Privacy Policy of DAVIDCELESTIN.COM (Global)

DAVIDCELESTIN.COM (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our users (“you” or “your”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit DAVIDCELESTIN.COM and its local or regional sub-sites, including any other media form, media channel, mobile website, or mobile application related or connected thereto (collectively, the “Site”).

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using DAVIDCELESTIN.COM or any of its sub-sites, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access the Site.

Global Site and Local Sub-Sites

DAVIDCELESTIN.COM operates as a global platform with localized regional sub-sites. Where a local sub-site has its own supplemental Privacy Policy addressing region-specific data protection requirements (for example, GDPR, CCPA, or other applicable frameworks), that local policy applies in addition to this global Privacy Policy for users of that sub-site, and will govern in the event of any direct conflict with this policy for matters specific to that region.

You can find the Privacy Policy applicable to your region, if different from this global policy, linked at the footer of your local sub-site.

Specific Website Sections

Most of DAVIDCELESTIN.COM’s features, including the Store, Articles, Fora, Studiolab, Newsletters, Podcasts, Tools, and Directory, are made available through our local and regional sub-sites, rather than a single global site. What information is collected for each of these, and how it is handled, may vary by sub-site and is described in more detail in that sub-site’s own Privacy Policy.

The descriptions below are general and apply wherever a given feature is offered.

Store

Where offered, when you make a purchase we collect necessary billing and shipping information. This data is used to process your order and is shared with payment processors and shipping partners as required.

Articles

Where offered, if you comment on our blog posts, we may collect and display your name and comments. You can choose to comment anonymously.

Fora

Where offered, when you enroll in courses, we collect information necessary to provide you access to the course materials and track your progress. Information shared in our community forums is visible to other community members. Exercise caution when posting personal information in these areas.

Studiolab

Where offered, information provided for consulting services is used solely for the purpose of delivering those services and is subject to any additional confidentiality agreements.

Email addresses collected for newsletters through any sub-site are used solely for sending updates and promotional content from that sub-site. You can unsubscribe at any time.

If you access our podcasts through third-party platforms, their respective privacy policies will apply.

Your Data, Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on the Site and store certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

If you leave a comment on the Site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit a login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

When visitors leave comments on the Site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the Site, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the Site can download and extract any location data from images on the Site.

Articles on the Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

If you have an account on the Site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on the Site (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Cross-Border Data Handling and Local Data Protection Law

Depending on which sub-site you use and where our infrastructure and service providers are located, your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction.

We aim to handle your information in accordance with the data protection laws applicable to you. Where your local sub-site’s Privacy Policy sets out specific rights, safeguards, or transfer mechanisms required under your region’s data protection law (for example, GDPR, CCPA, or other applicable frameworks), those local terms apply, and you should refer to that sub-site’s Privacy Policy for the details specific to your location.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security of your personal information. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy, and any local sub-site’s supplemental Privacy Policy, from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page or the relevant local sub-site.
