Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for our website. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by our website. It will notify you of the following:

• The personally identifiable information that is collected from you through the website, how it is used, and with whom it may be shared.
• The choices are available to you regarding the use of your data.
• The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information.
• How you can see the data that has been collected and correct any inaccuracies in the information.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

We are the sole owners of the information collected from our website. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via this website, email, or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization or affiliated entities, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, process a payment, or as required by law.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email, text, telephone, or prerecorded message using automated telephone technologies in the future to provide you with information about our programs, events, announcements, or changes to this privacy policy.

Your Access to and Control over Information

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number given on our website:

• See what data we have about you, if any.
• Change/correct any data we have about you.
• Have us delete any data we have about you.
• Express any concern you have about our use of your data.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted 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 encryption is used to protect sensitive information transmitted online, your information is also protected offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Payment

We request personal information from you on our order form when you pay any fees online. You must provide contact information (e.g., name and billing address) and financial information (e.g., credit card number and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes. If we have trouble processing a transaction, we will use this information to contact you.

We use a credit card processing company to bill users for fees paid online through the website. This company does not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond processing your payment.
