We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Our Cookie Notice provides specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies.
5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
Unless otherwise required by law, we keep your information as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy notice.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice unless a more extended retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us to keep your personal information for longer than six months.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it. Suppose this is impossible (for example, because your data has been stored in backup archives). In that case, we will securely store it and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
We aim to protect your personal information through organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Website is at your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure environment.

If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to delete such data from our records promptly. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under 18, please contact us at hello@irenesdesign.com.

In some regions (like the European Economic Area), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws.

9. NEWSLETTER PRIVACY
We want to offer you the opportunity to volunteer certain information to us that is used for email and marketing purposes. This information includes, but is not limited to, your name and email. You can unsubscribe from any future communications via email, but we would like to maintain a database of past email subscribers.

10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers, mobile operating systems, and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference and not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
11. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?
Yes, we will update this notice to stay compliant with relevant laws.
We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Revised” date and effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you by prominently posting a notice or directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
