5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The WS9 Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to collect and store certain information. These tools help WS9 to:

• Provide Website functionality.

• Analyze Website usage and improve user experience.

• Personalize content and advertisements (if applicable).

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our Website. 

“Do Not Track” Signals: Some web browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals to websites with which the user communicates. There is currently no universally accepted standard on how companies should respond to DNT signals. Therefore, WS9 does not currently take action in response to DNT signals.

6. Data Security

WS9 Internet Agency LLC implements reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Use of SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission.

• Regular software updates and security patching.

• Restricted access to Personal Information to authorized personnel only.

• Data incident response procedures.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While WS9 strives to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. Data Retention

WS9 Internet Agency LLC retains Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (e.g., for tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When WS9 has no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then WS9 will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

8. Your Privacy Rights (Including Rights under CCPA/CPRA and Other US Laws)

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your Personal Information. These rights may include:

• Right to Know/Access: The right to request information about the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information WS9 has collected about you, the categories of sources from which the Personal Information was collected, the business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing Personal Information, and the categories of third parties to whom WS9 discloses Personal Information.

• Right to Delete: The right to request the deletion of your Personal Information collected by WS9, subject to certain exceptions.

• Right to Correct: The right to request the correction of inaccurate Personal Information that WS9 maintains about you.

• Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: You have the right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information, as defined by applicable law (e.g., CCPA/CPRA). “Sharing” often refers to sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. WS9 does not sell Personal Information in the traditional sense (exchange for monetary consideration). However, if our use of advertising or analytics cookies constitutes a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable law, you may exercise your opt-out right.

• Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: If WS9 collects Sensitive Personal Information (as defined by applicable law), you have the right to direct WS9 to limit its use and disclosure to that which is necessary to perform the services or as otherwise permitted by law.

• Right to Data Portability: The right to receive the Personal Information you have provided to WS9 in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to another controller, where technically feasible.

• Right to Non-Discrimination: WS9 will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. This means WS9 will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices or rates, or provide you with a different level or quality of goods or services.

How to Exercise Your Rights:
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact WS9 using the details provided in the “Contact Us” section below. WS9 may need to verify your identity before processing your request. WS9 will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law.

You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. If you use an authorized agent, WS9 will require proof that you have provided the agent with written permission to submit the request and may also need to verify your identity directly with you.
