For California Residents: 
California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/


According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page, or as a minimum on the first significant page after entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’, and can be easily found on the page specified above.

 

Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes:

  • On our Privacy Policy Page

 

Users are able to change their personal information:

  • By emailing us

  • By logging in to their account


COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. Hive Five does not specifically market to children under 13.

 

Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

 

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

 

We will notify the users via email

  • Within 7 business days

 

We will notify the users via in site notification

  • Within 7 business days

 

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

 

CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

​

We collect your email address in order to:

  • Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.

  • Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.

  • We may also send you additional information related to your product and/or service.

To be in accordance with CANSPAM we agree to the following:

  • To not use false, or misleading subjects or email addresses.

  • Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.

  • Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.

  • Monitor third party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.

CANCELLATION POLICY

These simple steps are how I process cancellations.

Welcome! 

​

All sales are final as I do not currently provide refunds for purchased plans.  As you'll see in #2 below, if you purchase a plan and cancel it, I will continue to grant you access through the end of your billing period, after which no more payments will be processed.

​

I know it happens, but it's unfortunate when it does.  If you have to cancel your membership at any time, please consider the following:


1) Get in touch with me.  I'd love to talk about what's going on to make you consider canceling your membership.

 

2) If you have to, I understand, I will manually cancel your plan within 24 hours and you will receive a notification.  You will be granted continued access through the end of your billing cycle and no further payments will be processed.

 

3) If for some reason you cannot get in touch with me due to me falling ill or some other emergency, you are able to cancel your plan in two other ways through either of your payment portals: PayPal or Other Institution.

​

If you are still going to cancel your membership, well, I am very sorry to see you go.  

​

It was nice to have you as a member of The Hive while you were here. 

​

Know that you are welcome back anytime - just pick the membership or service which best suits your needs. 

If you are unsure of what that may be, let's get on a call and chat to see what we uncover.
