b) detect, investigate and otherwise address fraud, security or technical breaches, or related matters; or
c) protect against imminent harm to the rights, property, or safety of 3LP, its users, or the public at large, as required or permitted by law.
3.5 Sharing of Payment Data: 3LP may share transaction information with our third party payment processor (“Payment Processor”) and our third party shopping cart provider (collectively “Payment Partners”) when you make purchases on our Service. The information shared with our Payment Partners is limited to the information required by our Payment Partners to complete the payment transaction. 3LP does not capture or store the financial information provided by you to our Payment Partners via our Service. 3LP only stores the results of said transactions as provided via notifications from our Payment Partners to us upon the completion of a payment transaction.
3.6 Sharing of Data with Other Third Parties: In addition to disclosing information to our Payment Partners, 3LP may disclose your PII to other third-party service providers (“Providers”) who perform services on our behalf. Examples of such Providers may include, but are not limited to, data storage and web hosting companies, as well as consultants we may engage for various reasons. 3LP requires Providers to use and protect your PII consistent with the provisions of this Policy.
4. Security of Information
4.1 Any information sent by you to 3LP through Internet, e-mail, or through our Service may not be secure and is therefore done on a non-confidential basis and at your own risk. Once such information is received, 3LP takes appropriate security safeguards to prevent its unauthorized use, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These safeguards include periodic review of our internal processes, and benchmarking of same with industry best practices.
4.2 Access to PII is restricted to 3LP employees, contractors, and agents on a need to know basis. Such individuals are generally bound by confidentiality agreements and may be subject to termination and criminal prosecution should they fail to comply as required by said agreements and/or with the contents of this Policy.
5. Data Integrity
5.1 3LP processes PII only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with the provisions in this Policy. Reasonable steps are taken to ensure the quality of the PII that 3LP collects, processes, and stores. 3LP depends on its users to keep their PII current and accurate. 3LP conducts periodic reviews to ensure that only the PII required by our Service is captured and used consistent with the provisions of this Policy. The maintenance of data integrity is a joint collaborative effort between 3LP and our users.
5.2 3LP may delete data, from time to time, upon the request of an individual user. 3LP requires that a user present proper credentials for authentication before honoring all such requests. Good faith attempts are made to work with individual users regarding data related issues. 3LP reserves the right to refuse such requests when they prove unduly burdensome and/or are impractical. 3LP will not delete data required to be kept by applicable law or data otherwise required by 3LP for legitimate business reasons.
6. Choices Regarding PII
6.1 Should 3LP decide to use PII other than for the purpose originally collected, 3LP will do so only with your consent. You will be given the opportunity to opt-out of any such use. Should 3LP become involved in a sale, acquisition, or any form of transfer of some or all of its assets, then 3LP will provide notice to you before your PII is subject to a new or different privacy policy.
6.2 You always have the option of contacting 3LP should you have questions regarding your PII. Please contact 3LP using the contact information provided above.
7. Protecting Children
7.1 3LP restricts the use of our Service to individuals of majority age (i.e. you must be at least eighteen (18) or twenty-one (21) years of age, based on the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you access the Service). 3LP does not knowingly collect or solicit PII from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent of a child under the age of 13 and you suspect that your child has registered on our Service, then you can request that any information provided be immediately deleted from 3LP’s database(s) by sending an email to: support@3lionspublishing.com, or by contacting 3LP via the contact information provided above. 3LP will promptly respond to any such notification, and upon verification, immediately delete the information in question.
7.2 No one under the age of majority, as described above, should attempt to register on our Service, or otherwise provide 3LP any PII including name, email address, phone number, physical address or any similar information. The protection of children on the Internet is an important public policy concern—one that 3LP is committed to supporting.
8. Links
Our Service may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites that may collect or solicit information. Our Privacy Policy does not cover information collected or solicited by these third-party websites. 3LP is not responsible for the privacy practices of such sites. 3LP users are encouraged to pay attention when they leave our Service and to read the respective privacy policies of each website that collects personally identifiable information. This Policy only applies to information provided by you to 3LP via our Service or through other mechanisms.
9. Enforcement
Because we are committed to protecting our users’ PII, 3LP conducts periodic reviews of our internal processes to ensure that we remain in compliance with this Policy. We will cooperate with the appropriate authorities to resolve any user complaints regarding the transfer of PII. 3LP will initially try to resolve the complaint with the individual user. Formal complaints should be sent to 3LP using the contact information provided above.
10. Policy Changes
In the future, we may make changes to our Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our privacy practices and/or changes to our Service. 3LP’s goal is to keep our users aware of what information we collect, use, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. When changes are made to this Policy the “last updated date” will be modified accordingly. If changes are made to our Privacy Policy then 3LP will provide notification on our Website. In addition, further notification will be provided to users that have registered with our Service.
