We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our website.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with rights regarding how your data or personal information is treated.

USE OF INFORMATION

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations).  Additionally, we use this Order Information to:


1) To communicate with you
The email address you provide for order processing will only be used to send you information and updates pertaining to your order. Unless you decide to opt-in to our promotional newsletter lists. 

2) To process transactions
Your information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering the purchased product or service requested. 

3) To improve your experience

When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, we provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services. This includes serving relevant ads across the web. We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

SECURITY 

Within our website exists a variety of security measures, to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter your personal information. Credit cards are processed securely through Shopify, a leading provider of payment gateway services online, or PayPal, a third party online processing service.  You will have the option to check out through either method. 

We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.

After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be stored on our servers. 

SHARING OF INFORMATION
 

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, 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 site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses. 

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above.  For example, we use Shopify to power our online store--you can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here:  https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.  We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site--you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here:  https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.  You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here:  https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
