Legal Disclaimer
Venice Web Design is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of regulatory bodies, including compliance with applicable laws and regulations in Maryland, USA. Under specific conditions, there may be provisions for invoking binding arbitration.
We may be required to disclose your personal information as mandated by law, such as complying with a subpoena or similar legal processes. This disclosure may occur when we believe, in good faith, that it is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, investigate fraudulent activities, or respond to governmental requests. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website about any changes in ownership or the use of your personal information. Additionally, you will be provided with choices regarding your personal information, wherever applicable.
Regarding the onward transfer of personal information, Venice Web Design acknowledges responsibility for the processing of personal information received under applicable regulations and subsequently transferred to a third party acting as an agent on our behalf. We maintain liability under relevant principles if our agent processes such personal information in a manner inconsistent with these principles, unless we can demonstrate that we are not responsible for the event resulting in any damages.
Venice Web Design typically does not engage in widespread personal information transfers to third parties beyond limited uses of a comments manager and chat service. Therefore, the provision regarding liability for the actions of agent processors is not broadly applicable.
Protecting Your Personal Information
At Venice Web Design, safeguarding your information is paramount. To ensure the security of your data, we employ industry-standard measures. This includes using encryption technologies during data transmission and maintaining secure storage practices on restricted-access servers. Access to your personal information is limited to authorized individuals solely for necessary purposes. We regularly monitor our systems, applying updates as needed to uphold stringent security standards. When engaging third-party services, we carefully assess and ensure their adherence to our security protocols. While we implement robust measures, we encourage users to take proactive steps such as using strong passwords and refraining from sharing sensitive information via unsecured channels. In the unlikely event of a security breach, we have established response protocols to swiftly address and mitigate any potential impact on your data.
We also comply with the Maryland Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), which requires businesses to implement reasonable security measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. If you experience a security breach that compromises the security, confidentiality, or integrity of personal information, we will notify you in accordance with PIPA.
