Hello. Thank you for visiting. Here’s how we protect your data and respect your privacy. If you have any concerns about your privacy, please contact us by visiting our contact page.
Our website address is https://perishablepress.com/
If you are a Perishable Press customer or subscriber, or just visiting our site, this policy applies to you.
If you are a registered Perishable Press customer or a visitor to our website we act as the “data controller” of personal data. This means we determine how and why your data are processed.
From the first moment you interact with Perishable Press, we are collecting data. Sometimes you provide us with data, sometimes data about you is collected automatically. Here’s when and how we do this:
Here is an overview of the types of data that we may collect as you navigate our site and use any of our services or products:
We never collect any “sensitive data” about you (like racial/ethnic origin, political opinions, religious/philosophical beliefs, genetic data, biometric data, health data, data about your sexual life or orientation, and offenses or alleged offenses).
Perishable Press is intended for use only by those who are 18 years of age or over. We do not target our business at children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal data from any person under 16 years of age.
The data protection law requires that we use your data only for certain reasons, and where we have a legal basis to do so. Here are the reasons that we collect and use your data:
We collect data from you when you register on our site, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, respond to a survey or fill out a form. Any data that we request that is not required will be specified as voluntary or optional. Here is an overview of your privacy choices and rights.
If you choose to do this, you can continue to use the website and browse its pages, but we will not be able to process transactions without personal data.
You can block cookies by activating a setting on your browser allowing you to refuse cookies. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. If you turn off cookies, you can continue to use the website and browse its pages, but certain site features (like logging into the Members Area) will not work properly.
We will inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for marketing and if third parties are involved. You can opt out from marketing by contacting us (see the "Contact Us" section below).
You can exercise your rights by contacting us via our contact page (see the "Contact Us" section below).
This includes the right to request supplementary information about:
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
For any such request, we will provide you with the information within 30 days, unless doing so would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others (e.g. another person’s confidentiality or intellectual property rights). We’ll tell you if we can’t meet your request for that reason.
At any time and for any reason, you may contact us to correct any inaccurate personal information that we may have about you.
We may use your data to determine whether we should let you know information that might be relevant to you (for example, tailoring emails to you based on your behavior). Otherwise, the only circumstances in which we will do this is to provide the Perishable Press service to you.
We will give you a copy of your data so that you can provide it to another service. We will not do so to the extent that this involves disclosing data about any other individual.
You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the data we collect. Every effort is made to ensure that Perishable Press data is safe and secure. Our business literally depends on solid security, so it is taken very seriously.
Other than the third-party vendors listed below, or in situations where we have obtained your consent, we do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer any personally identifiable information to outside parties. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety. Note that you can find the privacy policy for each of our trusted third-party vendors below, in the section “Third parties who process your data”.
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you submit a request, place an order, or access your personal information. These security measures include, but are not limited to:
We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted to our third-party payment processors via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway provider's database, only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and who are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your billing information (credit card numbers, etc.) will NOT be stored on our servers.
The data we collect is stored on secure servers in California, US, and may be processed in our office in Washington State, US. Also, data may be collected and stored in any data processing facilities operated by the third parties identified below. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing by us.
We will archive and stop actively using any personal identifiable information about you within 6 months from the last time you used Perishable Press. We will delete your personal data from our archives no later than 6 years from the last time you used Perishable Press or as agreed with you in a separate contract.
The following services help us keep Perishable Press running by storing or processing your data on our behalf:
Tech businesses often use third parties to help them host their application, communicate with customers, power their emails etc. We may partner with third parties who we believe are the best in their field at what they do. When we do this, sometimes it is necessary for us to share your data with them in order to get these services to work well. Your data is shared only when strictly necessary and according to the safeguards and good practices detailed in this Privacy Policy.
