It is sometimes necessary for us to collect or process information about you in order to operate this website and its associated businesses. This information will take one or more of the following forms:

What is “Personal Data?”

When we refer to ‘personal data’ we mean any information that allows us to identify you personally. Examples include your name, email address, postal address etc. Other types of information, such as your computer’s ‘IP’ address or broad geographical location do not, generally, allow us to identify you directly.

How Your Data May Be Collected:

Website forms:

When you complete one of the contact forms on our website, we will ask you for a number of pieces of personal information, such as your name, email address and other contact details. This is obviously required for us to respond to your request.

If you do not use or submit an online form on the website, no data will be collected in that regard.

Cookies:

Cookies are tiny snippets of computer code that track your movements around a website. Our website host and several third-party companies that help us build our awesome site use cookies to help us, as well as themselves, maintain and improve our site. You may opt out of all cookies the first time you visit our site. Your continued use of the site is your approval for use of cookies.

Here is a great resource for disabling cookies directly in your browser from Computer Hope.

Purchases:

Purchases made directly with us are processed either through PayPal, Amazon, or Square. Each of these options may trigger data collection needed for payment processing or follow-up of your purchase within the scope of each payment form. Each of these processors has their own privacy policy that you can read by clicking the links above.

MailChimp:

We use MailChimp to stay in touch with those who have opted to receive emails from us. MailChimp collects and stores data related to whether you open our emails, click on links, or ignore us. MailChimp’s privacy policy is here.

Advertisers:

Because we have advertising on our website, clicking on those ads or advertising links within the text may trigger data collection from the ad providers, including, but not limited, to Amazon.

Analytics programs:

We use Google Analytics to help us improve our service to you.

When people visit our site, information about their visit (such as which pages they look at, how long they spend on the site and so on) is sent in an anonymous form to Google Analytics (which is controlled by Google).

The data contains information about anyone who uses our website from your computer, and there is no way to identify individuals from the data.

We ensure that no personally identifiable information is ever contained within the data sent to our analytics providers, and we also perform a process which partially obscures your IP address information.

Social Media and Third-Party Sites:

Our website includes social media features, such as the Facebook Like button. These features may collect information about your IP address and which page you are visiting on our Website, and they may set a cookie to make sure the feature functions properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Website. We also maintain presences on social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Any information, communications, or materials you submit to us via a social media platform is done at your own risk without any expectation of privacy. We cannot control the actions of other users of these platforms or the actions of the platforms themselves. Your interactions with those features and platforms are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide them.

Our website includes links to other websites, whose privacy practices may be different from ours. If you submit Personal Information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any Website you visit.
