Privacy Policy – Nicki Huntsman Smith

LAST UPDATED: 10/14/2024

I have established this Privacy Policy to explain how we protect and manage the personal information that may be collected from you (the customer) online.

Consent for Collection, Use and Disclosure

Your use of this site and/or your registration for products and services constitute your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the site.

I may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When I do, I will also revise the “last update” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. In addition, I will seek a customer’s prior consent, by email, for any new uses or proposed disclosures of information collected from the customer prior to the change. I will notify customers by email of changes to this policy that will affect information collected from them in the future. In certain circumstances, however, I will not inform and obtain the consent of the customer, such as in connection with an investigation of a breach of an agreement, contravention of laws, an emergency where the life, health or security of an individual is threatened, the collection of a debt or in compliance with the request of a law enforcement agency or a court order.

A customer may withdraw his or her consent for collection, use and disclosure at any time by sending an email using the contact form on this site. It is their responsibility to ensure compliance with the principles in this Privacy Policy. Other individuals may be delegated to act on behalf of the company.

This site may use personal information in an aggregate form ( i.e., not individually attributable to you) for its business analysis, operational, marketing and other promotional purposes.

If we hire other companies to provide some products or services on our behalf, then we will only provide those companies the personal information they need for the Identified Purposes, and we will limit their rights to use and further disclose your personal information as appropriate in the course of their work for us.

to respond to judicial process and provide information to law enforcement agencies or in connection with an investigation on matters related to public safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise as required by law.

In addition, as we continue to develop our business, we may sell or buy other businesses or entities, or we may merge with another company.

We will afford you a reasonable opportunity to review the personal information in your file, if you so request by writing to:

If we are not able to provide access to some aspect of a customer’s personal information, it will provide reasons for denying access such as; that by doing so would likely reveal personal information about a third party, or that it is confidential commercial information or attorney–client privileged communications, or that the information relates to a breach of an agreement or a contravention of law, or that its disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual.

Customers have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete information be amended as appropriate, by contacting us via the Privacy Policy on this site. We will promptly correct such personal information.
