9. The European Union's Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").
The European Union (“EU”) has adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The GDPR is an expansive data privacy and protection framework of laws designed to protect the personal data of individuals located in the EU. The GDPR applies to an entity that maintains an establishment in the EU if it processes personal data in the context of that EU establishment.
Honey Postpartum does not maintain an establishment in the EU but may conduct real exercise of activity through stable arrangements. Honey Coaching may conduct data processing activities related to the offering of goods or services to data subjects in the EU. Any data processing carried out on the Website is done lawfully under Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation. To any extent that Honey Postpartum is subject to GDPR regulations, it will comply.

Code § 1798.100, the consumer may ask Honey Postpartum to disclose to them what personal information Honey Postpartum has, what we do with the information, to request that we delete your personal information, and to request that we not sell your personal information. A California resident may also request to be notified, before or at the point Honey Postpartum collects the resident’s information, of the types of personal information Honey Postpartum is collecting and what we do with that information. Honey Postpartum does not discriminate against consumers who exercise their rights under the CCPA. To find out more about the CCPA, you may visit oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.
11. "Do Not Track" feature.
For some web browsers, a “Do Not Track” feature is available to signal that you do not want the websites that you visit to track your online activity. How browsers communicate and respond to the Do Not Track feature is not yet uniform. For this reason, like with many other websites, Honey Postpartum’s App & Website does not currently respond to or alter its practices in response to a Do Not Track signal.
By your continued use of our App & Website, you acknowledge and understand that third parties may collect personal information regarding your online activities over time and across different websites when you visit Honey Postpartum’s App or Website, or other websites and services.
