The following Privacy Policy covers the privacy practices of Jody Sokol Design (“Company”, “we,” or “us”) and explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information that applies to Jody Sokol Design website and the software and services made available there, as well as any other websites, subdomains, or services owned or controlled by Jody Sokol Design (collectively, the “Services”), including your choices about the collection and use of your information.
Please read this policy carefully. Use of this website is absolutely conditioned upon reviewing, understanding, and agreeing to all of the information, disclosures and disclaimers contained in (1) the Terms of Use, and (2) this Privacy Policy.
1) Our Privacy Practices
We do not collect or use Personal Information (as defined below) about you on this website except as discussed in this Privacy Policy. Although it may be necessary for you to provide Personal Information to us to take advantage of the services or features of this website, including registering for the Services and creating an account (“User Account”), we use your Personal Information solely for the purpose for which you provide it, including responding to your inquiries and the other limited purposes described below.
As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” consists of any personally identifiable information you choose to provide to us when you (1) elect to send us an e-mail using contact forms and/or links available on the site, including your e-mail address; or (2) elect to submit a business application or other such form through our website. Please note that information you may provide that is not specifically personally identifiable data (or otherwise described in this Privacy Policy), but rather information you may submit as part of a question or comment to us via the website is not covered hereunder as Personal information and is separately addressed separately under our Terms of Use.
We do not sell, share, or intentionally make available to third parties or the general public your Personal Information. We may share your personal information with third-party agents that we have hired to help us administer our website or conduct our business (including web hosting, maintenance, administration, support, fulfillment, and database management services). We do not authorize these third parties to use your personal information except for the purpose of providing those services requested by us. We may also disclose your personal information in the special cases set forth below. We do not otherwise rent or sell to third parties your personally identifiable information entered on this website. We do not provide Personal Information to any third party for such third party’s direct marketing purposes. JODY SOKOL DESIGN does not track its users over time and across third-party websites and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals.
JODY SOKOL DESIGN reserves the right to disclose Personal Information in special cases, when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other JODY SOKOL DESIGN users or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose Personal Information without notice to you in response to a subpoena when we believe in good faith that the law permits it or to respond to an emergency situation.
By using the procedures outlined below, you will also always have the opportunity to correct or change any of the Personal Information you provide to us, including changing your initial decision as to whether or not you would like us to use your Personal Information to provide information on products or services that may be of interest to you.
2) Consent to Transfer
This website is operated in the United States. If you are located in Australia, the European Union, Canada or elsewhere outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to JODY SOKOL DESIGN will be transferred to the United States. By using this website or providing us with your information you consent to this transfer.
3) Modification
From time to time, we may seek to use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. We therefore reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time. In the event that changes are made to our privacy practices, we will update this Privacy Policy, along with the revision date noted above, and post such revised Privacy Policy to our website.

Usage Information can include IP address, domain name, referring web page, browser type, mobile device type, device operating system, device settings, device identifiers and information about the way you use your device or this site (e.g., the length of time spent, the pages accessed while visiting this site, and links or ads clicked). Usage Information may be collected using the methods described below.
When you access the Services, we may send one or more cookies — a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters — to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets us help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the Services (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click, how frequently you access the Services and other actions you take on the Services), and allow us to track your usage of the Services over time.
If for any reason you do not want to take advantage of cookies, you may have your browser not accept them, although this may disable or render unusable some of the features of the website or the Services.
We may also collect log file information from your browser or mobile device each time you access the Services. Logfile information may include anonymous information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, information about your mobile device, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Services, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.
We may also employ tags or clear gifs (also known as web beacons) which are used to anonymously track the online usage patterns of our users. In addition, we may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. No personal information is obtained from this tracking, rather just the patterns of usage of our various users may be tracked to provide you with improved service and content based on aggregate or statistical reviews of user site traffic patterns. Collecting this information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Services and for us to better understand how our users interact with our website and the Services. We may also periodically collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Services. These tools collect information sent by your browser or mobile device, including the pages you visit, your use of third-party applications, and other information that assists us in analyzing and improving the Services.
We also collect information about the way you use our Services, for example, the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave our website, the pages you visit, the links you click, how frequently you access the Services, whether you open emails or click the links contained in emails, whether you access the Services from multiple devices and other actions you take on the applicable sites.
When you access our Services by or through a mobile device, we may receive or collect and store unique identification numbers associated with your device (“Device ID”), mobile carrier, device type, and manufacturer, phone number, and, depending on your mobile device settings, your geographical location data, including GPS coordinates (e.g. latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device.
We use or may use the data collected through cookies, log file, device identifiers, location data, and clear gifs information to (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site; (b) provide custom, personalized content, and information, including advertising; (c) provide and monitor the effectiveness of our Services; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, usage, and demographic patterns on our website and our Services; (e) diagnose or fix technology problems; (f) otherwise to plan for and enhance our Services; and (g) automatically update the Company application on your mobile devices.
