For the most part, We do not process your information in-house, but give it to third-party processors for processing. For example, when PayPal takes Your payment information, they are a third-party processor. They process your payment and remit the funds to Us.

More detail on third-party processing is detailed below.
We may, from time to time, process your data internally. The legal basis for this processing is both your consent to the processing, Our need to conduct Our legitimate business interests, and to comply with legal obligations. Our purposes in processing this information, if We do, is to administer, maintain, and improve Our website and offerings, to keep records of Our transactions and interactions, to be able to provide you with products, to comply with Our legal obligations, to obtain professional advice, and to protect the rights and interests of Our company, Our users (including you), and any third parties.

We use all reasonable methods to protect the safety of your data during transfer, including hosting Our website on reputable servers and engaging reputable third-party processors. By using this site and providing Us with information, you consent to this transfer, processing, and storage of Your information in the United States.

Data that is no longer needed by Us for any of the purposes listed above will be permanently deleted.
We may retain usage data as needed for internal analysis purposes. This type of data is usually retained for a shorter period of time than personal data, unless the data is necessary to improve the security or functionality of Our website or offerings, or We are legally obligated to retain the data for a longer period of time.
SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
We take all reasonable steps to protect your personal data and keep your information secure. However, no security measure is foolproof, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against interception or misuse.
