Do we use ‘cookies’?

Yes.

For instance, we may use cookies to help us understand your preferences, based on your previous or current site activity. This enables us to provide you with improved services. We also may use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
We may use cookies to:

  1. Understand and save user’s preferences for future visits.

Third-party disclosure:

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your PII, unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information when it’s 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 other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Third-party links:

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on our website. These third parties have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

California Online Privacy Protection Act:

CalOPPA is the first state law in the United States to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach goes beyond California to require any person or company in the United States that operates a website collecting PII from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.

For more information please visit: consumercal.org

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

  1. Users can visit our site anonymously.
  2. We will add a link to our Privacy Policy on our home page, or at a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act):

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the United States consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

Fair Information Practices:

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, within 7 business days, should our site have a data breach:

  1. We will notify you via email if you have provided us an email address.
  2. We will notify website users via in-site notification.

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle, which provides that individuals have the right to pursue their enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law.

CAN SPAM Act:

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, and gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them.
We collect your email address in order to:

  1. Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
  2. Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred.

To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:
