Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

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. 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, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about discounts, new products or services, 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 contact@americanchordata.org:

• Change/correct any data we have about you.
• Have us delete any data we have about you.

Orders

We request information from you on our order forms for subscriptions and individual copy orders. On these forms, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we'll use this information to contact you.

We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and Payments are safely processed with PayPal Braintree. Your privacy and security is important to us. No credit card information will be stored on American Chordata servers or databases, and these companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.

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 to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and 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 team members who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.

If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately via email at contact@americanchordata.org. Thank you!
