Definitions

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:

Personal Data Collection and Usage

We collect the minimum Personal Data necessary to fulfill Your request, protect our system from abuse, and meet our legal requirements.

What we collect

We collect the contact information and ship-to address You enter into the checkout form when purchasing Our products. We also collect Your current IP address and the Agent String automatically provided by Your browser when you interact with the Website.

We do not collect, store or even handle Your payment card information. Your payment card information is submitted from your browser, directly to the credit card processor. They return a 'result code' and a 'transaction code' to us to reference the charge. These codes are what we store in our databases.

How We use Your Personal Data

Any Personal Data You provide through the Website or by any other means is used to complete Your order, collect payment, provide customer support, prevent and respond to fraud, maintain financial records, and meet other legal requirements.

The ship-to address is used to deliver Your order to You. The contact information is used to communicate with You about Your order. For example, We might send You a payment card receipt when You place the order and a shipping confirmation when We ship the order. We use this information to contact You if We have a question or problem with the order.

We use Your browser Agent String and current IP for fraud and abuse detection. For example, We use this information to help detect and block automated processes (bots) from placing orders.

We record this data in our sales records. This is necessary to generate sales receipts, honor warranties, comply with tax laws, respond to fraud or credit card inquiries, and meet general accounting practices.

We do not use Your Personal Data for marketing purposes, nor do We attempt to combine it with other data sources to build a profile of You.

Disclosure of Your Personal Data

We disclose to third party Service Providers, the minimum Personal Data necessary to fulfill these functions. For example, We will provide Your shipping information and contact information to the delivery company (UPS, FedEx...) to deliver Your order and notify You of the shipping status.

Under certain circumstances, We may be required to disclose Your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).

If We are involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, Our sales records may be transferred.

We may disclose Your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

Protection of Your Personal Data

The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Transfer of Your Personal Data

Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at the Company's operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from Your jurisdiction.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by Your submission of such information represents Your agreement to that transfer.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Retention of Your Personal Data

We will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

Website Usage Data

Data about how the website is used is collected automatically when using the Service.

We use the most popular web server on the net: Apache. It, like all web servers, maintains logs for maintenance, diagnostic and statistical purposes. For each item fetched from our Website (web page, image, style sheet...), Apache creates a log entry with the following information: IP, time-stamp, requested resource, result (OK, missing..), file size, referrer and the browser agent. This information is insufficient to identify an individual user unless combined with additional external information. We make no attempt to use this information to identify specific users except as necessary to stop or prosecute abusive behavior.

We use this information to

Cookies

Cookies have many uses. They are essential to some website functionality (like remembering which shopping cart is Yours or avoiding the need to login to every page you visit.) Unfortunately, people have developed undesirable uses for them like tracking You across websites or building profiles of You. Most of these undesirable uses are implemented through 3rd party Cookies.

We only use 1st party Cookies and we only use them as originally intended; to enable or enhance the Website functionality.

Necessary/Essential Cookies

These Cookies are essential to provide You with services available through the Website and to enable You to use some of its features. They help to authenticate users, prevent fraudulent use of user accounts, and enable Us to associate the data You have placed in Your shopping cart with a specific order. Without these Cookies, the services that You have asked for cannot be provided. We only use these Cookies to provide You with those services.

Functional Cookies

Functional Cookies are used to remember Your specific choices or device characteristics that affect the page layout. For example, you can choose a different font size in the on-line manuals. We use a Cookie to remember that choice so that You don’t have to set it on each new or refreshed page. We only use these Cookies for these purposes.

Tracking or Profiling Cookies

We do not use cookies for these purposes.

Impact of Your Cookie Settings

Your browser allows You to control how it handles Cookies. This section describes the effect each common setting has on the Website functionality.

Tracking and Profiling

We do not track You across devices, browsers, or websites or build a behavioral profile of You.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.

If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.

Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services, including those listed as Our distributors or authorized resellers.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Website, and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on the Website.
