terms of use (e-courses)

The following Terms of Use govern your access and use of this website. By accessing or using this website you indicate your agreement to these Terms of Use. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms of Use, do not access or use this website. 

By registering for any free download or purchasing an e-course or product provided via Lee Anne White Photography, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions:

• You confirm that you are purchasing a single license for each e-course, membership, or product, and that your purchase is for your individual use only.
  

• You acknowledge that this website and e-courses presented on Ruzuku and elsewhere contain intellectual property owned by Lee Anne White, including copyrights, trademarks, and proprietary information. You may not publish, create derivative works from, or in any way exploit any of the content, in whole or in part, without my prior, express written agreement.
  

• You acknowledge that any e-courses will be run online via password-protected classrooms and that it is your responsibility to ensure that you have a sufficiently capable internet connection to view class content including videos.
  

• You acknowledge that I reserve the right to delete any inappropriate comments in the classroom or any of the class-related community spaces, in order to provide and maintain a supportive classroom environment.
  

• You acknowledge that I reserve the right to refuse or cancel any registration or purchase, for any reason.
  

• You give permission for your email address to be added to my mailing list. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  

• You acknowledge that your registration or purchase is transferrable to another session of the same class, but is not refundable. Because you'll get access to the class and all the class resources (and because you'll get to keep your access for the full term outlined on the class sales page), your registration isn't transferrable to a different class.
  

• To the full extent permitted by law you agree that under no circumstances will I be liable (i) for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental, or consequential damages or any other damages arising in any way out of the use, reliance on, or inability to use this website or its products; or (ii) for any claim attributable to errors, omissions, or other inaccuracies in this website or its products. In no event shall my cumulative liability to you exceed the total purchase price of the products you have purchased.
  

• You acknowledge that these Terms and Conditions may be updated or amended at any time.

privacy policy

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase a product from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control. 

By accessing or using this website you indicate your agreement to this Privacy Policy. If you do not wish to be bound by this Privacy Policy, do not access or use this website.
 

Information I collect

To fulfill your purchase, you must provide me with certain information, such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the e-course or product you are purchasing. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information if you contact me directly. 

Like most website operators, I also collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. My purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how visitors use this website.
 

Why I need your information and how I use it.

I legally collect, use, and share your information in these instances:
 

• As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support.

• When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list.

• If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases as required by tax law.

• As necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest improve my services with the information.
   

Information sharing and disclosure

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Service Providers
I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my business, such as processing your payments (PayPal, Stripe, or Squarespace), hosting you in my online classroom (powered by Ruzuku), and fulfilling your subscription to my email newsletter (via Substack). I will only share your personal information with these third parties to the extent necessary to perform services related to purchases you have made. These trusted third parties agree to keep this information confidential.

Compliance with Laws
I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

Data Retention
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations such as filing income and sales tax returns, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 7 years. 

Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that websites store on visitors' computers, and that visitors' browsers provide to the website each time the visitor returns. Most websites use them. This website uses cookies to help identify and track visitors, their usage of the website, and their preferences. Visitors who do not want to have cookies placed on their computers can simply set their browsers to refuse cookies. Certain website features may not function properly without the aid of cookies. 

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
If you sign up for my mailing list, your information is stored with my email service provider, Substack. Substack is GDPR compliant as described in their privacy statement. 
 

YOUR RIGHTS

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. These rights are as follows:

Access
You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below. 

Change, Restrict, Delete
You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request. For example, you may unsubscribe from my email newsletter list.

Object
You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons. 

Complain
If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES

I may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.

HOW TO CONTACT ME

For purposes of data protection laws, I, Lee Anne White, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at leeanne@leeannewhite.com
