PLEASE REVIEW THIS POLICY CAREFULLY
The following describes how Smithwick House LLC (“Smithwick House,” “Art & Wick,” “Art and Wick,” “I,” “me” or “my”) uses and disseminates information you provide through www.smithwickhouse.com and its sub-domains and affiliated sites, as well as Smithwick House LLC pages and accounts on Twitter®, Facebook®, LinkedIn®, Google Plus®, Instagram® and YouTube® (the “Sites). If you ever have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact me at the information below. Please also review my full Terms and Conditions of Use, which also govern your use of the Sites. By using this Site, you are consenting to this Privacy Policy.
COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.
Unless we expressly note otherwise, we do not collect personally identifiable information from users of our Sites. “Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household, not including publicly available information or de-identified or aggregate consumer information. When you visit our Sites, some information about your computer hardware and software is inherently automatically collected, such as your IP address, domain name, browser type, access time and referring website addresses. We typically do not use this information for any purpose, but an example of when we may use this information is in implementing improvements and analyzing the Sites and for troubleshooting purposes. We also utilize this information to monitor and improve services and to ensure that your use of the Sites is in compliance with our Terms of Use. Most of our services do not require any form of registration, allowing you to visit the Sites without telling us who you are. However, some services, such as email opt-ins may require you to provide us with Personal Data. In such a case, you may choose to withhold any Personal Data requested by us, but it may not be possible for you to gain access to certain parts of the site or content. We require only the information that is reasonably required to enter into a contract with you. We will not require you to provide consent for any unnecessary processing as a condition of entering into a contract with us. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be processed also in the context of such transactions and for the purpose of executing the transactions.
LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING
The above processing activities will be carried out only when one or more of the following legal bases apply:
the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract;
you have provided your consent to one or more processing activities;
the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject;
the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests. Details on the legitimate interests pursued by us are available upon request, to be forwarded at the contact details stated in this Privacy Policy.
When the processing is based on your consent, you are free to decide on whether or not to grant your consent and you will be entitled to withdraw the consent at any time, as described in this Privacy Policy.
When the processing is based on our legitimate interest, you will be entitled to exercise your right to opt-out or object to the processing at any time, as described in this Privacy Policy.
INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY LAWS AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE GDPR
If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that you are sending information to the United States where my servers are located. Information you submit may then be transferred within the United States or back out of the United States to other countries outside of your country of residence, depending on the type of information and how it is stored by me. These countries (including the United States) may not necessarily have data protection laws as comprehensive protective as your country of residence; however, my collection, storage, and use of your data will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy.
If you are a member of the European Union (EU), you have special rights under the GDPR. Those include: You have the right to object to the processing of your data and the right to portability of your data. All complaints must be sent to houseofsmithwick@gmail.com. You also have the right to erasure, rectification, access, or to seek restrictions to the processing of your personal data in our system. To the extent you provide consent to our processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Any withdrawal of consent does not apply to data collected lawfully prior to such consent. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority containing jurisdiction over GDPR related issues. If you do withdraw consent, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that was based on your consent before its withdrawal. In addition to the foregoing, you have the right under the GDPR to lodge a complaint in respect of your data protection rights with the applicable supervisory authority for data protection in your jurisdiction. If you are in the United Kingdom, that supervisory authority is the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office: https://ico.org.uk/.

However, no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
