We may also receive limited information from social media platforms about users who engage with our content or accounts.

We do not control the data practices of any social media platform, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any social media platform you use. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party platforms.

If you send us a direct message through a social media platform linked from our Site, the content of that message may be retained by us for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.

To administer and improve the Site and our communications;
To analyze usage trends and Site performance;
To protect the security and integrity of the Site;
To comply with applicable legal obligations; and
To protect the rights, property, and interests of Jet Set Write and others.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

4. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING (FOR EEA, UK, AND SWISS USERS)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”), or Switzerland, we process your personal information on the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or applicable equivalent legislation:

Consent: Where you have given us clear consent to process your personal information for a specific purpose, such as subscribing to our newsletter.
Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as improving the Site, analyzing usage, and communicating with people who have contacted us, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where we rely on consent as our legal basis. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

5. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

(i) Service Providers:

We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Site and conducting our business, including email delivery platforms, newsletter management services, website hosting providers, and analytics providers. These service providers are permitted to use your information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and are required to maintain reasonable confidentiality.

(ii) Analytics Providers:

We may use third-party analytics tools to analyze how visitors use the Site. These providers may receive or directly collect certain automatically collected information as described in Section 2.2 above. We do not transfer your name or email address to analytics providers.

(iii) Legal Requirements:

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request, such as a subpoena, court order, or government inquiry, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Jet Set Write, our users, or the public.

(iv) Business Transfers:

In the event that Jet Set Write is sold, merged, acquired, or undergoes a similar business transition, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information via email or a prominent notice on the Site.

(v) With Your Consent:

We may share your information for any other purpose with your prior consent.

6. THIRD-PARTY LINKS

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including social media platforms, that are not operated or controlled by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third party, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

7. DATA RETENTION

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to maintain our business records, and to comply with our legal obligations — unless a shorter or longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Specifically:

Newsletter subscribers: We retain your name and email address for as long as you remain subscribed. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by contacting us at [email protected]
Contact and inquiry form submissions: We retain the content of your inquiry and your contact information for a reasonable period sufficient to respond to and resolve your inquiry and for related record-keeping purposes.
Automatically collected data: Aggregated analytics data may be retained for longer periods in non-identifiable form.

When personal information is no longer needed, we will delete or anonymize it in a secure manner.

8. DATA SECURITY

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law, including within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach where required by the GDPR.

9. MINORS

The Site is intended solely for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. All retreat and program participants must be at least 18 years of age. If you are under 18, do not use this Site or submit any information to us.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a person under 18, we will delete that information promptly. If you believe we may have collected information from a minor, please contact us at [email protected].

Deletion: You may request that we delete your personal information by contacting us at [email protected]. We will honor such requests to the extent required by applicable law and consistent with our legitimate business and legal obligations.
Do Not Track: Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature. Because there is no industry-standard interpretation of Do Not Track signals, we do not currently respond to such signals. We will revisit this position as standards develop.

11. NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) with respect to your personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding to your request. There is no charge for making a request.
