Privacy Policy
LAST REVISED: 06/01/2024
Your privacy is important to me and I am committed to protecting the privacy of my users and the information that you share in connection with my Site. This Privacy Policy identifies: (i) what information I collect; (ii) how I process and manage such information; (iii) your rights with respect to the use and disclosure of the same. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy please contact me at endemann.martin@gmail.com.
1. PERSONAL DATA AND NON-PERSONAL DATA
a. “Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data.
b. “Non-Personal Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Non-Personal Data does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons. I collect Personal Data and Non-Personal Data, as described below.
2. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO I COLLECT AND HOW DO I USE IT?
a. What data is collected. I collect Personal Data that you voluntarily provide us, for example, when you create an Account, register for my newsletter and/or make a purchase I may require your name, email, contact information, billing address, credit card inform and/or other information you may provide us. I also collect information about you from various sources, including from your in-store purchases. I also may collect information about you that I receive from other sources (like public records), to enable me to update and correct the information contained in my database and to provide product recommendations and special offers that I think will interest you.
b. Use of Personal Data.
We will use your Personal Data to:
◦ Make the Site or services available to you;
◦ Process and fulfil orders;
◦ Enhance the Site;
◦ Respond to your requests or to manage Accounts;
◦ Monitor the security of the Site; and/or
◦ Provide you with promotional communications.
3. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION I disclose Your Personal Data as described below and as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
a. Third-Party Service Provides. I will share your Personal Data with third parties, such as vendors and service providers who provide assistance with billing, payment processing, fraud protection, credit risk reduction, marketing, data analytics support and service associated with the Site and delivery of purchased Services.
b. Compliance with laws and for other legitimate business purposes.
I will share your Personal Data when I believe disclosure is necessary or required by law, regulation, to protect users, the integrity of the Site and to defend or exercise my legal rights. I may also disclose your Personal Data when it may be necessary for other legitimate and lawful purposes as reasonably determined by us.
c. Affiliates.
I may share some or all of your Personal Data with my other company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other company’s under a common control (“Affiliates”), in which case I will require my Affiliates to honour this Privacy Policy.
d. Corporate restructuring.
I may share some or all of your Personal Data in connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition or dissolution transaction or proceeding involving sale, transfer, divestiture, or disclosure of all or a portion of my business or assets. In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, Personal Data may also be transferred as a business asset. If another company acquires my Company, business, or assets, that company will possess the Personal Data collected by me and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy.
4. NON-PERSONAL DATA I COLLECT
a. Information Collected by my Servers. To make my Site more useful to you, my servers (which may be hosted by a third-party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.
b. Log Files. As is true of most websites, I gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. I use this information to analyse trends, administer the Site, track users’ movements around the Site, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor my Site to my users’ needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you visit the Site again, it will recognise you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, I do not link this automatically-collected data to Personal Data.
c. Cookies. Like many online services, I use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the Site. I may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive user experience. This type of information is collected to make my Site more useful to you and to tailor the experience with me to meet your special interests and needs.
d. Flash LSOs. When I post videos, third parties may use local shared objects, known as “Flash Cookies,” to store your preferences for volume control or to personalise certain video features. Flash Cookies are different from browser Cookies because of the amount and type of data and how the data is stored. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash Cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash Cookies, click here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html.
e. Google Analytics. I may use Google Analytics to help analyse how users use the Site. Google Analytics uses Cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to my Site. I use the information I get from Google Analytics only to improve my Site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Site, rather than your name or other personally identifying information. I do not combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with your Personal Data. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent Cookie on Your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site and use Services, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to my Site is governed by the Google Analytics’ Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
5. YOUR U.K. PRIVACY RIGHTS Users from the U.K. have the right to ask me to amend or limit the processing of their Personal Data, (as defined by U.K. law) and in particular not to process their Personal Data for marketing purposes. I will inform you (before collecting your personal data) if I intend to use your Personal Data for such purposes or if I intend to disclose your Personal Data to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your rights to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms I use to collect your Personal Data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting me at: endemann.martin@gmail.com.

Any access request may be subject to a fee of £10 to meet my costs in providing you with details of the information I hold about you.
6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION Information, including information collected in the European Economic Area ("EEA") may be transferred, stored and processed by me and my services providers in the United States and other countries whose data protection laws may be different than the laws of your country. I will protect your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy wherever it is processed and take appropriate steps to protect the information in accordance with applicable laws. If you live in the EEA, or a similar international area, you may have additional privacy rights available to you under applicable laws. I will process your requests in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

INFORMATION SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY I maintain (and requires my subcontractors and service providers to maintain) appropriate organisational and technical measures designed to protect the security and confidentiality of any information I process. However, no organisational or technical measures are 100% secure so you should take care when disclosing information online and act reasonably to protect yourself online.
9. UPDATES From time to time, this Privacy Policy will be updated in whole or in part, at which time the new date will be reflected above in the “Last Revised” section. The updated Privacy Policy will immediately replace and supersede any prior Agreements, unless otherwise noted.

Please note that any request to be removed from such mailing lists may take up to one (1) week to become effective. Even if you are removed from any such list, if you order online, I will send you an email confirming your order and may need to contact you by phone, email, or regular mail if I have questions about your order.

11. THIRD PARTY WEBSITES You may have found this Site through a Link located on a third-party website operated by another company or you may choose to click on a link on this Site to websites operated by third parties. For example, I may at times include links to various social media platforms on this Site, but know that if you interact with these social media tools through this Site, then your experience on those social media sites will be governed by the privacy and other policies of those sites and the privacy settings you have chosen on those sites will determine the degree to which your information is made public. In short, please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy do not apply to information gathered through any website operated by other companies. I encourage you to read the privacy policies of each and every website that you visit to understand how they collect, use, secure, and share your information.
