This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used and disclosed
by The Creativity Patch.
This Privacy Policy applies to information I collect when you use “Services”, or when you otherwise interact with me.
I may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If I make changes, I will notify
you by revising the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy and, in some cases, I
may provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a statement to my website or
by sending you a notification). I encourage you to review my Privacy Policy whenever
you access the Services or otherwise interact with me to stay informed about my
information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.
Collection of Information
Information You Provide to Me
I collect information you provide directly to me. For example, I collect information
when you create an account, participate in any interactive features of the Services,
subscribe to a newsletter or email list, participate in an event, survey, contest or
promotion, make a purchase, communicate with me via third-party social media sites,
request customer support or otherwise communicate with me.
The types of information I may collect include your name, email address, password,
postal address, phone number, gender, date of birth, occupation, employer information,
photo, payment information (such as your credit or debit card and billing address),
preference or interest data, and any other information you choose to provide.
If you provide an email address to invite a friend to participate in the Services, I will
collect that email address and use it to send your friend such an invitation.
Information I Collect Automatically
When you access or use my Services, I may automatically collect information about
you, including:
Log Information: I collect log information about your use of the Services, including your
Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, web request, access times, pages viewed, web browser,
links clicked and the page you visited before navigating to the Services.
Mobile Device Information: I collect information about the mobile device you use to access
my Services, including the hardware model, operating system and version, unique
device identifiers, mobile network information and information about your use of our
mobile applications.
Information Collected by Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
I and my service providers use various technologies to collect information, including cookies and web beacons.
Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help me
improve my Services and your experience, see which areas and features of my Services
are popular, and count visits. Web beacons are electronic images that may be used in
my Services or emails and help deliver cookies, count visits, and understand usage and
campaign effectiveness. For more information about cookies, and how to disable them,
please see “Your Choices” below.
Information I Collect From Other Sources
I may also obtain information from other sources and combine that with information
I collect through my Services. For example, if you create or log into your account
through a third-party social media site, I will have access to certain information from
that site, such as your name, account information and friends lists, in accordance with
the authorization procedures determined by such social media site; I may also collect
information about you when you post content to my pages/feeds on third-party social
media sites.
My store uses the Pinterest tag to track customers that make Product Pin purchases.
Use of Information
I may use information about you for various purposes, including to:
• Provide, maintain, improve and promote our products and services;
• Provide and deliver the information, products and services you request, process
transactions and send you related information, including confirmations and
receipts;

administrative messages;

I am based in the United States and the information I collect is governed by U.S.
law. By accessing or using the Services or otherwise providing information to me, you
consent to the processing and transfer of information in and to the U.S. and other
countries.
Sharing of Information
I may share information about you as follows or as otherwise described in this Privacy
Policy:
• With vendors, consultants and other service providers who need access to such
information to carry out work or perform services on my behalf;
• When you participate in the interactive areas of our Services, certain information
you provide may be displayed to other users, such as your name, photo,
comments and other information you choose to provide;
• In response to a request for information if I believe disclosure is in accordance
with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation or legal process;
• If I believe your actions are inconsistent with my user agreements or policies,
or to protect the rights, property and safety of Company or others;
• In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company
assets, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another
company; and
• With your consent or at your direction.
Social Sharing Features
The Services may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools (such as the
Facebook “Like” button), which let you share actions you take on our Services with other
media, and vice versa. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with
your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the entity that
provides the social sharing feature. For more information about the purpose and scope
of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit
the privacy policies of the entities that provide these features.
Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Others
I may allow others to serve advertisements on my behalf across the Internet and to
provide analytics services. These entities may use cookies, web beacons and other
technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites,
including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked
and conversion information. This information may be used by Company and others to,
among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content,
deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our Services and other
websites and better understand your online activity. For more information about
interest-based ads, or to opt out of having your web browsing information used for
behavioral advertising purposes by companies that participate in the Digital Advertising
Alliance, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices.
