This document will outline how we gather and utilize various sources of information obtained during your visit to the Service. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected on our website, and is made a part of and incorporated into the Terms and Conditions.
This Privacy Policy communicates how, when, and why we gather information about our customers and what we do with it. This Privacy Policy does not apply to other websites to which we link.

Information Collected
Personal Information
If you place an order through our Service, we will ask you for your name, e-mail address, shipping address, telephone number, credit card information and certain other personally identifiable information about yourself (“Personal Information”). We use this information to process and fulfill your Order and to notify you of your Order status. All archived credit card information is maintained in a secure and safe environment. Telephone numbers and e-mail addresses are used to contact you regarding your Order.
We do not collect any Personal Information about you unless it is voluntarily provided by you. Please note that we may sell, rent or share your Personal Information, including your e-mail address, with certain third parties for marketing purposes without your express permission.
Non-personally identifiable information
In addition, we may also collect non-personally identifiable information, such as your IP host address, pages viewed, browser type, duration and frequency of visits, and other data, and may aggregate any information collected in a manner which does not identify any individual (“Aggregate Information”).
Information obtained in connection with the Service may be intermingled with and used by us in conjunction with information obtained through sources other than the Service, including both offline and online sources.
How We Use Your Information
We store and process your information on computers that are protected by physical as well as technological security devices.
We use Personal Information in order to give you a more enjoyable convenient shopping experience and to help us identify and/or provide information, products or services that may be of interest to you. We use your Personal Information to support and enhance your use of the Service and its features, including without limitation: fulfilling your order; providing customer service; tracking email messages you send; providing information to other service providers, and otherwise supporting your use of the Service.
We may also track your past purchases to provide you with a personalized profile of your shopping history. In addition, we may notify you about new services or special promotional programs, or send you offers or information. In connection with their performance of services to maintain and operate the Service and certain features on the Service, certain third parties may be permitted to access your Personal Information. For example, we may use third parties to host the Service; operate various features available on the Service; send emails; analyze data; provide search results and links and assist in fulfilling your Orders.
Please note that we may also share information about you or your order if we believe in good faith that disclosure of specific information is necessary to (a) resolve disputes, investigate problems, or enforce our Terms of use, or (b) protect and defend our rights or property or the rights and property of you or third parties.
Affiliates, Consultants, Third Parties
Our affiliates, technical consultants, third party auditors and other third parties who make our Service available, enhance its functionality, assist with the processing of your purchases, or provide other services and/or who deal with you in delivering content, samples, products, gifts and prizes, have access to this information, and we require them to agree that they are covered by this Privacy Policy.
Law enforcement and investigations
Please note that we reserve the right to and may disclose Personal Information about you in response to (a) requests from local, state or federal law enforcement officials; (b) any judicial, administrative or similar proceeding or order, such as subpoena; (c) if required by law; or (d) to investigate suspected fraud, harassment, physical threats, or other violations of any law, rule or regulation, the Service rules or policies, or the rights of third parties or to investigate any suspected conduct which we deem improper.
Change of control
Please also note that we reserve the right to transfer your Personal Information and other information as an asset in connection with a proposed or actual merger or sale (including any transfers made as part of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding) involving all or part of our business or as part of a corporate reorganization, stock sale or other change in control. In such a circumstance the transferee would be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Non-personally identifiable information
We use non-personally identifiable information in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Service, so that we can improve the Service and for business and administrative purposes. We may also use or share with third parties for any purpose aggregated data that contains no personally identifiable information.
Please note that, while the Aggregate Information we provide will not identify you personally, in some instances third parties may be able to “de-anonymize” aggregate data to identify you personally based on additional information they have about you or that they receive from third parties. While we do not intend for third parties to de-anonymize the aggregate data we provide, if you are concerned about potentially being personally identified, you should not use the Service.
