YOUR SECURITY 

We strive to keep your Personal Information private and safe.

TARGETED ADVERTISING AND REMARKETING

You may see advertisements for our products on other websites and mobile applications because we work with third party advertisers to engage in remarketing and retargeting activities. Through our relationships with these advertisers, we can target messaging to our users by interest-based, demographic, contextual, and other means. These third party advertisers track your online activities over time and across websites and mobile applications by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of third-party cookies, web server logs, and web beacons. They use this information to show you advertisements that may be tailored to your individual interests. The information our advertising partners may collect includes data about your visits to websites and mobile applications that participate in the relevant advertising networks, such as the pages or advertisements you view and the actions you take on the websites or apps. This data collection takes place both on our Sites and on third-party websites and mobile applications that participate in the advertising networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. Some third-party advertising companies may be advertising networks that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offer a single location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies (www.networkadvertising.org). If you are a California resident, you may ask us to refrain from sharing your information with certain of our affiliates and other third parties for their marketing purposes.  See the “Notice for California Residents” section below for additional information.

Our Sites may contain links to websites operated by third parties, or you may have come to our Sites using a link found in another website. This does not mean that we endorse these websites or the goods or services they provide. We do not make any representations or warranties about any website that may be linked to the Site. Such other websites are independent from us, and we have no control over, or responsibility for, their information, products or activities. Our privacy practices may differ from those of these other websites.

We and you agree that in the event of any dispute, the party wishing to address the dispute must contact the other party in writing, including by e-mail, and advise the other party of the dispute in reasonable detail as well as informing the other party of the remedy being sought. We may send you notices via the email address or physical address you provide to us, and all notices to us shall be sent to the email address info@ninarunsdorf.com and include the words “DISPUTE NOTICE” in the subject. The parties shall then make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution. In the event that the dispute is not resolved through this procedure, the party raising the dispute may proceed to mandatory arbitration as set forth below.

Arbitration

ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this Privacy Policy, except for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, NOT a judge or jury. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Privacy Policy, including with respect to the interpretation of any provision of this Privacy Policy or other agreements between you and us, or concerning the performance or obligations of you and us, shall be resolved by mandatory and binding arbitration submitted to JAMS in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules at the request of either us or you pursuant to the following conditions:

  • Place of Arbitration Hearings. Unless you elect to conduct the arbitration by telephone or written submission, an in-person arbitration hearing will conducted at a JAMS facility in your area or at a JAMS facility in New York, New York.
  • Selection of Arbitrator shall be made pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures or JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures, depending on the amount of the claim as specified herein.
  • Conduct of Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator under JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. For claims exceeding $5,000.00, the arbitration shall be conducted under JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures Subject to the applicable JAMS procedure, the arbitrator shall allow reasonable discovery in the forms permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to the extent consistent with the purpose of the arbitration. The arbitrator(s) shall have no power or authority to amend or disregard any provision of this section or any other provision of these Terms of Service, except as necessary to comply with JAMS’ Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness. The arbitration hearing shall be commenced promptly and conducted expeditiously. If more than one day is necessary, the arbitration hearing shall be conducted on consecutive days unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.
  • Findings and Conclusions. The arbitrator(s) shall, after reaching judgment and award, prepare and distribute to the parties written findings of fact and conclusions of law relevant to such judgment and award and containing an opinion setting forth the reasons for the giving or denial of any award. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction.
  • Costs and Fees. You will be subject to a filing fee, set by JAMS, to initiate the arbitration. To the extent permitted by JAMS procedures, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrators’ and administrative fees of arbitration, and we will remain responsible for its share of costs, expenses and fees plus any costs, expenses and fees required under JAMS procedures.
  • Litigation. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. Either party also may, without waiving any remedy under these Terms, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that party, pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal (or pending the arbitral tribunal’s determination of the merits of the controversy).

Class-Action Waiver

Any arbitration, claim or other proceedings by or between you and us shall be conducted on an individual basis and not in any class action, mass action, or on a consolidated or representative basis. You further agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award class-wide relief or to combine or aggregate similar claims or unrelated transactions. You acknowledge and agree that this agreement specifically prohibits you from commencing arbitration proceedings as a representative of others. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, each party waives any right to a jury trial. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

PART 4 – INFORMATION APPLICABLE TO EUROPEAN UNION & UNITED KINGDOM RESIDENTS ONLY

This section is only applicable to you if you are a resident of the European Union or the United Kingdom

If you are located in the European Union, our processing of your Personal Information (also known as “Personal Data” under European law) is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”). If you are located in the United Kingdom, our processing is governed by the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (the “DPA”).

