Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

  • Promotional Offers from the Company. If you do not wish to have your e-mail address/contact information used by the Company to promote our own or third parties’ products or services, you can opt-out by clicking the unsubscribe link in the promotional email. This opt out does not apply to information provided to the Company as a result of a product purchase, warranty registration, product service experience or other transactions.
  • Unsubscribe or Opt-Out. All users and/or visitors to our Services have the option to discontinue receiving communication from us and/or reserve the right to discontinue receiving communications by way of email or newsletters.  If you wish to unsubscribe or opt-out from any third-party website, you must go to that specific website to unsubscribe and/or opt-out.
  • Access, Correction, Deletion. You may review, edit, and/or delete the information we collected about you at any time by contacting us at the addresses listed at the end of this privacy policy.  If your information has been shared with a third party, as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, then that third party has received its own copy of your data.  If you have been contacted by one of these third parties and wish to correct or delete your information, please contact them directly.

“Do Not Track” Requests

“Do Not Track” is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable “Do Not Track” by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your browser.  Our Site currently does not respond to “do not track” or similar signals.

Payment Information

When you make a payment, we treat your personal information in accordance with the practices set forth herein. You will be taken to the website of one of our third-party service providers.  The service provider will either collect or have access to your first and last name, zip code, postal address, email address, donation amount, billing information, and payment card information.  

How Do We Protect Your Information?

To protect your Personal Information, we take commercially reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. However, no data protection procedures are entirely infallible. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that it will be 100% secure. Your transmission of your information to our Platform thus is done entirely at your own risk.

Third-Party Websites and Social Media

Our Site may contain links to other sites, including those of third parties or partners.  While we seek to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we cannot be responsible for the privacy practices other websites use.  By accessing other third party websites or applications through our Site, you are consenting to the terms and privacy policies of those websites.  It is possible that other parties may collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different web sites when you use our Site.

Our Site may include social media features, such as Facebook “Likes” or “Recommend” buttons, Pinterest, Twitter, Tumblr, and YouTube.  These social media features may require cookies to be set to function properly.  These features may also collect Personal Information such as your IP address.  These features are governed by the Privacy Policy of the social media platform.  Please review the Privacy Policy of the social media platforms to learn how they protect your information.

International Visitors

Our Site is hosted and operated in the United States (“US”).  By using this Site, you are consenting to the transfer of your personal information to the US.  If you are accessing our Site from outside the US, please be advised that US law may not offer the same privacy protections as the law of your jurisdiction.  

California Visitors

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

European Union Visitors

For our customers residing in the European Economic Area (EEA), you may have additional rights relating to your personal information.

Legal Basis for Processing

If you are an individual located in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, our legal basis for processing your personal information will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which it is collected.  However, we will normally collect or process personal information from you only where:

  • We have your consent to do so; or
  • We need the personal information to perform a contract with you (e.g. to deliver services).

 

In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to process Personal Information from you or may need the Personal Information to protect your vital interest or those of another person. If we rely on your consent to process the Personal Information, you have the right to withdraw or decline your consent at any time in writing or as otherwise permitted.  Please note that this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your Personal Information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

Retention

We will retain your personal information for as long as is needed to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Individuals residing in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland have certain rights to access and control their personal data.  These rights include:

  • the right to be informed;
