Who we are.

Keeping Life Sharp is a Christian blog where the website owner blogs about spiritual revelations and helpful articles regarding different identities in a woman’s life. This website does have a “Coming Soon” store that will sell self-care products, such as journals and inspirational shirts, as well as backpacks for one-self or mission donations and inspirational Christian children’s books.

On the website, if the customer chooses to purchase ANY products, then the privacy policy will secure the customer of their rights to maintain protection through any and every transaction. About contacting the website owner, please be sure to email: keepinglifesharp@gmail.com

Keeping Life Sharp VA Style is a virtual assistance website that offers services to assist customers’ needs with their businesses. About contacting the website owner, please be sure to email: hannahsharp@keepinglifesharpvastyle.com

What personal data do we collect and why do we collect it?

The customer’s information is solely collected through the consent of the customer’s decision and collected by the business owner only to provide services that were requested by the customer. Services which can include in products the Keeping Life Sharp, and Package purchases through Keeping Life Sharp VA Style. Personal information may include “personal data, such as name, email address, personal account preferences; transactional data, such as purchase information; and technical data, such as information about cookies”.

Though the website is protected through SSL and plugins through WordPress, the website owner does properly protect the customer’s information in receipt forms as well as analytical data just for tax purposes and business progress. Though the owner temporarily keeps the customer’s information, it is only information regarding the billing receipts information and possibly the customer’s name. Anything regarding payment card information will be deleted immediately after the business transaction and delivery is completed. All transactions are final and could be refundable regarding the situation and approval through the website owner’s decision, in this situation the owner would have to find a different way to reimburse the customer through another process. This gives relief to the customer that the payment information was secured and deleted after the first business transaction.

Please note that all customer information that is given on the Internet at any point is at risk of anything happening, even through extreme security. So, if the customer consents to share personal information in purchases, though it is protected through programs on WordPress, it is noted that the Website owner is not responsible for mishaps through program systems. The website owner would gladly help and show support in trying to help the customer IF the owner can but will not be liable over technical difficulties or program errors to the customer’s consent-given information.

How do we use the information that is gathered?

When navigating both websites, there may be data collected from the customer who under consent, chose to share their information with the website owner. For the most part, what is received from the customer is generally their information regarding payment for a package or an item of their choosing. This also includes if the customer has a refund or exchange request. That request will gather information from the customer and be used to help the customer receive what is asked for upon approval. They would send information such as Name, email, address, contact number, and payment type. This information will be used to proceed with the requested service that is asked for by the customer. The customer may receive a follow-up after correspondence through email, or telephone just to make sure that; the customer received everything that was asked for, to receive any promotional deals revolving around the packages and items, and to maybe take a short survey about the services that was provided so that they can receive a better service next time, as well as (regarding short survey), to make sure that the website is keeping up with its audience and bettering quality for them.

Contact forms

Contact forms are solely used to deliver great services to the customer by receiving information about their purchases of products or services. The owner would collect general information about the customer, such as Name, address, email, purchase plan with credit or debit transactions, and whatever else the customer chooses to provide. This also includes returns and exchanges, which you can read fully in the Return Policy section. The forms collected will be used pertaining to delivering great service to the customer and could be kept up to a year at most for the owners’ use of data collection in analytics for the website as well as business tax reasons. If the customer is a continuous customer using the “Virtual Assistance” site, then all work collected from the customer could last longer, depending on how long the customer chooses to work with the client (service provider). All of this is to benefit both parties for receiving what is desired upon request. The websites listed above may have a contact form plugin that collects your data and may keep it stored in the system for almost two years.

Who do we share your data with?

All Information gathered from users and customers will be shared with third parties regarding requests from the user and customer. An instance would be an online purchase of an item. Though it would be nice if the owner could do everything themselves, the website owner from whom you as the customer purchase would have to send consented and reasonable information to the product company who they work with side by side. If anything, the website owner might get to the point of storing the products in a privately owned facility and will send out the item to the customer personally ensuring that your private information is not just given out everywhere. But in that time, the owner will notify the customer in regards if there is a change of sent-out location. All third-party connections will be listed below as to where your information could be sent. Let it be known that every resourced third-party used has its protection policies and use of personal storage once the user and customer become involved with them. If anything from the user and customer’s point of action through the third party is used incorrectly without consent in sharing, then the user and customer must contact the third party to resolve any issues that were caused.  

Note to self, WordPress does not share personal data with anyone else.

What third parties do we receive data from

Currently, there are no third parties. If there were to be any future parties, it would all be done through Facebook, Calendly, Google Workspace, Zoom, and the payment gateway that would be convenient for clients and customers.

. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND RESOURCES

“Occasionally, we enter into contracts with carefully selected third parties to assist us in servicing you (for example, providing you with customer service, fraud detection and deterrence, job recruitment or access to advertising assets and providing us with information technology and storage services) or to assist us in our own marketing and advertising activities (including providing us with analytic information and search engine optimization services). We disclose information to certain third-party service providers listed here. Our contracts with such third parties prohibit them from using any of your personal information for any purpose beyond the purpose for which it was disclosed.  

If you purchase a product or service from a third party through one of our brands, we will pass your personal information to such third party in order for them to fulfill your order.  

By providing your personal information and other confidential information to artificial intelligence (AI) services which include features provided by third parties you are disclosing your personal information to obtain the AI services.

We offer features that allow you to better target who you contact through our Services. These features allow you to optimize your campaigns, segment your lists, and better customize your offerings to your customers. In order to do this, we partner with third parties who can provide you with information about your contacts. If both you and your contacts are located outside of the United Kingdom and the European Union, this may include demographic information and geographic location. We require that these third parties are contractually or legally permitted to receive this information.  
 
In order to provide you with these features, we may send third parties certain pseudonymized personal data about your contacts. These third parties are prohibited from using this personal data for any purpose beyond that for which it was disclosed.

How long we retain your data?

Any information given by the customer through any transaction will be kept to secure proof on the website’s business owner’s end as well as the customer through a receipt. The longest I will keep a customer’s information would depend on the type of transaction that is processed. I keep a portfolio of receipts from purchases solely for tax collection information (which could be from seven to ten years). Though I may keep receipts, all personal information regarding the customers’ billing address, etc. would be deleted after completing business transactions. Analytics from my website may or may not keep a note about my customer for a year, just to inform the website owner of the progress of her website.

What rights do you have over your data?

 If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
