Shaffer Creative LLC (“Shaffer Creative,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit shaffercreative.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you fill out a contact form, register for an event or training, sign up for updates, or email us directly, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, company name, job title, and any other information you choose to include in your message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, the Site automatically collects some technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring website, and the date and time of your visit. We collect this through cookies and similar technologies (see “Cookies” below).
Information from third parties. If you interact with us through social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram, we may receive information those platforms make available under their own privacy policies.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your questions and requests
- Provide, schedule, and deliver our consulting, proposal, and training services
- Manage event and training registrations
- Send you updates, resources, or event announcements you’ve asked to receive
- Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it
- Protect the security of the Site and prevent fraud or abuse
- Meet our legal and contractual obligations
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. The Site uses cookies that are necessary for it to function, and it may also use cookies that help us understand how visitors use it. We use Google Analytics to measure Site traffic. Google Analytics collects information such as how often you visit and which pages you view. You can learn more about how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. If you do, some parts of the Site may not work as intended.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
We share information only in these limited situations:
- Service providers who help us run the Site and our business, such as our website host, form plugin, email marketing platform (e.g., Mailchimp or Constant Contact), and scheduling or registration tools. These providers may use your information only to perform services for us.
- Legal requirements, when we believe disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or is needed to protect our rights, property, or safety or that of others.
- Business transfers, if Shaffer Creative is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case your information may transfer as part of that transaction.
Email Communications
If you sign up to receive updates from us, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email or by contacting us directly. Even if you opt out of marketing emails, we may still send messages related to services or events you’ve engaged us for.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide services, maintain business records, and meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete your information
- Opt out of marketing communications
To make any of these requests, contact us using the information below. We will respond within a reasonable time and may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.
Third-Party Links
The Site contains links to other websites and social media platforms, including LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. We aren’t responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for business professionals and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will delete it.
