Legal Grounds for Collecting and Using Personal Data

The basis for collecting and using your personal data as outlined in this policy depends on the type of data collected and the specific circumstances of its collection. This includes:


Advertisements & Outbound Links

Occasionally, the website may feature ads or links to other websites. Our company is not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites nor do we endorse their actions. It is up to the user to review the practices and policies of any third-party websites.


Sensitive Data Privacy Disclaimer

We do not collect or store sensitive personal information that could result in financial loss or identity theft, such as personal addresses or card details. All transactions are processed on secure servers provided by our payment aggregator. When payment is required, customers are redirected to a secure payment gateway and then returned to our website upon completion.


Data Privacy & The Law

Your data privacy is safeguarded by various international privacy laws, including GDPR, Privacy & Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations, OECD, CPPA, and other global privacy regulations.


Data Protection Rights

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have specific data protection rights. If you wish to know what personal data we hold about you or wish to have it removed from our systems, please contact us.

Under certain circumstances, you have the following data protection rights:


Withdrawing Consent

You have the right to request the removal of your data at no cost or to request a report detailing the data we hold about you. Please note that a nominal administrative fee of $10 is charged for providing this report.


California Online Privacy Protection Act & CCPA

California’s law requires commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. This law applies beyond California to any entity in the United States (and potentially globally) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California residents. Such entities must post a privacy policy detailing the information collected and shared, and adhere to this policy.  

In accordance with CalOPPA/CCPA, we adhere to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously using ‘in-private/incognito’ browsing options available on most modern browsers.

Users will be informed of any changes to our privacy policy:

Users can update their personal information:

How does our site handle do-not-track signals?

We respect ‘do not track’ signals and do not set cookies or use advertising when a ‘do not track’ (DNT) browser mechanism is detected.

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?

We do not permit third-party behavioral tracking.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires parental control over the collection of personal information from children under 13. With the CCPA, the age requirement has been raised to 16. The Federal Trade Commission enforces COPPA/CCPA regulations to safeguard children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not target marketing efforts towards children under 16.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles underpin U.S. privacy laws and have influenced global data protection regulations. Understanding and implementing these principles is crucial for compliance with privacy laws protecting personal information.

Complying with Fair Information Practices

In the event of a data breach, we will notify users via email within 180 business days. We do not agree to the individual redress principle, which allows individuals to pursue legal action against data collectors and processors for non-compliance. This principle requires individuals to have enforceable rights and access to courts or government agencies for addressing non-compliance.

CAN-SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act regulates commercial email, sets requirements for commercial messages, grants recipients the right to opt out of emails, and imposes penalties for violations.
