Introduction: This policy is our way of letting you know how we handle your personal data with care, and utmost respect. But Privacy Policies are boring, so we tried to have fun making ours. We don’t recommend that for our clients. Please don’t sue us.

Who We Are: We’re the folks behind the curtain over at Hornsby Creative and our sub brand Peak Promo WNC, bringing you all the creative goodies from www.hornsbycreativegroup.com Want to know more about our quirks and features? Our About page is like an open book, but harder to put on your bookshelf.

Data Collection and Usage:

• Comments: We treasure your thoughts! Unfortunately it’s mostly spammers who leave comments. So we disable them.

• Media: Uploading images? Please strip away any GPS data unless you want strangers knowing where you shot that “secret” beach photo. We’re all about surprises, but not the creepy kind. You can;t upload them to our site anyway, But consider this friendly general internet advice from your weird uncle.

• Contact Forms: We use the WP forms and also the Convert Kit plugins to manage your inquiries. It’s like a digital postman, only more efficient. Here are their privacy policies: https://wpforms.com/privacy-policy/ + https://convertkit.com/privacy

• Cookies: Who doesn’t love cookies? If you leave a comment, you can save your details in these digital nibbles so you won’t have to re-enter them fora while. Just remember, after a year, they’re metaphorically stale. I don’t know about you but all this cookie talk makes me quite hungry. Let’s break into song. 

Embedded Content from Other Websites: Articles on our site may include embedded content. It’s like a window to another digital dimension, and it behaves just the same as if you visited the other site.

Analytics: We track data like a detective, using it to make our site better. If the idea of being tracked gives you the heebie-jeebies, Google’s got an opt-out add-on Here is their privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US

Data Sharing: Your data is shared only with our internal team and select partners who help us make magic happen. Although some of these partners may wear black suits and sunglasses, we swear on our collection of vintage typewriters that we’re not using your data for evil.

We don’t really have a collection of vintage typewriters, but we wish we did.

Data Retention: Your comments are disabled so they fall on deaf ears as you yell at your screen. However they are very secure as we don’t have them. Your phone is probably listening to them though and you should probably be more worried about that. User profiles? They’re all yours to control, as you don;t have any on this site.

User Rights: You’ve got rights! Request an exported file of your data or ask for a data erasure. Just know that some data might need to stick around for legal or security reasons. Also this would be a pain so we hope you don’t do it since we really don’t keep much.

Data Breach Procedures: In the unlikely event of a data breach, we’ve got a plan involving digital warriors and a sprinkle of magic. We’re on guard, so you don’t have to be. 

Third Parties and Automated Decision Making: We play nice with others and sometimes share data with pals in the industry.. Automated decisions? We keep them to a minimum, ensuring they’re as personal as a handwritten note. However we do use AI assistance like Chat GPT a lot along with other similar tools from time to time.

Regulatory Disclosure: We’re all about creativity, community, and cookies. This policy is our ode to transparency and trust.

Everyone is creative.

A creative life requires bravery and action, honesty and hard work. We are here to support you, celebrate with you, and encourage you to make the things you love.

We believe in the power of community. We believe in giving a damn. We believe in face-to-face connections, in learning from others, in hugs and high-fives.

We bring together people who are driven by passion and purpose, confident that they will inspire one another, and inspire change in neighborhoods and cities around the world.

Everyone is welcome.

Actually that’s the Creative Mornings manifesto.

Jokes aside: Your privacy is a big deal to us. If you’ve got questions or need a digital shoulder to lean on, we’re here for you. Together, let’s make the internet a safer, funnier, and more creative space.

12/29/23 – This policy is as fresh as today’s coffee, but check back for updates.

Also, MGMT should make an album called GDPR

In case they do, I went ahead and made the album cover and yeah I know I misspelled GDPR. It’s modern art challenging the norms of patriarchal acronyms.
