Privacy Policy

Scope

This policy applies to information collected through the Bourgeois Media & Consulting website and through direct communications with us. It does not control the privacy practices of Amazon, PayPal, streaming services, social networks, or other third-party platforms linked from this website.

Information we collect

We may collect information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, telephone number, message, order or booking details, and other information needed to respond to an inquiry, fulfill a direct purchase, or provide speaking and consulting services.

When you use the website, our hosting and security providers may automatically receive limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, requested pages, and the date and time of a request.

How information is used

We use information to answer inquiries, provide requested services, process and support direct orders, administer speaking and consulting engagements, maintain business records, protect the website, prevent fraud or misuse, comply with legal obligations, and improve the website.

We do not sell personal information or use it to create advertising profiles.

Payments and service providers

Payments may be processed by PayPal or another provider identified at checkout. Payment providers receive and handle payment credentials under their own terms; Bourgeois Media & Consulting does not receive complete card or bank-account details.

We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website, communicate with customers, process payments, fulfill orders, maintain records, or provide professional advice. They receive only the information reasonably needed to perform those services. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the website.

Third-party websites

Purchases made through Amazon or another outside seller, and listening activity on music or streaming platforms, are governed by that provider’s privacy policy and terms. Review the provider’s policy before submitting information to it.

Retention and security

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, customer service, legal and tax obligations, dispute resolution, and legitimate business records.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Your choices and rights

You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information held by Bourgeois Media & Consulting, or withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing. Some information may be retained when required for legal, accounting, security, or recordkeeping purposes.

Residents of jurisdictions that provide additional privacy rights may submit a request using the contact information below. We may need to verify the request before responding and will not discriminate against anyone for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided such information, contact us so it can be reviewed and deleted when appropriate.

Policy changes

We may update this policy as the website, store, or services change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
