2. Scope of this policy

This policy applies to personal data we collect through the Site, through our forms and communications, and in the course of providing our services. It does not apply to third-party websites, platforms, or services that we do not control, even where we link to them.

3. Information we collect

Information you provide to us. When you complete our contact form or otherwise communicate with us, we collect the information you choose to give us — typically your name, email address, and the contents of your message. If you engage us for services, we may collect additional business and billing information.

Payment information. Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor, Stripe. We do not collect or store full payment card numbers on our own systems. Stripe processes your payment data under its own terms and privacy policy.

Information we collect automatically. When you use the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, device and browser type, operating system, the pages you view, referring/exit URLs, and the dates and times of your visits.

Cookies and similar technologies. See Section 6.

4. How we use your information and our legal bases

We use personal data for the purposes below. Where the GDPR applies, we rely on the corresponding legal basis:

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time (see Section 9).

5. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share personal data only as described below:

• Service providers / processors who perform services on our behalf, including: Stripe (payment processing), Google (analytics and advertising — see Section 6), our website hosting provider, and our email and communications providers. These parties may process your data only on our instructions.
• Legal and safety reasons — where required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of FAKTORY44, our users, or others.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

6. Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, measure performance, and (with your consent) deliver and measure advertising. We group cookies into categories: Necessary, Functional, Performance, Analytics, and Advertisement.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site and Google advertising cookies (including DoubleClick) for advertising measurement. Analytics and advertising cookies are set only with your consent.

When you first visit the Site, our cookie-consent banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies and choose your preferences. You can change your choices at any time through the “Cookie Settings” link on the Site, and you can control cookies through your browser settings.

7. International data transfers

We are based in the United States, and the personal data we collect is processed and stored in the United States and in the countries where our service providers operate. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, your personal data may be transferred to countries that do not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. Where we transfer such data, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism. You may contact us at hello@faktory44.com for more information.

8. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or tax requirements, and to resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. When personal data is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it.

9. Your privacy rights

If you are in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland (GDPR), you have the right to: access your personal data; request rectification of inaccurate data; request erasure (“right to be forgotten”); restrict or object to processing; data portability; and, where processing is based on consent, withdraw that consent at any time without affecting prior processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

If you are a California resident (CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to: know what personal information we collect and how we use and disclose it; request deletion; request correction; and opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined under California law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

How to exercise your rights. Email us at hello@faktory44.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.

10. Children’s privacy

The Site and our services are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 (or the minimum age required by your jurisdiction; under 13 in the United States under COPPA). If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

11. Data security

We maintain reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Third-party links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
