Information may be collected on our website (the “Site”). Cowgirl uses this information to deliver the services offered on the Site, to inform you of changes to the Site or your account, to enhance the Site, and to prevent illegal or potentially prohibited conduct.

  • We do not rent or sell your personally identifiable information to third parties for marketing purposes.

  • We do not share your contact information without your consent.

1.         Please Read the Whole Policy

This Privacy Policy governs Cowgirl’s information management policies including how Cowgirl gathers, stores or shares your information, if at all. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information that is gathered or collected offline. By using the Site and by submitting information to Cowgirl, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and to any other applicable terms. This Privacy Policy is intended to provide you with a clear explanation of how, when, and why we collect and use your personal information, as well as an explanation of your legal rights. Nothing in this policy is intended to override the terms of any contract you have with us or any rights you have under applicable data privacy laws.

Please read the entire policy and make sure you fully understand our practices before using our services. If you do not agree with our practices you must immediately leave the Site. If you have any questions after fully reading the policy, please contact us at: legal@cowgirlag.com.

From time to time, we may develop new or offer additional services.  If the introduction of services results in any material changes in the way we collect or process your information we will provide you with more information and update this policy.

2.         What Information Is Collected?

We collect two types of information from visitors and users. The first, unidentified and non-identifiable information (“Anonymous Information”) does not enable Cowgirl to identify the visitor or user from whom it was collected. The Anonymous Information collected by Cowgirl may consist of the date, time, length and non-precise location of your visit. Cowgirl will not aggregate, use or share Anonymous Information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes but please review the privacy policy of our website provider SquareSpace to see how they may use Anonymous Information they gather from the Site.

The second type of information we collect is individually identifiable information, meaning information that can identify an individual or may, with reasonable efforts, lead to the identification of an individual (“PII”).  PII collected by Cowgirl consists of contact details provided by users when contacting us through the Site (e-mail address, full name, phone number, what services you are looking for, how you found our Site), correspondence through the Site, and any other PII provided directly by visitors to Cowgirl.  If any Anonymous Information is linked to PII, it is treated as PII as long as the connection exists.

You may request to review, amend, or delete any and all information associated with your personal information by sending an e-mail to legal@cowgirlag.com.

3. How Is Information Collected?

Cowgirl collects information about you only if we have a reason for such collection, such as to provide the services, to communicate with you, or to improve our Site. Information is collected in three ways:

(a) Information collected automatically through accessing the Site. When you visit the Site (or any website), your actions while your browse the Site or access any links, either directly through the Site or with the help of third-party services such as cookies, are tracked. Learn more about how we use cookies and third-party services in Section 7 below.

(b) Information you provide Cowgirl. When you contact us directly, we collect the PII you provide us.  We may also store all communications you have directly with us.

(c) Information obtained from outside sources. You can learn more about these practices in Section 7 below.

4. Why Is Information Collected and When is it Shared?

We use the information we collect (both Anonymous Information and PII) to operate and improve the Site. 

We do not share your PII with outside parties except to the extent necessary to operate our Site. Google Analytics, Calendly and Squarespace are used to run the Site any may have access to your PII. Please review their privacy policies to learn more.

In the future, we may sell to, buy, merge with, or partner with other businesses. In such transactions, Anonymous Information and PII may be among the transferred assets.

Cowgirl will not sell, license, rent, or otherwise disclose your PII except as stated herein, unless under the following circumstances: (1) you have affirmatively given your consent; (2) we previously notified you of the disclosure in this Privacy Policy or when you provided your information on the Site; (3) we are compelled by law, legal process, or court order to disclose; (4) disclosure is required to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may cause harm to, or interference with, Cowgirl’s rights or property, our users, or anyone else; or (5) to respond to an inquiry, request or complaint that you have made. Cowgirl may cooperate with Internet service providers to identify users whenever required to comply with law, to enforce compliance with this Privacy Policy or our Terms, or to protect the Site, our customers and others.

5. Where is Information Stored?

Cowgirl uses industry standard technologies to safeguard your data (both Anonymous Data and PII) from unauthorized use and disclosure and to prohibit possible security breaches of the Site. Unfortunately, no website, application, computer system or online communication is completely secure. Cowgirl cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. Your use of the Site is at your own risk.

Data will be maintained, processed and stored by Cowgirl in the United States of America or other jurisdictions, as necessary, for proper delivery of the services or as required by law. PII is kept only as long as necessary to provide you with access to the Site and for legitimate and essential business purposes, such as making data-driven business decisions about new features and offerings.

6. Requesting Deletion of Information and Your Rights

Upon written request Cowgirl will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your PII. You may access, correct, or request deletion of your PII by emailing: legal@cowgirlag.com. We will respond to your request within a timeframe imposed by local laws or a reasonable timeframe.

Please note that permanently deleting your Cowgirl Site information erases all of your information from our system. After completing this process your data will be removed permanently, and Cowgirl will not be able to restore your data in the future.

If you are located in countries that fall under the scope of the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), data protection laws give you rights with respect to your personal data, subject to exemptions provided by law. These rights include:
