LLC on the website at dudethatscreative.com (along with all subdomains, collectively, the “Website”). This Privacy Policy is only applicable to the Website and not to any other websites that you may be able to access from the Website, each of which may have data collection, storage, and use practices and policies that differ materially from this Privacy Policy. When you leave the Website via a link to another website, you are subject to that site’s Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and other policies (“Third Party website policies”) applicable to that site and you should review the Third Party website policies.

2. Information Collection and Use Practices: i. Types of Information Collected Creative Dept. LLC may collect two different types of information, Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) and Non-Personally Identifiable Information (“Non-PII”). PII and Non-PII may be collected anytime you access or use a Creative Dept. LLC website, including this Website. PII and Non-PII may also be collected by Creative Dept. LLC during in-person discussions, telephone conversations, and electronic or other written communications.

Personally Identifiable Information Collected : In order for you to access and use the services offered through the Websites, we may require you to provide information that identifies you as an individual ( i.e. , “PII”). PII may include the following categories of information: (1) Contact Data (such as your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number(s)); (2) Financial Data (such as your account or credit card number); and (3) Demographic Data (such as your zip code and age). If you communicate with us by email, post messages to any of our chat groups, bulletin boards, or forums, or otherwise complete online forms or surveys, any information provided may be collected as PII.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information Collected : We may automatically track and collect the following categories of information when you visit our Website: (1) IP addresses; (2) domain servers; (3) types of computers accessing the Website; and (4) types of web browsers used to access the Website (collectively “Non-PII”). Non-PII is anonymous information that does not personally identify you but is helpful for improving your experience on the Website.

ii. Uses of Information Collected: Creative Dept. LLC uses PII to respond to your inquiries, provide you with services you have requested, keep you informed of services and products Creative Dept. LLC thinks may be of interest to you, and otherwise personalize your experience with Creative Dept. LLC, among other reasons. Creative Dept. LLC does not sell or lease PII about you to others.

iii. Technology We May Use: Cookies, Web Beacons, and Clear Gifs: Cookies and web beacons are small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages. Creative Dept. LLC collects information through cookies and web beacons about your web browsing activities such as the address of the page you are visiting, the address of the referrer page you previously visited, the time you are viewing the page, your browsing environment, and your display settings.

Creative Dept. LLC does not use cookies, web beacons, or clear gifs to collect or store any PII.

We may disclose PII or other data to comply with the law or legal requirements, enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements, or protect our rights, property, the safety of our users, or others.
