OUR STORE POLICIES

Collection of Personal information
We'll use the information you give us.
When you interact with our Service, contact us, utilise our services, create an account, subscribe, share, produce reviews, sign up to get offers or emails from us, or purchase our items, ReadyAquarium will gather personal data from you directly.
We get information in an indirect manner.
We may get personal data about you from third-party affiliates or partners, as well as marketing organisations who provide us with such data as part of their agreement with us.
We may combine this information with information we already have about you. Contact information (such as an email address) and previous purchase history or interests are examples of data that might be collected.
Data is gathered automatically.
When you use our Service, we automatically collect information about you through the use of cookies and other similar technologies.

Categories of Personal Information and Purpose for Collection
ReadyAquarium collects the following categories of personal information: (1) contact information including your name, email address, street address, city, state, zip code; (2) authentication information, including the user name and password that you use to register an account on the Site; (3) financial information for payment processing purposes; (4) comments, reviews, suggestions; (5) personal characteristics including age, date of birth, gender, marital status, and nationality; (6) personal preferences including product preferences, online preferences, and interests; (7) online behavior information including online activity, preferences, and time spent viewing features; and (8) IP address or mobile network information.
ReadyAquarium only collects and processes the minimum amount of personal information from you that is necessary to the purposes of our information processing activities and retains such information only if required to fulfill such purposes. Our information processing activities include conducting our business, customer communications and support, user verification, payment processing, shipping, quality management services, Site maintenance and improvements, and complying with legal requirements. Where applicable, if ReadyAquarium intends to further process your personal information for a purpose other than that for which the personal information was initially collected, ReadyAquarium shall, prior to such processing, provide you with any relevant information on such additional purpose, and, to the extent required by applicable law, obtain your consent for this.

Financial Information
We use third party processors to collect payment information, such as a valid credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information, to process payments for customer transactions. This information is required to be submitted as part of our checkout process. We do not have access to any of this financial information; it is submitted directly to our third-party payment processing company (the “Payment Processor”), which uses the information to process your payment. The use and storage of that information is governed by the Payment Processor’s applicable terms of service and privacy policy.

Disclosure of Personal Information
ReadyAquarium does not trade, rent, or sell your personal information to third parties. We may share or disclose your personal information for the following limited purposes:
Third Parties Providing Services on Our Behalf. We may share information with Service Providers, such as the Payment Processor, who perform services and functions on our behalf to support our interactions with you. These Service Providers may assist with technical operation of our Site, provide analytics, process orders, transactions and payments, or provide customer service. We may also share non-identifying information, such as aggregate statistics or usage information, with third parties.
Your Consent to Have Your Personal Information Shared. In connection with your use of the Site, you may be asked to opt-in to receive informational or marketing offers, or to otherwise consent to the sharing of your information with a third party, including social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram, or Youtube. If you agree to have your personal information shared with a third party, your personal information will be disclosed to the third party and will be subject to the privacy policy and business practices of that third party.
Legal Disclosure. We may transfer and disclose information, including your personal information, usage information and device identifier, (including IP address), to third parties to comply with a legal obligation; when we believe in good faith that the law requires it; at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation; to verify or enforce our agreements, terms of use, or other applicable policies; to respond to an emergency; or otherwise to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of third parties, visitors to our Site, or the public.

Linked Sites
The Site may contain links to third-party owned or operated websites, including, without limitation, social media websites (each a “Linked Site”), as a convenient method of accessing information that may be useful or of interest to you. This Policy and the practices that we follow under this Policy do not apply to Linked Sites. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed on any Linked Site or for the privacy practices or security standards used by third parties on such Linked Sites.

We cannot control the actions of other users of the Site with whom you may choose to share your User Content.

Security of Your Information
If you choose to provide us with your personal information, you understand that we are transferring it to ReadyAquarium’s locations and systems in Canada or to the locations and systems of ReadyAquarium’s service providers around the world. ReadyAquarium has safeguards and security controls in place to protect your personal information. This includes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information (i) from accidental or unlawful destruction, and (ii) loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to the data. Please be advised, however, that while we take reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, such measures cannot be guaranteed to be secure. ReadyAquarium cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your personal information.

The security of your ReadyAquarium website account relies on your protection of your user profile information. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your user profile information, including your password and for all activities that occur under your account.

Any email or other communication purporting to be from one of our websites requesting your password or asking you to provide sensitive account information via email, should be treated as unauthorized and suspicious and should be reported to us immediately by using the “Contact Us” feature of our website. If you believe someone else has obtained access to your password, please change it immediately by logging in to your account and report it immediately by using the “Contact Us” feature of our website or by emailing info at readyaquarium dot com
