Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Tanefu Hawuta ("we," "us," or "our"), operating at tanefu-hawuta.info, collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information when you visit our website. We are committed to protecting the privacy of all users in accordance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where applicable. Please read this policy carefully.

1. Information We Collect

When you interact with our website, we may collect two broad categories of information: personal information and non-personal technical data. Personal information refers to data that can identify you as an individual, such as your name and email address. We collect this only when you voluntarily provide it, for example by submitting our contact form.

Technical and usage data collected automatically includes cookies and similar tracking technologies, your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and time spent on each page. This data is collected by our web analytics tools and helps us understand how visitors use the site. It does not, by itself, identify you personally.

If you contact us via the contact form on our website, we collect the name, email address, and message content you provide. This information is transmitted directly to our email inbox and is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not store contact form submissions in a database separate from standard email retention.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes. Contact form information is used exclusively to respond to your inquiry and, if you consent, to follow up on related questions. We do not use your contact information to send marketing communications unless you have separately and explicitly opted in to receive them. Technical and usage data is used to maintain and improve the website, analyze user experience patterns, and ensure technical functionality.

We may use analytics services to help us understand aggregate usage patterns. These services may set their own cookies and collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not sell, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

3. Legal Basis and Applicable Law

Our website is operated in the United States and is subject to US federal law. For users in California, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). For users in other states with applicable privacy laws, including Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), and Texas (TDPSA), we apply the protections described in this policy consistently. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

4. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Email correspondence is retained according to standard business email retention practices. Technical usage data collected through analytics tools is retained according to the configuration of those tools, typically between 14 months and 26 months. You may request deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us at [email protected].

5. Your Rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information. California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion of their personal information, the right to opt out of the sale of their personal information (we do not sell personal information), and the right to non-discrimination for exercising their privacy rights under the CCPA. Residents of other states with applicable privacy laws have similar rights under their respective statutes.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] or by mail at 830 Main St #401, Cincinnati, OH 45202. We will respond to verifiable requests within the timeframe required by applicable law, typically within 45 days.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information we hold against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include secure transmission protocols for data in transit. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to tanefu-hawuta.info. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
