Private Policy

Who We Are

Our website address is: [https://whitenstripe.com.ng]

At White and Stripe (a destination), we are fully committed to maintaining the accuracy, confidentiality, and security of your personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”). This Privacy Policy explains how we operate, and it reflects our dedication to protecting your data. Our privacy practices follow the Canadian Standards Association’s Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information and comply with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.

Introduction

We take full responsibility for maintaining and safeguarding the Personal Information under our control. To ensure compliance with our privacy policy, we have designated an individual (or individuals) to oversee the process.

Identifying Purposes

We collect, use, and disclose Personal Information primarily to provide the products or services you have requested. Additionally, we may offer you other products or services that we believe may interest you. You will always be informed about the purposes of information collection at or before the time of data collection. In some cases, the purposes may be obvious, such as when you provide your name and address to complete a service request.

Consent

We require your knowledge and consent to collect, use, and disclose Personal Information, except when the law mandates or allows otherwise. Although providing your Personal Information is voluntary, declining to provide certain details may limit our ability to deliver products or services to you. Rest assured, we will never require you to provide consent as a condition for receiving a product or service unless necessary.

Limiting Collection

We limit the collection of Personal Information to only the details necessary for the purposes we identify. With your consent, we may collect Personal Information through various methods, including in person, by mail, or over the Internet.

Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention

We use or disclose your Personal Information solely for the purposes it was collected, unless you consent to additional uses, or if required by law. We retain your Personal Information only for the period necessary to fulfill the original purpose or as required by law.

Accuracy

We strive to maintain Personal Information in an accurate, complete, and up-to-date form, as necessary, to achieve the purposes for which it was collected.

Safeguarding Customer Information

We implement appropriate security safeguards to protect your Personal Information from loss, unauthorized use, or disclosure. The level of security depends on the information’s sensitivity. For example, if you leave a comment on our website, we retain the comment and metadata indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. Users who register on our site can also view, edit, or delete their Personal Information, except for usernames.

Openness

We are committed to transparency and will provide you with clear information about our policies and practices for managing your Personal Information.

Customer Access

Upon request, we will inform you of the existence, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information and grant you access to it. You can verify its accuracy and completeness, and if necessary, request amendments. However, certain legal, security, or proprietary restrictions may prevent us from disclosing specific information.

Media

If you upload images to the website, we advise against including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can extract this information from your images.

Handling Customer Complaints and Suggestions

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data from the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser information, to help with spam detection. Additionally, we may share an anonymized string of your email address with the Gravatar service. After approving your comment, your profile picture appears next to it.

If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy policy, you may contact us at [whitenstripe@gmail.com] (mailto: whitenstripe@gmail.com).
