EccaNova, LLC, owner and operator of the Website and the Service, is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the District of Columbia, United States.

We will use such information in accordance with the notices provided by our Customers and in accordance with the choices you made with respect to such Personal Information, as communicated to us by our Customers.

Opting Out of Marketing Communications
If you receive marketing or promotional emails from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions contained within the email or by sending an email to the address provided in the “Contact Us” section.
The Website is hosted and the Service is provided in the United States of America. In the performance of our Service and business operations, Personal Information we collect or receive may be stored or transferred internationally throughout our organization and to our service providers or agents, in accordance with applicable data privacy laws. Transfers to third parties are covered by the provisions in this Privacy Policy under Notice and Choice.
We will endeavor to obtain assurances that any such service provider or agent will provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by this Privacy Policy and will notify us if it makes a determination it can no longer meet this obligation.
We use model contractual clauses and other mechanisms approved by the European Union and Switzerland, respectively, for transfers of Personal Information from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and Switzerland.
Where we know that any third party to whom we have provided Personal Information is using or disclosing Personal Information in a manner contrary to this Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or disclosure. With respect to such onward transfers to agents, and to the extent we are responsible for the event, we will remain liable should our agents process Personal Information in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
We endeavor to use Personal Information only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by the Individual. We will take reasonable steps designed to ensure that only Personal Information that is relevant to its intended use, accurate, complete, current, and otherwise reliable in relation to the purposes for which the information was obtained is used by us for as long as we retain possession of such information. Our personnel have a responsibility to assist us in maintaining accurate, complete and current Personal Information. When acting as a provider of services to our Customers, we endeavor only to process Personal Information that is relevant to our Service, and for purposes compatible with those for which the Personal Information was collected; wherever possible, such Personal Information is non-identified.
EU data protection law makes a distinction between organizations that process Personal Information for their own purposes (known as “controllers”) and organizations that process personal data on behalf of other organizations (known as “processors”). If you have a question or complaint about how your Personal Information is handled, these should always be directed to the relevant controller, since the controller has primary responsibility for your Personal Information.
NOTE: The following rights reflect rights recognized under the GDPR. Additional rights specific to California residents are set forth in a separate section at the end of this Privacy Policy (“Supplemental Privacy Notice for California Residents”).
(For Audience Members) When acting as a provider of services to our Customers, we have no direct relationship with Audience Members, and any such individuals who seek access, or who seek to correct, amend, delete, or restrict processing of their Personal Information should direct their inquiries to the relevant Customer which has transferred such Personal Information to us for processing. We will assist our Customers in fulfilling their obligations under applicable law to respond to such requests by individuals regarding their Personal Information.
(For Customers and other Visitors to Our Website) Under laws in certain countries in which we operate, Customers and other Visitors to our Website from those countries have a right to access Personal Information about themselves, and to correct and/or delete Personal Information that is inaccurate, incomplete or outdated, restrict processing of Personal Information, or port Personal Information to another entity. We will, upon request, provide you with confirmation regarding whether we are processing Personal Information about you, consistent with applicable law. In addition, upon your request, we will take reasonable steps to correct and/or delete your Personal Information that is found to be inaccurate, incomplete or processed in a manner non-compliant with this Privacy Policy or applicable law, restrict, or port your Personal Information, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, where the rights of persons other than you would be violated or where doing so is otherwise consistent with applicable law. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee to cover costs for providing copies of Personal Information that you request.
Please note that while any deletions will be reflected in active user databases (as updated within a reasonable period of time), we may retain all Personal Information for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, and satisfaction of other legal obligations we reasonably believe applicable.
You authorize us to use and disclose to third parties any new or modified information that you provide in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and you agree that we are under no obligation to delete or modify information that you have previously provided us as to which you have not instructed us to take such action. Please remember, however, that if we have already properly disclosed some of your Personal Information to third parties (other than authorized subprocessors), we cannot access that Personal Information any longer and cannot force the deletion, restriction or modification of any such information by the parties to whom we have properly made those disclosures.
We may retain your Personal Information to comply with laws, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our contracts, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.
We encourage you to raise questions about our processing or disclosure of your Personal Information by contacting us, as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below.
We will undertake reasonable efforts to investigate and attempt to resolve complaints and disputes regarding use and disclosure of Personal Information in accordance with the principles contained in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy addresses only our use and disclosure of information we collect from or about you. The use and disclosure restrictions contained in this Privacy Policy do not apply to any third party and we do not control the privacy policies of third parties. The Service and Website and content on them may contain links to other sites and resources controlled by third parties. In addition, if you disclose information to others, including to other uses, you are subject to the privacy policies or privacy statements of those third parties where applicable. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these other sites or resources, and you should consult the privacy policies or privacy statements of such other sites and resources.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. Taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the information we process, We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect information in our possession against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing. This includes, for example, firewalls, password protection, encryption and other access and authentication controls.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or store on the Service, and you do so at your own risk.
