Voluntary Posting
We may offer customer reviews, message boards, customer support online chat, or blogs on portions of our website or software applications. Any information you voluntarily disclose when you post to one of these areas becomes public and may be used by us for online and offline promotional and commercial uses. If you choose to post, comment or otherwise share content on our website or software application, you should be aware that any personal information you submit may be public and may be read, collected, or used by other users of those areas, who may include advertisers and other commercial enterprises. We are not responsible for any personal or company information you choose to submit to such publicly available portions of our website or software applications. You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose information, personal or otherwise, online in any community area, such information can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post personal information online (such as your e-mail address), you may receive unsolicited messages from others. We have no control over this use of your personal information. We reserve the right to delete or remove any content you send to or publish on our website or to our software application, but have no obligation to do so to protect your personal information or otherwise.
Making Communication Choices
If you do not wish to be contacted via email, direct mail, or telephone, please let us know your preferences by contacting us at the contact information provided below, or by filling out the form on the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” webpage, if that webpage is present. Please provide your name, mailing address, email address, and/or telephone number so that we may identify you correctly. You may also unsubscribe from our email using the link provided in each email. If you ask us to remove you from promotional lists, we will maintain your name on a "do not contact" list to ensure that we continue to honor your requests. We may request authentication or verification, such as logging in with your username and password, or confirmation of information you previously provided to us. If you ask us to remove you from marketing email lists, we will maintain your name on a "do not contact" list to ensure that we continue to honor your requests. Due to privacy concerns and our inability to verify individual requests and contact information, we are unable to honor "opt out" requests made by a third party on your behalf, unless the third party is a parent of a minor or your authorized representative. For removal from mailing lists, it may take up to ten business days to process your request and, due to the fact that mailings are planned long in advance, up to 60 days to process your postal mail request. When you interact with our website to pay for a service, we will continue to confirm such transactions via email and, if questions arise concerning your payment, we may contact you via email, postal address or telephone number. If you change your mind about your choices, you may start receiving promotional communications from us again by logging onto your online account and changing your preferences, or by signing up when you visit our website.
We do not use automated telephone or text message marketing. However, we may communicate with you about your order or inquiry via individual telephone call or text message. If you wish for us to no longer communicate with you via text message, please inform a customer support representative or email us at info@tuckgin.com.

Cookies and Web Beacons
Your web browser offers so-called “cookies” which, if you allow their use, store small amounts of data on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies do not contain any personal information about you and therefore cannot be used to identify you personally. However, cookies assist us in tracking which of our features you like best. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying your browser and our websites are viewable even if you disable the cookie function on your browser. However, if you disable cookies, some advanced and customized features or offerings may not be available to you.
Some pages on our websites may contain electronic images known as web beacons, which are also called “single-pixel gifs.” These images allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver certain services. We also may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to count how many messages have been opened and acted upon. Web beacons are not used to access your personal information, but they are a technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about usage on our websites. Web beacons collect only a limited range of information, including the time and date of page view, cookie number and description of the page on which the web beacon resides. Our website does not honor “Do Not Track” requests.
Security
We use a variety of technologies and processes to protect your personal information. However, we do not guarantee the absolute security of your personal information, but we do take reasonable efforts to secure your personal information, including the encryption of sensitive personal information. We will never request your credit card information by email. If you receive an email that appears to be a request from us for credit card information, do not respond as this may be a "phishing" scam designed to steal your personal information. Email is not a secure means of communication.
Links to Other Websites
Our websites and software applications may contain links to websites owned by third parties. Please review the privacy policy of any third party’s website you access via a link from our website.
Children's Privacy
We do not permit the use of this website by persons under the age of 21. A minor’s parent or guardian should contact us if we have inadvertently collected information about that child without the parent or guardian’s authorization, so that we may delete such information from our files. By using our website, you agree to provide us with accurate information concerning your age or identity if we request it. You also agree not to assist persons under the age of 21 in accessing our website, or to attempt to contact children under 18 through our website.
Our website is intended solely for wholesale business customers or potential customers, and are not intended for persons or businesses that are not residents (legally or otherwise) in the U.S.
Policy Changes
We update this Privacy Policy as we believe is necessary to protect our clients and to comply with a changing environment. We recommend that you check the Privacy Policy when you visit our website to be sure that you are aware of and understand our current policy. If we make material changes to this policy, or in how we use or collect your personal information, we will prominently post a link to such changes at least 10 days prior to implementing the change. Your continued use of the site will constitute acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If we make retroactive changes to the Privacy Policy, we will prominently post a link to such changes and we will email affected users at least 10 days prior to implementing the change.
Your California Privacy Rights
Under California Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to ask us for a notice describing what categories of personal customer information we share with third parties or affiliates for our direct marketing purposes. That notice will identify the categories of information shared and will include a list of the third parties and affiliates with which it was shared, along with their names and addresses. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this notice, please submit a written request to us (see Contact Us below). In your request, please include your postal address and specify that you want a "Your California Privacy Rights Notice." Please allow at least 30 days for a response.
Periodic Changes
This privacy policy may be updated with five business days’ notice, with such notice posted until at least five business days after the revised privacy policy takes effect. Any material revisions to this privacy policy will be reasonably prominently posted on our websites, and will apply to information collected both before and after the revision to the extent permitted by law. Your use of the websites following any such revisions will be deemed your acceptance of such revisions. You should periodically visit this page to review our current policies on our collection and use of information.
