The information we collect depends on how you interact with the website and which services you use.

Personal information you provide
You may voluntarily provide information such as:

Depending on the payment method, we may receive information such as your name, billing details, transaction status, and purchase history. Full payment card details may be processed directly by the payment provider rather than stored by us.

The privacy and security practices of a payment processor are also governed by that provider’s own policies.

• Browser type, device type, and operating system.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the message or contacting info@iamstormysage.com.

Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before sending marketing communications. Purchasing a product or booking a service does not automatically mean you consent to all marketing communications.

7. Do We Share Personal Information?
We do not sell personal information for money. However, certain privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly, and some uses of advertising or tracking technologies may fall within those definitions.

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients when necessary:
• Website and hosting providers that operate or maintain the website.
• Booking and scheduling platforms that manage appointments.

Service providers are permitted to use personal information as needed to perform their services, subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.

We may also disclose information if you direct us to do so or provide appropriate consent.

We will update this section if our actual data-sharing practices change. If we enable advertising pixels, targeted advertising, or other tracking that triggers a legal opt-out right, we will provide any notices and controls required by applicable law.

8. How Do We Protect Personal Information?
We take reasonable steps designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Depending on the systems used, safeguards may include access restrictions, account security measures, secure connections, and third-party payment processing.

No method of transmitting or storing information online is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we aim to use safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks involved.

You should also take care to protect your email account, passwords, and devices.

9. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The website platform or third-party services may use cookies, pixels, tags, or similar technologies.

Cookies are small files stored on your device that may help websites remember preferences, maintain functionality, understand traffic, and improve user experience.

Depending on which technologies are enabled, they may be used to:
• Support website functionality.
• Remember preferences or settings.
• Understand aggregate website traffic and interactions.
• Measure the effectiveness of content or campaigns.
• Support advertising or retargeting, where enabled and legally permitted.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not work correctly if certain cookies are disabled.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate consent choices for nonessential cookies or similar technologies.

Analytics and advertising pixels
We may use analytics or advertising tools offered by third parties, such as website analytics providers or social media platforms, if configured on the website.

These tools may collect information about website activity and, depending on their settings, may help measure campaigns or display relevant advertisements.

Before publishing: Confirm which analytics, pixels, and advertising tools are actually installed. Remove references to tools that are not used, and add any required consent or opt-out mechanisms.

10. Third-Party Links
Our website or content may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services.

Those third parties operate independently and may have their own privacy policies and data practices. We are not responsible for their privacy policies or how they handle information you provide directly to them.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party service before submitting personal information through it.

11. Account and Password Security
If the website or a service allows you to create an account, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and limiting access to your account.

Please notify us at info@iamstormysage.com if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

You should also log out of accounts on shared devices and follow the security recommendations provided by the relevant platform.

12. Google and Other Analytics or Advertising Services
If we use Google Analytics or other analytics services, those providers may collect information about how visitors use the website. Their collection and processing practices are subject to their own policies and settings.

If Google advertising services, social media pixels, or other advertising tools are enabled, they may use cookies or similar technologies to measure advertising performance or personalize ads, subject to applicable law and your available choices.

We do not represent that any particular Google or advertising tool is currently enabled. This policy should be updated to reflect the actual services in use.

You can learn about and manage available advertising and privacy controls through the relevant service provider. Browser settings and industry opt-out tools may also offer additional choices, although they may not disable every form of tracking.

13. Children’s Privacy
Our website and services are not intended to be directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without legally required authorization.

Some services may have additional age restrictions, which will be stated in the relevant service terms.

14. Data Breach and Security Incidents
If we become aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will assess it and take reasonable steps to investigate, contain, and address it.

Where notification is legally required, we will notify affected individuals and/or relevant authorities in accordance with applicable law and within the required timeframe.

15. Commercial Emails and Unsubscribing
If you receive marketing emails from us, you may unsubscribe at any time using the link included in the email or by contacting info@iamstormysage.com.

We will process unsubscribe requests as required by applicable law. We may continue to send non-marketing messages necessary to complete a transaction, provide a service you requested, or address an account or security matter.

We aim to comply with applicable commercial email laws, including requirements relating to accurate sender information, non-deceptive subject lines, required business contact information, and honoring opt-out requests.

Before publishing: Confirm that your email platform and marketing practices meet the applicable requirements, including any required physical mailing address in commercial emails.

The precise rights and obligations depend on the law applicable to the individual and business. This policy should be reviewed as the business grows and its data practices change.

18. How Long Do We Keep Personal Information?
We retain personal information for only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal, accounting, or tax obligations.

The appropriate retention period depends on the type of information, why it was collected, and applicable legal requirements.

When information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, de-identify it, or securely dispose of it, subject to any legal retention obligations.
