Do Not Track

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference Users can set if they do not want web services to collect information about their online activity. However, there is currently no universal standard for sending and receiving DNT signals. Due to this lack of universal standard, it would be impossible for us to promise that we comply with all known and unknown DNT standards. Therefore, Kayaker Shop does not in any way monitor or respond to DNT signals or other mechanisms that provide a choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about activities over time and across different Websites or online services. If a universal standard for DNT becomes available, we may revisit our DNT Policy.

How Do I Get My Information Deleted?

If You would like Kayaker Shop to delete your personal information that has been collected, please contact us with your request. We will take steps to delete your information as soon as is practicable, but some information may remain in archived/backup copies for our records and as otherwise required by law. For example, we may need to retain personally identifiable information, such as your name, postal address, email address, phone number, and a record of any sales and returns. The purpose of retaining this information is to be able to contact you in the event that you have a problem with a prior purchase.

Removal of Information from Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we learn that we have collected the personal information of a child under 18, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.

Security Information

When You send sensitive information (such as your credit card number) to us via our order form, that information is encrypted and protected with SSL, the current industry-standard encryption protocol. When You are on such an SSL-protected page, a picture of a closed lock appears at the bottom or top of some Web browsers. At other times this lock appears open. Another way to tell if You are on a secure page is to look at the address or URL of the page. (Look in the address box or right-click on the page and select "Properties.") These secure SSL-encrypted pages have URLs that start with https:// instead of http://. If you have any questions about security at our Website, please email us.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may modify and revise our Privacy Policy from time to time. In the event of a modification to the Privacy Policy, Kayaker Shop will send notification to You through our Website or email that a change has occurred. It is required that You accept the revised Privacy Policy before continuing to use the Website. By accepting changes to the policy, You are agreeing to be bound by the revised policy.
