  • understand Website traffic;

  • measure Website performance;

  • identify technical issues; and

  • improve Website usability.

You may generally control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect Website functionality.

If additional analytics, advertising pixels, or marketing technologies are added to the Website in the future, this Privacy Policy should be updated to accurately reflect those practices.

Providing contact information in connection with a professional inquiry does not automatically authorize unrelated marketing communications where separate consent is required by law.

The Website includes information concerning Whit Raymond’s professional event schedule and may link to event pages, Google Calendar functionality, organizers, registration pages, or other third-party resources.

When you interact with a third-party calendar, event, registration, or scheduling service, that provider may independently collect information about you.

Whit Raymond does not control the privacy practices of third-party event or scheduling platforms.

8. Third-Party Media and Platforms

The Website may contain embedded or linked content from third-party platforms, including video, social-media, event, broadcast, mapping, or other media services.

  • IP address;

  • device and browser information;

  • account information if you are logged in;

  • viewing activity;

  • referring pages; and

  • other interaction information.

Those providers process information according to their own privacy policies and account settings.

Whit Raymond does not control information independently collected by third parties.

The Website is not currently described as using personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If advertising pixels, behavioral advertising tools, or similar technologies are added in the future, this Privacy Policy and any legally required privacy controls should be updated accordingly.

12. California Privacy Rights

Whit Raymond is based in California.

California law may provide residents with privacy rights depending on the nature of the information, the organization processing it, and whether applicable statutory requirements and thresholds are met.

Where applicable, these rights may include the right to:

  • request information about certain personal information collected;

  • request access to certain personal information;

  • request correction of inaccurate information;

  • request deletion of certain information;

  • request information concerning certain disclosures;

  • opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information where applicable; and

  • exercise applicable privacy rights without unlawful discrimination.

These rights are subject to applicable thresholds, verification requirements, limitations, and statutory exceptions.

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), does not apply to every California business. Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to state that Whit Raymond is a covered business under the CCPA unless the applicable statutory requirements are met.

Privacy-related requests may be submitted using the contact information below.

13. California “Shine the Light”

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 may provide certain California residents with rights concerning disclosure of personal information to third parties for their own direct-marketing purposes.

Based on the practices described in this Privacy Policy, Whit Raymond does not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct-marketing purposes in exchange for compensation.

14. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Retention periods may reflect needs relating to:

  • professional inquiries;

  • scheduling and event coordination;

  • client and business relationships;

  • contracts and project records;

  • accounting and tax requirements;

  • communication history;

  • security;

  • dispute resolution;

  • legal compliance; and

  • establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims.

Retention periods vary based on the type of information and applicable requirements.

15. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical practices designed to protect information under our control.

However, no website, email account, telephone network, electronic transmission, cloud system, or information-storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Third-party service providers are responsible for the security practices applicable to information they independently process.

16. Children’s Privacy

The Website is intended primarily as a professional portfolio and informational Website for a general audience.

It is not directed to children under 13, and Whit Raymond does not knowingly use the Website to collect personal information directly from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information through the Website, please contact Whit Raymond so the matter can be reviewed.

17. Third-Party Websites

The Website may link to:

  • event websites;

  • race organizers;

  • broadcasters;

  • social-media services;

  • media platforms;

  • Google Calendar;

  • sponsors;

  • production companies; and

  • other third-party resources.

Third parties operate independently and maintain their own privacy and security practices.

Whit Raymond does not control and is not responsible for how those third parties collect, use, retain, or disclose information.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information.

18. International Visitors

Whit Raymond works internationally, and the Website may be accessed from locations outside the United States.

The Website is operated from the United States. If you access the Website from another country, information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where service providers operate.

Privacy laws in those jurisdictions may differ from the laws where you live.

19. Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or other privacy preference mechanisms.

Because there is not a uniform technical or legal standard applicable to every type of browser signal, the Website may not respond to all such signals.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid opt-out preference signal, Whit Raymond will endeavor to comply with that requirement.

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the Website, professional practices, technology, service providers, or applicable legal requirements.

The “Last Updated” date above identifies the most recent revision.
