Your privacy and the protection of your personal information is of the utmost importance to me. I do everything in my power to keep your information safe and to prevent it from being taken or used without your consent.
Information I collect
I only collect information I believe will help me serve you better.
When you purchase something from my site, as part of the buying and selling process, I collect the personal information you give to me, such as your name, address and email address. This enables me to both fulfill and support the products you purchase.
When you browse my site, it automatically receives your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address. This helps us track information such as where visitors are coming from, their browser and operating system, so I can better improve the experience for all my users.
When you hire me to provide services of any kind, I collect your name, business, and contact information in order to work out the details of your project, prepare a Letter of Agreement (our contract for services), invoices, and to perform the tasks you’ve hired me to do. Your information is never printed or shared in any way. It stays in my customer management and email files.
Email marketing: With your permission, I may send you emails about new products, free and premium content (i.e. blog posts, YouTube videos, reports/whitepapers, etc.), and special events, and affiliate offers.
Consent
When you provide me with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, you indicate that you consent to my collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If I ask for your personal information for a secondary reason (e.g., newsletter subscription and marketing messages), I will ask you directly for your expressed consent and provide you with an opportunity to withdraw your consent.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by clicking on an “unsubscribe” link which is offered at the bottom of every email we send.
You may also withdraw your consent anytime, by contacting me at [email protected] or mailing:

1125 Autumn Sage Way

United States
Disclosure
I may disclose your personal information if I am required by law to do so or if you violate my Terms of Service.
IMPORTANT: I do not sell, rent or otherwise disclose your personal information to any third parties, including but not limited to advertisers, strategic partners or vendors. Again, I take your privacy very seriously.
Data Storage
My shopping cart solution is hosted and managed by ThriveCart. They provide me with the online eCommerce platform that allows me to sell my products and services to you.
Your data is stored through ThriveCart’s data storage, databases, and application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then ThriveCart processes your payment through Stripe or Paypal. Your credit card data is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
NOTE: At no point during the transaction does Kathryn Aragon Media take custody or store your credit card information. This is process is monitored and managed by ThriveCart, and you can read their terms of service, privacy policy and PCI Compliance information by visiting their site at https://legal.thrivecart.com/platform/privacy/
Third-Party Services
In general, the third-party providers I use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to me.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or me. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
Links: When you click on links on my site, they may direct you away from my site. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
Security
To protect your personal information, I take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.
If you provide me with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, I follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
Cookies
My site may use cookies to create a more customized experience for users and customers. For example, I may at times set up tracking pixels (i.e. Google Analytics) to aid in measuring and tracking where our website traffic is coming from and to track the performance of our site. I do not now but may in the future use remarking pixels from Facebook and Google to aid in customized, targeted followup advertising.
