This policy applies to information we collect from you through our website, together with any other website, social media page, or app, or through any other medium offered by us (all of which are included in the term, “the Site”). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by us.

Any of the personal information we collect from you will be used only as reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the purposes for which the information was collected, including in the following ways:

  • To set up an account for you on our Site

We will retain your information for as long as necessary to complete any business with you, including the completion of a transaction and any follow-up matters for which your records may be relevant. Thereafter, we will retain your personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations.


3. PROTECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information.

We offer the use of a secure server. All payment information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider’s database, to be accessible only by authorized persons who are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your financial information (credit cards, social security numbers, bank information, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.

We strive to maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information collected by us. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not 100 percent secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its security; any transmission is at your own risk.

If you use a computer or device that can be accessed by others, other people may be able to access unencrypted personal information. If you do not want your information to be available to others, exercise caution when using public computers or devices or when using any computer or device to which others may have access.

We recommend that you take every precaution in protecting your personal information when you are on the Internet. For example, change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers when creating passwords, and make sure you use a secure browser. You should also be aware that names that you give your Wi-Fi-enabled devices, home networks and services (also known as "friendly names") may be detectable by others outside your home, so you should not use personal information as part of your friendly names.

4. USE OF COOKIES

Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the Site or service provider systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

We use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart, understand and save your preferences for future visits, keep track of advertisements, and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction, so we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser or mobile device. However, some features of our Site may not work as intended if you disable cookies, and areas that require registration or authentication may not be accessible.

We do not currently respond to web browser "Do Not Track" signals or other mechanisms that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information across the networks of website and online services in which we participate. If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in this Privacy Policy.

5. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO OUTSIDE PARTIES

We do not sell your personally identifiable information, and we do not disclose it to third parties, except as necessary to complete any transactions with you, respond to any requests from you, or provide our website and services to you. For example, we may disclose your information to trusted third parties who assist us in operating our Site, processing payments from you, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our policies, or protect our rights or others’ rights, property, or safety. In addition, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Our website may contain links to website or online services operated by third parties. Our website also may use or offer products and services from third parties. Once you leave our Site, your activities are governed by the terms of use and privacy policies of those third party website and online services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these website and online services, and we encourage you to carefully read the terms of use and privacy policies of any website and online service you visit.
