DATA SECURITY

Security Measures
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. To this end we continuously implement and update administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, or alteration. Some of the safeguards we use to protect your information are firewalls and data encryption, and information access controls. In addition, all payment transactions are encrypted. Our payment form communicates directly over TLS 1.2 channels to encrypt your credit card information when you process payments through our Site. For your added security all online payment transactions are processed automatically by a third-party processor, thus we are not party to your personal credit card or bank details.

If you know or have reason to believe that your Site account has been lost, stolen, misappropriated, or otherwise compromised or in case of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your Site account, please contact us.

No Liability for Breach

Because no data transmission is completely secure, and no system of physical or electronic security is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of the data that you send to us or the security of servers, networks or databases, and by using the Site and/or our services you agree to assume all risk in connection with your data. We are not responsible for any loss of such data or the consequences thereof.

Breach Notification

In the event that we believe the security of your data in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you. If notification is appropriate, we may notify you by e-mail, telephone call or other reasonable means.

POLICY MODIFICATIONS

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions from this policy at any time. However, if at any time in the future we plan to use Personal Information in a way that differs from this policy, we will post such changes here. Your continued use of the Site and services following the posting of any changes to this policy means you accept such changes. Please check this page periodically for changes to this Privacy Policy.

We may use email to communicate with you, to send information that you have requested or to send information about other products or services developed or provided by us, provided that, we will not sell or give your email address to another party to promote their products or services directly to you.
