PII, as described in U.S. privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.

Third-party disclosures
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information when its release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other legitimate uses.

​

Third-party privacy policies
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on our website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites. 

​

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.  According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

​

• Users can visit our site anonymously.

• Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.

• Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found on the page specified above.

​

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. 

​

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

​

Privacy Policy changes
Fresh Leeks has the discretion to change this privacy statement at any time without notice. When we do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy page; such changes shall then be effective immediately. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed. Your continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.
