Your Data
We may collect, use, store and transfer the following information to provide, improve and protect our website and our services. You may give us personal information by visiting or interacting with the website, filling in forms on the website, interacting with our services, or by corresponding with us by phone, e-mail, or otherwise. This personal information includes the following data which are referred to in this Privacy Policy as ‘your data’, ‘your personal data’ or ‘your personal information’:
The personal information collected from this website may be used for a variety of purposes including identification, registration, authentication, online transactions, and marketing. The personal data of customers and website visitors may be stored indefinitely and may be collected and processed in one or more data bases maintained directly or indirectly by the website owner, operator, or their agents. By providing personal information to the website owner, operator, or their agents, you agree and understand that the website owner, operator, or their agents may access, store, and use this information for a variety of purposes including identification, registration, authentication, online transactions, and marketing (unless you have opted out of receiving marketing solicitations) in any of the countries in which the website owner, operator, or their agents maintain offices, including the United States.
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances: where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you; where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; or where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
Cookies – What They Are and Why They Are Used
Like many companies that provide websites, the website owner, operator, or their agents may use “cookies” in order to better understand and serve the needs of our on-line visitors. A cookie is a small text file that a web page server places on your hard drive. Cookies function as your identification card and may record passwords, preferences, and purchases. Cookies are used to let the web page server know that you have returned to this site. This helps us to be more efficient in serving you because it permits us to determine what information and web pages you may be especially interested in viewing. Cookies also can be used to determine other information, such as the daily visitors to our web site and the pages of the site most frequently visited. Cookies are unique and can only be read by the server that assigns them. They cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. If you do not wish to have a cookie set when you visit our web pages, you may alter the settings in your browser to prevent them. The browser can be “instructed” to accept all cookies or to alert you every time a cookie is offered. However, by not accepting cookies, some web pages may not display properly or you may not be permitted to access certain information.
Personal Information Related to Children
The website owner, operator, or their agents does not intend to collect personal information from children who identify themselves as being under 18 years of age. Children should not provide personal information on this website, and should ask their parents to submit a request on their behalf if they want to receive information related to this site. The website owner, operator, or their agents encourages parents to take an active interest in their children’s use of the Internet. The website owner, operator, or their agents respects and protects your personal information and will take reasonable measures to protect the information you share with us.
Your Rights and “Opting Out”
As required by the California Online Privacy Protection Act (“California Act”) and the California Business and Professions Code, this Privacy Policy identifies the categories of personally identifiable information (as that term is defined above and in the California Act) that we collect through our website about individual consumers who use or visit our website and the categories of third-party persons or entities with whom such personally identifiable information may be shared. See more about the California Act at http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), you have the right to request, twice a year and free of charge, certain information about parties to whom we have disclosed or sold your personal information in the prior calendar year and a description of the categories of personal information shared. Additionally, upon request, twice a year and free of charge, we shall provide to you any information relating to your personal information and our processing of your personal information in a concise, transparent, intelligible, and easily accessible form using clear and plain language. To make such a request, please contact us and please include the phrase “Personal Information Privacy Request” in the subject line, the domain name of the website you are inquiring about, along with your name, address and email address. You can also ask us to delete your personal data stored on our platform. If we receive a request to delete your data, we will ask you if you want your personal information to be removed entirely or if you want to be kept on a list of individuals who do not want to be contacted in the future (for a specified period or otherwise). We cannot keep a record of individuals whose personal information we have deleted so you may be contacted again by us, should we come into possession of your personal information at a later date. If you exercise your rights under the CCPA, we will not discriminate against you. You may use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. Requests to know and requests to delete will be honored within 45 days; if more time is needed to respond, we will notify you.
