Our website platform partners are SQUARESPACE, PAYPAL & STRIPE that processes the DATA.

Our shipping data partners processors are Stamps.com, Shipstation.com & USPS.com.

We are NOT DATA Processors. All of the companies listed are based in the USA.

We do not know how to use cookies or those fancy tech stuff which are meaningless to us.

Request for  Information held or Delete Data Request  : write to  Tune2Magic@gmail.com

 Our LIMITATIONS :

To ensure no inconsistent or additional terms are imposed on us beyond that reflected in our standard Data Notice/Policy and model clauses, we cannot agree to sign  UK customers’ DPAs.

We Cannot Promise to be able to change swiftly to any more  of the Europe GDPR's "enhancements".

As a small team we also can’t make individual changes to our Data Notice/Policy since we don't have a full time legal or IT  team on staff - We are a very very  small company. 

We do not have the ability to know if these processors have viruses etc .

So any Breach -we may not really know...unless our partners tell us or our website crashes.

But if we do know we will inform you of DATA BREACH within 72 hours.

Any changes to the standard Data Policy /GDPR would require legal counsel and a lot of back and forth discussion that would be cost prohibitive for a small team - having consultant lawyers &  Informational technology consultants can bankrupt us.

Removal of DATA will affect analytics &  Tax audit purposes.

When we receive AND EXECUTE your data request removal  from our side, we will  also inform promptly  our partners of your data to be removed.  This may take 30 days.

They may charge us a fee-refer to bottom..

How efficiently the data is being removed by partners, etc truly no-one knows....as this is a "rolling stone"  which is dependent on at least 5 BIG  corporate systems working in tandem. Hopefully  the moss of information will roll away to Nothingness?

Adhering to  the GDPR policy 100%  will be  a long term future costly problem especially for  small businesses.

DPA=DATA Processing Addendum applicable only for UK clients.

GDPR = General Data Protection Regulation for citizens of the European Union. 2018 May25

COPPA = Children Online Privacy Protection Rule for USA.(rules if children under `13 MUST have parents' permission.-irony who knows who is behind the virtual screen?)

** https://www.atg-it.co.uk/gdpr/dpa-vs-gdpr/ A DPO or Data Controller is compulsory only for companies with above  250 employees & above 5000 subject profiles in a year. We are too small to afford nor have consultant . So we just have the Privacy Officer -who wears multiple hats.

https://www.squarespace.com/dpa >>see 5.8 , 5.10 We MAY have to incur COSTS so you the customer need to share that costs charged by SQUARESPACE.

PAYPAL shares your data with over 600+ companies. We have no control over them.

As SHIN LIM is a celebrity and this is a small family business, we cannot publicize any physical addresses nor telephone numbers. The Only way is through the contact form or email to Tune2Magic@gmail.com.
