Providing personal information is up to you, our visitor. Your personal information is used solely by us, our employees, and our technical, fulfillment, and other agents and partners (collectively “Agents”) who assist us in operating this website, conducting our business, and servicing you. Our Agents are only permitted to use your personal information to perform these services, and we require that these companies agree to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

We take reasonable precautions to maintain the security of your personal information. Users are warned, however, that the Internet and electronic databases may be subject to interception, and you provide such information at your own risk.

If you turn cookies off, you won’t have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly.
Do we disclose the information we collect to third parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to third parties other than our Agents who require the information to fulfill orders and requests, provide technical assistance, manage this website, and administer our promotional programs, unless we provide you with advance notice, except as described below.
When we choose to run any joint promotion or program with a third party, we will not share your information with such parties.

We reserve the right to share your information without your consent if we are required to comply with laws or legal process or respond to any claims, or if in our good faith judgment, such action is reasonable necessary to protect our website and property (including our intellectual property) or the safety or property of third parties, to investigate violations of our Terms of Use or any illegal activity, fraud, or threats, or in connection with a merger, acquisition or transfer of assets of Spread The Love® (provided that we will notify you in advance).
