Effective date: April 2022

Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC is committed to providing our customers with exceptional service. As providing this service involves the collection, use and disclosure of some personal information about you, protecting and ensuring the privacy of your personal information is one of our highest priorities. One of the ways we do that is to have this Privacy Policy, which tells you why and how we collect, use and disclose your personal information.

This Privacy Policy applies to all Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC stores and entities operating such stores along with the Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC website and mobile app (collectively referred to herein as “Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC,” “we” or “us”).

This policy also applies to any service providers collecting, using or disclosing personal information on behalf of Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC.

Because Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC is a U.S.-based company, our website is controlled and offered from third party service providers in the United States. The data protection rules and rights of government access to your data in your country may be different than those in the United States. Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC will continue to process your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. 

SECTION 1 – COLLECTION AND USE

We will only collect personal information that is necessary for fulfilling an identified purpose.

For example, when you book an appointment online, as part of the reservation process we collect the personal information you give us, such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, and credit or debit card number. We, and our third-party service providers, use this information to, among other things:

• verify identity;
• guarantee and process a reservation, as well as provide our services;
• send you our newsletters, coupons, updates, reminders, related email marketing, and other information;
• ensure a high standard of service to you;
• meet regulatory requirements; and,
• Send SMS updates, appointment reminders, and special marketing promotions.

There are times when you may provide information to us voluntarily. This occurs when you provide feedback to us through emails, return forms, letters, telephone calls, sign up for text messaging, or enter a sweepstakes, contest, or promotion in which Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC is the sponsor or is a promotional partner with the third-party sponsoring the sweepstakes, contest, or promotion. We use this information to respond to your query, to keep track of customer feedback, to add you to Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC’s email mailing list (please see the information on how to opt out below) and to improve our service to customers.

Even if you do not make a purchase on our site or book an appointment, we have the ability to track your usage of our website, including what pages you visit, what products you view, and the third-party sites that led you to our site. This information is not used to track information about individuals but is used (i) at an aggregate level to customize our site, improve the online experience, and plan advertising and promotions, and (ii) to target advertising (see below regarding behavioral remarketing). When you browse our online website, we also automatically receive your computer’s Internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.

If at any time our website offers any e-mail, survey feedback, social media or forum facilities, we may collect the information, which you disclose. Such information will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

SECTION 2 – CONSENT

Except as otherwise provided herein, we will obtain your consent to collect, use or disclose personal information.

Consent can be provided orally, in writing, or electronically, or it can be implied where the purpose for collecting, using or disclosing the personal information would be considered obvious and you voluntarily provide personal information for that purpose. For instance, when you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction or verify your credit card, we infer that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason.

Where applicable under law, consent may also be implied where you are given notice and a reasonable opportunity to opt-out of having your personal information being used for a purpose, and you do not opt-out. 

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your express consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no. If, after opting-in to our marketing list, you no longer wish to be contacted, you may withdraw your consent by clicking the “unsubscribe” option in the email message.

If you opt to download the Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC mobile app or third party app used in conjunction with Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC and set your preference to allow push notifications, you will receive periodic promotions and specials as an app notification. You may elect to not receive these notifications by updating your notification preferences for the Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC app on your mobile phone. Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC gathers location information from our mobile application from those who give us permission to do so. This information is used only by Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC and will never be shared or sold to any third parties.

If you consent to receive text messages, you will receive auto-dialed appointment confirmations and reminders in addition to marketing or promotional texts. Message and data rates may apply, check with your cellular or data carrier for information. Appointment confirmations and reminders will be based on the number of appointments you make. Consent to get text messages is not required/not a condition for purchase of goods or services. You can opt out of receiving text messages. To stop receiving text messages, reply STOP. 

Subject to certain exceptions (e.g., the personal information is necessary to provide the service or product, or the withdrawal of consent would frustrate the performance of a legal obligation), you can withhold or withdraw your consent. Your decision to withhold or withdraw your consent to certain uses of personal information may restrict our ability to provide a particular service or product. If so, we will explain the situation to assist you making the decision.

We may collect, use or disclose personal information without your knowledge or consent in certain limited circumstances, including:

• When the collection, use or disclosure of personal information is permitted or required by law;
• In an emergency that threatens the life, health, or personal security of any person;
• When the personal information is available from a public source (e.g., a telephone directory);
• When we require legal advice from a lawyer;
• For the purposes of collecting a debt or to protect ourselves from fraud;
• To investigate an anticipated breach of an agreement or a contravention of law;
• If our company is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we may continue to provide products and services to you.

SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE

Except as otherwise provided herein, Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC does not sell or otherwise share your personal information with anyone else, such as advertising agencies or marketing companies. We only send marketing information to those customers who specifically sign up for our mailing list or otherwise opt in to receive such information. Marketing information sent by Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC may be sent by us as part of a cross-promotion or other collaboration with other companies or brands, but we do not disclose personal information to such companies or brands.

Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC will share your personal information internally with those staff members who need it to complete your purchase or carry out your instructions regarding the receipt of marketing information. Authorized Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC service providers may also have access to this information in order to carry out their responsibilities directly connected with the processing of your purchases, detection and prevention of fraud and abuse, or handling of customer service issues. Outside of these activities, we will not disclose your personal information to any third party without your written consent unless required to do so by law.

SECTION 4 – Third-Party Booking Service

We do not currently retain credit card numbers internally. Instead, our third-party booking service and payment processor receives, stores and processes all credit and debit card payments. We require them to treat your personal information in at least as secure a manner as we do. For instance, we require that they store your data on a secure server behind a firewall and that they encrypt your credit card data in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our online store and its service providers.

SECTION 5 – SECURITY

Vershante Lynn Artistry LLC uses a number of security measures to ensure that your personal information is appropriately protected, including:

Examples include: the use of locked filing cabinets; physically securing offices where personal information is held; the use of user IDs, passwords, encryption, firewalls; restricting employee access to personal information as appropriate (i.e., only those that need to know will have access; contractually requiring any service providers to provide comparable security measures).

To be sure you’re browsing securely during a transaction, check your web browser’s status or address bar for the closed padlock icon. This icon indicates that you are viewing a secure web page. Also, all browsers display an “s” after the “http” (https://) in the website address to indicate that you are in a secure environment.

Your credit card information is encrypted using SSL and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, our service providers follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards. All computer and network equipment is configured in accordance with PCI-DSS compliance requirements.

We will use appropriate security measures when destroying your personal information such as secure shredding documents and deleting electronically stored information.
