Who are we?
Earthuni (earthuni.com) is a blog and podcast written and run by Jena Griffiths (“Earthuni”, “we”, “our”, “us”). The website includes both the publicly accessible and login protected pages. The focus is on grounding, embodiment, living in a world of mirrors/multiverse and related topics. To this end, Jena interviews people out of sheer curiosity; people who might have something interesting or useful to say to the rest of us. The fact that Jena interviews someone does not mean that she necessarily agrees with their opinions. We also provide classes stored within login protected pages.

Your Rights
Under data protection legislation, individuals who live in specific areas have certain rights related to the processing of personal data. Members may exercise these rights individually. These rights include:
● Right to be informed – be informed of how we are processing your Personal Data – this Privacy Notice serves to explain this to you but do contact us if you have any questions (see Point of Contact details below).
Right of access – right to request access to information about you that we hold.
● Right to rectification – have your data corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete
● Right to erasure – also known as ‘right to be forgotten’ allows you to be able to request the erasure of personal data in some circumstances such as where it is no longer needed by us for the purpose for which it was collected or you have withdrawn your consent.
● Right to restrict processing – the right to request the restriction or suppression of your personal data in certain circumstances for example, where you have told us the data is inaccurate and we are in the process of checking this. In such circumstances we will continue to store your data but will not process it further until we have checked and confirmed whether the data is inaccurate. Not, like the right to erasure, the right to restrict processing is not an absolute right.
● Right to data portability – allows you to receive personal data that you have provided us in a structured, commonly used machine readable format. It also allows you the right to request us to transmit this data to another controller.
● Right to object – allows you, in certain circumstances, to object to the processing of your personal data. For example, you may object to processing of your data for direct marketing or to object to automated individual decision-making (making a decision solely by automated means without any human involvement) or profiling (automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain things about an individual). Another example would be to object to processing of Personal Data that is likely to cause, or is causing, damage or distress.
● Right to withdraw consent – in those instances in which the processing of your personal data is based on consent, you have the right (subject to age provisions) to withdraw that consent. Please note that the processing will end from the moment the withdrawal takes place without any effect on the processing that took place prior such withdrawal.
● Right to complain – If you wish to raise a complaint or require further information on how we have handled your personal data, the first point of contact related to the processing of your personal data or in exercising any of the rights identified above should be us. You can contact us at support @ earthuni.com
