However, please note that doing this may affect how our website functions. Some pages and services may become unavailable to you.

Unless you have changed your browser to refuse cookies, our website may issue cookies when you visit it.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Our website may contain links to other websites. Please note that we have no control of websites outside of our domain. If you provide information to a website to which we link, we are not responsible for its protection or privacy.

Analytics

We may leverage Google Analytics, or other 3rd party tracking solutions to gather and analyze data related to how visitors find and access our site. This information is used only to manage and improve our site.

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.

Who do we share your data with?

Be assured that we do not sell or otherwise disseminate your personally identifiable information to outside parties. 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 also 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 trusted third other party partners for the purposes of marketing, advertising, or other uses.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

When you place an order through the site, we will maintain your order information for our records unless you ask us to delete this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us through the contact information below.

Additionally, if you are a European resident we note that we are processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the Site), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above. Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Security

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) by DigiCert. When you place an order online, the SSL scrambles and encrypts your information before it is sent to us over the Internet. This protects your personal and credit card information from being read while it is transferred through cyberspace. Information exchanged with any address beginning with https is encrypted using SSL before transmission. After your order is placed, your credit card information remains encrypted at all times. We are never able to view your complete credit card information.

Fair Credit Billing Act

It is important to remember that you are protected by the Fair Credit Billing Act when shopping online as well. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank or credit card company cannot legally hold you liable for more than $50.00 worth of fraudulent charges. The FCBA settlement procedures apply only to disputes about “billing errors.” For example:

Unauthorized charges. Federal law limits your responsibility for unauthorized charges to $50.
Charges that list the wrong date or amount.
Charges for goods and services you didn’t accept or weren’t delivered as agreed.

In the unfortunate event that your credit card is used without your authorization, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with their reporting rules and procedures.

Data Protection

We will always hold your information securely.

We have implemented strong physical and electronic security safeguards to prevent unauthorized disclosure or access to any information collected through our website.
