I know that you care about how your information is collected, used and shared, and I take your privacy seriously. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to learn more about this site’s privacy practices.
WHAT DOES THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVER?
This Privacy Policy applies to this website. This Privacy Policy does not apply to websites, applications, or other services that provide their own separate privacy statements or policies. My website may contain links to other sites, but I am not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of these other sites.
By visiting or using my website, you expressly consent to the information handling practices described in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy covers what information I gather when you are accessing or using my website, how I use that information, and how I protect it. Your use of the website and information you provide on the website is subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
MINORS’ PRIVACY
This website is not directed at children under the age of 18. Where the site collects information of children under the age of 18 years of age, parents or guardians of these individuals will be required to consent to the collection and use of this information in order for the site to deliver services to the individual. For more information about the confirmation process, or how to access your child’s personal data, please use the contact form. Other than as noted, this site’s use of personal information applies to anyone using this website regardless of age. If you are a parent or guardian of an individual under 18, please be sure to read this Privacy Policy thoroughly.
COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION
This website gathers various types of information from users and visitors to the site, as explained more fully below. Some of this information is provided directly by you, and other information may be gathered by observing how you interact with the website and services. I may use this information to personalize and improve services, to allow users to set up a user account and profile, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, to analyze how users utilize the website, and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Information You Provide
The website receives and stores any information provided directly by you. For example, the site may collect personal information such as name, email address, physical address, birth date, zip code, and details of transactions, when you provide it through the website or when you email support directly.
While you can choose not to provide certain information, please know that you may be unable to take advantage of some of the website’s features and services.
Information Collected Automatically from You
Whenever you interact with this website, it automatically receives and records certain information. This information may include server logs from your browser, including your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring or exit pages, operating system, date or time stamp, “cookie” information, and the page you requested.
Technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags and scripts are used by the website and partners, affiliates, analytics, or service providers. These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering our website, and tracking users’ movements around our Website, and to gather demographic information about the user base as a whole. I may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis. “Cookies” are small text files stored on a user’s computer or mobile device that allow me to recognize your browser or device and tell me how and when pages on this website are visited and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or mobile device to prevent or limit your computer or device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may limit you from taking advantage of some of the website’s features.
Also, if you click on a link to a third-party website, such third-party (for example marketing partners or analytics service providers) may also transmit cookies to you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties. These cookies are used to analyze trends and remarket or retarget advertisements to non-converted visitors. I may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.
When this website collects usage information (such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to the website, the length of stay on the website, the types of pages visited and other general information), I only use this data in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. For example, this aggregate date says how often users use parts of the website, so that I can make the website appealing to as many users as possible. I may also provide this aggregate anonymous information to partners on the site. Partners may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use the website, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal experience.
When you use the website’s services, the site automatically collects information on the type of device you use, operating system version, and the device identifier (or “UDID”).
BLOGS, FORUMS, COMMENTS, AND TESTIMONIALS
This website may offer publicly accessible blogs or community forums, or the opportunity to comment. You should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them. To request removal of your information, please use the contact form. In some cases, I may not be able to remove personal information, in which case I will let you know if I am unable to do so and why.
I may display personal testimonials of satisfied customers on the site, in addition to other endorsements. With your consent, I may post your testimonial along with your name. If you wish to update or delete your testimonial, you can contact me through our contact form.
SOCIAL MEDIA AND WIDGETS
This website may include social media features (such as the Facebook and Twitter buttons), widgets (such as the Share button), and interactive mini-programs that run on the site. These features may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on the website and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on the website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
EMAIL AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS
I may contact you, by email or other means as you have indicated, to send you information about the site, including updates, enhancements, or other related information, or to communicate with you about your use of the website. In addition, where you have agreed, I may send you promotional offers on behalf of other businesses. If you do not want to receive email or other mail from me, please indicate your preference by using our contact form.
WILL YOU SHARE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?
I do not rent, sell, or share your personal information with anyone other than as set forth in this Policy.
I may employ third parties (other companies and people) to perform certain tasks on my behalf. These may include use of a payment processor or hosting provider. This may require that I share your information with them in order to provide products or services you request. Unless I tell you differently, my agents do not have any right to use the personal information I share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
I may access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that I reasonably believe is necessary to comply with applicable law or court order; to enforce my rights or conditions of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of volunteers, my users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
BUSINESS TRANSFERS
I may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Also, if this website (or substantially all of its assets) is acquired, or if I go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, personal information would be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party. You will be notified via email or a prominent notice on the website of any change in ownership or use of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.
IS MY PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE?
I use reasonable precautions to protect personal information in my possession from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For users of this website, communications between the website and a user’s web browser are accomplished using encryption and various third-party security certificates to protect information. While I try to protect your privacy and the personal information I hold, no method of transmission over the Internet can guarantee complete security. As a result, I cannot guarantee its absolute security despite using commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information.
WHAT CHOICES DO I HAVE?
You can always choose not to disclose personal information to me, but keep in mind some information may be needed to take advantage of some of this website’s features.
I may retain and use personal information as necessary to comply with my legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
