We encourage you to consult the privacy policies of such sites before sharing any personal information through them or activating the features.
WHAT TYPES OF INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Here are the pieces of information that we may collect when you use this website.
1) We collect personal information from you when you voluntarily provide it to us, such as a name, address, phone number and an email address that will enable us to send communications to you, registering for events, subscribing to newsletters, ordering services or products, or responding to surveys, offers, promotions and other communications. Voluntary provision of this information on Thrasher Design Studio and its Sites equate to consent.
2) Information regarding your personal preferences and any other information you choose to provide, such as photographs, articles, comments, questions, requests, and order and subscription information.
3) For processing purchases, we collect billing information, including a name and address which enables us to complete the process.

COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES.
Cookies are small text files placed on the computers and mobile devices of people who visit those sites to store your preferences. A cookie file is stored in your browser and allows us or a third party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and Site more useful to you. Thrasher Design Studio may use the "cookies" feature and similar technologies on our Sites.

Cookies, by themselves, do not allow us to identify you unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, creating a user profile. Once you choose to furnish the site or app with personal information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. You may choose to disable cookies through your own web browser’s settings. However, disabling this function may diminish your experience on our website and some features may not work as intended.
AGGREGATE AND ANONYMOUS INFORMATION.
We may use aggregate or anonymous information. Anonymous information is data where all information has been removed that enabled you to be identified. Aggregate information is anonymous data collected about a group of users or other categories. Your personal information is not included in aggregate or anonymous data. We use this type of information, for example, to help us understand trends and your needs and preferences and to improve our services. This policy does not restrict our use of aggregate and anonymous information.
EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS
We may use your email for promotional purposes (e.g., new product offerings, special offers by us or other third parties). If you send an email to us, we may collect your email address and the full content of your email, including attached files, and other information you provide. You may indicate your preference to opt out of receiving promotional communications by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the promotional email you receive or by contacting us directly at using the information provided below under “Contact Us.” You acknowledge that it may take up to 10 days for us to process an opt-out request.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Our Sites are based in the United States of America and are subject to the laws of the United States. If you are a user outside of the United States, please know that any information you provide on our Sites may be transferred to the United States, which does not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in certain other countries. Although the laws of the United States do not provide legal protection equivalent to the GDPR, we safeguard your personal information by treating it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. When you agree to this policy, you are, to the extent required and permitted under your local law, granting your consent to the transfer of your personal information to such other countries for the purposes described in this policy. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information.
THIRD-PARTY VENDORS
We may share your personal information with third-party agents, contractors, service providers, and suppliers who assist in providing support and services to our entities. When we do so, we require those third parties to protect your personal information in accordance with this policy and applicable laws.
HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
We take seriously our obligation to safeguard the confidentiality, security and integrity of personal information we collect from you. Any Personal Information obtained by Thrasher Design Studio is stored internally or through a data management system. We value your safety, so your Personal Information will only be accessed by a limited number of persons who have special access rights and are responsible for gathering, managing or storing it, or who have a legitimate need to access it. (i.e., our hosting provider, payment processors or team members).
You should be aware that such security measures cannot prevent all loss, misuse or alteration of personal information, and we are not responsible for any damages or liabilities relating to any such incidents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Where required under law, we will notify you of any such loss, misuse or alteration of personal information that may affect you so that you can take the appropriate actions to protect your rights.
HOW LONG DO WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION?
We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide our services to you, enhance your user experience, and otherwise as necessary for our operations or as permitted or required by applicable laws. We may archive your information (store it in inactive files) for a certain period prior to its final deletion as part of our ordinary business continuity procedures.
LEGAL BASIS FOR USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, governs privacy practices involving individuals in the European Union and the European Economic Area and certain other transactions related to those areas. If the GDPR applies to your personal information that we have collected, our legal basis for collecting and using your personal information will depend on the personal information concerned and the context in which it is collected, including legitimate business purposes, as necessary to provide products and services to you or respond to your inquiries and requests, with your consent, to comply with applicable laws, or when there is a legitimate and overriding interest that necessitates the use.
YOUR RIGHTS OVER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
You have the right to:
1) Request information regarding how your information is used and request a copy of what information we use.
2) Restrict processing if you think the information is inaccurate, unlawful, or no longer necessary.
3) Be forgotten from our systems, meaning we will erase your personal information from our databases. (You have the “right to be forgotten”).
4) Change your preference regarding whether you consent to our use of your information.
5) Lodge a complaint if it is felt that any of your information has been unlawfully used.
6) Receive Personal Data portability and transference to another controller without our hindrance.
7) Object to our use of your information.
8) Not be subject to an automated decision based solely on automatic processing, including profiling, which legally or significantly affects you.
If you are located in the European Union or the European Economic Area (“EEA”), under certain circumstances, you have the legal right to:
1) Be informed whether and how we are processing your personal information;
2) Receive a copy of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions;
3) Receive certain information about your personal information;
4) Correct any incomplete or incorrect personal information we hold about you;
5) Request to restrict processing, change your communications preferences, or opt out of direct marketing; and

Following a request for deletion, we will delete your information unless required to retain it by applicable laws. We may also retain certain of your information if necessary for safety or security, fraud prevention, quality assurance, or other legitimate business interests, and only in accordance with applicable laws.
You may withdraw any consent you have granted to our collection and use of your personal information at any time, subject to our right to continue to use your personal information as permitted or required under applicable laws. Such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of our collection or use of your personal information prior to withdrawal.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Most of our Sites are not intended for or designed to attract children under the age of 13, and we will not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children we actually know are under 13, or the relevant minimum age under applicable law. If we learn that a child under 13 has given us personal information, we will take steps to delete that information. If you believe a child under the age of 13 has given us personal information, please contact us so we may delete the information. Unless stated otherwise, if you are a minor in the jurisdiction in which you are accessing our Sites, you may only use them with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
To the extent any of our Sites intend to collect personal information from children, any such Sites will include additional information regarding the applicable policies and practices for that Site regarding children’s privacy.
MODIFICATION OF OUR PRIVACY POLICY
To accommodate new services and features on our Sites and to ensure up-to-date compliance with privacy laws, we may modify our privacy policy from time to time. When we modify our privacy policy, we will notify you by a posting on our Sites. Any changes will become effective as of the date of posting with respect to information we then collect in the future. We will treat all personal information we collect, however, in accordance with the privacy policy in effect at the time the information is collected. We urge you to review this privacy policy often, so you are always fully informed.

If you maintain an online account with us, we may verify your identity for a request through the normal account authentication process, meaning you will need to sign on with your username and password.
You may assign a designated agent to make a request on your behalf. If you wish to do so, you will need to appoint the designated agent in writing, and we may require a copy of that writing before allowing any request submitted by your designated agent. The designated agent would follow the same procedure outlined above to make a request on your behalf.
If we are unable to confirm your identity or authority to make the request, we may contact you for additional information or deny your request. We will inform you if we cannot verify your identity or authority. We will only use Personal Information provided in a Verifiable Consumer Request to verify your identity or authority to make the request.
We will respond to the request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. The information may be delivered through your account, or, if you do not maintain an account with us, by mail or electronically at your option, and if provided electronically, the information will be in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily useable format that allows you to transmit the information to another entity without hindrance.
We are not required to respond to requests to provide Personal Information to you more than twice in any 12-month period. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of the request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
