Summary

Skunk Digital takes privacy seriously. This policy sets out how Skunk Digital LLC (including its successors, assigns and related bodies corporate) (in this Privacy Policy, we or us) collects, holds and discloses personal information.

Information We Collect

Skunk Digital collects personal information to facilitate your use of the Services. “Personal Information” means information that identifies or is reasonably capable of identifying an individual, directly or indirectly, and information that is being associated with an identified or reasonably identifiable individual. 

We collect an individual’s name and contact details, and information about the individual’s occupation and business, employer, and relationship with us or our clients and potential clients, and about the individual’s relationship with our other business contacts.

We also collect the information necessary to provide the specific services our clients require (including marketing goals, past year(s)’ revenue, future revenue estimates), as well as credit card and payment information from time to time.

How We Use the Information We Collect

We collect personal information to:

• provide services to our clients
• communicate with our clients, suppliers and other business contacts
• inform our clients and other business contacts about product and industry developments
• manage and account for our services
• manage credit provided to our clients
• promote and market our services and send invitations to our events
• arrange for the payment of third-party services on behalf of our clients
• generally carry on our business

How we collect personal information

We collect personal information directly from an individual when that individual meets with us, communicates with us by letter, telephone, email or fax, gives us a business card, subscribes to our publications, registers for or attends our events or submits information through our websites, blogs or other social media outlets.

We may also collect information about an individual from our clients, potential clients and their business contacts, from the individual’s employer or other business contacts, and from publicly available records or a third party e.g., a provider of an employment or other reference.

Accuracy and Retention of Personal Information

We take reasonable and practicable steps to ensure that your Personal Information held by us is accurate with regard to the purposes for which it is to be used, and is not kept longer than is necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose for which it is to be used. 

Information for California Residents

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, permits consumers who are California residents, to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, information about the categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law), if any, that we disclosed in the preceding calendar year to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Our disclosure requirements apply only if we share our consumers’ personal information with third parties for them to directly market their own products to those consumers, instead of assisting us with our own business. Skunk Digital does not share our consumers’ personal information with third parties for them to directly market their own products to those consumers.

Information for Nevada Residents

Nevada law (SB 220) requires website operators to provide a way for Nevada consumers to opt out of the sale of certain information that the website operator may collect about them. Skunk Digital does not sell your personal information to third parties as defined in Nevada law, and will not do so in the future without providing you with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of such sale as required by law. If you have any questions regarding our data privacy practices or our compliance with Nevada data privacy law, please contact us at [email protected].

Information for Subjects of the EU General Data Protection Regulation

This website may be viewed by members of the European Union, but is not targeted for use by EU persons. If you are an EU person, you should not provide any personal information to us through this website. This website is intended primarily for U.S. Internet users who are interested in Skunk Digital’s services.  

Credit Reporting

By placing an order with us, or otherwise acquiring our services, where credit terms may be provided the client and/or any guarantor agree that we can obtain from a credit-reporting agency a credit report which may contain personal credit information about the client and/or guarantor in relation to credit we may provide.

Personal information may also be used by us to notify other credit providers of a default by a client, to exchange information with other credit providers as to the status of this credit account (where the client is in default with other credit providers) and to assess the credit worthiness of the client or any guarantor.

The client consents to us being given a consumer credit report to collect overdue payment on commercial credit.

Anonymity and pseudonyms

Individuals have the right not to identify themselves, or to use a pseudonym when dealing with us. However, if we request personal information and it is not provided, we may not be able to provide services to, or otherwise assist, the relevant individual.

General use and disclosure of personal information

We use and disclose personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected, related purposes and other purposes authorized by the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act. In general, we use and disclose personal information for the purposes set out in this privacy policy.

Use and disclosure of personal information for promotion and marketing

We will only use an individual’s personal information to promote or market services or to send invitations to events, and we will give that individual an opportunity to request us not to use the information for such purposes. We will not use an individual’s personal information for such purposes if the individual requests us not to do so.

To whom may we disclose or allow access to personal information?

We may disclose personal information to others, including our clients, suppliers and their contractors and other business contacts, in connection with the provision of our services to clients.

We may disclose or allow access to personal information that we collect to our suppliers, contractors and other business contacts that help us in our business. For example, contractors may distribute some of our publications and develop and maintain our computer systems, electronic records, websites, blogs and other social media outlets. Our auditors, insurers, lawyers and other professional advisers may also be allowed to access our records to protect our interests and to ensure that we comply with our obligations.

We may also disclose personal information about an individual to anyone else with the consent of that individual, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

Disclosure to overseas recipients

We will generally not disclose personal information to overseas recipients. However, where required in order to provide specific services to specific clients, we may do so to the extent required for such purposes.

How do we keep personal information secure?

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse and loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. We may store hard copies of this information in access-controlled premises, and digital versions on secure servers. We require all persons authorized to access digital information to use logins and passwords to access such information.

We require all our contractors and others to whom we disclose personal information or whom may have access to personal information we collect, to keep such personal information private and to protect such personal information from misuse and loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.

Any credit card details provided to us for the purposes of making any payment are destroyed when processing the payment is finalized.

Security and Integrity of Personal Information

We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect is accurate, up to date and complete and that the personal information we use or disclose is accurate, up to date, complete and relevant, having regard to the purpose of such use or disclosure.

To that end, we encourage you to contact us to update or correct any personal information we hold about you.

Third Party Websites

Skunk Digital may share your Personal Information with third-party service providers for business or commercial purposes. Your Personal Information may be shared so that they can provide us with services, including payment processing, customer support, information technology, data processing, network infrastructure, and storage. Skunk Digital shares your Personal Information with these service providers only so that they can provide us with services, and we prohibit our service providers from using or disclosing your Personal Information for any other purpose. Any third-party service providers are subject to strict confidentiality obligations.
