COLLECTED INFORMATION

Category I – Personally Identifiable Information is information we collect on our Website that can be used to identify or contact you, including, but not limited to, your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. We only collect Personally Identifiable Information you voluntarily choose to provide to us. We may also request information from you about your shopping and product preferences, although you are not required to give that information.

We will not facilitate the merging of personally-identifiable information with non-personally identifiable information collected through any Google advertising product or feature unless we have robust notice of, and our user’s prior affirmative (i.e., opt-in) consent to, that merger.

You do not have to provide us with any Personally Identifiable Information to visit our Website. In fact, you can browse most of our Website without giving us any personal information. If you choose to withhold requested information, however, you may not be able to use some features of our website.

Category II – Information on users who visit our site. From these users, we collect and store only the following information:

1. the domain name through which you gained access to our website;

2. the location where you gained access to our website;

PROTECTION OF INFORMATION

We offer secure web pages to collect customer information and we store certain kinds of data in encrypted form. We exercise great care to follow technical and management practices to help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of data stored on our system. While no computer system is perfectly secure, the measures implemented by our Website decrease the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved.

CONFIDENTIALITY OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION

Information about our customers is very important, and it is not our policy to sell or otherwise provide access to such information to unaffiliated third parties. We require all of our staff to maintain the strict confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them unless disclosure is duly authorized or is required by law.

If you visit third party sites through links on this website, Bay Oak Law is not responsible for protecting private information on such sites. Use of these third party sites is fully at your own risk.
