At Brooke Garwood Media, we are committed to safeguarding your personal data and maintaining the security of your information. We utilize recognized online secure payment systems and adhere to generally accepted standards of security to mitigate the risk of personal data loss or misuse. However, it's important to note that while we employ various security measures, no system is entirely foolproof, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against interception or misuse. Therefore, we cannot assure complete security of any information you transmit to us.

By consenting to this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge that your personal data may be accessible via the internet worldwide. We cannot control or prevent the use or misuse of your data by other parties.

In the event of any known breach of our security systems or your data that may expose you to serious risk, we will promptly notify you. Your security and trust are of utmost importance to us, and we are committed to taking swift action to address any potential breaches and mitigate risks to your data.

Security of your information

We maintain personal data for the duration necessary to conduct our legitimate business activities or comply with legal obligations, or until you request the deletion of your data. For instance, we will indefinitely retain certain personal information to uphold your account unless and until you opt to delete it. Data collected for specific purposes, such as aiding law enforcement or analyzing trends, will be retained only for as long as necessary for that particular objective. Any data no longer required for the aforementioned purposes will be permanently deleted.

We will adhere to your request for data deletion, as elaborated below, unless legal obligations mandate data retention. However, please note that we cannot influence the retention policies of third parties. Should you wish for any third parties, including those to whom we've forwarded your data, to delete that data, you will need to contact those third parties directly. You may request from us a list of all third parties to whom we have transmitted your data.

We may retain usage data (i.e., data collected by our company or third-party analytics firms to analyze the utilization of our website) for internal analysis purposes. Typically, this type of data is retained for a shorter duration than personal data, unless it is essential to enhance the security or functionality of our website or offerings, or we are legally obligated to retain the data for an extended period.

At Brooke Garwood Media, we may disclose your information to third parties under specific circumstances. Particularly, we might share your data with third-party processors as necessary to advance our legitimate business interests. These interests encompass managing our website, administering your account, entering into contracts with you, communicating with you, processing orders for goods or services, delivering our offerings, identifying trends, safeguarding the security of our company and website, and marketing additional goods and services to you. The legal grounds for our disclosure of your data include both your consent to this Privacy Policy and our own right to safeguard and promote our legitimate business interests.

Here are specific reasons why we may share your information:

Third-Party Processing: We may disclose your information to third parties who aid us in various tasks, such as payment processing, hosting services, email delivery, communications, and customer service. We may not always disclose these third-party processors unless required by law. We do not authorize them to use or disclose your personal information except in connection with providing services to our company.

By Law: Your data may be shared as required by law or to respond to legal processes, including subpoenas, or as necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of others. This includes sharing information with other parties to prevent or address fraud and to mitigate credit risks.

Protecting Our Company: Your information may be used to safeguard our company, including investigating and remedying any violations of our rights or policies. We may also disclose your information as reasonably necessary to acquire and maintain insurance coverage, manage risks, obtain financial or legal advice, or to exercise or defend against legal claims.

Business Transfers: In the unlikely event our company undergoes a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy proceedings, dissolution, reorganization, or similar transaction or proceeding, your data may be transferred or shared as part of that proceeding. Customer information is one of the business assets acquired by a third party in such transitions. You acknowledge that such business transfers may occur and that your personal information may continue to be stored, used, or processed as otherwise set forth in this privacy policy.

Please note that at this time, we do not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking systems, which may include “do not track” instructions.

We are not bound by the Privacy Policies of any third-party website you access via a hyperlink, nor are they bound by ours. We encourage you to read the Policies of those third-party websites before interacting with them or making purchases, as they may collect different information and by different methods than we do.

Other Purposes: We may disclose your personal data as necessary to comply with any legal obligation or to protect your interests, or the vital interests of others or our company.
