- We may disclose information about you
to the government or to other third parties to comply with the law,
applicable regulations, governmental and quasi-governmental requests,
court orders, subpoenas or other legal process, such as in connection with
suspected illegal activity associated with any of the Sites or our
business. We reserve the right to release information collected through
any of the Sites to law enforcement or other government officials, as we,
in our sole discretion, deem necessary or appropriate.
- We may also disclose information about
you to third parties if needed to enforce any of the terms of use for one
of our Sites or other agreements, or any investigation of potential
violations thereof; to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud,
security or technical issues; to protect against harm to any of the Sites;
or to protect our rights, property or safety or the rights, property or
safety of our users or others (e.g., to a consumer reporting agency for
fraud protection).
To help protect the privacy of information collected through our
Sites, we employ security measures that are intended to be consistent with
industry best practices. In addition, we take commercially reasonable steps to
store such information with the objective of protecting such data against
unauthorized access. Notwithstanding the foregoing, please be aware that our
Sites are operated on software, hardware and networks, any component of which
may, from time to time, experience breaches of security or other problems
beyond our control and that may compromise the security of information
collected about you.
Please also be aware that despite our best intentions and the
guidelines outlined in this privacy policy, no data transmission over the
Internet or via a Wi-Fi network, or any encryption method, can be guaranteed to
be completely secure. You understand that it may be possible for third parties
not under Avian Emporium's control to intercept or access your personal
information transmitted through one of our Sites or via email. Accordingly,
although we undertake commercially reasonable steps to protect the security and
integrity of all information you provide through our Sites, due to the inherent
nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that any such information will be
absolutely safe from intrusion by others who do not have your authorization.
Any such transmission of information about you to Avian Emporium is at your own
risk.
You may correct or update information collected about you
through any of our Sites by contacting us at the email or mailing address noted
at the end of this privacy policy below, or (if available on a particular Site)
by editing your information and preferences on the "My Account" page.
You may also unsubscribe to any email subscriptions by following the applicable
"unsubscribe" link. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to
update our files to reflect your request as promptly as possible.
We may retain original and updated information for reasons such
as technical constraints, dispute resolution, compliance with laws, fraud
prevention, troubleshooting and enforcement of our terms of use and other
agreements. In addition, please note that we cannot update any information
about you collected through any of the Sites that has already been disclosed
(as permitted under this privacy policy) to a third party.
At this time, our Sites do not support "Do Not Track"
preferences that may be available in your browser for letting websites know
that you do not want them collecting certain kinds of information.
Specifically, if you turn on the Do Not Track setting on your browser, our
Sites are not currently capable of following whatever Do Not Track preferences
you set. For more information about Do Not Track, visit donottrack.us.
If you use any of our Sites from outside of the United States,
information that we collect about you through the Site will be transferred to
servers inside the United States and maintained indefinitely. By using the
Site, you consent to the transfer of data about you into the United States, as
well as the processing of such data in the United States.
Our Sites are not designed to appeal to persons under 13 years
old ("children"). We do not knowingly collect or maintain personal
information from children through our Sites, except for persistent identifiers
that may be collected through children's sections of our Sites which (as
permitted by applicable law) we will use solely to support the internal
operations of the Sites. If we learn that any unauthorized personal information
of a child has been collected, we will take appropriate steps to delete such
information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child has
provided any such personal information to us, then you may contact us at the
email or mailing address noted at the end of this privacy policy below and
request that we delete that information from our systems.
This privacy policy only addresses Avian Emporium's practices
for the personal (and other) information that we may obtain about you through
any of the Sites. Please be aware that when you use or access any of the Sites,
you may be directed to other websites that are beyond our control, and Avian
Emporium is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties or the
content of linked websites. We would expect most, if not all, of these third
parties will collect information about you when you use their offerings. However,
Avian Emporium is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties,
regardless whether they are linked or otherwise connected to our Sites. We
encourage you to read the posted privacy policy and terms of use whenever
interacting with any third-party website, app, or other offering.
We reserve the right to make changes to this privacy policy at
any time, with any such changes to be effective prospectively. The use of your
information is subject to the privacy policy and terms of use in effect at the time
of collection. Please visit this page periodically so that you will be apprised
of any such changes. Your continued use of our Sites after any modification to
this privacy policy will constitute your acceptance of such modification.

policy or any of our Sites, you can contact us by:
