Use of Cookies

We use “cookies” to collect information about you and your activity across our sites. A cookie is a small piece of data that our website stores on your computer, and accesses each time you visit, so we can understand how you use our site.

Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature to signal your privacy preference about your online browsing activities. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or other mechanisms that automatically communicates your online choice. If a standard for online tracking is adopted in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

Changes to This Policy

At our discretion, we may change our privacy policy at any time. Your continued use of any Starnik product or service after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this Privacy Statement periodically for updates.  If we make a material change in the way we use or share your personal information, we will provide notice that our policy has changed on our website. This policy was last updated December 2021.

General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)

A company is a Data Controller when it has the responsibility of determining why and how personal information is processed, whereas a company is a Data Processor when it processes personal information on behalf of a Data Controller. Some countries, including countries in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), impose certain responsibilities on Data Controllers and Data Processors. Starnik is a Data Processor (and NOT a Data Controller) under GDPR with respect to Your personal data.

Starnik’s clients are Data Controllers. They make all decisions about how and why personal data is to be processed, including any disclosure or transmission to third parties. If you wish to exercise any rights you have to access, correct, amend or delete personal information or data pertaining to you that has been submitted or entered into a Starnik Service by or on behalf of a client (including collected by a Starnik Service), please inquire with the client directly. If an authorized client has no ability to update or remove the data in question via the use of our Services, we will acknowledge their request within 30 days.

California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)

Starnik may receive personal information of California residents via their clients. Please note that most of the personal information Starnik collects and maintains is as a service provider on behalf of Starnik’s clients.  As a result, Starnik’s clients’ privacy policies, not this Privacy Statement, cover that information.  You may have certain rights with respect to personal information, as set forth in Cal. Civ. Code 1798.100 et seq.  If you make a request to us with respect to such data, we may be required to refer you to the client, whose behalf we may maintain the information. This Privacy Statement addresses such information consistent with the provisions of the law.
