Your data may be stored through Wix.com's data storage, databases, and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall. You can review Wix's Privacy Policy here: https://www.wix.com/about/privacy.

For Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company. You will be notified via a prominent notice on our Website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.
With Business Partners: We do not currently share user information with business partners for joint promotions or to offer their services. If this changes, we will update this policy.

With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your consent.

We do not "sell" personal information in the traditional sense of exchanging it for monetary payment without a direct service relationship. However, please see Section 12 regarding "sharing" under California law.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Website and store certain information. Tracking technologies used are beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our Website. Our use of cookies is managed through the Wix platform, which provides tools for cookie consent.

What are Cookies? Cookies are small files that are placed on your computer, mobile device, or any other device by a website, containing the details of your Browse history on that website among its many uses.
Types of Cookies We Use (facilitated by Wix and any integrations you use):
- Necessary/Essential Cookies: These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through the Website and to enable you to use some of its features (e.g., security, basic site functions). They help to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts. Without these cookies, some services cannot be provided.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make when you use it, such as remembering your login details or language preference. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you use the Website.
- Analytics and Performance Cookies: We use Wix Analytics to collect information about traffic to our Website and how users use the Website. The information gathered may include the number of visitors, the websites that referred them, the pages they visited, what time of day they visited, whether they have visited before, and other similar information. Wix Analytics helps us understand user behavior to improve our Website. Wix acts as our data processor for this information. The data collection by Wix Analytics may be subject to your cookie consent choices.
- Advertising/Targeting Cookies: We may use advertising or targeting cookies on our Website. These cookies track your Browse habits to enable us or third parties (via integrations on Wix) to show advertising which is more likely to be of interest to you. These cookies use information about your Browse history to group you with other users who have similar interests.
Your Choices Regarding Cookies: When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner provided by Wix. This banner allows you to manage your preferences for non-essential cookies, including analytics and advertising/targeting cookies. You can typically also manage cookies through your browser settings. However, if you do not accept certain cookies, you may not be able to use some parts of our Website.
We do not currently have a separate Cookie Policy. This section outlines our primary use of cookies.

Data Security

We rely on the comprehensive security measures implemented by our website hosting platform, Wix.com, to protect your personal information. Wix employs a variety of industry-standard security technologies and procedures to help protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include, but are not limited to:

SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit.
Encryption of data at rest.
Firewalls and network security.
Regular monitoring for vulnerabilities and attacks.
Compliance with security standards (e.g., PCI DSS).
Secure data centers.

The safety and security of your information also depend on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we and our platform provider do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal information for as long as you have an active account with us. For personal information not associated with an active account (e.g., inquiries submitted via a contact form), or where otherwise necessary, we will retain your information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, provide our services, resolve disputes, establish legal defenses, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, enforce our agreements, and comply with applicable laws and legal obligations.

Non-personal information may be retained for internal analysis purposes or for longer periods if it is used to strengthen security or improve website functionality, or if we are legally obligated to retain it.

Your Data Protection Rights

Children's Privacy

Our Website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. No adult content is posted on this Website. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from children under 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

If we need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your information and your country requires consent from a parent, we may require your parent's consent before we collect and use that information.

Links to Other Websites

Our Website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

International Data Transfers

Your information, including personal information, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. Our Website is hosted by Wix.com, which has a global infrastructure, meaning your data may be stored and processed in various countries, including the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, and other jurisdictions where Wix or its service providers maintain facilities.

If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal information, to countries where Wix operates its servers. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

We rely on Wix to take steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, we note that while we are not actively targeting users in these regions, visitors may come from these locations. Wix states that it uses appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and adequacy decisions, for transferring personal data from these regions to countries that may not have an equivalent level of data protection, to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA Notice)

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). This section describes your CCPA/CPRA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Right to Know and Data Portability: You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (or longer, as permitted by law). This includes the categories of personal information collected, sources, purposes for collection, categories of third parties to whom we disclose information, and the specific pieces of personal information collected.
Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., if the information is necessary to complete a transaction, detect security incidents, comply with a legal obligation).
Right to Correct Inaccurate Information: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing ("Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information"): TGM Technologies does not "sell" your personal information in the common sense of the word (i.e., for monetary payment). However, under the CCPA/CPRA, "sharing" personal information can include disclosing it to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising (i.e., targeted advertising based on your activity across different websites, services, or apps). We use advertising/targeting cookies on our Website, which may involve such "sharing" of online identifiers or Browse activity with third-party advertising partners. California residents have the right to opt-out of this "sharing" of their personal information. You can exercise this right by clicking the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link (which you should ensure is available on our website footer) and managing your preferences, including through our cookie consent tool. (Note to tgmtechnologies.com: Please ensure this link and mechanism are properly implemented on your Wix site.)
Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: We do not currently collect "sensitive personal information" as defined by CCPA/CPRA that would require a separate right to limit its use. If this changes, we will update this policy.
Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.

To exercise your rights to know, delete, or correct, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by contacting us at info@tgmtechnologies.com. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.
