How long do we keep your information?

Fangamer retains your information we receive as described in this Privacy Policy for as long as you use our Services or as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected, provide our Services, provide you with invoices, receipts, or information of past Services rendered, resolve disputes, establish legal defenses, conduct audits, pursue legitimate interests, enforce our agreements, and comply with applicable laws. To dispose of personal data, we may anonymize it, delete it or take other appropriate steps. Data may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time.

How do we keep your personal information secure?

We follow industry standards on information security management to safeguard sensitive information, such as financial information, customer details, and any other personal information entrusted to us.

Our credit card processor performs annual audits to ensure our handling of your credit card information aligns with industry guidelines. They are certified as a PCI DSS Level 1 compliant service provider, which is the highest level of compliance available, and their platform is audited annually by a third-party qualified security assessor.

No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.

How do we protect your personal information across borders?

Fangamer primarily stores personal information sent or collected via or by Fangamer in the United States, in the cloud, our servers, or the servers of our third parties and Service Providers. To facilitate global logistics, we may transfer and access such information from around the world. For example, your address may be required to be on a printed label of a package, and may be accessible by the applicable logistics provider who may be handling your package on its way to the destination country. Personal information may be accessible to law enforcement, customs enforcement, or other authorities pursuant to a lawful request. By providing information to Fangamer, you consent to the transfer and storage of personal information in these locations.

Anything else that should be known?

The Services are not targeted to children under the age of 13 or the age of majority in their territory. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under 13 or the age of majority in their territory; if you are a child under 13 or the age of majority in your territory, please do not use the Services or send any personal data about yourself to us. If we learn we have collected personal data from a child under 13 or the age of majority in their territory, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

Your California Privacy Rights: If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Once a year you may email us at orders@fangamer.com with subject “Personal Data Request” to know if we have sent any of your information to third-parties for the purposes of direct marketing.

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. At this time, there is no general agreement on how companies like Fangamer should interpret DNT signals. Therefore, Fangamer does not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, whether that signal is received on a computer or a mobile device.

Fangamer Privacy Notice

Addendum

Additional U.S. State-Specific Privacy Rights Addendum

If you are a resident of a state in which state-level privacy law is enacted (e.g., Colorado, Connecticut, Utah or Virginia), additional rights described in this Section may apply to you as applicable law comes into effect.

Your Privacy Rights

You may have the following rights, in each case to the extent set out in applicable law:

• The right to confirm whether we process personal information about you and request access to such personal information (including, if applicable, in a portable and readily usable format).
• The right to correct inaccuracies in certain personal information we may hold about you; and
• The right to delete personal information collected from or about you.

You may request to exercise these rights by:

• Emailing your request to orders@fangamer.com with a subject line “Personal Data Request” or
• Mailing your written request to:

Fangamer
c/o Data Privacy
5055 E. Speedway Blvd
Tucson, AZ 85712

As required under applicable law, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to information or acting on your request to exercise your rights. We may require you to provide your name and email address. We may limit our response to your exercise of the above rights as permitted under applicable law. When you submit a request to exercise your rights described above, we will use the information you provide to process your request and to maintain a record of your request and our response, as permitted under applicable law.

Although we try to limit the personal information collected in connection with a request to exercise the right to access, certain requests may require us to obtain additional personal information from you. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the right to know and/or right to deletion, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity. If we are unable to comply with all or a portion of your request, we will explain the reasons for declining to comply with the request.

Under applicable law, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. You may make such a designation by providing the agent with written permission to act on your behalf. We will require the agent to provide proof of that written permission. To the extent permitted by law, we may require you to verify your own identity in response to a request, even if you choose to use an agent. If you are an authorized agent submitting a request on behalf of a consumer, please indicate that in the request and provide the required documentation of the data subject’s written permission.

If your rights request is denied, you may lodge an appeal with us. The response to your rights request will inform you of any appeal rights you may have and how you may exercise them.

We do not sell personal information and we do not collect your information via targeting cookies. Please visit our website at https://fangamer.com/privacy to see what cookies Fangamer uses on its websites.
