This Privacy Policy will be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices, and our customers' needs.

RDB’s Privacy Policy applies to all customer information, including personal information, that RDB collects and uses. 

RDB may collect information about its customers from a variety of sources, including, information that we collect directly from you (personal information you choose to provide such as name, postal address, email address, transaction information, localization information, and generic information). Customer information may be collected during, but not limited to, the following activities:

These uses improve our Site and better tailor each to meet your needs.

We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identifies a customer (such as name, postal address or email address) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide services that you have requested. For example, we use Shopify to power our online store—you can read more about how Shopify uses your personal information here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site—you can read more about how Google uses your personal information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies /privacy/.

Finally, we may also share your personal information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to our legal obligations under law or to government authorities or for the protection of our legal rights. 

We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our website or the information or content contained therein. Often links to other websites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Site.

Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Site to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites that have a link on our Site, is subject to that website's rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

This Site is not targeted to or intended to be used or accessed by children under the age of 13 and we ask that children under the age of 13 do not submit any personal information to us. RDB does not knowingly or intentionally obtain information from children without first obtaining parental consent in accordance with applicable laws like the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. RDB does not knowingly use personal information from children for any purpose. We encourage parents and guardians to be involved in the online activities (including wireless internet browsing) of their children to ensure that no information is collected from a child without parental or guardian permission. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information without their consent, he or she should contact us using the contact information provided at the end of this Privacy Policy. We will delete such information from our files within a reasonable time. In addition, RDB does not knowingly collect information from minors under the age of 21.

The use of cookies is standard on the internet and many major websites use them. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can usually change your browser to prevent or notify you whenever you are sent a cookie. This gives you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. When you visit our Site, we will also collect information automatically regarding your use of the Site. This may include: the IP address for the computer you are using, a device ID, and pages you visit on our Site. There may be instances when we combine that information along with the information you provide or from other third parties to better personalize our Site.

In the event that our Site (or a substantial portion of its assets) is acquired, your information would be considered part of those assets, and may be part of those assets that are transferred.

Please note that your information will be stored and processed on our computers in the United States and consistent with United States privacy protection standards. The laws on holding personal data in the United States may be less stringent than the laws of your country of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Please be aware that, although we endeavor to provide reasonable security for information we process and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches. Please also be aware that it is your responsibility to keep your electronic devices secure. We therefore recommend that you do not jailbreak or root your phone, which is the process of removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. It could make your phone vulnerable to malware/viruses/malicious programs, compromise your phone’s security features and it could mean that the site or mobile application will not work properly or at all.
