You may be able to opt-out of such tracking technologies to terminate such advertising; however, you may continue to see such advertising on Affiliate and Third Party websites.

For additional data protection rights, see OTHER DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

Security
FG retains personal information at its own premises and elsewhere, in some cases with the assistance of Third Parties, including by means of cloud services and similar technologies. FG endeavors to take every reasonable precaution to maintain adequate administrative, physical, procedural and technical security with respect to all personal information, including information held in FG’s offices and information storage facilities and elsewhere, so as to prevent any loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, destruction or modification of the personal information under its control. Where Third Parties and/or cloud services or similar technologies for storage and retrieval are involved, FG requires such Third Parties to employ at least the same level of security that FG uses to protect your personal data. However, the nature of the internet and information and communications technologies generally does not make absolute security possible; consequently, FG does not guarantee absolute security of the transmission, reception or storage of your information.

Payments and Shipping
FG and some of its Affiliates and Third Parties encrypt payment information and certain other information, including credit card, bank account and similar items using secure socket layer technology (“SSL”). While FG, the Affiliates and Third Parties are very careful in their use of such information, no transmission of electronic data via the internet or other digital service is absolutely secure and it is therefore not possible to guarantee the complete security of such information.
Transaction information from credit card users who purchase products or services from FG may be received by Affiliates or Third Parties such as Amazon Pay, Shopify or PayPal. Such information generally includes credit or debit card number, bank account information, purchase amount, and date/time of purchase. If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. Shopify encrypts such data through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Shopify stores your purchase transaction information only as long as is necessary to complete the transaction. When the transaction’s complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

While conducting fraud monitoring, prevention and detection activities, such Affiliates or Third Parties may also receive information about you from their business partners, financial service providers, identity verification services, and publicly available sources (for example, name, address, phone number, country); such information is essential for such Affiliates and Third Parties to confirm the purchaser identity and generally prevent fraud. Such fraud monitoring, detection and prevention measures may employ technology that assists them in evaluating the risk of an attempted transaction, which’s enabled on an FG site or the application that collects information from the prospective purchaser.

Changes to this Agreement
FG reserves the right to update and/or change the terms of this Agreement; the Site Owner will post those change to FG’s homepages so that users and/or visitors always have notice of and access to the type of information FG collects, how it will be used, and under what circumstances, if any, FG may disclose such information. By continuing to use the FG sites and/or services where such changes are posted, you agree to the changes to the Agreement.

If at any point in time FG or the Site Owner decide to make use of any personally identifiable information on file in a manner substantially different from that which was stated when this information was initially collected, the affected user or users will be promptly notified by email. Users at that time will have the option as to whether or not to permit the use of their information in this separate manner.

Change of Ownership and/or Control
In the event that FG is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your personal information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. This Privacy Policy will apply to your personal information as transferred to the new entity.

Acceptance of Terms
Through the use of the FG sites, you hereby accept the terms and conditions described in this Privacy Policy. If you are not in agreement with all these terms and conditions, then you should refrain from further use of FG. In addition, your continued use of FG following the posting of any updates or changes to the terms and conditions of this Agreement means you’re in agreement with and accept such changes, except to the extent applicable law requires otherwise.
