WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We use servers in the United States to process and store Personal Data. In the future we may use servers located elsewhere. In that event, we will update this Privacy Policy and will promptly inform Customers of the update through a notice of an updated Privacy Policy appearing when visitors come to our Site.
We all know that no method of transmission over the Internet, and method of electronic storage, can be 100% secure. This means we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. We make reasonable efforts to ensure that these servers are kept in a secure, locked environment with restricted access, and we have ensured that our Business Partners who operate the servers have established physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect Personal Data.
Personal Data stored by us may be accessed and processed by staff operating outside your jurisdiction, who work either for us or for one of our Business Partners. This staff may be engaged in fulfilling your order or request, processing a payment, storing information, and/or providing support services to us. Since we use Shopify to power our Site, please consult Shopify’s privacy policy located at: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy as well as how Shopify uses Cookies at https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies. We are not responsible for how Shopify may use your information.
We have implemented a variety of technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data from loss, misuse, unlawful processing, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, alteration, and destruction. These include limiting access to the databases to a limited number of authorized staff who are required to maintain the information as confidential. Further, access to the databases is password protected. We or our Business Partners also have in place additional security and/or outside auditors to further assist in maintaining the security of information in our possession.
PASSWORDS
If we allow you to create an account with login/password information, you are responsible for keeping your username and password confidential and may not share it with anyone.
HACKERS
While we make reasonable and industry-standard efforts to ensure the integrity and security of our network, Site, and systems, we cannot guarantee that such security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining information.
We cannot be, and are not, responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained in our Site, including the illegal acts of third parties (such as criminal hacking).
We disclaim any and all liability for disclosure of any information obtained due to errors in transmission or the unauthorized acts of third parties as more specifically detailed in our Disclaimers detailed in our Terms. ANY TRANSMISSION OF DATA OR INFORMATION THROUGH OUR SITE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Site or purchase our Products. Such third-party companies may use information (not including your name, address, or e-mail address) about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements on sites, goods, and services that may be of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice, and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please review your rights at the Network Advertising Initiative.
When you use features such as social networking, chat rooms, or forums, you should take precautions not to submit any Personal Data that you do not want to be seen, collected, or used by others.

We will retain your Personal Data indefinitely while you are a purchasing Customer, including resellers. When you stop purchasing Products for yourself or for resale, we will retain your Personal Data for a reasonable period of time in order to allow you to download any database information, if any, stored therein. Thereafter, any Personal Data will be anonymized or pseudonymized or otherwise deidentified so that it cannot be connected with a particular individual, entity, or IP address.
If you provide us with a username or Personal Data for online payments or credit card information, we, or our Business Partners, such as credit card processors may maintain that information for as long as you maintain your Customer login information in order to accept or send automatic payments.
