Additional information

How we protect your data

We will not share your data with any body except for legal or security reasons.

What data breach procedures we have in place

We protect customer data with the following site features:

• We are entirely using SSL/HTTPS throughout all our sites. This encrypts our user communications with the servers so personal identifiable information is never captured by third parties without authorization.
• Databases are sanitized (actual user personal details are removed) before deploying to development or testing environment.

In case of a data breach, System administrators will immediately go through affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed after informing the user.

What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data

We use data to improve the experience of the site, improve functionality, and help it rank better on search engine platforms.

Data might also be used for marketing and promoting relevant merch.
