Opt-Out Choices, Notifications, and Retention of Information

Folksmedia provides you with the opportunity to opt out of receiving certain types of communications.

You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us by following the instructions in those communications.

In addition, if certain information has already been provided to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information will be subject to those third parties’ policies.

How We Keep Personal Information Secure

Your personal information is protected by commercial reasonable physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state regulations and industry standards. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption. In addition, we enforce physical access controls to our offices and files, and we do not authorize access to users’ personal information except for those personnel who require such access to fulfill their job responsibilities. We do not currently collect or store any user payment information such as credit card information, but have selected third party online payment services so that when you place an order online, your personal details and credit card information are encrypted using SSL encryption technology before being sent over the Internet. Although we cannot guarantee encryption or the privacy of your personal details, SSL makes it very difficult for your information to be stolen or intercepted while being transferred. All information sent to our credit card payment processors is in the secure SSL environment, which will protect it against disclosure to third parties. Despite our efforts to ensure security, we cannot guarantee that personal information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of our administrative, managerial and technical safeguards. Therefore, we urge you to take adequate precautions to protect your personal data as well, including, without limitation, never sharing the username and password used in connection with your participation in the Folksmedia Services. If we learn of a system security breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically. By using the Folksmedia Services, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically. Folksmedia may post a notice on its website(s), mobile application(s) and/or other services if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice of a security breach), you should notify us of your request by emailing us at contact@folksmedia.com .
