A "cookie" is a small data file that is placed on your computer when you visit a website. A "session cookie" expires immediately when you end your session (i.e., close your browser). A "persistent cookie" stores information so when you end your session and return to the same website at a later date the cookie information is still available. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service when you visit our Website and other websites of interest to you. We also use cookies to remind us of who you are, tailor our products, services and advertising to suit the personal interests of you and others, estimate our audience size, assist our online merchants to track visits to and sales at our website and process your order, track your status in our promotions, contests and sweepstakes and/or analyze your visiting patterns

Security

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of information transmitted to us. To guard your information delivered to us electronically, our Website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). We utilize a third-party payment processor to handle all financial transactions on our Website. SSL encrypts your credit card number, name and address so only our third-party payment processor should be able to decode your information. No data transmission over the Internet, however, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your contact information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our website, and you do so at your own risk.

We urge you to keep any password that you establish with us in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to log off your account and close your browser window when you have finished your visit. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place. You remain solely liable for the safety and security of your password.

Protecting Children

The Website is meant for adults and those who have reached the age of majority as defined by the laws of their domicile. This Website is not meant for individuals under the age of eighteen (18) or those defined by the laws of their domicile as minors. OBS does not permit anyone under the age of eighteen (18) to register with us without parental consent. We also do not send email correspondence to anyone who tells us that they are under the age of sixteen (16) (even where parental consent is provided). Nonetheless, this Privacy Policy is still designed to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") to the extent COPPA applies. Accordingly, we do not knowingly collect or retain any personal information about users under the age of thirteen (13). If we obtain actual knowledge that we collected or retained personal information about a child under the age of thirteen (13), that information will be promptly deleted from our database, servers, and all other media. Since we do not collect information from users under thirteen (13) years old, no such information is knowingly disclosed to third parties.

California users under the age of 18 may request the removal of their content or information publicly posted on websites by sending us an email at data@everythingbutwater.com. Please note that most of the user content that appears on our website is stored and controlled by third party providers; thus, complete and comprehensive removal of the content may not be possible.

You access such linked websites at your own risk. You should always read the privacy policy of a linked website before disclosing any of your information on such website.

Legal Process and Investigation Issues

From time to time, we may be required to respond to a subpoena or similar investigative demand from law enforcement, a court order, a government agency, or a private litigant. We reserve all rights to defend, within its sole discretion, against such legal requests, demands, and claims. For instance, we may raise or waive legal objections or rights. We also reserve the right to disclose your information, as allowed by applicable law, when we believe it is reasonably appropriate based on the situation. Such disclosure may occur, but is not limited to, disclosing your information in connection with efforts to: investigate, prevent, or commence other actions regarding suspected illegal activity or other wrongdoing; to protect; defend the rights, property or safety of our company, our users, our employees, or others; comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; or enforce our agreements or policies.

Information Retention and Security

We may store your information for more than one (1) year from the time of initial submission, as well as automated personal information we collect about you.

We take reasonable security measures to protect users' information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption and physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal information, and the usage of reputable third-party vendors. Despite these reasonable measures, we cannot guarantee our security measures are impenetrable. Therefore, although we take reasonable steps to secure your information, we cannot and do not promise or warrant that your information will always remain secure.
