This information may also be shared as a result of the sale of Rachel E Stewart LLC or any branch of the company, as well as with any joint venture partners or affiliate marketers, should we deem it necessary to share such information. We will always take all reasonable measures to protect and safeguard your information.

 

This website, and the servers and parties which made this website available on a global scale, are located within and operate within the United States. The internet laws of the United States and Ohio govern any and all matters relating to this website, including content, as well as the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as they apply to residents of the European Union. Any information you choose to provide through this website, including subscribing to a newsletter, opting-in to receive a free gift, or purchasing something will be transferred to the United States for processing.

By visiting our website, you acknowledge this information, and by submitting any personal information onto our website, you hereby authorize this transfer and processing of information. 

 

By collecting and using your personal data, we are acting as a data controller, meaning we determine what information is collected, how long it is stored, and what the Personal Information will be used for.

To the best of our ability, we have researched and concluded that all third-party data processors we use have advised us they are compliant with the General Data Protection Regulations as well.