Use of Cookies
Our Service may pass a “cookie” (a string of information that is sent by a website to be resident on your system’s hard drive, and/or temporarily in your computer’s memory blocks). The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a particular page. The Service may use cookies in on-line catalogs to keep track of your status and contents of your shopping cart, or to retain information gathered in cookies to allow you access to password-protected areas of the Service. You may set your browser to decline cookies. If you do so, however, you may not be able to fully experience some interactive features of the Service.
Web Beacons
For our Service, a “web beacon,” also sometimes called a pixel tag or transparent GIF, is an object that is embedded in a web page. It is usually invisible to you, but allows website operators to check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email communication. We may place web beacons on our Service and in emails or text messages we send to you.
The Service may include third-party advertising, links to other websites, and other content from third-party businesses. These third-party service, businesses, and advertisers, or advertising companies working on their behalf, may use web beacons and other personal identifiers to measure the effectiveness of their ads, personalize or optimize advertising content and to track users who link from their respective websites to the Service.
We do not have access to or control over such web beacons or personal identifiers that these third parties may use. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party websites. You are encouraged to review the privacy policies of the different websites you visit.
Some third-party advertising companies may provide a mechanism to opt-out of their technology. For more information about the opt-out process, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative website, available at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
How We Protect Your Information
We are committed to protecting the information we receive from you. However, Tinnitus will not be liable for disclosures of your Personal Information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties. We have undertaken all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized Internet access to visitor data retained in our servers; however, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, Tinnitus cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or any information provided online, and you do so at your own risk. Users must accept all risks associated with any data transmission, including the risk that their Personal Information may be intercepted in transit.
Your profile is password-protected so that only you have access to your account information. In order to maintain this protection, do not give your password to anyone. Our staff will never proactively reach out to you and ask for any Personal information, including your password. You should never share devices. This will help protect your information entered on public terminals from disclosure to third parties.
Our third-party provider encrypts your credit card number and other Personal Information using secure socket layer (SSL) technology to provide for the secure transmission of the information from your computer to our servers. In addition, only those employees and third parties who need access to your information in order to perform their duties are allowed such access.
Accessing and Updating Your Personal Information and Preferences
You may access and update your Personal Information and your preferences to receive e-mail or other communications from us by sending an email to mark@tinnitusdesigns.com.
We will take commercially reasonable steps to implement your opt-out requests promptly, but you may still receive communications from us for up to ten business days as we process your request.
While we make efforts to accommodate requests to restrict our use of your information, we reserve the right to delete all or any portion of customer information if we are not able to reasonably accommodate a requested restriction.
Information Retention
To preserve the integrity of our databases, our standard procedures call for us to retain information submitted by users for an indefinite length of time. We understand your submissions as consent to store all your information in one place for this indefinite length of time, if we so wish. If required by law, we will nullify user information by erasing it from our database. We will also respond to written user requests to nullify account information.
Enforcement and Dispute Resolution
Tinnitus uses a self-assessment approach to assure compliance with this Privacy Policy and periodically verifies that the Privacy Policy is accurate, comprehensive for the information intended to be covered, prominently displayed, completely implemented and accessible. We encourage interested persons to raise any concerns using the contact information provided and we will investigate and attempt to resolve any complaints and disputes regarding use and disclosure of Personal Information.
Children’s Privacy and Parental Controls
These Service are not intended for persons under the age of 21 and we have no intention of collecting or soliciting Personal Information from persons under the age of 21 If you are not 21 or older, you are not authorized to use the Service. Parents should be aware that there are parental control tools available online that you can use to prevent your children from submitting information online without parental permission or from accessing material that is harmful to minors. If a person under age 21 has provided us with Personal Information, we will use all reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database when requested.
Links To Third Party Service
Our Service may contain links to other websites, and other websites may also reference or link to our Service. These “other” domains are not controlled by Tinnitus. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Service to read the privacy policies of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. We do not endorse, screen or approve, and are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other web Service. Visiting these other websites is at your own risk.

If we decide to change our Privacy Policy for the Service, we will post the revised Privacy Policy here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information and whether we may disclose it to anyone. Your continued use of the Service indicates your assent to the Privacy Policy as posted. Please check this page periodically for changes to this Privacy Policy.
