We use the information we collect in several ways:

1. To personalize your experience and better respond to your individual needs.
2. To improve our website and its offerings based on the feedback we receive from you.

How Do We Use Your Email Address?

By submitting your email address on this website, you agree to receive emails from us. You can opt out of these email lists at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link included in the emails. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to do so, either directly or through a third party. By submitting your email address, you also allow us to use it for customer audience targeting on sites like Facebook, where we display ads to people who have opted in to receive communications from us.

If you have submitted your email address solely for order processing, it will only be used for sending order-related information. If provided through another method, it may be used for other purposes mentioned in this policy.

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide Embrace Abilities services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Once we no longer need to use your information and no longer have any legal or regulatory obligations, we will either remove it from our systems or anonymize it so that it cannot identify you.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We implement a range of security measures to protect your personal information when you place an order, enter, submit, or access your personal details. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt sensitive information, and only authorized personnel with special access rights can access such systems. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financial details) is never stored. However, we cannot guarantee absolute security for any information you transmit to us, as no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Information About GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), this section explains how we collect and manage your data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR is an EU privacy and data protection law that gives residents of the EEA more control over their personal data. It applies to globally operating companies, not just EU-based businesses.

GDPR defines personal data as any information relating to an identifiable individual. Examples of personal data include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, and more. The regulation ensures personal data is processed in a fair, legal, and transparent manner for a specific purpose. You have the right to access your personal data and request that it be updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.

California Residents

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), we must disclose the categories of personal information we collect, how we use it, and the third parties with whom we share it. California residents have rights such as:

• The right to know and access the categories of personal information we collect, the purposes for which it is collected, and the sources from which we collect it.
• The right to delete personal information, and to close your account with us.
• The right to request that your data not be sold (though we do not sell the personal information of our users).

We will respond to such requests within one month. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
