For purposes hereof:

We do not share Personal Information you provide to us through the Website or Applications with third parties unless it is necessary for the purposes for which it is provided, you consent to such sharing, or it does not amount to an interference with your privacy (e.g., to respond to feedback or an email enquiry; or for academic research).  We will not provide your Personal Information to the User Organization unless you consent to such provision.

How do we protect your Personal Information?

Your Personal Information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of Company personnel who have special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the Personal Information confidential.  The Company personnel who have access to such personal information may use it only in accordance with the principles set out in the Privacy Policy and applicable legislation and regulation.  To maintain the safety of your Personal Information, we implement a variety of technical, organizational, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of data used by, or transmitted to or from, our system when a user submits or accesses their Personal Information.  No data transmissions over the Internet, however, are guaranteed to be completely secure.  While we strive to protect your data from unauthorized use or disclosure, the Company does not warrant or guarantee the security of the data that you provide to us; any transmission is at your own risk.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of any password, user identification, or other form of authentication involved in obtaining access to password protected or secure areas of the Website, the Applications, or the Services.  If any breach of security is suspected, in order to protect you and your data, we may suspend your use of the Website, the Applications, and/or the Services without notice, pending an investigation.

Further, in connection with making payments on the Website or in the Applications, we will not have access to your payment information such as bank accounts or routing numbers, or your credit and debit card information and no bank accounts or routing numbers or credit or debit card information is stored on our servers.  All credit and debit card information will be submitted to, stored by and processed through a third party payment intermediary service (the “Payment Processor”).  All such interactions between you and the Payment Processor are governed by the Payment Processor’s privacy policy and terms of use. 

Following termination or deactivation of your account with the Applications and/or the Services, we may retain information, including profile information and Personal Information, in order to comply with applicable law, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigation, enforce our rights under our agreements with you, for backup, audit or regulatory purposes, and for other actions permitted by law.  To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

California Privacy Rights

Shine the Light.  Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents who provide Personal Information in obtaining products or services for personal, family, or household use are entitled to request and obtain from us once a calendar year information about the customer information we shared, if any, with other businesses for their own direct marketing uses.  If applicable, this information would include the categories of customer information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared that information for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2021 will receive information regarding 2020 sharing activities).  To obtain this information, please send an email message to contact@feirie.com with “Shine the Light Request” on the subject line and in the body of your message.  We will provide the requested information to you at your e-mail address in response.  Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the “Shine the Light” requirements and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response.

California Consumer Privacy Act.  The CCPA provides certain rights to California residents regarding their Personal Information.  A California resident has the right to request that the Company disclose certain information, including: (i) the categories of Personal Information it has collected about that California resident; (ii) the categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected; (iii) the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the Personal Information; (iv) the categories of third parties with whom the Company shares Personal Information; (v) the specific pieces of Personal Information it has collected about that resident; and (vi) the categories of Personal Information that the Company has sold about that resident and the categories of third parties to whom that information was sold.  A California resident has the right to request that the Company delete his/her Personal Information.  A California resident also has a right to “opt-out” of the sale of that resident’s Personal Information.  Finally, a California resident has the right not to be discriminated against for exercising his/her privacy rights under the CCPA; provided, however, the CCPA does not prohibit the Company from offering financial incentives, different prices, rates, levels or qualities of goods or services for the collection of personal information if that price or difference is directly related to the value provided by the consumer’s data.

Does our Site allow third party behavioral tracking?

We do not allow third party behavioral tracking. 

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of Personal Information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control.  The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.  We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

To protect children’s Personal Information, we do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from persons under the age of eighteen (18) that can be used to specifically identify them, and the Company does not permit persons under the age of eighteen (18) to use the Website, the Applications, and the Services.  If we become aware that a child under the age of thirteen (13) has provided us with Personal Information, we will immediately take steps to delete the Personal Information submitted and terminate the account. 

If you believe we might have any information from or about underage children, please contact us at contact@ppivi.com.

CAN-SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.  We collect your email address in order to:

  • send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions;  
  • process orders and send information and updates pertaining to orders;
  • send you additional information related to your product and/or service; and
  • market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred.

  • include the physical address of our business or site headquarters;
  • monitor third party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used;
