2. Personal Data Processed
When you use the Website, Ever After, LLC collects and processes data relating to you (as a person) that identifies you, either alone or together with other information that has already been collected. Ever After, LLC can also collect and process data about others when you provide these to Ever After, LLC.
This information is referred to as “Personal Data” and may be collected by Ever After, LLC if you provide it voluntarily (eg by subscribing to the newsletter, or using Ever After, LLC services) or simply by analyzing your behavior on the Website.
Personal data that Ever After, LLC may process through the Website are:
A. Name, contact details and other Personal Data
In various areas of the Website – especially when you create an account on the Website – you may be asked to provide information such as name, telephone / mobile number, email address, date of birth, country of residence, address, etc. If you register for certain services, you may also be asked for your preferred method of payment – PayPal, bank transfer, or credit card.
By providing your phone number, you agree to receive text messages from Ever After. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. You may at any time reply STOP to opt-out. By submitting, you authorize Ever After to send text messages with offers and other information. Consent is not a condition of purchase.
In addition, if you participate in surveys and other promotions which may be available on the Website, as well as whenever you communicate with Ever After, LLC through the contact details provided in the Website or with Customer Service, Ever After, LLC may collect additional information which you choose to provide.
B. Job applications
If you register to apply for a job on the website, you will be asked to provide a variety of Personal Data, such as employment information ( eg CV, cover letter, professional qualifications, expectations and desired job, earliest possible entry, URLs etc.).

C. Special categories of Personal Data
In certain areas of the website (such as the invitation request form), there are free text fields that you can use to provide Ever After, LLC with information or requests. Here also Personal Data can be entered.
As far as these free text boxes are editable, you could also (by mistake or intentionally) enter more sensitive Personal Data, such as data that allows for inferences about ethnicity, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or membership in a union. The content you upload through these text boxes may also (by mistake or intentionally) contain sensitive information about you, such as genetic data, biometric data, or health, sexual or sexual orientation information.
Ever After, LLC asks that you do not disclose any sensitive Personal Data on the Website unless you consider this to be strictly necessary. Because passing on such information is purely optional, please always keep in mind that Ever After, LLC needs your explicit permission to process this type of Personal Data. Ever After, LLC therefore urges you to give your explicit permission to process this type of Personal Data if you decide to divulge it.
D. Personal Data related to other persons.
As discussed in the previous section, you will find free text boxes in certain areas of the Website where you can post messages to Ever After, LLC. These communications may (by mistake or intentionally) contain Personal Data related to other persons.
If you choose to share Personal Data with others, you are the independent data controller of that Personal Data and assume all the associated legal responsibilities and responsibilities. This implies, among other things, that you must fully indemnify Ever After, LLC for any complaints, claims or claims for damages resulting from the processing of such Personal Data by third parties whose Personal Data you have provided through the Website.
Because Ever After, LLC does not collect this type of data directly from others (but collects it indirectly from you), you must obtain permission from these individuals before you share information about them with Ever After, LLC. If you fail to do so, you must otherwise ensure that there are other reasonable grounds why you have the right to share this information with Ever After, LLC.
E. Browsing data
The operation of the Website, as with all websites on the Internet, involves the use of computer systems and software that collects information about the users of the website as part of routine operation. While Ever After, LLC does not collect this information in order to associate you with certain users, it is still possible to identify those users either directly through this information or through other collected data. For this reason, these data should also be considered as Personal Data.
These data include, for example, various characteristics of your operating system and your IT environment such as IP address, location (country), the domain name of your computer, the URI addresses (Uniform Resource Identifier) of the resources you visit, the website request time, such time requirements, type of request to the server, extent of the file received upon request, the numeric code to the status of the response of the server (successful, errors, etc.) and so on.
These data are used to compile statistical information about the use of the Website, to ensure correct operation and to detect errors and / or misuse of the Website. Except for the latter purpose, this data will not be stored for more than 7 working days.
F. Cookies
The Ever After, LLC Website uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Ever After, LLC pages, or register with Ever After, LLC site or services, a cookie helps Ever After, LLC to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.
