Privacy Policy
SengNickerson.com, owned and operated by Sengerson LLC (“Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information.
This Policy governs your access to and use of https://sengnickerson.com (the “Website”), including any content, features, and services offered on or through the Website, whether as a guest or a registered user. By using the Website, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.
Information We Collect
Information you provide. If you leave comments, complete forms (e.g., contact, newsletter sign-up), or make a purchase, we may collect your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide. If you contact us, we will receive your message and contact details.
Automatic data. When you visit, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect technical data, such as IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, device identifiers, pages viewed, and timestamps. We use this to operate and improve the Website.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent to help with spam detection (e.g., via Akismet). An anonymized string (hash) of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. After approval, your profile image (if any) is visible with your comment. We do not add comment emails to marketing lists and we do not sell email addresses.
Media
Users generally cannot upload media on this Website. If you ever upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors could download and extract it.
Contact Forms
When you submit a contact form, we collect the information you provide (e.g., name, email, message) to respond to your inquiry. We retain this information only as long as needed to address your request. We do not sell or rent contact form submissions.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, analyze traffic, and personalize content/ads. You can control cookies through your browser settings and via our cookie banner. If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. Login and screen preference cookies (if accounts are enabled) may also be set to improve your experience.
Embedded Content
Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those sites directly and may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction per their own privacy policies.
Email Updates & Marketing Communications
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will send educational content, resources, and occasional offers. You can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email. We do not “bombard” you with messages and we do not sell your email address.
Analytics
We use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Website and to improve content and usability. These tools may use cookies to collect usage data such as pages visited and time on site. You can learn more about Google’s data practices in their Privacy Policy and opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising & Affiliate Links
We may display third-party ads or include affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. SengNickerson.com participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com. Ad and affiliate partners may set cookies per their policies.
Payments
If products or services are offered, payments may be processed by third-party providers (e.g., PayPal, Stripe, WooCommerce extensions). Payment processors receive the information necessary to process your transaction (such as purchase total and billing info). We do not store full payment card details on our servers.
How We Share Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted service providers (e.g., email service providers, analytics, payment processors) who help operate the Website and who are bound to use it only on our behalf. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or users, during a business transaction (e.g., merger/asset sale), or with your consent.
Data Retention
Comments and associated metadata may be retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-ups automatically. If user accounts exist, profile information is stored while the account is active. We retain contact form submissions only as long as needed to address your inquiry.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, download, or delete your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, contact us at [email protected]. We may take steps to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
Children’s Privacy
The Website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use the Internet with care and caution.
Transfers & Changes
If ownership or control of the Website changes, your information may be transferred to the new owner consistent with this Policy. We may update this Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and your continued use of the Website means you accept the updated Policy.
