  • to fulfill or meet the reason you provided the information (For example, if you share your name and contact information to request a price quote or ask a question about our products or services, we will use that personal information to respond to your inquiry.  If you provide your personal information to purchase a product or service, we will use that information to process your payment and facilitate delivery.  We may also save your information to facilitate new product orders or process returns.);

We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice. 

 


Sharing Personal Information 

We may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose.  When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.  

We share your personal information with the following categories of third parties:  

  • Service providers (e.g., Shopify)
  • Advertising and marketing partners (e.g., Meta, Google) for cross-context behavioral advertising — see "Do Not Sell or Share" section below

Category K: Inferences drawn from personal information 


Sales of Personal Information  

In the preceding 12 months, we have shared personal information (identifiers, online activity, and inferred preferences) with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising, which constitutes "sharing" under the CPRA. We have NOT sold personal information for monetary compensation. For your opt-out rights, see the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" section below. 


Your Rights and Choices  

The California Privacy Laws provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information.  This section describes your California Privacy Laws rights and explains how to exercise those rights. 


Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights 

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months.  Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will disclose to you: 

  • the categories of personal information we collected about you;
  • the categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you;
  • our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information;
  • the categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information;
  • the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request);
  • if we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
    • sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and 
    • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.  

Our disclosure will cover the 12-month period preceding your request. For California residents, we will also honor requests covering periods back to January 1, 2022, unless doing so is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. 


Deletion Request Rights  

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions.  Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.  

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:  

  1. complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you; 
  2. detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;
  3. debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
  4. exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  5. comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code, § 1546 et. seq.).
  6. engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent; 
  7. enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us;
  8. comply with a legal obligation; and/or 
  9. make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it. 


Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information 

You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the inaccurate personal information, taking into account the nature of the information and our purposes for processing it. 



Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights 

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by contacting us at our email address described in our Privacy Policy.

 

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.  You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. 

 

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.  The verifiable consumer request must: 

  • provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and 
  • describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. 

 

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.  

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.  

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. 

For instructions on exercising sale opt-out rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.  

 

Response Timing and Format  

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt.  If we require more time (up to 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. 

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account.  If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.  

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt.  The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.  For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. 

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. 

 

Right to Confirm Opt-Out Status 

You may confirm the current status of your opt-out request at any time by emailing us at the address in our Privacy Policy with the subject line "Opt-Out Status Request." 

 

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights 

If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell or share your personal information at any time (the "right to opt-out"). We DO NOT sell personal information for monetary compensation. We do share certain personal information — including identifiers, internet activity, and inferred preferences — with advertising partners (e.g., Meta, Google) for cross-context behavioral advertising, which constitutes "sharing" under the CPRA. 

To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information: 

  • Use our Cookie Preference Center in the footer to toggle off Marketing cookies.
  • Enable a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser — we will honor it automatically without any further action required from you.
  • Email us at the contact email provided in our Privacy Policy with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share Request."


Non-Discrimination 

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your California Privacy Laws rights.  Unless permitted by the California Privacy Laws, we will not: 

  • deny you goods or services;
  • charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
  • provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or 
  • suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the California Privacy Laws that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels.  Any California Privacy Laws permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects.  Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.  

 

Changes to Our Privacy Notice

We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time.  When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will post the updated notice on the Website and update the notice’s effective date.  Your continued use of our Website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
