INFORMATION COLLECTION, USE, AND SHARING
By providing us with your data, you warrant to us that you are over 13 years of age.
Our business is the data controller and we are responsible for your personal data (referred to as “we”, “us” or “our” in this privacy notice).
WHAT DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU
Transactional: You may send us information through website contact forms, social media, email, order forms, etc. that provides us with data about you. We use this data to fulfill your requests and for the purpose(s) for which it is shared.
Some parts of our website may require a user to complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the products/services on our site in which you have expressed interest. At your option, you may also provide demographic information (such as gender or age) about yourself, but it is not required.
Financial/Payment: Should you place or order, make a donation, or pay for a service, your financial information is required. This data is used to process your payment. No payment information is stored by us. Any online payment processing occurs through Stripe and occasionally PayPal. You may read their privacy policies: Stripe & Paypal.
Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Media: Some parts of our website may allow you to upload an image or file. If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Marketing: When you perform certain actions on our site (such as requesting a free download item by providing your email address), we clearly acknowledge that you will receive future emails from us. We sometimes use MailChimp as our email marketing tool. You may read their Privacy Policy here, and you may unsubscribe at any time.
Additionally, we may collect marketing data using analytics through your activity on our site.
Technical Data: By using our site, we may be able to collect information about your activity, but not about you specifically. We anonymize the data collected through Google Analytics so that you are not personally identifiable. This background data is used to help us improve our website and your experience, to provide more focused content and marketing to you, and to learn more about user activity on our site.
Please do not supply any other person’s personal data to us.
WHO HAS ACCESS TO YOUR DATA
We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you, or to information that our analytics collect anonymously. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone. We will use your information for the purpose that it was collected.
Occasionally, we carefully select third parties and enter into contracts with them so that they can assist us in serving you. We may also use them for our own marketing and advertising tasks.
Only those third parties, employees, and partners who have a business need to know such data have access. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they must keep it confidential.
If you purchase a product or service from a third party through us, we will pass your personal information to such third party in order for them to fulfill your order.
HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
For other data, we will only retain your personal data as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) we collected it for, including the purposes of satisfying any legal or reporting requirements.
SECURITY
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as contact form or 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 top of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.
The servers where we store personally identifiable information are protected by authentication.
YOUR ACCESS TO AND CONTROL OVER YOUR DATA
You may opt out of any future contact from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us at the contact information below. If you have received a marketing email from us, you may simply unsubscribe at anytime; the link is provided in the footer of every marketing email.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

COOKIES
We use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site.
