Effective Date: January 24, 2026
 

Stefen and Sam (“SandS,” "me", or “I”) provides this privacy notice to describe how I collect and process the personal information of individuals who visit my website, www.stefenandsam.com (“Site”) or interact with me offline, such as through email, SMS, or other telephonic communications.

I collect the information you provide me through the Site and offline, including your name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, social media information, payment information, and any other information you choose to provide.  I collect this information when you complete online forms, or interact with me for any other purpose.  

Through WiX, I may also gather technical information including, but not limited to, browser type, IP address, pages visited and other activities on the Site, device type, and time and date of visit.  I may also receive information about your current location if permitted by your browser settings.  I may use cookies or similar technology to collect such information.

 

Information Use

 

I process your personal information, including for the following purposes:

  • To communicate with you;

  • To confirm and process online transactions;

  • To create mailing lists, including mailing lists for purchase;

  • To improve the Site, including to improve the features, tools, functionality, and content available on the Site and through SandS;

  • To comply with the law; and/or

  • As otherwise disclosed at the time personal information is collected.

 

Where I intend to process your personal information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was collected, I will provide you with information regarding the purpose for the processing, as well as other relevant information, prior to processing your personal information for the new purpose.

 

Information Sharing 

 

I share your personal information, including with the following parties:

  • Third parties that perform services on my behalf, including those that carry out activities related to my business operations, including data storage providers, software providers, insurers and banking partners;

  • Pursuant to a subpoena, court order, governmental inquiry, or other legal process or as otherwise required by law, or to protect my rights or the rights of third parties; or

  • With your consent or as otherwise disclosed at the time of data collection or sharing.

 

I may share information that has been de-identified or aggregated without limitation.

International Visitors 

This section applies to those that visit my Site from the European Economic Area or Switzerland.

SandS processes personal information with your consent (e.g., when SandS processes personal information to provide goods and services you request, such as to process donations you make).

On other occasions, SandS may process personal information when it needs to do this to fulfill a contract or where required to do this by law.

If necessary, SandS may also process personal information when it is in SandS' legitimate interests to do this (e.g., for customer service and fraud detection purposes) and when these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.

Please be aware that the personal information I collect may be transferred to and maintained on servers or databases located outside your state, province, country, or other jurisdiction, where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your location. If you are located outside of the United States, please be advised that I process and store personal information in the United States.

 

You have a right to the following:

  • To request access to the personal information I hold about you;

  • To request that I rectify or erase your personal information;

  • To request that I restrict or block the processing of your personal information;

  • Under certain circumstances, to receive personal information about you that I store and transmit to another without hindrance from me, including requesting that I provide your personal information directly to another, i.e., a right to data portability; and

  • Where I previously obtained your consent, to withdraw consent to processing your personal information.

 

To exercise these rights, contact stefen@stefenandsam.com.  Please be aware that SandS may be unable to afford these rights to you under certain circumstances, such as if I am legally prevented from doing so.

Additionally, you have the right to lodge a complaint against me.  To do so, contact the supervisory authority in your country of residence.

Retention

I will process and store your information only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of the storage, or as permitted by law.  The criteria used to determine the period of storage of information is the respective statutory retention period or as provided in our record retention policy.  After expiration of that period, the corresponding information is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or the initiation of a contract.

Third-Party Links and Tools

I may work with third parties that collect data about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time for non-advertising purposes.  SandS uses Google Analytics and other third-party services to improve the performance of the Site and for analytics and marketing purposes.  For more information about how Google Analytics collects and uses data when you use my Site, visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and to opt out of Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

The Site may provide links to third-party websites or apps, including my social media pages.  I do not control the privacy practices of those websites or apps, and they are not covered by this privacy notice.  You should review the privacy notices of other websites or apps that you use to learn about their data practices.

The Site may also include integrated social media tools or “plug-ins,” such as social networking tools offered by third parties.  If you use these tools to share personal information or you otherwise interact with these features on the Site, those companies may collect information about you and may use and share such information in accordance with your account settings, including by sharing such information with the general public.  Your interactions with third-party companies and your use of their features are governed by the privacy notices of the companies that provide those features.  I encourage you to carefully read the privacy notices of any accounts you create and use.
