Thank you for visiting my portfolio at watsonnguyen.com (“Company”, “I”, “me”, or “my”). I am committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy notice or my practices with regards to your personal information, please contact me via LinkedIn or my Facebook page.

When you visit my website watsonnguyen.com (the “Website”), and more generally, use any of my services (the “Services”, which include the Website), I appreciate that you are trusting me with your personal information. I take your privacy very seriously. In this privacy notice, I seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information I collect, how I use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. I hope you take some time to read through it carefully, as it is important. If there are any terms in this privacy notice that you do not agree with, please discontinue use of my Services immediately.

This privacy notice applies to all information collected through my Services (which, as described above, includes my Website), as well as any related services, sales, marketing, or events.

Please read this privacy notice carefully as it will help you understand what I do with the information that I collect.

Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit my Website.

I automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the Website. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about who and when you use my Website and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of my Website, and for my internal analytics and reporting purposes.

Like many businesses, I also collect information through cookies and similar technologies.

The information I collect includes:

• LOG AND USAGE DATA. Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic usage and performance information my servers automatically collect when you access or use my Website and which I record in log files. Depending on how you interact with me, this log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type and settings and information about your activity in the Website (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files viewed, searches and other actions you take such as which features you use), device event information (such as system activity, error reports (sometimes called ‘crash dumps’) and hardware settings).
• 
  DEVICE DATA. I collect device data such as information about your computer, phone, tablet, or another device you use to access the Website. Depending on the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP address (or proxy server), device application identification numbers, location, browser type, hardware model Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, operating system configuration information.
• 
  LOCATION DATA. I collect information data such as information about your device’s location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information I collect depends on the type of settings of the device you use to access the Website. For example, I may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells me your current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing me to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Locations settings on your device. Note, however, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services.

I process your information for purposes based on legitimate business interests, the fulfillment of my contract with you, compliance with my legal obligations, and/or your consent.

I use personal information collected via my Website for a variety of business purposes described below. I process your personal information for these purposes in reliance on my legitimate business interests, in order to enter into or perform a contract with you, with your consent, and/or for compliance with my legal obligations. I indicate the specific processing grounds I rely on next to each purpose listed below.

I use the information I collect or receive:

• TO PROTECT MY SERVICES. I may use your information as part of my efforts to keep my Website safe and secure (for example, for fraud monitoring and prevention).
• TO ENFORCE MY TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND POLICIES FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES, to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, or in connection with my contract.
• TO RESPOND TO LEGAL REQUESTS AND PREVENT HARM. If I receive a subpoena or other legal request, I may need to inspect the data I hold to determine how to respond.
• FOR OTHER BUSINESS PURPOSES. I may use your information for other business purposes, such as data analysis, identifying usage trends, determining the effectiveness of my promotional campaigns, and to evaluate and improve my Website, products, marketing, and your experience. I may use and store this information in aggregated and anonymized form so that it is not associated with individual end-users and does not include personal information. I will not use identifiable personal information without your consent.

I only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

I may process or share your data that I hold based on the following legal basis:

• CONSENT: I may process your data if you have given me specific consent to use your personal information for a specific purpose.
• LEGITIMATE INTERESTS: I may process your data when it is reasonably necessary to achieve my legitimate business interests.
• PERFORMANCE OF A CONTRACT: Where I have entered into a contract with you, I may process your personal information to fulfill the terms of my contract.
• LEGAL OBLIGATIONS: I may disclose your information where I am legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).
• VITAL INTERESTS: I may disclose your information where I believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of my policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which I am involved.

I may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information.

I may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own.

My website is hosted on servers in the United States. If you are accessing my Website from outside, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by me in my facilities and by those third parties with whom I may share your personal information (see Will your information be shared with anyone? section above), in and other countries.

If you are a resident in the European Economic Area, then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. I will however take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.

I keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

I will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require me to keep your personal information for longer than 12 months.

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

I do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

I do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Website, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Website. If I learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, I will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from my records. If you become aware of any data I may have collected from children under age 18, please contact me.

IF YOU ARE RESIDENT IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA and you believe I am unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.

COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of my Website. To opt-out of interest-based advertising by advertisers on my Website, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, I do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that I must follow in the future, I will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
