Your Privacy & Security
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally identifiable information’ (PII) is being used online and to address new requirements under the new European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and requirements under the CAN SPAM Act, the Children Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA).
PII, as used in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.
What personal information do we collect from the people that visit our website?
When ordering on our site, as appropriate, you will be asked to enter your name, email address, mailing/shipping address, and credit card information to help us process your order. We also request your phone number in case we need to contact you regarding your order.
When do we collect information?
We collect information from you only when you place an order. We do not require you to establish an account with us to place an order or view our products.
How do we use your information?
We may use the information we collect from you when you make a purchase in the following ways:
• To quickly process your transactions.
• To send you emails regarding your order.
• To send shipping and tracking notifications when your order is shipped.
• We will only call you if there is an issue with your order and we are unable to contact you via email.
How do we protect visitor information?
Our website and is PCI compliant is scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our site as safe as possible. In addition we use regular Malware Scanning to keep you safe when visiting our site.
When placing an order online, we implement a variety of security measures when a user submits their personal information. All personal, sensitive and credit information you supply when entering our check out area is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and is processed through our secured gateway provider. We use the most secure type of encryption available, look for the Secure Lock when you enter check out.
In addition, all personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.
For additional fraud protection we require a CVV code (usually on back of card) to be entered along with your credit card number and expiration date. This feature goes along way to protect you from unauthorized charges. If you aren’t sure where your CVV code is located don’t worry. We have a diagram showing it’s location when you are checking out. Your CVV credit card code will only be used to authorize a purchase – it is processed with the most secure technology as Hosted Fields. Hosted Fields are small, transparent iframes that replace the sensitive credit card inputs in your checkout flow – helping us meet the latest data security requirements. Your CVV number will never be visible to us, saved or stored.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under 13.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices and GDPR Regulations we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via email within 72 Hours.
We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
