Email Consent & Unsubscribe Policy — New York Is My Happy Place
Effective Date: February 2026
Last Updated: February 2026
At New York Is My Happy Place (“we,” “us,” “our”), we’re committed to respecting your privacy and preferences when it comes to email communications. This Email Consent & Unsubscribe Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect consent for email messages, what kinds of messages we send, your legal rights, and how you can unsubscribe or withdraw consent at any time.
This Policy applies to all email communications sent by us from nyismyhappyplace.com (the “Site”), including newsletters, marketing emails, transactional emails, promotional messages, announcements, and automated notifications.
By subscribing to our email list or otherwise providing your email address, you agree to this Policy and to receive emails as described below, unless and until you withdraw your consent.
1. Consent to Receive Emails
1.1 Voluntary Subscription
You provide consent to receive email communications from us when you:
Sign up through a subscription form on our Site
Enter your email address at checkout
Opt in through an embedded form (e.g., popup, widget, landing page)
Affirmatively agree to receive communications during promotional campaigns
Explicit, affirmative action (e.g., clicking “Subscribe”) is required to join our mailing list — we do not automatically enroll visitors.
1.2 Implied Consent
In some jurisdictions, consent may be considered implied if you:
Have an existing business relationship with us (e.g., recent purchase)
Provide your email while engaging with a specific feature or content
Where permitted by law, we may send limited service‑related messages without separate consent (e.g., order confirmations or customer support emails). However, marketing/promotional emails always require explicit consent.
2. Types of Emails You May Receive
Depending on your preferences, you may receive:
2.1 Marketing & Promotional Emails
Newsletters
Product recommendations
Exclusive offers or discounts
Announcements about new content or merchandise
2.2 Transactional or Service Messages
Order confirmations
Shipping updates
Account notifications
These are not promotional in nature and may be sent even if you haven’t subscribed to marketing emails.
2.3 Behavioral or Automated Messages
Personalized or automated communications based on user behavior and preferences (e.g., abandoned cart notifications) — only sent where legally permitted and with consent where required.
3. What Information We Collect for Email Communications
We may collect and process:
Your email address
Name (if provided)
Preferences you indicate (e.g., newsletter frequency)
Engagement data (e.g., opens, clicks, unsubscribes, time of interaction)
This information helps us tailor communications and measure effectiveness. Information is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
4. How We Use Your Email Information
We use your email address and related data to:
Deliver messages you’ve agreed to receive
Personalize content and offers
Analyze engagement trends and improve communications
Comply with legal requirements (e.g., opt‑out management)
We do not sell your email address to third parties.
5. Legal Compliance
We comply with all applicable email marketing and privacy laws, including (but not limited to):
5.1 CAN‑SPAM Act (U.S.)
We provide clear identification of the sender
We do not use deceptive subject lines
We include a valid physical mailing address
We honor unsubscribe requests promptly
5.2 GDPR (EU)
For residents of the European Union or countries with GDPR‑equivalent protections:
Consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous
You have the right to access, rectify, delete, or restrict the processing of your data
You may withdraw consent at any time without penalty
5.3 CPRA / CCPA (California)
California residents have rights regarding access, deletion, and opt‑out of data sharing or “sale” (which we do not engage in), in accordance with applicable law.
5.4 CASL (Canada)
For Canadian residents, express consent is required before sending commercial electronic messages, and unsubscribe mechanisms are included in every message.
6. How to Unsubscribe or Withdraw Consent
You may withdraw your consent at any time using any of the following methods:
6.1 Unsubscribe Link
Every marketing email we send includes a clear “Unsubscribe” link. Clicking this link will remove you from our marketing list.
6.2 Website Unsubscribe Page
You may visit our dedicated unsubscribe page [insert link] and enter your email address to manage preferences or unsubscribe.
6.3 Email Request
You may email us at hello@nyismyhappyplace.com with the subject line “Unsubscribe”. Please include the email address you wish to remove.
6.4 Account Settings
If you have an account on our Site, you may adjust your communication preferences in your account settings.
6.4.1 Processing Time
We will honor unsubscribe requests promptly — typically within 3 business days — and in any event within the timeframe required by applicable law.
7. Effect of Unsubscribing
If you unsubscribe from marketing emails:
You will no longer receive promotional or newsletter messages
You may still receive transactional/service messages (e.g., order confirmations)
Unsubscribing does not delete your personal information; it only changes your communication preferences. You may request deletion of your personal data separately via our Privacy Policy.
8. Data Security and Retention
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your email data. However, no system can guarantee absolute security; we are not responsible for breaches beyond our control.
We retain email data only as long as necessary for legitimate business purposes, legal compliance, or until you request deletion under applicable laws.
9. International Transfers
Personal information used for email communications may be processed or stored outside your home jurisdiction (e.g., the U.S.). In such cases, we rely on appropriate safeguards to protect your data in accordance with law.
10. Children’s Consent
Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect email addresses or personal information from minors without parental consent. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal data, we will delete it promptly.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or business practices. The Effective Date at the top reflects the most recent version. Continued receipt of email communications after updates constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
