2. Changes to Privacy Policy
We may update this Policy at any time by posting the revised version on the Site. Continued use of the Site after changes have been posted will constitute your acceptance of those changes.

3. Information We Collect
We collect two types of information from users:

• Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Information that identifies you as a specific individual, such as your name, email address, and payment information.
• Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII): Information that does not identify you personally, such as cookies, IP addresses, and browsing data.

4. Personally Identifiable Information

To access certain features of the Site, you may need to register and provide PII, including your name, email, and payment details. We store this information securely and may use it to enhance your experience on the Site. PII may be supplemented with additional data obtained from third parties, which will be treated with the same care and privacy as the information you provide directly.

5. Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We use technologies like cookies to collect Non-PII, which helps us understand how users navigate the Site. This information is used to improve the Site’s functionality and user experience. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features on the Site.

6. Use of Collected Information
We use the information collected from you for various purposes, including:

• Providing and improving our services
• Processing transactions
• Communicating with you about updates, promotions, and surveys
• Conducting research and analysis to enhance user experience

7. Sharing Information
We may share your information in the following ways:
With Partners: We may share PII and Non-PII with partners who offer services or promotions on our Site.
With Third-Party Vendors: We employ vendors to help us manage and maintain the Site. These vendors have limited access to your information and are only allowed to use it for the purposes we specify.

8. Photography, Videography, and Social Media Marketing
By participating in events, workshops, or activities associated with SEW FYI, you consent to being photographed or recorded on video. These images and videos may be used for social media marketing purposes, including posts on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and our official website. If you do not wish for your image or video to be used in this manner, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us at support@sewfyi.com. We will make every effort to honor your request promptly.

9. Legal Compliance
We may disclose your PII if required by law or in response to legal processes such as subpoenas. We may also share information if we believe it’s necessary to protect our rights, the safety of our users, or to prevent illegal activities.

10. Aggregated Data
We may aggregate and anonymize PII to produce statistical data, which we may share with third parties. This data will not identify you personally.

11. Change of Control
If SEW FYI undergoes a business transaction such as a merger or acquisition, your PII may be transferred as part of that transaction. The new entity will assume the rights and obligations outlined in this Policy.

12. Security Measures
We take security seriously and implement various measures to protect your information, including encryption and physical security. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is entirely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. We advise you to choose a strong password and keep it confidential.

13. Your Choices and Rights
You can review and update your PII by contacting us at support@sewfyi.com. You may also opt out of receiving promotional emails by following the instructions in those emails. Note that certain administrative emails may still be sent even if you opt-out of promotional communications.
