AmazingSprouts.com has
established this Privacy Policy to explain how it protects and
manages the personal information that it collects from you (the
customer) online.

Consent
for Collection, Use and Disclosure
|
Your
use of the AmazingSprouts.com site and/or your registration for
AmazingSprouts.com products and
services constitute your consent to the terms of this Privacy
Policy. If you do not
agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the
AmazingSprouts.com
site.
AmazingSprouts.com may
occasionally update this Privacy Policy.
When it does, AmazingSprouts.com
will also
revise the “last update” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. In addition,
AmazingSprouts.com will seek
a customer’s prior consent, by email, for any new uses or proposed
disclosures of information collected from the customer prior to the
change. AmazingSprouts.com
will notify customers by email of changes to this
policy that will affect information collected from them in the future. In certain
circumstances, however, AmazingSprouts.com will not inform and obtain
the consent of
the customer, such as in connection with an investigation of a breach
of an agreement, contravention of laws, an emergency where the life,
health or security of an individual is threatened, the collection of a
debt or in compliance with the request of a law enforcement agency or a
court order.
A
customer may withdraw his or her consent for collection, use and
disclosure at any time by unsubscribing to our newsletter &
mailing list database. The link for doing the same is at the bottom of
every mail that our autoresponder sends
out. Please note
that, if you
do, AmazingSprouts.com may suspend its provision of products and
services to you.
When you
unsubscribe, if you fall within the guarantee period for any
AmazingSprouts.com
product and you request a refund, the guarantee will be honored.
AmazingSprouts.com collects,
at the time of your registration and your sign-on to its web
site, certain “personal information” (information that personally
identifies you) including but not limited to your name, email address,
home or work address, telephone number, and information about your
computer hardware and software (e.g., IP address,
operating system, browser type, domain name, URL, access times, and
referring web site addresses).
AmazingSprouts.com has
implemented this Privacy Policy to protect personal information
received from its customers, and to respond to any inquiries.
The Privacy Policy also provides that AmazingSprouts.com will use
appropriate
contractual means to establish a comparable level of protection for
personal information which is sent for processing by third parties on
AmazingSprouts.com’s behalf.

users of AmazingSprouts.com’s

to

In
addition, as we continue to develop our business, we or our affiliates
may sell or buy other businesses or entities, or we may merge with
another company. In

business assets. Also,
in the event that AmazingSprouts.com or substantially all of its assets

Access
to Personal Information

information in your file, if you so request by emailing
Taarak-at-AmazingSprouts-dot-com.
If
AmazingSprouts.com is not able to provide access to some aspect of a
customer’s
personal information, it will provide reasons for denying access such
as; that by doing so would likely reveal personal information about a
third party, or that it is confidential commercial information or
attorney–client privileged communications, or that the information
relates to a breach of an agreement or a contravention of law, or that
its disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or
security of another individual.
Customers
have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete information be
amended as appropriate, by contacting AmazingSprouts.com. AmazingSprouts.com
will promptly correct such personal information.
