Overview of Security Measures

General. Our website uses Secure Sockets Layering (SSL) to encrypt your personal information and credit information as secure as possible before it travels over the Internet. SSL technology is the industry standard for secure online transactions. While we implement these security measures, we cannot guarantee the privacy of communications over the internet. We do not assume any responsibility for any loss or damage you experience or incur by the sending of personal or confidential information over the Internet by or to us, or by or from the use of our website or mobile applications.

Protecting Children's Privacy. We recognize the importance of protecting privacy where children are involved. We do not verify age of visitors to our website. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from anyone under the age of 13 and if you are under the age of 13, you should not submit any personal information to us. If you suspect that a child under the age of 13 has provided our website with personally identifiable information, we ask that a parent or guardian contact us at customerservice@familyfarmandhome.com or by mail at the address listed below.

Sale of Business. If some or all of the stock or assets of our business is sold or transferred, we may sell or transfer the corresponding information collected as part of the transaction. We also may retain a copy of that information.

Controlling Our Tracking Tools. Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies. How you do so depends on the type of cookie. Certain browsers can be set to reject browser cookies. Flash cookies cannot be controlled through your browser settings. Your mobile device may not give you the ability to control cookies. If you wish to block cookies on our mobile application, you will need to delete the application from your mobile device. If you configure your device to block cookies, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you visit our website. If you configure to block or delete cookies, not all of the tracking that we have described in this Policy will stop.

Our "Do Not Track" Policy: Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These browser features are not consistent. We are not set up to respond to those signals.

Third Party Links. Our Sites may include links to the websites of our business partners, vendors and advertisers. If you elect to visit any of the websites, you are encouraged to review their respective websites terms of use and privacy policies. We have no control over such websites and we disclaim any responsibility or liability for the content of those websites, including the manner in which the linked websites collect, disclose, use, share, or treat your personal information. Except for the situations explained in this Privacy Policy, we will not provide any of your personal information to these third parties without your prior consent.
