Do we use 'cookies'?
Absolutely. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. In simpler terms, a cookie looks very similar to this:

We use cookies to allow you to sign in to your user account and securely handle the user session, as well as carry security tokens from the web browser to our server to ensure that the information being posted or requested is a legitimate request and not data manipulated by a hacker in another location.

Cookies are often used to personalize your browsing experience or remember certain details for you for a limited time, saving you from having to re-enter information upon returning to a website in the near future.

We use cookies to:

• Understand and save user's preferences for future visits.
• Provide accounts and the ability to sign in and out of accounts on SITC.
• Transport security tokens, helping to ensure our users have a safe browsing experience on our website, and helping to ensure the security of SITC.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this by configuring your web browser's cookie settings. Since each browser is a little different, look at your browser's Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your preferences.

If users disable cookies in their browser:
If cookies are disabled in your web browser, you will not be able to access most areas of this website, or more than half of the websites on the Internet, but you are certainly able to do so, inside your web browser's Settings.

Third-party disclosure:
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information.

Third-party links:
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, but we do keep your private or identifying user information isolated from these other sites and services, to maintain privacy and to abide by the terms described in this policy.

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. - See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

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.

You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:
On this Privacy Policy page.

You can change your personal information:
By logging in to your SITC account and visiting My Account.

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?
We honor Do Not Track signals and Do Not Track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
No. We do not allow third-party behavioral tracking.

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.

Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information. In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur we will notify you via email within 7 business days We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:

• Provide you with a user account.
• Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
• Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.
