Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 31, 2026

I operate the website https://bhamrick.com. This policy explains how I handle your personal information, your rights regarding that data, and how I comply with global privacy standards, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

As the sole operator of this site, I am the “Data Controller” of your information.

1. Information I Collect and Why (Lawful Basis)

Under the GDPR, I must have a “lawful basis” for processing your data. The table below explains what I collect and my legal reason for doing so:

CCPA Category Disclosure

In the preceding 12 months, I have collected the following categories of personal information:

• Identifiers: Name, email, and IP address.
• Internet Activity: Browsing history and interactions with my website.

Note on Sensitive Data: I do not knowingly collect “Sensitive Personal Information” (e.g., social security numbers, health data, or precise geolocation).

2. Cookies and Global Privacy Control (GPC)

I use cookies to enable Google Analytics and basic site functionality.

Global Privacy Control (GPC): My website is configured to recognize and honor GPC signals. If your browser sends a GPC signal, I will treat it as a valid request to opt-out of “sharing” your information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising.

You can also manage or delete cookies via your browser settings at any time.

3. Data Storage and International Transfers

I use third-party service providers (like email platforms and CRMs) to help me manage data.

• Location: These providers may store data on servers located in the United States.
• Safeguards: For users in the EU/EEA, I ensure these transfers are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other valid transfer mechanisms approved by the European Commission.

4. Your Rights

For EU/EEA Residents (GDPR)

You have the following rights:

• Access & Portability: Request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.
• Rectification: Request that I correct inaccurate data.
• Erasure: Request that I delete your personal data (the “Right to be Forgotten”).
• Object/Restrict: Object to my processing of your data based on “Legitimate Interest.”
• Withdraw Consent: Unsubscribe from my newsletter at any time.

For California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

• Right to Know: Request a report of what data I have collected about you since January 1, 2022.
• Right to Delete: Request that I delete your information, subject to legal exceptions.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sharing: I do not “sell” data, but you may opt-out of “sharing” for targeted ads.
• Right to Correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal info.

To exercise these rights, email [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy Request.” I will respond within 30 days (GDPR) or 45 days (CCPA).

5. Data Retention

I keep your information only as long as I need it:

• Newsletters: Until you unsubscribe (I delete inactive subscribers annually).
• Inquiries: For up to 2 years after our last communication, unless a longer period is required for legal/tax purposes.

6. Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website directly. These sites may collect data about you according to their own privacy policies.

7. Mandatory Disclosures

• No Automated Decision-Making: I do not use profiling or automated tools to make decisions that have legal or significant effects on you.
• Children’s Privacy: My website is not intended for children under 16. If I learn I have collected data from a minor, I will delete it immediately.
• Complaints: If you are in the EU, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority.
