SERVICE DATA FOR OUR CLIENTS

With respect to the personal information that our clients and their vendors collect from you outside of our Services, such as media campaigns we execute on behalf of our clients, (“Service Data”), where permitted by law, we process such information only as a “service provider” or “data processor” (as those terms are defined under applicable data protection laws) on behalf of our clients, who act as the “business” or “data controller” (as those terms are defined under applicable data protection laws). Our clients are the parties that control the use of the Service Data and determine the purposes for which we process such information. While this Privacy Policy may describe how we process Service Data on behalf of our clients, our clients are responsible for their own practices in collecting, using, and disclosing information they collect from you. To learn more about such clients’ use of your information and your rights that you may have over such information, please consult the privacy policy of the applicable company or publisher with whom you are interacting.

YOUR RIGHTS, CHOICES AND OPT OUT

 

Residents of California & certain other U.S. States - If you are a resident of California, you have certain rights regarding your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) as described below. If you are in another jurisdiction which has similar rights by law that applies to both you and the Company, then we will honor such rights for you.

 

1. Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Disclosed or Sold

If you are a resident of such states, you have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, use, disclosure or sale of your personal information. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access and Deletion Rights), and subject to certain limitations that we describe below, we will disclose such information to you.

 

You have the right to request any or all of the following:

The categories of personal information we collected about you.
The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.

 

2. Right to Request Deletion

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access and Deletion), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records. However, we may retain personal information that has been de-identified or aggregated.

 

Furthermore, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to perform certain actions, such as detecting security incidents and protecting us from illegal activity, or an exception under the CCPA applies which allows us to retain the information.

 

3. Sale of Personal Information

 

We do not “sell” your personal information, as that term is defined under the CCPA, or use your personal information collected through this Website for “targeted advertising” (as defined under applicable state laws). However, as described above, we do use your email address to target email messages to you.

 

4. Exercising Access and Deletion

To exercise the access and deletion rights described above, please submit a request to us by sending us an email at info@stellarising.com.

 

Only you, or a person or business entity that you authorize to act on your behalf (an “authorized agent”), may make the requests set forth above. The request should include your contact information and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. In addition, you should provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected the personal information. If you use an authorized agent to make request, you must provide the authorized agent written permission to do so, and we may require that you verify your identity directly with us. In order to protect the security of your personal information, we will not honor a request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. The method used to verify your identity will vary depending on the nature of the request. You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of your privacy rights.

 

EEA & UK Users - If you are a situated in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom or Switzerland and the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or a similar law applies, as a data subject, you have the following rights:

 

Right to access – This right allows individuals to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed and provide access to such personal data. It also allows individuals to request details of the processing of their personal data including, without limitation, categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed and purposes of processing.
Right to rectify – This right allows individuals to rectify any inaccurate personal data about them.
Right to restrict processing – This right allows individuals to block or suppress processing of personal data under certain circumstances.
Right to be forgotten – This right is also known as the “right to erasure”. It is an individual’s right to have personal data erased or to prevent processing in specific circumstances.
Right of data portability – This right allows individuals to move, copy or transfer personal data from one place to another in a secure manner without interrupting the integrity and usability of the information.
Right to object to processing – This right allows individuals to object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing, profiling and providing for purposes of scientific or historical research and statistics.

 

Stella Rising is the Controller of all personal data we collect through the Service.

 

We shall only process your personal data pursuant to a lawful basis, which will usually be with your consent, when we have a legitimate interest, or to perform a contract to which we are subject. Additionally, if we rely on consent for the processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw it at any time and free of charge. When you do so, this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before your consent withdrawal.

 

To exercise your rights under the GDPR, please contact us at info@stellarising.com. Please note that in order for you to assert these rights, we may need to verify your identity to confirm your right to access your personal data. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. In order to verify your identity, we may need to gather more personal data from you than we currently have.

 

If you are situated in the EU, UK or Switzerland and have any complaints regarding our privacy practices, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority.

 

SECURITY

We take the security of our data and information seriously.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.
