Website Privacy Policy
Introduction
We, Paula Gordon (site owner) and Studio Z (site design and hosting
service), in consideration of your right to be informed about what kind
of data this website collects, post this Website Privacy
Policy to describe what kind of personal information we collect
online and what we do with it.
We respect the five core Principles of Privacy Protection outlined by the US Federal Trade Commission in its document, Fair Information Practice Principles (available at https://web.archive.org/web/20090205180646/http://ftc.gov:80/reports/privacy3/fairinfo.shtm):
(1) Notice/Awareness,
(2) Choice/Consent,
(3) Access/Participation,
(4) Integrity/Security, and
(5) Enforcement/Redress.
Type of information we collect
We do not collect any information from you via this website. You can contact Paula Gordon via the methods
listed on the Contact page or by regular mail at the address below. In that case, you can provide
as much or as little information as you like.
We do not ask for credit card information, Social Security numbers, or other personally identifiable information on
this website, nor do our commercial procedures require us to collect
that information from you by any means. (August 2022.)
This site is hosted on WebHost4Life, a commercial service, over which we have no control. We are pleased to note that WebHost4Life is GDPR compliant as of May 23, 2018. Please refer to their privacy policy for more information.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to
your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow).
These small files enable the site's and/or service provider's systems to
recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information,
such as a visitor's geographical location.
This site does not use cookies to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction.
We do not contract with third-party service providers to help us better understand who our site visitors are and how they use the site. Additionally, as of the most recent privacy policy update (August 2022), no such service is being contemplated.
If you prefer, you can adjust the settings in your browser to trigger a
warning each time a cookie is being sent or to reject all cookies
automatically. If your browser is set to reject cookies, some website
features on this and other sites may not function properly. On this
site, we anticipate that the only feature to be disabled would be the
feature that shows links already visited in a different color, but there
may be other disruptions.
We aspire to be in compliance with the California Online Privacy
Protection Act, which would give you the option of visiting this site
anonymously.
(Update on 9 July 2016: Proxy servers disable Javascript, so some features may not be available when viewing the site anonymously; for example, links and popups might not work.)
How we use your information
The information we collect from you may be used in any of the following ways:
- Most importantly, the information you voluntarily provide via this
website will be used to respond to your requests for information and/or
services.
- As well, we collect and compile comments and feedback,
which visitors may voluntarily provide, in order to enhance our
services, improve our website, and provide customer service.
- Finally, automated use of cookies may be used to personalize your experience of this website each time you
visit, and may at some point be used by us to improve our appearance in searches,
page rank, and internal site navigation (although that is unlikely; see "Cookies" section above).
Your e-mail address
The email address you provide for order processing (e.g., PayPal), if it
is different from your correspondence address, will only be used for
the express purpose of conducting a specific transaction, and will be
removed from the system upon completion of that transaction.
The email address you provide for correspondence will be used to respond
to inquiries and to send information and updates pertaining to your
project and commercial transactions with us.
Your correspondence e-mail address may also be used to follow up on open inquiries and to inform you about the status of any specific services you have contacted us about in the past.
Note: If at any time you would like to stop receiving unsolicited
e-mails from us, please reply to any e-mail we have sent in the past and
type "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the body of the e-mail—preferably at the top.
We will place your e-mail address on our "Do Not Mail" list.
How we protect your information
We do not ask for credit card information or social security numbers on
this website, nor do our commercial procedures require us to collect
that information from you by any means or for any purpose. Credit card
payments are handled via reputable third parties.
(As of August 2022.)
Name, address, contact information, project information: This information is
stored in electronic form on-site at business premises, at a workstation
with restricted access. The data is maintained and secured in accordance

Personally identifiable information: We do not sell, trade, or otherwise
transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information
without notice and consent, with two exceptions:
(1) For the express purpose of delivering the service requested. We may
share your information with trusted third parties who assist us in
operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, as
long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
(2) For legal purposes. We may release your information when we believe
release is appropriate to comply with the law, to enforce our site
policies, or to protect our own or others' rights, property, or safety.
Non-personally identifiable information: Non-personally identifiable
site-visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing,
advertising, or other uses. However, as of this update (August 2022), no such use is occurring or contemplated.
We comply with the California Online Privacy Protection Act
Since we operate a commercial website or online service that collects
personally identifiable information through the Internet about
individual consumers residing in California who visit our website, our
