Privacy Policy Scope

Welcome! This Columbus Cake Celebrations Privacy Policy applies to your use of our website (“Website”) owned or operated by Columbus Cake Celebrations (“we”, “us” or “our”) that posts a link to this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy provides you with information as to how we collect, use, and disclose information about you, and applies to your use of our Website. By visiting or otherwise using our Website, you agree to our Website’s Terms of Use and consent to our data collection, use, and disclosure practices as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree and consent, please discontinue use of the Website.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT
1. Information about You that You Provide. We may collect information you provide directly to us via the Website. For example, we collect information when you volunteer on our Website to provide a cake, when you request a cake on our Website, or when you otherwise communicate with us through our Website. Information we may collect on our Website includes: (1) personally identifiable information, which is information that identifies you personally, such as your first and last name, e-mail address, phone number, and address (“PII”).
2. Information Collected Automatically. Our Website may also automatically collect certain information about you when you access or use the Website (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include IP address, device identifier, browser type, operating system, information about your use of our Website, and data regarding network connected hardware (e.g., computer or mobile device). Except to the extent required by applicable law, we do not consider Usage Information (including, without limitation, unique device identifiers) to be PII.
HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE OBTAIN

We may use information about you, including PII, for any purposes not inconsistent with our statements under this Privacy Policy, or otherwise made by us in writing at the point of collection, and not prohibited by applicable law, including, without limitation, the following:
1. To provide birthday cakes;
2. To facilitate, manage, and improve your online experience;
3. To provide information you request, respond to your comments, questions and requests, and send you notices;
4. Fulfill other purposes disclosed at the time you provide PII or otherwise where we are legally permitted or are required to do so; and
5. Prevent and address fraud, breach of policies or terms, and threats or harm.
INFORMATION WE DISCLOSE TO THIRD PARTIES

Except as restricted by applicable law, this Privacy Policy, or any other representation we make to you, we may share non-PII (provided that Company is aware of no restrictions of Company’s use, if any), with third parties for any purpose. Your activities on the Website may, by their nature, result in the sharing of your PII (as well as your non-PII) with third parties and by engaging in these activities you consent to that and further sharing and disclosure to third parties. Such third-party data receipt and collection is subject to the privacy and business practices of that third party, not Company.

Company may also share any information about you for any purposes not inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, or our written statements at the point of collection, and otherwise not prohibited by applicable law, including, without limitation:
1. To comply with the law, law enforcement or other legal process, and, where permitted, in response to a government request; and
2. If Company believes your actions are inconsistent with Company’s terms of use, user agreements, applicable terms or policies, or to protect the rights, property, life, health, security and safety of Company, the Website or its users, or any third party.

In addition, Company may share your PII and your non-PII in connection with or during negotiations of any proposed or actual financing of our business, or merger, purchase, sale, joint venture, or any other type of acquisition or business combination of all or any portion of Company assets, or transfer of all or a portion of Company’s business to another company, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding (“Corporate Transactions”).

DATA SECURITY AND MONITORING

Company takes reasonable measures to protect PII we collect from you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the Internet and online digital storage are not completely secure and Company does not guarantee the security of your information collected through the Website.

To help protect you and others, Company may (but make no commitment to) monitor use of the Website, and may collect and use related information including PII for all purposes not prohibited by applicable law or inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, including, without limitation, to identify fraudulent activities and transactions; prevent abuse of, and investigate and/or seek prosecution for, any potential threats to or misuse of the Website; ensure compliance with the Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy; investigate violations of or enforce these documents; improve the Websites and your Websites experiences, and to protect the rights and property of Company, third parties, and other users. Monitoring may result in the collection, recording, and analysis of online activity or communications through our Website. If you do not consent to these conditions, you must discontinue your use of the Website.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER

Company is based in the U.S. and the information Company collects is governed by U.S. law. If you are accessing the Website from outside of the U.S., please be aware that information collected through the Website may be transferred to, processed, stored, and used in the U.S. Data protection laws in the U.S. may be different from those of your country of residence. Your use of the Website or provision of any information therefore constitutes your consent to the transfer to and from, processing, usage, sharing, and storage of your information, including PII, in the U.S. as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
The Website is intended for a general audience and not directed to children less than 13 years of age. Company does not intend to collect personal information as defined by the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) (“Children’s Personal Information”) in a manner that is not permitted by COPPA. If we obtain knowledge that we have collected Children’s Personal Information in a manner not permitted by COPPA, we will remove such data to the extent required by COPPA.
ACCESSING AND CHANGING INFORMATION

Company may provide web pages or other mechanisms allowing you to delete, correct, or update some of the PII we collect, and potentially certain other information about you (e.g., profile and account information). Company will make good faith efforts to make requested changes in Company’s then-active databases as soon as practicable, but it is not always possible to completely change, remove or delete all of your information or public postings from Company’s databases and residual and/or cached data may remain archived thereafter. Further, we reserve the right to retain data (a) as required by applicable law; and (b) for so long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the data is retained except to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy prospectively effective upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy and your use of our Website indicates your consent to the privacy policy posted at the time of use. To the extent any provision of this Privacy Policy is found by a competent tribunal to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed to the extent necessary for the remainder to be valid and enforceable.
