Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and let us know if you have any questions by contacting us at [email protected].

Information We Collect

We collect both personal and non-personal information from you when you visit our website or make purchases. Personal information refers to any information that can be used to identify you individually, such as your name, email address, or billing information. Non-personal information refers to information that cannot be used to identify you, such as demographic data.

Personal Information

The personal information we collect generally includes the following:

Contact information such as name, email address, and phone number when you create an account, make a purchase, subscribe to marketing communications, request information, or contact us.
Payment and billing information such as credit card number, billing address, and shipping address when you make a purchase from our online store.
Account information such as username, password, and preferences when you register for an account with us.
Interests and communication preferences based on the pages you visit on our website, the links you click, and your preferences for receiving marketing emails and push notifications.
Other information you voluntarily provide to us, such as through surveys, contest entries, or requests for service.

Non-Personal Information

The non-personal information we collect falls into two categories:

Usage data: We collect information about how you interact with our website and services. This includes pages visited, products viewed, purchases made, links clicked, emails opened, and other actions you take. This data allows us to better understand our users and improve the website experience.

Device data: We collect technical information from the device and application you use to access our website. This includes IP address, browser type and version, time zone, operating system, mobile device manufacturer, and other similar data. This data allows our website to function properly across different devices and browsers.

Provide, maintain, and improve our website, products, and services

Respond to your requests and communicate with you
Send marketing communications, if you opt-in
Administer contests, surveys, or other promotions
Detect, investigate, and prevent activities that may violate our policies or be illegal

Comply with legal obligations and defend our legal rights
For any other purpose that is clearly disclosed at the time of collection

We will not use your personal information for purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent.

How We Share Information

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances:

With third party service providers working on our behalf who are bound by security and confidentiality obligations. This includes payment processors, email service providers, advertising networks, data analytics firms, and more.
When required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, legal proceedings, or similar legal process
To investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person or violations of our Terms of Service
To establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims
In connection with a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, reorganization, sale of some or all of our assets or stock, financing, public offering of securities, or steps in consideration of such activities. In the event of one of these transactions, your information may be shared with the other participating entities. If another entity acquires our business or assets, that entity will possess the information collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

We do not share your personal information with any third parties for their own marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to our own legal and regulatory obligations. We have retention, backup, and deletion policies in place to prevent personal information from being kept indefinitely. For example:

Account information is kept until you close your account with us. We may retain some information after account closure to comply with legal obligations.
Marketing information is kept until you unsubscribe or opt-out.
Payment information is kept for as long as necessary to comply with tax, audit, and financial regulations.
Usage data is periodically deleted or anonymized after a period of time.

Your Data Rights

You have certain rights with respect to the personal information we hold about you. These include:

The right to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information
The right to object to processing of your personal information or request restriction of processing
The right to data portability of information you provided to us
The right to withdraw consent at any time for data processing based on consent
The right to opt-out of marketing communications
The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling

To make a request regarding your personal information please contact us at [email protected]. Please note that in some cases we may not be able to fully comply with requests, such as when access and disclosure would reveal personal information about another person or where we are legally prevented from doing so. In such situations we will provide you with an explanation.

Security of Your Information

We take reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information. Some examples of our security safeguards include:

Encryption of payment transactions and personal information during transfer using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols
Restricting access to personal information only to employees and authorized service providers on a strictly need-to-know basis
Maintaining physical security measures such as access badge requirements at offices
Backing up data and storing it securely offline or encrypted

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or data storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information.
