2. IMPORTANT NOTE TO CUSTOMERS REGARDING INFORMATION CONTROLLED BY BRANDS AND CREATORS

If you are a Customer accessing or using the CreatorCart Platform, such as to browse or make a purchase through a particular Creator’s or Brand’s Cart, please be aware that CreatorCart collects and/or processes personal information on behalf of the Creator(s) and/or Brand(s) with whom you interact as the “data processor” for the Creator(s) and/or Brand(s). We only use this information at the direction of the Creator(s) and Brand(s). The Creator(s) and/or Brand(s) determine their own policies for handling personal information. Please review any privacy notice provided by the Creator(s) and/or Brand(s) with whom you interact.

11. DO NOT TRACK" PREFERENCES

Some Internet browsers may be configured to send "Do Not Track" signals to the online services that you visit. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what "Do Not Track" means in this context. Like many websites and online services, CreatorCart does not currently alter our practices when we receive a "Do Not Track" signal from a browser except as specifically required by law. For information about "Do Not Track" please visit All About DNT. The Services do not monitor for or behave differently if your browser or device transmits a “Do Not Track” or similar message.

Therefore, we ask you not to provide us with personal information of persons under the age of 16 or the equivalent age as specified by law in your jurisdiction. If we learn that personal information of persons under the age of 16 or the equivalent age as specified by law in the applicable jurisdiction, has been collected on or through the Services, then we may deactivate the account or otherwise terminate access to the Services and/or make the user content inaccessible.

14. DATA RETENTION

Personal information is processed for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and for the duration of any period necessary to establish, exercise or defend any legal rights.

In order to determine the most appropriate retention periods for your personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of your information, the reasons for which we collect and process your personal information, and applicable legal requirements.

In some instances, we may choose to anonymize personal information instead of deleting it.

15. DATA SECURITY AND PROTECTION

We prioritize the security and protection of your personal information. We have implemented reasonable and appropriate security measures to prevent your data from being accidentally lost, misused, accessed without authorization, altered, or disclosed. This includes using encryption, secure socket layer (SSL), firewalls, and password protection. Additionally, access to personal information is strictly limited to our employees, agents, and contractors who need to know the information for their work.

We have established procedures to address any potential data security breaches. Please be aware, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage method is completely secure. While we strive to provide secure services, by using our Services, you understand and assume the inherent risks associated with online activities.

We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you may decide to share your information. Even after information is removed from our Services, caching and archiving services might have retained it, and others may have copied or stored the data. We do not sell, share, or allow unauthorized access to your personal information, but we cannot guarantee that your data will not be viewed by unauthorized individuals.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Depending on your country of residence, your rights may include.

•

The right to be informed – that’s an obligation on us to inform you how we use your personal data (and that’s what we’re doing in this Privacy Notice);

The right of access – that’s a right to make what’s known as a ‘data subject access request’ for a copy of the personal data we hold about you;

The right to rectification – that’s a right to request that we correct personal data about you that may be incomplete or inaccurate (though we generally recommend first making any changes in your account if you have one);

The right to erasure – that’s where in certain circumstances you can ask us to delete the personal data we have about you (unless there’s an overriding legal reason we need to keep it);

The right to restrict processing – that’s a right for you, in certain circumstances, to ask us to suspend processing personal data;

The right to data portability – that’s a right for you to ask us for a copy of your personal data in a common format (for example, a .csv file);

The right to object – that’s a right for you to object to us processing your personal data (for example, if you object to us processing your data for direct marketing); and

Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling – that’s a right you have for us to be transparent about and not be subject to any profiling or any automated decision-making we may do.

Withdraw Consent—that’s the right to revoke any consent you may have previously given us at any time, if we have collected and processed your personal data with your consent. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal data conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

Exercising Your Rights

These rights are subject to certain rules around when you can exercise them. If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or a country or region that grants data rights and wish to exercise any of those rights, please contact us.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights) unless your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

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.

We will respond to all legitimate requests within one month or the relevant time period specified under applicable local data protection law. Occasionally it may take us longer if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated as required by law.

If you no longer wish to receive our marketing/promotional information, you may opt out as described in the Your Choices section above.

Finally, if you are located in the the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the supervisory authority for data protection issues in your country of residence. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the supervisory authority, so please contact us first.
