Security
We take precautions to protect your information both online (with encryption) and offline (with access controls).
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
We also comply with CCPA & CDPA data breach notification requirements.
No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use reasonable measures in accordance with applicable law, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
Our sites and apps are meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal 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 Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
