Other

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under the U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by COMPANY infringe your copyright, you, or your agent may send to COMPANY a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it be blocked. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon COMPANY actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send to COMPANY a counter-notice. All notices and counter notices must meet the then current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. COMPANY’s Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement or counter notices can be reached utilizing the CONTACT link on this page.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using the Site, you agree that your use of our Site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy.

How We Collect and Use Information

We may collect and store personal or other information that you voluntarily supply to us online while using the Site (e.g., while on the Site or in responding via email to a feature provided on the Site). We only contact individuals who specifically request that we do so or in the event that they have signed up to receive our free newsletters or have purchased one of our products. We collect personally identifying information from our users during online registration and online purchasing. Generally, this information includes name and e-mail address for registration to receive our free newsletters and name, postal address, and credit card information when purchasing our products. All of this information is provided to us by you.

We also collect and store information that is generated automatically as you navigate online through the Site.

We also may use a standard feature found in browser software called a “cookie” to enhance your experience with the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us deliver advertisements, identify how many unique users visit us, and track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Site where you may have entered preference information before. The Site also may use web beacons (single-pixel graphic files also known as “transparent GIFs”) to access cookies and to count users who visit the Site or open HTML-formatted email messages.

We use the information we collect from you while you are using the Site in a variety of ways, including using the information to customize features. We will NOT provide your information to third parties, such as service providers and contractors.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal information available for viewing by third parties online – for example on message boards, web logs, through email, or in chat areas – that information can be seen, collected and used by others besides us. We cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third-party use of such information.

The Site also includes links to other websites and provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control. When you access another website or purchase third-party products or services through the Site, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting or the provider of such products or services.

We may also make some content, products and services available through our Site through cooperative relationships with third-party providers, where the brands of our provider partner appear on the Site in connection with such content, products and/or services. We may share with our provider partner any information you provide, or that is collected, in the course of visiting any pages that are made available in cooperation with our provider partner. In some cases, the provider partner may collect information from you directly, in which cases the privacy policy of our provider partner may apply to the provider partner’s use of your information. The privacy policy of our provider partners may differ from ours. If you have any questions regarding the privacy policy of one of our provider partners, you should contact the provider partner directly for more information.

Be aware that we may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of the Site or the public.

Please also note that as our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely event that we sell some or all of our assets, or one or more of our websites is acquired by another company, information about our users may be among the transferred assets.

Our business is not directed to children under thirteen (13) years or age and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will promptly delete such personal information from our systems.

4. “Standard Contractual Clauses” means the model clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries approved by the European Commission, the approved version of which is set out in the European Commission’s Decision 2010/87/EU of 5 February 2010 and at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32010D0087, which clauses are incorporated herein by this reference.

Effective Date

Exhibit A to this DPA describes the data exporter, data importer, data subjects, data categories, special data categories (if appropriate), the processing operations and the technical and organizational measures implemented by Processor to protect the Personal Data. For the purposes of the Standard Contractual Clauses, (a) Customer is the data exporter, and Customer’s execution of this DPA shall be treated as Customer’s execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses and appendices in this DPA; and (b) Processor is the data importer, and Processor’s execution of this DPA shall be treated as Processor’s execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses and appendices in this DPA.

   3. take all applicable and appropriate measures required of processors pursuant to Article 32 of the GDPR.

Processor may charge a fee (based on Processor’s reasonable costs) for any audits under this Section 4(b)(vii).
3. Where Processor engages another processor for carrying out specific processing activities on behalf of Customer, the same data protection obligations as set out in this DPA shall be imposed on that other processor by way of a contract or other legal act under European Union or Member State law, in particular providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR. [Article 28(4)]
4. Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, Customer and Processor shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. [Article 32(1)]
5. In assessing the appropriate level of security, account shall be taken of the risks that are presented by processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed. [Article 32(2)]
6. Customer and Processor shall take steps to ensure that any natural person acting under the authority of Customer or Processor who has access to Personal Data does not process them except on instructions from Customer, unless he or she is required to do so by European Union or Member State law (or, in the case of Processor, United States law). [Article 32(4)]
7. Processor shall notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a Personal Data breach. [Article 33(2)] Such notice will, at a minimum, (A) describe the nature of the Personal Data breach including where possible, the categories and approximate number of data subjects concerned and the categories and approximate number of Personal Data records concerned; (B) communicate the name and contact details of the data protection officer or other contact where more information can be obtained; (C) describe the likely consequences of the personal data breach; and (D) describe the measures taken or proposed to be taken by the controller to address the personal data breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects. [Article 33(3)] Processor’s notification or response under this Section 4(g) shall not be construed as an acknowledgement by Processor of any fault or liability with respect to such Personal Data breach.
