Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Macezi Yahike ("we," "us," or "our"), operating at macezi-yahike.info and located at 6499 W 65th St, Chicago, IL, collects, uses, and protects information from visitors to our website. We are committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently, consistent with applicable United States privacy frameworks including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the CAN-SPAM Act, and general principles derived from the FTC Act.

1. Who This Policy Applies To

This policy applies to all visitors to macezi-yahike.info, regardless of location. If you are a resident of California, additional rights apply to you under the CCPA, described in Section 8 below.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically when you use our website.

Information You Provide

When you use the contact form on our website, you provide us with your name, email address, and the content of your message. We do not collect payment information through this website. We do not require account creation.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, certain technical data is collected automatically. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time and date of your visit. This data is collected through standard server logs and, if you consent, through analytics cookies.

3. How We Use Your Information

Contact Data is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to mailing lists, share your contact information with third parties for marketing purposes, or use it for any purpose other than responding to the message you sent.

Usage Data is used to understand how our website performs, identify technical issues, and improve the content and structure of our pages. If analytics cookies are enabled, this data may be processed through third-party analytics services as described in our Cookie Policy.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

For visitors from jurisdictions with explicit legal basis requirements, we process Contact Data on the basis of your consent (submitting the form) and our legitimate interest in responding to business inquiries. Usage Data is processed on the basis of legitimate interest in maintaining a functional and secure website, subject to cookie consent preferences you set.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your Personal Information. We do not share Contact Data with any third party. Usage Data may be processed by third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, including hosting providers and analytics services. These providers are contractually bound to use data only as directed by us and in accordance with applicable privacy law.

6. Data Retention

Contact Data in our email inbox is retained as long as the business correspondence is relevant. We do not retain Usage Data beyond what is necessary for the operational and analytical purposes described above. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymized.

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website uses HTTPS encryption. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. California Residents: Your CCPA Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.) provides you with specific rights regarding your Personal Information:

• Right to Know: You may request information about the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you.
• Right to Delete: You may request deletion of Personal Information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell Personal Information. This right is therefore not applicable to our practices.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected] or by phone at +1 708-458-2200. We will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days as required by the CCPA.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it promptly. This policy is consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

10. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
