REMOVAL FROM MARKETING LIST

To be removed from our marketing list, please email us at —————, or simply click the unsubscribe button found at the bottom of any of the emails that we send you. If you have set up “My Account,” you can also go to the “email preferences” section of your account and modify your subscription settings. Please allow us at least ten (10) business days from when the request was received to complete the removal, as some of our promotions may already be in process before you submit your request.

MAINTENANCE AND PROCESSING OF INFORMATION

Your personal data may be stored, transferred and process in and to the United States and in other countries by our affiliates and/or service providers. The data protection laws in these countries may provide a lower standard of protection for your personal data than your country of residence. We take great care in protecting your personal data and have put in place adequate mechanisms to protect it when it is transferred internationally. We will transfer your personal data in compliance with applicable data protection laws and will implement suitable safeguards to ensure that your personal data is adequately secured by any third party that will access your information (for instance, by using the Model Clauses as approved by the European Commission).

By using our Websites and providing personal data to Wa Mutanda Group LLC, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the collection, use, maintenance, transfer to and processing of your personal data in the United States or other countries or territories, and, unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we use this consent as the legal basis for that data transfer.

If you have questions or wish to obtain more information about the international transfer of your personal data or the implemented safeguards, please send us an email to —————————-

SECURITY

Security Measures

Wa Mutanda Group LLC uses commercially reasonable measures to keep your personal data private and safe. We take appropriate physical, electronic and administrative steps to maintain the security of personal data we collect, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our servers, as well as employing electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access. In addition, it is our policy to never send your payment card number via email. Our customer care center and stores operate over private, secure networks. Please note, however, that email is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting payment card information.

We use industry standard security technology in transferring information to process your orders. All payment card transactions should take place in protected areas of our Websites, which are designed to reduce the risk of any loss, misuse or alteration of the information collected. When you begin the checkout process, you should move into such a protected area. Once you’ve entered, the page address (URL) should change from “http” to “https.” Also, a key or a closed lock should appear in the lower right hand corner of your screen to notify you of this change. You should remain in this secure zone for the entire checkout process. Please check that you are still in this protected area when you type in your payment card details.

Despite our best efforts, the transmission of data over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we use commercially reasonable means to ensure the security of information you transmit to us, we cannot guarantee that such information will not be intercepted by third parties. We may, however, prosecute any unauthorized or fraudulent transactions to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Spoofing and Phishing

Spoofing and phishing are common Internet scams. These may occur when you receive an email from what appears to be a legitimate source requesting personal data from you. Please be aware that Wa Mutanda Group LLC will never send you an email requesting you to verify payment card or bank information. If you ever receive an email that appears to be from us requesting such information from you, do not respond to it, and do not click on any links appearing in the email. Instead, please forward the email to us at —————————-, as we will endeavor to investigate all instances of possible online fraud.

Other Websites

Our Websites may include links to third party websites whose privacy practices may differ from ours. If you provide personal data to any of those third parties, your data is governed by their privacy policies, and we encourage you to read those privacy policies carefully before providing your personal data.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our Website is not intended for children. We do not intentionally collect any personal data from children under the age of sixteen, and will dispose of any such information if we become aware that it has been provided to us.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

Wa Mutanda Group LLC may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post the updated Privacy Policy on this page with an updated date. Under certain circumstances (for example, in connection with certain material adverse changes to this Privacy Policy), we may also elect to notify you through additional means, such as posting a notice on the home page of our Websites or contacting you via email.
