SUMMARY
To support your experience on the Site, we collect and use your user information as described below. We do not set cookies or sell your user information.

If you have any requests, comments, or questions about this Privacy Policy or your user information, please contact us in the manner provided below.

WHAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVERS
This Privacy Policy covers the Site. While you may encounter links on the Site to other websites, such as those relating to our partners, please note that these websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy (unless otherwise noted on such site, which may be the case if, for example, the site is also owned and operated by PJB Marketing International).

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the activities of third-party services that may collect your user information while accessing or using such third party’s services in connection with your use of our Site (e.g. social media and sharing services). The privacy and information practices of those third parties are not covered by this Privacy Policy. To learn more about such third party policies, we encourage you to read and review the privacy policy of each third party service that you may choose to use in connection with the Site. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by us.

GATHERING OF INFORMATION
We collect user information when you use the Site. Sometimes you may submit it to us yourself, other times it may be collected automatically.

INFORMATION COLLECTED
When you use the Site, your user information may be collected, used, and shared in a variety of manners. As detailed below, the type of user information collected may vary based on how it was gathered, but may include, among other things, your name, email address, and other information that you voluntarily submit, and information automatically collected about your usage of the Site (e.g., the content that you choose to view).

VOLUNTARY SUBMISSION
Castles and Stuff may collect user information that is voluntarily provided by you or with your permission. You always have the option not to provide the information we request. If you choose not to provide the information we request, you can still visit most of the Site, but you may be unable to access certain options and services.

We may also hold the content of any message you send us.

HOSTING
The Site is hosted by a third-party service provider, which processes your IP address in order to deliver pages. The Site’s web servers log information about a visitor’s IP address, browser type and the page requested. These log files are stored in a secure location and used for security monitoring and abuse prevention.

FONTS
All fonts on the Site are served from our own servers, so no request is made to any third party.

FORM PROTECTION
Forms on the Site are protected by a bot protection service, which processes technical information about your browser and your connection in order to distinguish people from automated traffic. We rely on our legitimate interest in protecting the Site from spam and abuse.

USE OF YOUR INFORMATION
Our primary goal in collecting, using, and sharing user information is to enhance your experience on the Site, support the Site, and improve its features, performance, and other elements. Your user information may be used for the purposes outlined below. We will not use your user information without a valid legal basis to do so.

SHARING OF INFORMATION
You may be requested to voluntarily provide certain user information during your use of the Site. If you choose to do so, that user information may be shared with Castles and Stuff as well as business partners and vendors providing hosting and other services for Castles and Stuff.

We share your user information with service providers who act on our instructions and under contract. These providers fall into the following categories: website hosting and email. They may use your information only to provide their service to us and for no other purpose.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

PJB Marketing International is established in France. Our hosting provider operates internationally, including in the United States. Any transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area relies on the safeguards provided in Chapter V of the GDPR, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

AS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO YOU
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as hosting the Site and delivering email. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service. In some instances, these companies may collect information directly from you. In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the external service provider. In all cases, these companies are subject to agreements that require them to maintain the confidentiality of your information and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

AS REQUIRED BY LAW
Castles and Stuff may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law such as to comply with a subpoena or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to conform to the edicts of the law, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process served on Castles and Stuff or to protect and defend the rights or property of Castles and Stuff.

Notice to EU Individuals: As outlined in this Privacy Policy, Castles and Stuff will not process your user information without a lawful basis to do so, as such bases are defined in Article 6 of the GDPR. In general, Castles and Stuff will process your user information on the legal bases of consent, contract (if you have entered into an agreement with us and such processing is a necessary part thereof), or legal obligation (as noted above). Castles and Stuff may also process certain user information on the basis of the following legitimate interests, provided that such interests are not overridden by your privacy rights and interests: delivering and continuing to develop and improve the Site, helping us modify or enhance the Site and its content, and providing a stable, consistent, and secure user experience in connection with the Site, and protecting the Site against spam, fraud and abuse.

CONTROL OF YOUR INFORMATION
You have a variety of rights regarding the use and control of your user information.

Upon request, Castles and Stuff will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your user information.

You may request to access, correct, or delete any user information you have voluntarily submitted to us. To make such a request, please email us as outlined below. We will do our best to respond within 30 days.

Of course, if you have any questions, please contact us as outlined below.

We will retain your user information only as long as needed for the purpose for which it was provided, unless you have revoked your consent or requested deletion. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

You have the right to access the information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to ask us to restrict or object to how we use it, to receive it in a portable format, to withdraw your consent at any time, and to lodge a complaint with your data protection supervisory authority.

SECURITY
We use industry-standard measures, including encryption, firewalls, and secure data centers, to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Despite these safeguards, no method of transmission over the Internet is entirely secure. If you believe your data has been compromised, please contact us at info@castlesandstuff.com.
