Your privacy is very important to us. We have developed the following Policy for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate, disclose, and make use of personal information.
1. Your personal information and consent
When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address, and email address.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.
Information you provide to us will only be used to the extent required to process your order, or in some cases, other compatible purposes which you have expressly authorised or as required by law.
We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned.
We will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfillment of the agreed purposes.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.
If after you opt-in to our marketing, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent by unsubscribing to our emails or contacting Little Sprouts Program at any time.
2. Security
We will protect personal information by ensuring reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
Our site is built with Wordpress and uses the WooCommerce plugin to facilitate the sale of products.
We use Square and PayPal gateways to collect payments. They handle the security of the users’ details. For more insight, you may also want to read PayPal's Terms of Service or Privacy Statement here, and/or information about Square’s Privacy and Security here. Little Sprouts does not store any customer credit/debit card details.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements to help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
3. Cookies
The Internet pages of Little Sprouts Program use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser. Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Through the use of cookies, the Little Sprouts Program can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us to recognize our website users. The website user that uses cookies, e.g., does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
4. Age of consent
By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.
5. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.
If our store is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we may continue to sell products to you.
