We do not engage in postal mail advertising. We do not currently maintain any database of mailing/billing addresses.

We do not engage in the practice of telemarketing phone calls or SMS messaging, nor do we maintain a database of phone numbers for marketing purposes. While certain reputable organizations may find these practices useful, we understand that many consumers view such activity as outdated and predatory. As such, our Brand refuses to engage in telemarketing, nor do we intend to collect data for the intention of telemarketing.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

To manage cookies, an individual may have the ability to change their browser settings to (for example): (i) notify them when they receive a cookie, so the individual can choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) automatically reject cookies (or certain types of cookies, such as cookies set by third parties). Note that similar controls may exist for other tracking technologies, such as pixels, SDKs, and localStorage. Please check your device or browser settings and related documentation for more information.

Further, note that restricting the use of these technologies might negatively impact an individual’s experience using our Services, as some features or offerings may be less personalized or may not work as otherwise intended. Depending on an individual’s device and operating system, the individual may not be able to delete or block all cookies or other tracking technologies described in this Policy. In addition, if an individual wants to reject cookies across all browsers and devices, the individual will need to do so on each browser and device they use. You may also have options within your email client to prevent the automatic downloading of images that may contain technologies that would allow us to know whether you have accessed our email and performed certain actions with respect to such emails (e.g., URL clickthroughs).

Online Ads

To learn more about interest-based advertising and how you may be able to opt-out of some of this advertising (to the extent the advertising partner or other entity participates in such industry opt-out pages), you may wish to visit the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) resources at https://www.aboutads.info/choices (or https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ or https://youradchoices.ca/en/tools for the EEA and Canada, respectively) or the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) online resources at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.

You can also opt-out of receiving some interest-based advertisements on mobile apps by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. You may also be able to opt-out of some interest-based advertising served by participating mobile ad networks by visiting https://youradchoices.com/appchoices and downloading the mobile AppChoices app.

USA: State-Specific Rights & Protections

Within the United States, several state legislatures have passed laws granting their residents rights and protections pertaining to their interactions with online entities and businesses. This section supplements the information contained in our Privacy Policy by providing additional information under such laws. We recognize that we must remain compliant with such legislation as a majority of our Site users originate from within the United States.

California

In 2018, California consumers were granted a new set of privacy protections, giving them more control over the personal information that businesses collect about them. This landmark legislation—titled the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA)—was further amended in 2020 by Proposition 24, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), though collectively this legislation retains the moniker of CCPA. Pursuant to the CCPA, this section shall serve as our notice at collection.

The following list advises you of the types of Personal Information (“PI”) that may have been collected by us about you within the past twelve (12) months, possible sources of such information, and our commercial purpose for collecting and disclosing such information. This shall serve as our Notice at Collection for California Residents.

For each of the aforementioned categories, we will retain your PI for as long as needed or permitted, depending on the purpose for obtaining that data and consistent with applicable laws. We will keep your PI for as long as we have a relationship with you (e.g. to provide you with the Services or to complete transactions that you request). Once our relationship with you has come to an end, we will retain your PI for a period of time that enables us to:

Requests to Know, Delete or Correct PI: If the agent submits a request, the agent will need to provide us with your signed permission indicating the agent has been authorized to submit the request on your behalf. We will also require that you verify your identity directly with us or confirm with us that you provided the agent with permission to submit the request. Please reach out to development@adriandholmes.com and provide the first and last name and email address of the individual engaging you as their agent, along with a copy of the signed permission to act as their agent.
Requests to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: If the agent submits a request to opt out of the sale of your PI or the sharing of your PI for purposes of cross-context behavioral marketing, the agent will need to provide us with your signed permission indicating the agent has been authorized to submit the opt-out request on your behalf. Please reach out to development@adriandholmes.com and provide the first and last name and email address of the individual engaging you as their agent, along with a copy of the signed permission to act as their agent.

Please understand that this subsection does not apply when an agent is authorized to act on your behalf pursuant to a valid power of attorney. Any such requests will be processed in accordance with California law pertaining to powers of attorney.

Colorado

The Colorado Privacy Act (CPA)—a part of the State of Colorado’s Consumer Protection Act—went into effect on 1 July 2023. The CPA grants Colorado Consumers new rights with respect to their personal data, including the right to access, delete, and correct their personal data as well as the right to opt out of the sale of their Personal Information (“PI”) or its use for targeted advertising or certain kinds of profiling. The CPA also places new obligations on covered entities to safeguard PI, including the requirement to give Coloradans meaningful information about the collection and use of their PI, to conduct data protection assessments, and to obtain consent before processing certain sensitive PI.

Under the CPA, Colorado consumers gain additional insight into what PI controllers collect, share and sell, and how that data is used. Additionally, Colorado consumers have the following enumerated rights with respect to their PI:

The right to opt-out from the sale of their PI, or use of personal data for targeted advertising and certain types of profiling;
The right to know whether a controller is collecting PI;
The right to access PI that a controller has collected about them;
The right to correct PI;
The right to delete PI; and
The right to data portability (i.e. the right to download and remove PI from a platform in a format that allows the transfer to another platform).

For clarity, in this section of our Policy, we consider “Personal Information” or “PI” to have the same meaning as “personal data” as defined under the CPA.

If you wish to exercise your rights listed above, you may contact us at development@adriandholmes.com. We will respond to within 45 days of receiving your request. If reasonably necessary, a controller may extend this period by an additional 45 days, though the controller must inform the consumer of the extension within the original 45-day period and provide reasons for delay. We promise to treat you fairly. If you exercise your rights under this Policy, you will not be denied or charged different prices or rates for goods or services or provided a different level or quality of goods or services than others.

International Rights & Protections

Your Canadian Rights

While our Brand is American based, we recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship and respect for the customary Internet practices of our international neighbors. A significant percentage of our Site visitors and Service users originate from Canada. For this reason, this Policy acknowledges the protections our Canadian users enjoy under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Under Canadian law, you have the right to access any personal information we hold about you. If you have any questions, or complaints, regarding the collection or use of your personal information or the content of this policy, or if you wish to withdraw your consent to us using your data, you are welcome to request access to and/or correct your information by emailing us at development@adriandholmes.com. Please note that we may require you to send us proof of your identity before providing you with access to your personal information. If you send us a request to access or correct information, we will contact you within 30 days (although it may take us longer to fully respond to your request).

Our Policy makes clear that we may share information with third parties, such as co-branded partners and authorized third parties; however, we will only share your information with such parties where we have your express or implied consent to do so. If you object to our sharing your information with such parties, or if you do not wish to receive marketing communications (such as emails) from us or our Third-Party Partners, then you may contact us to let us know your objection at any time.

If you are not satisfied with our response to your query or complaint, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) here.
