If you submit any Personal Information relating to another person or people to us or to our service providers in connection with the Sites, you represent that you have the authority to do so, have provided a copy of this Privacy Policy to the relevant individual, and that they permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

You are not obliged to provide us with any Personal Information. If you fail to provide us with the Personal Information that we request or need, however, we may be unable to enter into an agreement with you – for the sale of our products or otherwise – or to otherwise respond to your requests.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM OTHER SOURCES

We may also collect information about you from other sources, including our affiliates and third parties from whom we have purchased Personal Information, and combine this information with Personal Information provided by you. This helps us to update, expand and analyze our records, identify new customers, and create more tailored advertising to provide services that may be of interest to you. We may also collect Personal Information from business contact information, including mailing address, job title, email address, phone number, ‘intent data’ which is web user behavior data, IP addresses, social handles, LinkedIn URLs and custom profiles from third-party data providers for the purposes of targeted advertising, delivering relevant email content, event promotion and profiling.

We may use a third-party service provider to manage and deliver our online orders and this service provider may collect information directly from you when you make a purchase and provide that information to us to fulfill your order.

3. Cookies and Tracking Policy  

This section provides our cookie policy and describes how we use cookies and similar technologies. With your consent, we use cookies and similar technologies to collect aggregate (non-personal) information about Site usage by all of our visitors and to help us remember you and your preferences when you revisit the Site. These cookies may stay on your browser into the future until they expire or you delete them. We also use technologies to remember your purchase selections in your shopping cart.  As these technologies are strictly necessary for the Site to function, we do not need your consent to use them.  These cookies are usually erased when you close your browser window.  An explanation of cookies and similar technologies is set out below.  Further general information about cookies and how they work is available at www.allaboutcookies.org.

Cookies.  A cookie is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser.  We use a variety of cookies, such as session, persistent and analytics cookies, among others, to identify and authenticate visitors and to store information in your electronic shopping baskets so it can be retrieved later.

With your consent, we allow selected third parties to place cookies on your device through the Site to provide us with better insights into the use of the Site or user demographics or to provide relevant advertising to you.  These third parties may collect information about a consumer’s online activities over time and across different websites when he or she uses our website. We may also permit third party service providers to place cookies through our Site to perform analytic or marketing functions where you are notified of them and you have consented to their usage.  We do not control the use of such third party cookies or the resulting information and we are not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties. Your consent is collected by way of a “cookie banner” which will appear when you first visit the Site.

In addition to rejecting cookies using our cookies page, you can also disable or delete cookies by changing the preferences on your device browser (usually located in the “Help” or “Tools” menu). Disabling all cookies may, however, prevent you from using some of the essential features of our Site. 

Web Beacons and Pixel Tags. We and our third-party service providers may use web beacons or pixel tags to control the automated collection of non-Personal Information. These small electronic tags on specific web pages on our Site help us monitor the activity on our Site in order to improve the performance of certain features and your shopping experience. 

JavaScript. In order to collect the kinds of information described in this Privacy Policy and to see how you interact with our Site, we, or third parties, may use JavaScript or other languages to send instructions to your devices.

Do Not Track.  Some browsers may provide a “Do Not Track” option which signals to websites and web services that you do not wish to have your online activities tracked over time or across different websites. A “Do Not Track” option may also allow you to opt out of behavioral advertising. At this time, because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, the Sites neither respond to nor support “Do Not Track” requests and will continue to collect information about your online activity as mentioned in this Privacy Policy notwithstanding our receipt of such signal or request. 

4. Our Online Stores

Our online stores may utilize a third-party e-commerce and payment partner or e-commerce partner for subscription purchases, such as Shopify or ReCharge, which allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your Personal Information is stored through these databases and applications. They store your Personal Information on a secure server behind a firewall. If you choose a direct payment through our store to complete your purchase, then our partners store your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction. Once 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.

5. Sharing your information

We may reveal information about you to unaffiliated third parties: 

• if you request or authorize it; 
• if it is necessary to provide the information to complete a transaction for you;

• if the disclosure is done as part of a purchase, transfer or sale of services or assets (e.g., in the event that substantially all of our assets are acquired by another party, customer information may be one of the transferred assets); 
• if the information is provided to our agents, outside vendors or service providers to perform functions on our behalf (e.g., analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing customer service, processing orders, etc.);

We may, with your consent, also share your information with unaffiliated third parties for their marketing purposes. Where you have given your consent, you may withdraw this at any time.  Withdrawing your consent will not however affect the legality of any processing (including sharing) previously undertaken on the basis of your consent. 

6. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect Personal Information within our organization, including security controls to prevent unauthorized access to our systems. While we take reasonable steps to secure your Personal Information from loss, misuse, interference and unauthorized access, modification and disclosure you should keep in mind that the Site is run on software, hardware, and networks, any component of which may, from time to time, require maintenance or experience problems or breaches of security beyond our control. 

You also play a role in protecting your information. You must maintain the security of your online transactions by not sharing your passwords and account information with any unauthorized parties. If we receive instructions using your log-in information we will consider that you have authorized the instructions. Please also be aware that despite our best intentions and the guidelines outlined in this Privacy Policy, no data transmission over the Internet or encryption method can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or our Site, and therefore you use our Site at your own risk. Please also take care when sending us Personal Information by email as email communications are not secure.

In the unlikely event that we believe the security of your Personal Information in our control may have been compromised, and this is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms we will try to notify you. To the extent you have provided us with your email address, we may notify you by email and you agree to our use of email as a means of such notification. If you prefer for us to use another method to notify you in this situation, please contact us using the information under “Contacting Us” below, with the alternative contact information you wish to be used.

7. Accessing your information and your choices

You can update, amend or delete your information at any time by logging into your online account. 

You can choose not to receive emails from us by “unsubscribing” using the instructions in any email you receive from us. This will not stop us from sending emails about your account or your transactions with us.  

You can edit your cookie preferences by visiting our cookie page. You can also choose to delete or block cookies by setting your browser to either reject all cookies or to allow cookies only from selected sites. If you block cookies performance of the Site may be impaired and certain features may not function at all.

D. Opt-Out Rights

5. Exercising Your CPRA Rights

A. Making CPRA Requests

• Access, Correction and Deletion.  To exercise the access, correction, and deletion rights California residents may contact us by visiting our CPRA request page here or calling us toll-free at 1 833-217-3060. We will ask you for information that allows us to reasonably verify your identity (that you are the person about whom we collected personal information) and will use that information only for that purpose. We may request that you submit a signed statement under penalty of perjury that you are the individual you claim to be. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding receipt of your request, but you may request that expand the 12-month period to cover information collected since January 1, 2022, and we will honor that expanded request unless doing so would involve a disproportionate effort.  We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 10 business days and will endeavor to respond within forty-five days of receipt of your request, but if we require more time (up to an additional forty-five days) we will notify you of our need for additional time. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity and confirm that the personal information relates to you.

• Opt-Out Rights.  To opt out of the sale of your personal information or the sharing of your personal information or to ask us to limit processing of your Sensitive Personal Information, you may submit a request to us by clicking the following appropriate link: “Do not sell or share my personal information".  You may also call us toll free at 1-833-217-3060.
  You may also opt out by activating a user-enabled global privacy control, such as a browser plug-in or privacy setting, device setting, or other mechanism, that communicates or signals your choice to opt-out of the sale and sharing of personal information. When we receive such a signal we will stop setting third party, analytics, or advertising partner cookies on your browser.  This will prevent the sale or sharing of information relating to that specific device through cookies to our advertising or analytics partners. This option does not stop all sales or sharing of your information because we cannot match your device’s identification or internet protocol address with your personally identifiable information like your name, phone number, email address or ZIP Code and we may have arrangements with other companies that qualify as a sale where your identifiable information, such as your name or email address, is disclosed. If you delete cookies on your browser, any prior do not sell or do not share signal is also deleted and you should make sure that your user-enabled setting is always activated.
  We will comply with your request promptly, and at least within 15 business days. Once we receive your request we will wait at least 12 months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales or sharing.

B. Using an Authorized agents

You may submit a request through someone holding a formal Power of Attorney. Otherwise, you may submit a request using an authorized agent only if (1) the person is registered with the Secretary of State to do business in California, (2) you provide the authorized agent with signed written permission to make a request, (3) you verify directly with us that you have authorized the person to make the request on your behalf, (4) you verify your own identity directly with us and (5) your agent provides us with proof that they are so authorized. We will require the agent to submit proof to us that they have been authorized to make requests on your behalf.

6. Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you as a result of your exercise of any of these rights.  Unless permitted by the CPRA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services;
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

7. Retention of Personal Information

We will store personal information in a form which permits us to identify consumers, for as long as necessary for the purpose for which the personal information is processed.  We may retain and use such personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements and rights, or if it is not technically reasonably feasible to remove it. We retain information consumers provide in connection with requests made under the CPRA for a period of two years.
