During your visit and use of our Website and services, we collect certain data that you provide to us when you fill out opt-in forms, contact forms, and surveys, when you purchase products and/or services, and when you enter your information for giveaways and/or competitions.
The personal information that you provide to us can be your name, email address, phone number, address, occupation, and more. Moreover, if you are purchasing products, then you are also providing us with payment and address information. (However, your payment information is not stored in our system because purchases are processed through payment processors.)

If you are in the EU and opt-in to receive a free offer or participate in free training or purchase a product or service, your email address will not be added to the email list to receive our newsletter and updates unless you affirmatively consent to it.

Visitors’ Rights Under GDPR
As someone who resides in the European Union, you are entitled to exercise certain rights that you are given under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Any information or data that you chose to provide us will be kept with us until one of these happens: (1) you ask us to DELETE the information and/or data; (2) we decide to STOP USING the existing data processors, or (3) we decide that the cost of retaining the data outweighs the value in retaining it.
As a consumer and/or visitor on our Site who is located in the European Union region, you have the right to request access to your data that we collected on you and store it.
You are within your rights to demand to know exactly what data and information Mom’s Plan-it Vacation Blog collected on you. Keep in mind that some parts of this data were provided by you personally, while others were gathered through cookies and pixels.
You have the right to withdraw consent on a data that you previously gave us consent to collect and process. The right to withdraw consent applies to any future processing of that data.

You also have the right to request the erasure of your data and all your information from our data storage. Once you request that your data be erased from Mom’s Plan-it Vacation Blog’s databases, we have thirty (30) days to comply with your request. If it’s impossible to comply within 30 days, then we will respond to the Visitor’s request and let them know about the issue and also give them a reasonable time as to when their request for deletion will be honored.
Aside from rights such as request to access, request to delete and rectify, an EU user also has the right to place restrictions on the data processing itself. This means a user can limit certain things that Mom’s Plan-it Vacation Blog can and cannot do with their data. You can choose to limit transfer of your data to third-party businesses (unless it’s essential for our basic functions).
You further have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority who oversees and handles issues related to the GDPR.
Lastly, it’s Mom’s Plan-it Vacation Blog’s duty to inform you that we only require information that is reasonably necessary to enter into a contract with you.

4. WILL WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH ANYONE?
We respect your privacy and the value of your information. We do not share, disclose, sell, lease or rent your information to anyone or any third party without your express consent unless the limited sharing is essential for carrying out basic and fundamental business functions.
Only under limited circumstances will necessary information be shared with third parties. Here are the situations in which we will share your information:
1. You gave us express consent to do so;
2. You entered into a contract for recurring payments—for this reason, your information will be processed on an as-needed basis to uphold the agreement;
3. Performance of a contract—if you are obligated to pay or perform an action, and you fail, we reserve the right to share necessary information with a third-party company, such as a collection agency or an attorney; and
4. Mandated by law—if legal proceedings are initiated, and there is a subpoena (unlikely, but better to be prepared than surprised).
