We appreciate your interest in our service. We understand that your privacy is our responsibility. For this reason, we formalized our Privacy Policy, which is equal for all users. By continuing to use our service, you automatically accept the conditions of this Privacy Policy.
Please read this Privacy Policy to know what personal information we collect and how we may use it. If you disagree with any statement of this document, you should immediately stop using our service.
Information We Collect
Our company acts as the Data Controller, responsible for collecting, processing, and storing personal data in compliance with applicable data protection laws to ensure your privacy is protected.
Personally Identifiable Information (hereinafter – personal information) is any information that can directly or indirectly identify the person through such data. There are two ways we collect personal information. The first is the you voluntarily providing us while registering on our platform or otherwise contacting us. The second category of information is automatically collected data.
Voluntarily Provided Information
This personal information, its extent, and its retention period depend on the context of your interactions with us, your use of our website, and the features you use. It may include the following:
- Your name and contact data. When you register on ChalkyPapers, you specify your name, email, phone number, and other related contact data. This information will only be used to process orders, keep you updated, ask for clarifications, or request additional materials.
- Credentials. We store your encrypted login data for your further authentication and account access. Our staff cannot access this information. The application of login data is totally automatic.
- Transaction data. We only work with secure and trustworthy payment systems. No billing details are revealed to third persons. To prevent online fraud, we will send your payment receipt and ID information for you to verify.
All this information will be retained for a necessary period. We never store your payment details, transactions, bank accounts, or credit card numbers. We use reliable and reputable third-party contractors to carry out such operations. We also never collect sensitive data about our users, such as race, gender, religious affiliations, and health information.
Automatically Provided Information
During your visit to ChalkyPapers.com, we automatically collect certain information about you. It does not directly relate to your identity (such as in the case of your name or contact details). The list of the information may vary, but it usually includes the type and characteristics of your device, IP address, browser type, operating system, country, location, language preferences, referring URLs, time of entry to and exit from our website, etc. We need this information to maintain the operability and security of ChalkyPapers. It may also be used for our internal analytical studies and/or reporting.
Legal Basis for Collection of Personal Information
We collect and process personal information for a reasonable period of time based on one or more lawful grounds, as permitted under applicable United States federal and state laws. Depending on the circumstances, such legal bases include:
- User consent
Where you have provided your express consent to the collection and processing of your personal information, as permitted under applicable U.S. privacy and consumer protection laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and similar state privacy statutes. - Contractual necessity
Where the collection and processing of personal information is necessary to perform, administer, or enforce agreements entered into with users or service providers, including the provision of requested services. - Compliance with legal obligations
Where collection and processing are required to comply with applicable United States federal, state, or local laws, regulations, subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes, including obligations arising under consumer protection, tax, and electronic communications laws. - Legitimate business and security interests
Where collection and processing are reasonably necessary to protect the security, integrity, and functionality of our website and services, including the prevention of fraud, unauthorized access, misuse, malware, and other unlawful or harmful activities, as permitted under applicable U.S. law, including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030).
Protection of Personal Information
We make a reasonable effort to protect ChalkyPapers from viruses, security breaches, malware, and other similar threats. In particular, we use secured networks to make your experience with us safe and pleasurable. If a data breach happens despite all our precautions, we will notify all our visitors, users, and vendors via a standard in-site notification within one business day.
Duration of Storage of Personal Information
We will retain your personal information only for the period required to carry out our activity and delete or anonymize it as soon as there is no ongoing legitimate need to process it. Longer retention is possible if required or permitted by the applicable law. If it is impossible to delete or anonymize your personal information (e.g., when it has been transmitted to backup archives), we will isolate it from further processing and securely store it until deletion or anonymization becomes possible.
Personal Data Security
We always prioritize the security of the personal information of our users. Still, we urge you to consider that there is no completely secure method of electronic transmission. With the help of all reasonable means, we do our best to protect your data and ensure the highest level of confidentiality.
