Security

We take commercially reasonable steps to protect your Personal Data from misuse, disclosure or unauthorized access. We only share your Personal Data with trusted third parties who use the same level of care in processing your Personal Data as we do. That being said, we cannot guarantee that your Personal Data will always be secure due to technology or security breaches. Should there be a data breach of which we are aware, we will inform you immediately.

Securing Personal Data and Information Transmission

Security for all Personal Data is of utmost importance to us. We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures in an effort to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access and improper use.

This includes using standard security protocols and working only with reputable third-party vendors. Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send private information to us by email. However, doing so is allowed, but at your own risk. Credit Card information and other sensitive information such as this should never be transmitted via email.

While visiting our Website, some of the information you may enter on our Website may be transmitted securely via a secure medium known as Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL Certificate. We also protect your Personal Data offline. Only team members who work with this Company and who need the information to perform a specific task (ie. customer service) are granted access to Personal Data.

We continually review all such measures and update them when appropriate. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Data, the Company cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit via the internet. By transmitting any such information to the Company, you accept that you do so at your own risk.

Online Privacy for Children Under the Age of 13

Our Website and its content is directed to individuals who are at least 13 years of age or older and not intended for children under 13 years of age. The Company recognizes the special obligation to protect Personal Data obtained from children age 13 and under. No one under age 13 may provide any information to or on the Website and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

As such, if you are under 13, do not use or provide any information on this Website or on or through any of its features/registrations on the Website, make any purchases through the Website, use any of the interactive or public comment features of this Website, or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or user name you may use.

If the Company discovers we have collected or received personal identifiable information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that child’s identifiable information from our records. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected].

Nonetheless, we encourage parents to go online with their kids. Here are a few tips to help make a child’s online experience safer:

Teach kids never to give personal information, unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult. Includes name, address, phone, school, etc.
Know the websites your kids are visiting and which websites are appropriate.
Look for Website privacy policies. Know how your child’s information is treated.
Check out the FTC’s website for more tips on protecting children's privacy online

We have a no spam policy and provide you with the ability to opt-out of our communications by selecting the unsubscribe link at the footer of all emails. We will not sell, rent or share your email address, nor ever send out misleading information.

Neither the Company nor the Website knowingly permit the use of malware, spyware, viruses, and/or other similar types of software.

Third Party Websites

We may link to other websites on our Website. We have no responsibility or liability for the content and practices of any third-party individual, company or entity whose website or materials may be linked to our Website or its content, and thus we cannot be held liable for the privacy of the information on their website or that you voluntarily share with their website. Please review their privacy policies for guidelines as to how they respectively store, use and protect the privacy of your Personal Data. We recommend doing so prior to disclosing any of your personal information.
