Security Measures

Ledge Media. takes appropriate precautions to protect our site visitors’ information. Our websites use industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal or sensitive information is required. This encryption allows your data to be safely transmitted over the Internet without being intercepted, read, altered or deleted by a malicious third party. The encrypted data goes to a physically secure location where your information is stored on restricted-access computers located at restricted-access sites. No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information transmitted to us, and you transmit such information at your own risk.

Transferring Personal Data From the EU to the US

Ledge Media. has its headquarters in the United States, and information we collect from you will be processed in the United States. The United States has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union. Ledge Media. collects and transfers data to the United States only with your consent, to perform a contract with you, or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest of Ledge Media. in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. Ledge Media. endeavors to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with Ledge Media. and the practices described in this privacy policy.

Do Not Track

Your information will be disposed of in a manner that seeks to prevent loss, theft, misuse or unauthorized access.

For EU Data Subjects

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation and other countries’ privacy laws provide certain rights for data subjects.

Additionally, you have the right to access and rectify your personal data if it is inaccurate. You may, under certain circumstances, also request that we cease using your data for direct marketing purposes, or that we erase your data. You may also have a right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate data protection authority if you have concerns about how we process your personal data. We will, at your request, provide personal data that you have provided to Ledge Media. to you or transmit it directly to another controller if technically feasible.