As part of our obligations under GDPR and the DPA, we are required to inform you about our use of your Personal Information.  Much of the information we are required to provide is covered elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. However, there are some important aspects which differ, depending on the data protection laws that apply where you live. If the information in another part of this Privacy Policy contradicts the information in this EU section, please note that this EU section will apply if you are an EU resident. The EU section will cover the following points:

  • Marketing and sharing your Personal Information;
  • International transfers;
  • How long we keep your Personal Information; and
  • Your rights as a data subject.
  • What to do if you wish to make a complaint

Marketing. We may use your Personal Information to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you.  This is how we decide which services and offers may be relevant for you.   You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased good or services from us and you have opted out of receiving that marketing.  We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your Personal Information with any third party for marketing purposes.  

International Transfers. We are a US company, and therefore our service and most of our service providers may be based outside of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”).  Your Personal Information will likely be transferred outside of the EEA.  We make this transfer: to perform our contract with you, deliver our Site to you or provide you with any services thereunder; or where you have explicitly consented to the proposed transfer. 

By submitting your Personal Information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. If you would like more information about how the mechanism via which your Personal Information is transferred, please contact info@ninarunsdorf.com.

Data Retention. We will hold your Personal Information on our systems only for as long as required to provide you with the services you have requested, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.  We may retain your Personal Information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you. 

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements. In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your Personal Information: see below for more information.

YOUR RIGHTS

As a data subject you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. Below, we have described the various rights that you have, as well as how you can exercise them.

Your Right of Access: You may, at any time, request access your Personal Information that we hold (you may have heard of this right being described as a "subject access request").  Please note that this right entitles you to receive a copy of the Personal Information that we hold about you in order to enable you to check that it is correct and to ensure that we are processing that Personal Information lawfully. It is not a right that allows you to request Personal Information about other people, or a right to request specific documents from us that do not relate to your Personal Information.  You can exercise this right at any time by writing to us by contacting us and telling us that you are making a subject access request. You do not have to fill in a specific form to make this kind of request.

Your Right to Rectification and Erasure: You may, at any time, request that we correct Personal Information that we hold about you which you believe is incorrect or inaccurate. You may also ask us to erase Personal Information if you do not believe that we need to continue retaining it (you may have heard of this right described as the “right to be forgotten”).  Please note that we may ask you to verify any new data that you provide to us and may take our own steps to check that the new data you have supplied us with is right. Further, we are not always obliged to erase Personal Information when asked to do so; if for any reason we believe that we have a good legal reason to continue processing Personal Information that you ask us to erase we will tell you what that reason is at the time we respond to your request.  You can exercise this right at any time by contacting us and telling us that you are making a request to have your Personal Information rectified or erased and on what basis you are making that request. If you want us to replace inaccurate data with new data, you should tell us what that new data is. You do not have to fill in a specific form to make this kind of request.

Your Right to Restrict Processing: Where we process your Personal Information on the basis of a legitimate interest (see the table above which explains how and why we use your information) you are entitled to ask us to stop processing it in that way if you feel that our continuing to do so impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms or if you feel that those legitimate interests are not valid.  You may also ask us to stop processing your Personal Information (a) if you dispute the accuracy of that Personal Information and want us verify that data's accuracy; (b) where it has been established that our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where we no longer need to process your Personal Information (and would otherwise dispose of it) but you wish for us to continue storing it in order to enable you to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.  Please note that if for any reason we believe that we have a good legal reason to continue processing Personal Information that you ask us to stop processing, we will tell you what that reason is, either at the time we first respond to your request or after we have had the opportunity to consider and investigate it.  You can exercise this right at any time by writing to us using the contact details set out here and telling us that you are making a request to have us stop processing the relevant aspect of your personal data and describing which of the above conditions you believe is relevant to that request. You do not have to fill in a specific form to make this kind of request.

Your Right to Portability: Where you wish to transfer certain Personal Information that we hold about you, which is processed by automated means, to a third party you may write to us and ask us to provide it to you in a commonly used machine-readable format.  If you wish to transfer your data from us to a third party we are happy to consider such requests.

Your Right to object to processing: You may object to processing of your Personal Information where we rely on legitimate interest for processing that Personal Information.  We will comply with your request unless we have a compelling overriding legitimate interest for processing or we need to continue processing your personal data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim. 

Your Right to stop receiving communications: Where we send you e-mail marketing communications (or other regulated electronic messages) you have the right to opt-out at any time. You can do this by using the ‘unsubscribe’ link that appears in the footer of each communication (or the equivalent mechanism in those communications).  Alternatively, if for any reason you cannot use those links, or if you would prefer to contact us directly – you can unsubscribe by contacting us and telling us which communications you would like us to stop sending you.

Your Right to object to automated decision making and profiling: You have the right to be informed about the existence of any automated decision making and profiling of your Personal Information, and where appropriate, be provided with meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing that affects you.

Your right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority: You may also lodge a complaint to the supervisory authority about the way we process your Personal Information. In the United Kingdom, the relevant regulatory authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office of the United Kingdom (https://ico.org.uk/).  We would however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns before you approach the supervisory authority, so please contact us in the first instance.

NO FEE USUALLY REQUIRED  

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. We will notify you if this is the case.

WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU  

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND  

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. It might take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
