Non-Personal Information. When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.

We may use the collected PII for various purposes, including to: (i) process your order(s); (ii) administer your account; (iii) with your permission, provide email marketing about our store, new products and other updates; (iv) improve the operation of the site, and administer or diagnose problems with our site; (v) respond to your requests, inquiries and comments; (vi) to otherwise contact you about your use of the site; (vii) monitor and analyze trends, usage and activities in connection with our site; (viii) maintain our internal record keeping; (ix) analyze user behavior as a measure of interest in, and use of, our site and e-mails, both on an individual basis and in the aggregate; (x) match information collected from you through different means or at different times, including both PII and non-personal information, and use such information along with information obtained from other sources, including third parties; and (xi) implement any other purpose for which the information was collected.

SECTION 4 - WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE COLLECTED INFORMATION

Hosting Service Provider. Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall. Shopify has its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of Shopify and encourage you to read their privacy policy.

Other Service Providers. We may also use other third-party partners to help operate or promote our site and deliver our products and services, and may share your information with our affiliates, service providers and other third parties that provide products or services for or through the site or for our business (such as vendors, consultants, volunteers and other similar service providers that use such information on our behalf). In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

Payment Processing. If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. Your credit card data is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

Legally Compelled Disclosures. We may disclose your PII if we are required by law to do so.

Business Transfers. If our store is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that they may continue to sell products to you.

Advertisers. We may use third-party platforms such as Google to serve advertisements on our behalf. These companies may use cookies or other technologies to tailor advertisements you see on the website and third-party websites, to track your response to advertisements, report on visitor interaction and to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. See Section 7 below for a description of “cookies.” We may provide certain of these third-party advertising companies with some PII to help them serve more relevant advertisements for our products, however, the cookies do not contain any PII. These companies may combine information they learn about your visit to our website with data about your web activities at third-party websites or with demographic information to identify your likely interests so that they can provide you with more useful and relevant advertisements when you visit websites within their networks.

The information practices of third-party advertising companies are governed by their own privacy policies and are not covered by this privacy policy. Some of these advertising companies may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI"), a cooperative of online marketing companies that offers a centralized tool for opting out of behavioral advertising delivered by each of its member companies. If you would like to obtain more information about the NAI and make choices about their members’ use of your information, please visit the NAI website at http://www.networkadvertising.org/consumer/opt_out.asp. Also, through the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA"), several media and marketing associations have developed an industry self-regulatory program to give consumers a better understanding of and greater control over ads that are customized based on their online behavior across different websites. To make choices about interest-based ads from third parties participating in the DAA, please visit the DAA consumer opt out page at http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Our site provides links to other websites whose privacy practices may differ from ours. When you click on links on our store, they may direct you away from our site. If you submit personal information to any of these third-party sites, your information is governed by the privacy policies of those sites and no longer governed by this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

SECTION 6 - SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions to safeguard your data. However, because no security system is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of your data on our servers. In addition, because internet communication is unsecure, we cannot warrant the security of your information or guarantee that the information you transmit to our site may not be intercepted, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
