How we store your information 

Security 

We employ reasonable security measures to ensure that your personal data is kept secure, including security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, for the duration of your use of our Services. We limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. 

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so. 

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Website, therefore any transmission remains at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use reasonable procedures and security features in order to prevent unauthorized access. 

Users Outside the U.S.

Our Services are controlled and operated within the United States. Any information we collect may be transferred to, and processed, stored, and accessed by, us, our service providers, and our vendors in the United States and in other jurisdictions where we, our service providers, or our vendors operate. These jurisdictions may have data privacy laws that may not be as protective as those of your home jurisdiction, and courts and other authorities may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to access information about you subject to such data privacy laws. By using the Risen Motherhood Services, you agree to this transfer, processing, storage, and access of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

If you reside in the Designated Countries, your personal data will be transferred, processed, stored, and accessed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the GDPR.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

We may store and use your data outside your country. We may process data both inside and outside of the United States and rely on legally-provided mechanisms to lawfully transfer data across borders. 

When applicable, we will use European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses as a legal mechanism for data transfers from the Designated Countries. These clauses are contractual commitments between companies transferring personal data, binding them to protect the privacy and security of your data. These clauses are designed to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of the misuse of your personal data. 

Keeping your information up to date 

If your personal information details change, you may contact us to request an update or correction using our Contact Information below. We will endeavor to update your personal data information within thirty (30) days of any new or updated personal data being provided to us, in order to ensure that the information we hold about you is as accurate and up to date as possible. 

Where we store your information 

The information that we collect from you and process as a result of your use of the services may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the Designated Countries.

By submitting your personal data and accessing this Website, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. 

How long we keep your information 

We retain your information for so long as it needs to be kept for legitimate business or legal purposes. Some data you can delete whenever you like, some data is deleted automatically, and some data we retain for longer periods of time when necessary. We try to ensure that our services protect information from accidental or malicious deletion. Because of this, there may be delays between when you delete something and when copies are deleted from our active and backup systems.

IP Addresses and Cookies 

We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration, customer support and to collect aggregate information for internal reporting purposes. 

In addition, our Services may use cookies. A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we put on your computer or device if you agree. These cookies allow us to distinguish you from other users of our Services, which helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Services and also allows us to improve our Services. 

The cookies we use are "analytical" cookies. Some of the common uses for our cookies are as follows: 

  • To recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Services when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our Services work, for example by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

  • To identify and authenticate a user across different pages of our Services, within our own Services, in a session or across different sessions. This is so that the user does not need to provide a password on every page the user visits; and

  • To be able to retrieve a user’s previously stored data, for example, information that the user previously submitted to our Services, so as to facilitate reuse of this information by the user.
