10. Widgets and Social Media Features

Our website may include widgets and social media features, such as the Twitter “tweet” button. These features may collect your IP address and may set cookies to enable their proper functionality. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policies of the respective companies providing them, not by Lush Party Inc.’s Privacy Policy. We have processor agreements in place with every third party that deals with your data to ensure the protection of your information.

11. Employee Access

Certain operations of Lush Party Inc. require our employees to access systems that store and process user data. This access is primarily for problem diagnostics or troubleshooting purposes. For example, if a user encounters issues with our services, our employees may need access to their user data. All employees and affiliated subcontractors are strictly prohibited from viewing user data for any reasons unless it is absolutely necessary to do so.

12. Data Deletion

If a user wishes to delete their data, they must delete their account. When an account is deleted or if a user decides to no longer participate in our services, data deletion will be handled as follows:

• Majority data deletion will occur upon user consent.
• Complete data deletion will occur after 90 days. Please refer to the “Data Retention” section below for more details regarding the 90-day data retention period.

Users can request the deletion of their personal data at any time. If such a request is made, the account will be deactivated, and data will be retained in backups and life-cycle management to ensure that data is not stored for more than 90 days. Users may request data deletion by emailing helpdesk@lushparty.com, canceling their user account, or filling out the GDPR User Rights form on the site. If a user fails to make payment for any premium plans, Lush Party Inc. will remove all paid features and return users to the Free/Trial Plan. Please see section 7.5 of our Terms of Service for user inactivity under the Free Plan. If Lush Party Inc. deletes an account due to inactivity, the same scenarios will apply.

13. Data Retention

Information Storage and Security

Lush Party Inc. uses data hosting service providers in the United States to host collected information, and we employ technical measures to secure all data. Despite the comprehensive security measures and safeguards in place, no security system is completely immune to intrusion due to the inherent nature of the internet. In the event of such a situation, Lush Party Inc. has policies in place to respond promptly. For more information, please contact helpdesk@lushparty.com.

How Long We Keep Information

The duration for which we retain the information we collect about you depends on the type of information, as detailed below. After this period, we will make every effort to delete your information, or if this is not feasible (for example, due to data stored in backup archives), we will securely store your information and isolate it from further use until deletion is possible.

• User Account Information: We retain user information until the user deletes their account(s), after which we continue retaining the data for up to 90 days following account deletion. This includes email, admin notes, IPs, access history, payment history, and nickname. Lush Party Inc. maintains this practice for the following reasons:
  • In case a user’s account has been compromised and intentionally deleted, Lush Party Inc. will help maintain and restore data once the situation is resolved.
  • In the event that an account was mistakenly deleted by the user, Lush Party Inc. can restore the data.
  • Various data storage systems and backups have different lifecycle policies, typically held for a maximum of 90 days.
• The Information You Share on the Services: If a user’s account is deactivated or disabled, some user information and content provided by the user will remain to allow other members or users to make full use of the services. For example, comments and content provided by the user in forums will continue to be displayed. Lush Party Inc. will retain user data for up to 90 days after account cancellation in case users decide to renew within that time frame.
• Marketing and Promotional Information: If users have elected and provided consent to receive marketing and promotional emails from Lush Party Inc., we retain information about their marketing preferences unless specifically asked to delete such information. Lush Party Inc. retains information derived from cookies and other tracking technologies for a reasonable and specific period from the date such information was created.

14. Security

At Lush Party Inc., we take the security of your data very seriously. Our security practices are transparently detailed in this Privacy Policy to ensure you have a clear understanding of how we handle security.

15. Age Limitation

Lush Party Inc. does not permit the use of our services or websites by anyone under the legal age in their respective state and country. We make every effort to prohibit the use of our site by anyone not meeting the legal age requirement. Should we become aware that anyone under the local legal age has unlawfully provided us with personal data, we will take the necessary steps to delete such information. Lush Party Inc. strictly provides services intended for adults, and all minors are prohibited from using any and all services provided.
