We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions (e.g., security, checkout) and optional purposes (e.g., analytics, embedded media performance).

You have rights to access, correct, and challenge compliance, among others consistent with the 10 Fair Information Principles. Contact us to exercise these rights. Office of the Privacy Commissioner+1

How to submit a request: Email team@shaydacampbell.com with the subject “Privacy Request.”
Identity verification: We may request reasonable information to verify your identity.
Authorized agents (California): Agents must provide written permission and verification.
Appeals (where required by state law): If we deny a request, you may appeal by replying to our decision email with “Privacy Request Appeal,” and we will review and respond within the time required by applicable law.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including legal, tax, and accounting requirements. Typical examples:
-

We also apply criteria-based retention to minimize storage where feasible.
International Transfers & Safeguards
Because our audience is global and our providers operate internationally, your data may be processed outside your province/state/country. Where EU/UK data is transferred to third countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and complementary measures as needed.
Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to risk, including HTTPS encryption, account/access controls, and reputable service providers (Wix, Stripe, PayPal, ConvertKit, Google). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
Children’s Privacy
Our Site is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from:
-
Children under 13 (U.S. COPPA standard), or
-
Children under 16 in the EU/UK (unless a lower age is set by local law with parental consent).
If you believe we have collected personal information from a child in violation of these standards, contact us to delete it.
Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control
We will honor Global Privacy Control opt-out signals where legally required (e.g., California). If we implement sale/share activities in the future, we will integrate the required opt-out link and signal handling.
