Privacy Policy

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.

Purposes for Collecting Personal Information

Nickihuntsmansmith.com may collect and use personal information for the following Identified Purposes:

to understand customer interests;

to develop and provide our web site and our products and services for my customers;

to fulfill your requests for products and/or information;

to communicate with customers and site visitors, when necessary, and to inform customers of upgrades, as well as of other products and services available from me, my affiliates and third parties;

to allow customers to access limited-entry areas of this site;

to personalize some of our services and products for you and to deliver targeted advertisements and offers from myself and third parties;

to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or government request;

to respond to a legitimate claim, or to address our reasonable belief, that you are violating the rights of any third party or any of the agreements or policies that govern your use of the this site or any or my products or services;

to protect my services, products or rights, including but not limited to the security or integrity of the this website;

to identify and resolve technical problems concerning this site, products and services.

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.

Limiting the Collection of Personal Information

We limit its collection of personal information to only that information which is necessary for the Identified Purposes. We do not direct this site to, nor does it knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of thirteen.

When you visit the website, a cookie may be placed on your computer or the cookie may be read if you have visited the site previously.  We may use cookies to allow us to determine which products and services you have already purchased so that we does not provide redundant information to you.  If you choose to not have your browser accept cookies from the website, you may not be able to view all the text on the screens, or to experience a personalized visit, or to subscribe to certain service and product offerings on the website.

Disclosure, Processing and Retention

We doe not sell, rent or disclose your personal information to anyone else, except :

to someone you have designated to act as your agent, for one or more of the Identified Purposes (listed in Section 3, above);

to employees, independent contractors, subsidiaries, affiliates, consultants, business associates, service providers, suppliers and agents, acting on our behalf for any of the Identified Purposes;

as necessary if we have reason to believe that disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with our rights or property, other users of this website, products or services, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities; and

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.  In such transactions, personal information may be one of the transferred business assets.  Also, in the event that this website substantially all of its assets are acquired, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets.

Your information may be stored and processed in the United States, or in any other country in which we have affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities.  By using this web site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. 

After your account becomes inactive (that is, if you request to be removed from our database), we will keep your personal information in its archives.  Your information will then be used only as necessary for tax reasons or to prove our compliance with any applicable law.

Accuracy of Personal Information

We will use reasonable efforts to keep customer personal information accurate for the Identified Purposes, and for minimizing the possibility of making inappropriate customer decisions based on such information.  Customers are responsible for informing us about changes to their personal information.  You can do this by sending an email using this the Contact From on this site. We will use new or updated personal information it receives from customers to update its own records.

Privacy Policy

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.
